TRISH
Honey?
TRISH
Baby, are you okay?
YUMIN
Momma
YUMIN
What's wrong?🥺
TRISH
Kiana called me earlier and told me what happened
with you and Yoongi
TRISH
Do you want to come back to America??
YUMIN
There's nothing for me here🤷🏽♀️
YUMIN
So, I might as well
TRISH
Yumin, I think you should separate yourself from Yoongi
for a few days
TRISH
Let yourselves cool off for a bit
TRISH
And then think everything over again
TRISH
I don't want you coming home and immediately regretting it😟
YUMIN
I thought you wanted me to come home
TRISH
I did
TRISH
When you were in danger
TRISH
But, now that you've moved, you're safer than before
TRISH
And making this kind of decision before talking it over with Yoongi
could be something you will definitely regret
YUMIN
Momma, I don't wanna talk to him right now
TRISH
I'm not saying you have to right now
TRISH
Take a break from each other
TRISH
Then talk this over with him
YUMIN
Okay...
YUMIN
Kiana told you what happened?
TRISH
Yeah
YUMIN
How'd she get your number?
TRISH
Freya
TRISH
I don't think she told her about what happened though
YUMIN
Oh
TRISH
You alright, honey?🥺
YUMIN
No
YUMIN
What Yoongi said really hurt
YUMIN
And now I'm really self-conscious about my body again
YUMIN
Everyone else is saying that he didn't mean it
YUMIN
That he just said that because he was upset when we
were arguing
YUMIN
But, why would he say something so hurtful?
TRISH
If Yoongi was upset when you two were arguing, maybe
he was trying to get you upset too
TRISH
That way he wasn't the only one feeling upset about something
TRISH
If I remember correctly, Kiana said he was upset because he and
Jimin were being touchy earlier this morning and it made you feel
uncomfortable
TRISH
But, you didn't explain to him why
YUMIN
I shouldn't have had to explain myself
YUMIN
I had just gotten called a slut yesterday
YUMIN
And then he and Jimin go and pull something
like that
YUMIN
It felt like they were taking advantage of me
YUMIN
And that's why I was upset
YUMIN
I was just too scared to talk about it
TRISH
Honey, I'm sorry all that happened
TRISH
I understand that you didn't want to talk about why
you were upset so soon
TRISH
Yoongi should've respected that
TRISH
And you have every right to be mad at him
TRISH
But, don't make any rash decisions while you're still
upset, okay?
YUMIN
Okay, Mom
YUMIN
I won't
YUMIN
Thanks for trying to help❤️
TRISH
Of course, honey
TRISH
I'll always be here if you need me❤️

Kiana had noticed that I hadn't stopped trembling since she'd arrived, helping me into a pair of black sweats and an oversized black and blue striped sweater Jimin had offered me. I lay curled up beneath my covers, Jackie purring against my chest as I drug my fingers through her jet-black fur. A groan slipped past my lips as I felt the familiar streak of warmth shoot up my thighs and through my stomach. My thighs quivered with pleasure, and I absolutely hated the feeling. Ever since I'd woken up that morning, Yoongi and Jimin's lips languidly exploring my skin, I had wanted them so desperately. But, I didn't want to be labeled as a slut.
I whimpered into my pillow, hoping that releasing some of my pent of feelings of distant pleasure would help settle my aching body, but hearing how needy I was only worsened it. I wanted Jimin to force those pliant whimpers from my throat, to have Jungkook panting above me, Taehyung growling hotly in my ear. But, most of all, I wanted to moan Yoongi's name against his neck, his lips sucking at the sensitive skin of my collar as he marked me as his. I just wanted to be his again.
Tears threatened to pool in the corners of my eyes, but I suppressed my feelings of heartache and curled closer to Jackie, letting my eyes flutter closed.
As soon as the darkness behind my closed lids overtook me, a shudder ran up my spine, the ghostly feeling of hands gripping my hips settling over my skin. I could faintly hear Yoongi's voice taunting me in my head, his airy moans surfacing in my thoughts and making my stomach bubble with desire. I groaned hotly, fisting my bedsheets as Jackie wiggled out from under my arm. She jumped up on the window seal above my head, staring down at me with judging yellow eyes. A moan slipped past my lips, Yoongi's name dancing on the tip of my tongue just as my bedroom door creaked open.
"Yumi!" Kiana trilled. She stepped over the threshold into my room, Jimin following shortly after with something tucked behind his back. The blonde had left me alone for only a few minutes, Kiana having returned from a quick trip into town. The brunette waddled over to the side of my bed with a plastic bag in her grasp, dumping it out on the bed behind the crook in my knees. I turned over beneath the covers, staring with wide eyes at the assortment of candy, chips, and colorful drinks she'd gotten. Seeing the assortment of rainbow-colored, bubbled fonts on the food packaging made me feel as if I were slipping again, a sleepy smile pulling at my lips.
"See!" Kiana piped, rounding on Jimin. "I got her to smile. I win!"
"Oh, no, no, no. Not yet. She hasn't seen what I got her."
"You didn't even get it for her. You handed me a 50 and told me to get the biggest one they had."
"Well, it's my money, therefore it's my gift. If she smiles more at my gift, I win."
"Jimin," I whined, sitting up to try and catch a glimpse of what he was hiding. "Lemme see."
The blonde shifted on the balls of his feet, something white and fluffy sticking out near his hip. My eyes widened at the sight of what appeared to be a paw, a newfound, childish interest sparking in my head. I pushed myself from beneath the covers, leaning forward on my hands and knees to try and glimpse it in full, but Jimin hid it further behind his back, chuckling in a warm, deep manner. "You wanna see it, angel?"
I nodded, gaze locked on the spot above his hip where I'd seen the fluffy white paw.
"What do you say?" he pondered knowingly, my gaze snapping up to meet his. I leaned back on the balls of my feet, fisting my hands patiently against my thighs.
"Please?"
Jimin chuckled again, pulling a somewhat large white bear from behind his back. It was fitted in a navy blue suit with brown cuffs, and I immediately fell in love with it. I stumbled forward, grasping the bear in my hands with a grin adorning my face. I wanted so badly to throw myself against Jimin's chest and hug him ever so tightly, but the lingering feeling of lust that danced across my thighs and stomach kept me rooted against the bed.
"I win," Jimin sing-songed, a matching smile tugging his lips up.
Kiana chuckled lightly, leaning forward to sift through the market goodies she'd picked up. "Fine, you win. I still bought the better gift, though." The brunette picked up a bag of gummies, ripping the bag open and popping one in her mouth. Jimin only grinned, picking up a flavored drink and jamming the straw through the foil lid. I leaned back against my pillows, cuddling the bear stuffy against my chest with a soft smile. That moment felt like bliss, curled up in the warm light of the evening sun, Kiana and Jimin making themselves comfortable atop my bed. Still feeling rather vile, I curled up with my head rested against Kiana's shoulder, my back to the blonde. I felt bad for ignoring him and depriving him of affection from me, but I couldn't bring myself to touch him.
Kiana cleared her throat, shifting so the I had to lift my head off her shoulder. We locked eyes, a soft smile playing at her pink lips as she ran a hand through my hair. "How about we watch a movie? Huh?" By the hopefulness in Kiana's voice, I knew she was only trying to distract me. But, no matter what we did, my chest still felt hollow, Yoongi's words dancing about my head. The mere thought of the brunet brought tears to my eyes, Kiana's widening with worry. She reached out to grab my face, gently wiping my stray tears away as she pulled me against her chest.
"I'm sorry, Yumin. W-We don't have to...if you don't want to."
I shook my head, letting my tears dampen the front of her striped shirt as I curled closer to her small form. I couldn't bring myself to tell her that what she'd said hadn't upset me. All I could do was let my eyes flutter closed, feeling a new set of hands gently rub against my back.
"Maybe we should just let her rest," Jimin murmured, his hand stroking my side. Every time his fingers danced along my waist, the tingly sensation in my stomach worsened, my thighs starting to quiver as I pressed them together.
"Alright." Kiana looked down at me, smoothing the hair atop my head. "You wanna cuddle, Yumi?"
I nodded, hugging my new stuffy against my chest. I glanced over Kiana's arm at my pink bunny, discarded near my closet door where she had placed it earlier. It brought back memories of when Yoongi had first given it to me, a little friend to cuddle late at night in his apartment as I fell asleep in his arms. The brunet had kept me tucked against his chest, gently stroking my thigh to lull me to sleep. The ghostly feeling of his hands carefully touching me brought a numbing smile to my face. My heart ached for the brunet, but after what he'd said, I knew his heart didn't ache for me.

Yoongi hadn't moved from his spot on the floor, Jungkook kneeling before him to hook his arms beneath the brunet's, hauling him to his feet. He kept them secured protectively around Yoongi's waist, ensuring that he wouldn't topple over on shaky legs. "Hyung, c'mon. Stand up," he murmured softly, gripping his hips. Yoongi didn't reply, his gaze blank as he stared down at the ground, his brows furrowing every so often as if he were forming a thought in his head.
"Yoongi," Jungkook muttered. "Yoongi, look at me."
Yoongi's hooded gaze trailed up slowly to meet his, dried tears staining his flawless face. Jungkook's heart ached for the older boy, but now wasn't the time to sympathize. "We're gonna help you, okay?"
"Help me with what?" Yoongi croaked, his voice dry and shaky from crying. "She's not gonna forgive me."
"You don't know that," Taehyung spoke softly, walking up behind Jungkook to draw his hand over Yoongi's head. The brunet stared up at him with a flicker of hope in his brown eyes, his cheeks painted red with tears. Jungkook felt a dull pain flare up in the bottom of his chest; it had been him in Yoongi's place years ago, crying over losing Soojin back in high school. But, luckily, the situations were far from similar, and Jungkook was very thankful for that.
"You guys just need some time away from each other," Jungkook continued for Taehyung, seeing the blonde grow emotional at seeing his hyung so hurt. "Yumin needs to calm down a little... Maybe let her come out of little space first so she's not so emotional."
"I made her go into little space?" Yoongi sounded shocked, almost panicked, as he stared up at the maknae with wide, red-rimmed eyes. Jungkook could only nod in reply, watching as his hyung pulled himself away, taking a few staggering steps back to sit at the edge of his bed. He stared at a single spot on the floor, his chest heaving as he inhaled shakily. His head lolled forward against the palms of his hands, propped up against his bared thighs as he tugged at the front strands of his hair. "I don't think I can fix this, Koo. She hates me."
"Yoongi, she's heartbroken, but she doesn't hate you." Jungkook's words made the brunet's spine stiffen, but he continued. "She just needs to be in a more sensible state of mind before you talk to her. And, frankly, you do too, hyung. I don't want you to start crying while you're trying to apologize. It might upset Yumin even more."
Yoongi only nodded, his face still hidden away in the palms of his hands.
"In the meantime," Jungkook sighed, stepping forward to sit beside the pitiful brunet. He hooked his arm around Yoongi's waist to draw him closer. "You should figure out how you're gonna apologize to Yumin. She needs to be reminded of how much you care about her, and how you didn't mean what you said. You were just upset that she didn't trust you as much as you would've liked."
"I still shouldn't have said that. Yumin was upset, and I tried to force her to tell me what was wrong. I should've just let her come to me when she was ready." Yoongi's hands tugged gently at his bangs. "I'm the worst boyfriend in the world."
"That's not true, hyung," Taehyung murmured, coming to kneel before the brunet. He pulled Yoongi's trembling hands away from his face, pressing soft kisses along his knuckles. "You made a mistake; everyone makes mistakes. You're not perfect, hyung. Yumin will forgive you, I know it. You just have to be patient."
"I'm not very patient," Yoongi mumbled.
"We know." Jungkook couldn't help but chuckle. "We were filming a RUN episode and you couldn't wait for the producers to start the laser tag match so you just waddled out into the middle. You were right out in the open. Namjoon shot you."
The three of them erupted into a fit of giggles, Yoongi's voice hoarse and weak. Jungkook leaned forward to press his lips against his hyungs, savoring their salty flavor as he forced a groan from the older's throat. Pulling back, he pressed their foreheads together, Yoongi's eyes fluttering closed as he soaked in the peacefulness of the moment.
"You're gonna have to be patient just this once, hyung. Can you do that for us? Can you do that for Yumin?"
Yoongi nodded slowly, letting his head fall against his shoulder, burying his face in the crook of Jungkook's neck. The maknae wrapped his arms around the brunet's waist, holding him close as he cast his gaze to the boy on the floor. "I love you," he mouthed to the blonde, Taehyung flushing a light pink as he bit down on his bottom lip.
"I love you, too," he mimed quietly, leaning forward to rest his head against his boyfriend's thigh. Having the two of them so close in the calming silence of Yoongi's bedroom seemed to give the boy a sense of hope. A sense that told him everything would end up just fine.

I'm so happy to see an increase in engagement towards my book with new readers. You guys seem to be enjoying it a lot. :) I'll continue to update once a week for you; every Wednesday. I apologize again for changing the update schedule from three days a week to one, but with my classes and a dramatic increase in work for myself, I haven't had much time to write new chapters for updates. I'll make sure to have at least a single chapter to tide you over per week. I just ask that you be patient.
I love you all!! Thank you so much for nearly 4K! <3
