*ONGOING*
{ "When you said that you liked me earlier, did you mean it?" Yoongi asked bluntly.
"What? When did I say that?" I asked, trying to dodge the question and my true feelings.
"Don't play stupid, Ae-Cha." Yoongi then paused for a m...
I followed Yoongi upstairs to his bedroom. As we walked back up the staircase in the entryway, I noticed there were some family photos hanging on the wall. One photo, which I assumed was one of his parents when they were younger, along with what I can only assume was a young Ae-Cha. I couldn't help but stare at it, as I found it odd that Yoongi wasn't in it.
Why is Yoongi not in this photo? I asked myself. I looked up at Yoongi, who easily noticed that I was looking at this particular picture.
"My parents had that family photo redone. I was originally in the picture, next to my mother--but after Seol-A's death...they took it upon themselves to have it retouched." Yoongi said in a nonchalant tone.

"Oh..." I muttered. "Yoongi...I'm so sorry..."
"It's alright. I guess they figured it was the only thing they could do to deal with their 'catastrophic' grief. They thought it would just rub salt in the wound that I had surrounding her death and well...it did. They blame me, they still do." Yoongi replied.
"That's horrible though...to lose their daughter...your sister, but then to take you out of a family portrait because they blame you--it makes no sense to me. You're as much their son as she was their daughter--and not only that...it was a horrible accident. They shouldn't blame you for it though." I replied. "It's not like you or anyone else could've prevented it from happening that night."
"I know, but they do." Yoongi sighed. He then slowly turned around and resumed walking up the stairs. I followed him until I saw a school picture of Yoongi. I couldn't help but smile slightly when I got close to it. He looked like polar opposite of what he does now, not to mention, it looked strange seeing him in a school uniform.

"Yoongi, you look totally different in this picture!" I exclaimed. "You don't even fully look like you!" Then, I started to involuntarily giggle, I just couldn't help it.
Yoongi sighed and slowly turned back around, his eyes narrowing at me. He slowly walked down a few steps to stand right in front of me. He grabbed my hand and then pulled me up the stairs with him. I couldn't help but giggle the whole way, even once we reached the top step and headed down the hallway towards his bedroom.
