Watermelons and Skies

6

I thought I was getting better. I thought I'm slowly drifting away from her memories.

But goddamn it. Taehyung and Jin hyung just had to show me the photos of the girl group members soon to debut in YG

I knew there was seventy percent of a chance that she'll be included on the lineup. She was more than qualified to debut.

And when I saw her name, I just can't take it.

Day by day, I started getting back to the places where we used to meet. My thoughts started traveling back to those days when all I can hear is her laughter, those days that where the first word she utter was my name and the second is how much she loves me.

My hand balled into a fist.

The trouble I have to face if the news of us getting back together reaches her management, I don't care about it at this point.

After she just had her debut and I saw her back to where we used to meet, seeing her crying even though the sun is barely up, I knew it was because of me.

I know Jisoo, everything about her, even how she views things. I know she must have nearly lost it when I left her.

But there's this little hope that is on me that wishes that she's okay.

Seeing her breaking down, open for the world to judge, I can no longer stop myself.

I have to be with her.

So I did.

And as always, she accepted me. Even after everything.

I never wanted to leave her. But I had to.

I had to after her mother begs on her knees.

My eyes closed at the memory of my last encounter with her parents.

*flashback

"I'm begging you Yoongi," my heart clenched at the sight of her Mom, the person I had considered my second mother too.

Her face filled with tears and my eyes caught the painful expression showing on his father's face who decided to just sit a meter away from us as Jisoo's mom had her hands over mine.

My eyes started to moist.

"Ommoenim..." I whispered, barely able to utter a word.

I can't do what she was asking me. Especially not now when Jisoo needs me the most.

"You have to Yoongi. You know I adore you and I am never against your relationship. But we both know this needs to happen before her condition turned even worse. You understand, right?"

She was begging.

The mother of the person I love the most was begging that I leave her daughter. And it wasn't even like those where they don't want the guy for their daughter. I knew that she had treated me as her own.

"When everything's okay and the two of you still love each other, you can always have her back. You knew me Yoongi. I accepted everything, whatever she wants and whoever she loves, I love them too. But this time, please give me this,"

She pulled me for a hug and I can hear my heart shattering into pieces, my tears now streaming down my face.

I knew I have to do it eventually.

I have to leave her. Not for me but for her own sake.

"We're here," I was brought back from my travel to the past after the cab driver caught my attention.

"Oh," My eyes scanned the place and we indeed have arrived.

In no time, I was already standing a corner away from their dorm's doorstep.

"I'm here, Chu... I'll wait for you. I love you,"

After sending her a message, I leaned my back against the wall, my hand reaching for the corner of my eyes as I wipe the tear that escaped from it.

I didn't even realize that I was almost crying earlier.

Jisoo, she never asked me why I left. She didn't get mad.  Instead, she made me feel like we never even parted ways before.

"Yoongi-chi,"

I turned on my right when I heard her voice, a smile emerging on my face.

In two steps, her body flung towards mine and I accepted her with all smiles.

"I love you..." she whispered and I felt a tingling sensation that washes over my chest.

For her, I am her sanctuary. But deep inside, I was afraid I'd trigger something both me and her parents were afraid of.

Her hands were wrapped around my waist and I pulled away from her a little before brushing the strands of hair covering her face.

"I love you more, baby..." I smiled at her before giving her a kiss on her forehead, the cute smile showing on her face while her eyes were closed made me fall in love with her a thousand times harder than I already was.

I love you, Jisoo.

I wish we can stay like this forever...
