Strings ; [Soobin x Reader]

Bottoms Up

PREVIOUSLY...

"Soobin is that you?" Taehyung asks getting up and walks towards Soobin, "How about a proper greeting to your hyung?"

Soobin Scoffs. "You've stopped being my hyung a long time ago." Then he turns to me, "Y/N I'd like to talk to you."

"I'll be going now then, I know when I'm not wanted," Taehyung winks at me before walking away.

━━━━━━━━━━━━

"What were you doing with him?" Soobin asks. His tone is bitter.

"What's your deal with him anyways?" I respond crossing my arms.

"That's not important right now. Don't avoid my question."

I begin thinking about how he found Taehyung and I here. He must've seen everything and decided to follow us. Part of me is happy he cared enough to make sure I was okay, but I'm also pissed off that he only talked to me tonight because he felt threatened.

"Do you still love me?"

"What?"

"I asked if you still love me, Soobin."

He looks down at the floor. I keep hoping he'll look up at me and tell me 'Of course I do', but with each passing second it was clear he didn't feel that way about me anymore.

I finally break the silence, "If that's your answer then I think we should break up."

SOOBIN POV:

~ I think we should break up ~

Those words swirl around and echo in my head. I'm not sure why I can't answer her when she asked me if I still love her... Of course I still love and care about her, but at this point I'm just unsure of how we can fix anything. I'm only going to become more busy with my work, and if anything it's unfair to Y/N to have to put up with my chaotic schedule.

"I agree," I say meeting her eyes.

She gets up and stands across from me. "Alright then, it's decided." She takes off her necklace I gave to her on her birthday a month ago and hands it to me. "Goodbye, Soobin."

She leaves me there, having the necklace in my hand feel like the weight of a brick. Tears swell up in my eyes and I sit down on the loveseat.

"Fuck," I sigh and hang my head in my hands.

I know this is the right decision, but that doesn't make it any easier. All of our memories begin to cloud my mind, each one stinging more than the last. Y/N has always supported me and has been there for me even when no one else was. She's the one that told me to chase my dreams- the very dreams that are causing us to break up.

~ Ding Ding Ding ~

I look up and see a crowd surrounding Jennie holding a wine glass and knife. "I'd like to make a toast everyone!"

I take a moment to calm down, then find a spot to stand next to one of my group members, Yeonjun.

"Soobin where the heck have you been?" he whispers.

"I'll tell you later," I respond quietly and he nods. I don't really want to have to tell the other members about what happened between Y/N and I, but I know it's inevitable they'll find out eventually.
