Yoongi reaches your bedroom door, catching his breath after taking the stairs two at a time. Bent over, hands on knees, breathing heavily, he lifts one hand and knocks. 

He can hear you crying. And a little tear develops within his heart, adding to the scars already there. 

He knocks again a little louder and calls, "Baby, let me in. I want to apologize."

Finding it a little easier to breathe now, he stands, leaning on the door frame in the dim hallway as he waits for you to let him in. Could it be that simple? Could love instantly make things right?

You yell from behind the door, "Go away! I don't want to talk to you!"

He insists. "Open the door, and let me talk to you." Why can't love ever be simple? he sighs.

Under his breath, he says, "Please, I love you." These words are not audible through the door. It feels strange to him saying I love you after it has been so long without love.

You cry in anguish, "Please, Yoongi, just leave me alone!" You don't think you can survive having him break you again.

He releases a frustrated sigh, "Please open the door, Poppy." He suddenly jumps back as he hears something hit the door.

You threw your shoe at the door. You hear the plea in his voice, but the hurt is too much. Yet his plea sounds so heartfelt that you go and lean on the door, your heart wanting to be closer to him, but your mind won't let him in.

"I can't take any more hurt from you, Yoongi. I just can't do it, please," you cry. "Just leave me alone."

He steps back to the door and hears you ask, "Why did you . . .  why did you kiss me? Why did you have to do that to me? Why, Yoongi? You don't want me. You made me leave, remember?"

The sound of your brokenness rips into his heart. He sighs, "Because, because I . . ." a few seconds go by and you hear nothing else from him.

Leaning your head on the door, you weakly ask, "Because you what?"

You hear him take a ragged breath as if he had been crying, "Baby girl, please let me in. I want to talk to you privately, not with me out in the hall and you behind a locked door."

He hears the door unlock, and it slowly opens. You cautiously peek around the edge of the door, eyes puffy from crying. In his eyes, you're still the most beautiful woman in the world.

You whisper, "Why Yoongi?"

He gently pushes the door open further so he can enter. You don't stop him as you step back from the door and him.

You keep your head lowered, you can't look at him for fear you will start crying again. You wipe your face with your hand, removing what you hope is the last of the tears you will shed over him.

He says softly as he moves close to you, "I'm so sorry for everything. I didn't know about what you went through. I believed Lill when she told me you were on a photo assignment in Australia."

Surprised, you look up at him. "You asked her about me?" But he hated me. Why would he do that?

He steps even closer to you. "Yes, I did. I was looking everywhere for you. I wanted you back, but no one would tell me anything besides you were on assignment. At first, I thought they were covering for you. Then I thought you hated me by then, and I figured I had completely lost you."

He reaches out to take you in his arms, and you back away, tears slowly falling again, "I . . . I didn't think you cared for me anymore, Yoongi." 

You hang your head and whisper, "I thought you hated me."

He whispers in disgrace, "Hating you was the only way it didn't hurt. I saw you as the reason for our break up, but you never were. It was me."

He goes to reach for you again, gently caressing your upper arms as he pleads, "I know it's a lot to ask, Baby, but can you forgive me? It took you leaving me to realize just how much I needed you. I did and said things I should not have, and I'm so sorry. Trust me when I tell you that I have regretted it every single day."

He takes his thumb and wipes away a tear rolling down your cheek. "All I can do is hope that you can forgive me. Please, Baby. . .  I love you." Telling her 'I love you' never felt more right than it did tonight. His heart rejoices, finally!

You slowly step toward him, and he holds you in his arms, gently kissing the top of your head, thinking how perfectly you fit into his arms and to his body. You meld your body to his, taking in his warmth and scent, not saying a word for fear of shattering this moment.

"I have a confession to make to you," he says, looking down into your eyes as you look up at him. "It took Tae punching me in the jaw to finally knock some sense into me."

Shocked that Taehyung would hit Yoongi, you look at his jaw and gently run your hand over his jawline. "Are you alright?" 

Inwardly you slightly smile, that is so like Taetae, to defend you, or any of your sisters for that matter.

Yoongi pulls you close against him, lowers his head and kisses you possessively. He whispers in a husky voice, "Love me, Poppy, please love me again. I don't want no body else but you."

You put your arms around his neck and kiss him back. Your lips and tongues making love to each other.

Not aware that he was moving you closer to the bed as you were kissing. He sits down and pulls you down beside him.

You look at him, in his eyes you see what he is feeling but can't express in words, and he kisses you as he gently lays you down and pulls your body close to his. He is feeling the warmth of your body causing his to respond, he desperately needs you as you need him.

He has been fighting his need to be close to you, but tonight, he plans on surrendering completely. He has you in his arms and has no plans to let you go.

You whisper in his ear, "I still love you."

In a voice full of desire, he whispers, "So show me," and begins trailing kisses along your neck.

You whisper back, "I'll show you," and you roll on top, kissing him with a passion that you thought you would never share again.

Clothes quickly start disappearing piece by piece, and Yoongi sighs, "My god, I've missed you."

 He rolls you back under him and says, "Today, I can honestly say I'm so glad I'm not a rock."

"But a part of you . . ." you don't finish that thought.

He mumbles, "Mmhm," as he deepens his kisses. You both lose yourselves in the love once thought to be lost forever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside, around the fire pit, the others are discussing what happened. Jin and Namjoon are scolding Tae for punching his hyung.

Trying to break the tension, Jungkook says with an evil bunny grin, "So, who do you think is next to fall?"

They all look around at each other, wondering the same thing.

Namjoon says, "There are only four of us left. We could do rock, paper, scissors."

They all laugh and start a round of rock, paper, scissors.

THE END

 Um, *cough cough* um, but wait there's more . . .
