25 - Crushed
You take two steps back and give him a slight bow, your face still a picture of annoyance. His face goes blank. "If you don't mind Miss Park, I just have a question." He turns his back as he starts walking and you follow him taking deep breaths to calm yourself down. It's not right for you to feel annoyed at him, you work for him, and you have to keep things professional and not mix your personal feelings as you always tell yourself. You shouldn't even have any personal feelings for him at all. You're too frustrated with yourself too.
He enters a large dressing room. His clothes and shoes for the concert were in the built-in closet of the room. A number of bags were at one corner, a luxurious looking sofa set in the middle of the room with some sweets at the table, a massage chair, a small dining table filled with fruits and snacks and a large vanity table with led lights surrounding it's mirror. The room itself speaks how big of an artist he is.
Yoongi takes the script from the vanity table and then turns to you. He looks at the door and when he sees no one there, he looks at you, his eyebrows drawn together.
"Is there a problem?" He asks you. "Why didn't you answer my messages and calls?"
You shake your head. "There's no problem at all. I just left my phone when I was strolling around the place that's all."
"But you texted back when noona sent you a message. And our messages were barely a minute apart." He countered. He's talking about Kyoung-Mi, but how did he know that their messages were barely a minute apart? Unless...
"Did you ask her to send me that message?" You ask.
"Yes, because I was getting worried that something might've gone wrong with you. So, if you didn't answer my call and messages, that only means there's a reason behind it. What is it Y/N?" He walks towards the other side from where you were standing so that his back was towards the door. He steps closer and you walk two steps back again.
"Nothing, there is no reason. I was," You search for an answer, and you know you have to lie again. "Dylan and I had an argument and I am pissed about it. I can't keep my mind straight that's why I don't want to talk to you because I don't want you to catch me on a bad mood." There, you did it, you managed to get a good excuse.
Yoongi watched your face carefully, his arms folded before him with the script getting wrinkled in his hand. He slowly nods his head. "Ok, so that explains this bad mood of yours right now. Are you ok though?"
You can't help but feel guilty when you hear the concern in his voice. How can you tell him that you're upset because you found out he's having a thing with one of his dancers? No way will you ever admit that.
"Yes, I'm ok." You reply.
You see Kyoung-Mi enter the door which got you tensed. Yoongi notices it but he stayed at his spot as he reads the paper he was holding. The filming crew comes in and you step move away from him.
"Will that be all?" You ask in a businesslike tone. You have to, with everyone in the room.
"For now, yes." He replies but his eyes tell you that he's not done talking with you.
You walk out of his room and let out a long sigh. You didn't realize that Hyeri and Yeo-Jin were not too far away from you. They come up to you with concern on their faces.
"What was he upset about? Unnie said he sounded angry when he asked her to message you if you were already here." Ye-Jin asks you.
You shake your head. "Some minor issue with the word I used in the script. He wanted it changed so I did." Thanks to your fast thinking, you manage to get away from this and the situation with Yoongi earlier.
Yoongi didn't get a chance to talk to you privately to your relief. He got busy with rehearsals which you watch with interest. You were standing at the side of the stage when Hyeri and Yeo-Jin joins you. You casually ask for the name of the female dancer who was the source of your annoyance earlier.
"Her? I think her name is Mi-Na. Right Yeo-Jin?" She asks the other lady sitting next to her.
She nods her head. "Yes, Mi-Na. Why are you asking?" The other lady turns to you.
"Nothing, I just think she's pretty." You reply. That part is true, and she's also almost as tall as Yoongi. Flawless skin, long straight hair, she can be a celebrity if she wants to, you muse.
"She is but sometimes, other than beauty, what's in here is important too." Yeo-Jin points at her head as she answers. You wonder what she means by that. Does she know her? Your mind was full of questions.
Kyoung-Mi appears and pulls your hand. "This is not a good view to watch. Come with me." The two other ladies follow behind you as you find yourself going down the stairs where you walk at an area surrounded by metal barricades. "You can watch the concert from here later too." She explains. You find yourself in front of the stage. There were machines around you, which will be used for the concert. You keep your distance from them as you move to a spot where you don't have to strain your neck from having to look up the stage.
The music ends and the dancers exits, leaving Yoongi on stage. He sits on a stool as he adjusts his in-ear and instructs the sound tech people he needs the sound turned up a bit. He gives them a thumbs up as soon as he got satisfied with the volume. A slow catchy rhythm starts, and a cheer erupts from the dancers who stayed at the side of the stage to watch him. Yoongi turns to their direction and gives them a small smile. Your eyes went straight to Mi-Na, and you see her covering her mouth as she giggles and laughs while her friends teased her. You tear your eyes away from them and focused on the ladies next to you instead.
"What's the title of this song?" You ask Kyoung-Mi. You feel quite embarrassed that you don't know it when everyone did.
"This is hit song Crushed from his new album, it made it to top 1 in the international chartsfor weeks. This is the first time he'd be singing it on stage which is why everyone's excited to hear it from him now." The woman explains to you.
You nod your head as you recalled a question that got asked at the press con about this song. This is also your first time to hear it, so you listen to the lyrics.
Remember when you and I were still together, hand in hand we thought it'll be forever,
We'd stare at the sky and share our dreams and worries,
We 'd scream at the world and curse at life's prejudice,
Oh hell, I almost lost my faith in myself don't know how to reach my dreams,
Every way I turn seems to be a dead end, how do I fend, I can't comprehend,
Many people do not believe that I can make it, but you had faith in me right from the start,
You said every hardship and pain that I've gone through will be my fuel to drive in reaching my dreams, oh.
You stopped breathing and your hands starts to feel cold when you hear the line of the song. It's familiar to you because you were the one who said those words to him. You start to have that tingling feeling that his eyes were on you and when you look up, you confirm that your instincts were correct. You did tell him he can use that line in his song if he wants to, but you never ever thought that he'll do it for real. You recall telling him that whenever he sings that line, he'd remember you. As if he read your mind, he nods his head at you.
"Are you ok Y/N? You're pale as a ghost. Looks like you're about to faint." Hyeri asks you, making you turn your head towards her. Your head was spinning, and you feel a bit weak. But it's from the shock and confusion.
Your eyes were round as saucers as you nod your head. "I'm just, uh, I'm just too warm. I think I've layered my clothes too much." You responded, gasping for air after holding it back for a long while. She hands you an unopened water bottle she was carrying with her, smiling as you said thank you.
Your eyes go back to Yoongi, but he wasn't looking at you anymore. His eyes were distant as he continues to sing the lines of his song.
But I had to let you go so that we can be both free to take our own different paths,
The road that will lead us to succeed,
It's not easy, it's driving me crazy, I need you baby, but you are now gone,
Here I am now crushed, crushed, forever missing you, what am I gonna do?
I cannot bring back the time that has passed, I am just crushed.
You've drifted away and I can't make you stay I am so crushed,
I am soaring up high but falling down at the same time, I am crushed.
Every word of the song is like an arrow that hits you straight in your heart. These words could've been meant for you... or maybe not, but it's too damned precise. It's too much for a coincidence.
"We've often wondered who he wrote the song for. He wouldn't really say. But the lyrics tells it all doesn't it?" Kyoung-Mi asks you.
"I, I guess." You stammered your answer. "Lyrics can sometimes just be formed from a pure idea, your own story or an inspiration from someone else's story."
Kyoung-Mi scowls as she scratched her head. "Hmmm, that's strange because that is exactly what Yoongi answered when he was asked if the lyrics from this song was from his own experience."
You stare at the other lady for a good five seconds before your eyes drift to Yoongi who was about to finish the song. He stands up from the stool he is sitting on before bowing at the dancers who were clapping and whistling as they cheered him on his performance. Even some of the crew who were working took the time to applaud too. He shakes his head as the cheers got louder. He throws a look briefly at your direction, meeting your eyes for a second before he turns his back to talk with the tech people who had taken his mic and the in ear monitor.
Kyoung-Mi was still looking at you and at that moment, you just don't know what to tell her. The words you said came from Yoongi himself when he explained to you how he writes his song lyrics. You're praying that she'd stop asking more questions because you can't give a straight answer right now. Too many things are happening in your head after hearing that song.
"Come on Y/N, take off that jacket of yours before you pass out and we'd have to call the paramedics on you." Kyoung-Mi tells you with a laugh when she sees your face. You're glad she just turned her back and pulled you with her.
