It'll Always Be You | MYG x Reader

Ch 69 | Finally Clear

It didn't take him long to figure out it was you. But you dated Ho-Jin in the past, so of course there's probably pictures of you hugging or kissing him. Yoongi's first reaction was to assume this was an old photo because you'd never do something like that.

Until he saw the time stamp.

The morning you came home early from Busan.

Things started making a little too much sense. You'd dodged his calls and took forever to text back that day, but he assumed it was because you were busy traveling or worried about Jeffrey. He also thought it was a little weird that you needed to get back home just because your brother-in-law was sick, but he didn't even think to question it.

Not until now.

Hoseok tried talking to Yoongi on his left but he couldn't hear anything. His eyes were laser focused on the photo of you and Ho-Jin together. That wretched pain crept back into his chest and made him feel almost hollow. This was the same exact horror he experienced when Aera showed him that video. And when his ex admitted to sleeping with his best friend behind his back. He felt lightheaded. He felt nauseous. He felt a miserable burning sensation behind his eyes. But he mostly felt fear that made his heart stop.

Yoongi was aware there was probably some sort of explanation. You're not dumb enough to do something so openly horrible like that. You wouldn't. Plus, Jimin would've let him know if there was anything suspicious going on.

But all Yoongi could feel was pain. And that pain quickly turned into nothingness. He wasn't going to survive another heartbreak, so he decided to shut down before that could happen. Another text came through from you and he decided to silence his phone, looking outside blankly the rest of the flight home.

The only thing he could think about was how he wouldn't be able to survive being betrayed again. Especially not by you.

You lied to him. To his face. Well, it was over a video call, but you blatantly told him you were home because of Jeffrey. Not only that, but Sunny had to have been in on it too. It made him wonder just how many people were hiding things from him. Did Kai know? Jimin? Namjoon?

Just one photo had his world crashing down, and those voice recordings didn't help. He was so frazzled he couldn't even worry about who sent them. All he could focus on was taking his next breath.

Eventually Hoseok quit trying to get Yoongi to respond, and he was practically in a daze until the flight attendant tapped his shoulder. He'd stared straight out the window for hours, not even realizing he'd landed.

"I called Jungkook," Hobi said, following Yoongi off the plane. "He's worried about you so he came to pick you up."

"Okay," Yoongi mumbled, his mind still foggy and his chest still on the verge of caving in. But at least he was numb enough to keep moving. Hoseok put some sunglasses and a mask on him, so the press wouldn't be able to see how destroyed he looked.

His eyes were glossy and had no light, and if any fan had seen that, they would've immediately known something was wrong.

"Hey Hyung," Jungkook smiled, sitting in the back of a van waiting for him.

Jungkook was always Yoongi's biggest supporter, no matter how badly he'd messed up, and for some reason his presence shattered his defense armor. Within a split second tears poured from Yoongi's eyes, and Jungkook quickly pulled his hyung into his arms.

For the first time in a long time, he cried in front of someone that wasn't you. And he didn't just cry, he sobbed. All the pain and heartache he'd been suppressing on the plane ride suddenly broke loose, and JK silently held him the entire ride home.
