"Yoongi!" Yoongi told Kate to call her that, since the oppa thingy was getting out of hand on his side of the conversation. Especially since they’re only 2 years apart.

Kate abruptly showed him the ticket she bought for the mini Agust D concert. Jumping in place out of so much ecstasy. "Gah! I was one of the first 100 to get these for free! Oh, and don't be surprised, buuuuut, I ALSO GOT YOU ONE, TOO!"

One more scream out of her and Yoongi could curse out of annoyance. "Oh. . .uhm, thanks, Kate."

"You don't want it?" He ended up staring at the ticket in her hand. How should he be able to explain it to her?

"I. . actually have my ticket already."

"Really!? Let me see, then! Come on, we can be concert buddies," she paused for effect before closing in on him to whisper, "like real close friends do." Kate was nodding at just imagining how fun it would be to spend the night with him for once. Going out with her friend.

Kate doesn't have any other friends. Oh, maybe Rosé, but she’s not the type she would risk her life for to get tickets and besides, she's not a fan of Agust D; it’d only weird her out. Even though it could convince her to like him, too.

"I . . . don't want to."  Yoongi saved his own ass by himself by lying straight to her face.

"Why not? Come on! It's not like I'm going to steal it or tease you for the money you paid for it~" Enough was enough for the older male. He’s done and wouldn't want to risk having his identity exposed.

"We're not friends, Kate. We never were, so stop trying to talk to me and get better friends," he could see how hurt she was in her eyes. It wouldn't matter after this little argument, since it would completely cast her away from him. "You're too childish for me to deal with. Too snoopy and jumpy and— we just don't fit together. Leave me alone."

With that, he walks away without turning back. He deserves to be alone. Yeah, that was it. The end of an era.

"I think not!" Kate was trying to catch up to him, "You’re going through a bas time. It's okay if you can't open it up to me, I don't expect you to. All I can say is. .,"

Don’t say it. It’ll only make him—

"I’m here for you."

—feel guiltier.
