50. Secrets

"I'm trying to feel my wings," Jungkook kept clenching, his front teeth burrowing into his upper lip. "It's weird, you know? It's like my wings are there but it also isn't."

"Jungkook, you don't have wings right now," Taehyung rolled his eyes, completely ignoring the angel's remark. "You're making yourself look like an idiot."

"Thanks."

"Wha—"

You were unsure whether Taehyung and Jungkook continued to bicker or not because you had tuned out their voices. However, when you turned around, you spotted Yoongi. The axolotl mermaid was hugging his short tail, pressing it to his torso as he shivered, beady eyes looking left and right in a pattern. It was obvious that the fire gem bearer was anxious and it made sense since he was completely surrounded by water. Looking up, you saw Jin still studying the wall art, not at all aware of his friend's current situation. This made you sigh again.

No words could describe how bad you felt. You knew that Yoongi was way out of character, everyone did, and it didn't take a genius to figure out that it was all because of one person, that it was all because of you. Sighing, you leaned on your rocky chair and though deeply. Breaking up with Yoongi was difficult even for you but knowing that staying in a relationship without toxic for both so you chose to let him go because despite not being in love with him romantically, you still cared about him as a friend.

What you didn't think through, however, was Yoongi's side of the situation. It was obvious how he felt. He wasn't taking it well.

"You are in no control of how others feel, Sky," Being used to K's voice, you no longer jumped when she suddenly spoke in your head. "Yoongi loves you. It is natural for him to be heartbroken."

"That's very reassuring," You replied sarcastically, the guilt devouring you even more. Flicking your tail upwards, you were now lying flat on your back, the rock making you uncomfortable but you weren't really in the mood to fix your position. You felt like you deserves it. "I know that, K. I know that he loves me and the fact that I didn't return that love, despite how he treated me and how much he cared... it makes me feel like such a bad person. But— But I can't help it. No matter how much I want to love him, I don't. I can't. And I... I don't know why."

K didn't reply for a moment, leaving behind an awkward silence. After a while, she finally spoke before you could think of any more self-hating thoughts. "If you do not mind, Sky, why did you not believe Yoongi's accusations of Taehyung?"

"Because he was being ridiculous," You replied in a heartbeat before scoffing loudly at the memory. "I don't understand why Yoongi would say that. Taehyung has been kind to us— well, not all the time, but you get what I mean. I'm pretty sure that he doesn't have any bad intentions hidden under his sleeve."

"How are you so sure about that?," K's answer made you frown as you sat up with an angered expression, Emily glancing at you weirdly. "It was unnecessary for you to be as angry as you were."

"Listen here, K—"

"Sky," You were cut off by K, which fueled your anger. Still, knowing that the others were around and would find it weird for you get angered for no reason, you calmed yourself down and balled your fists instead, tail swaying rapidly. "You must understand that not everyone is as honest and straightforward as you are."
