Eight

                                    

                                          
The next two days to pass had been blissful. They were the last days they had before Yoongi's parents were going to return. Areum just wanted to make the best out of a horrible situation. She just wanted to show that she also cared about him. Regardless of what had happened, she did, deep down, still care for him and want the best for him.
                          
She was going to leave him as soon as she had the chance and report him to the police. She knew she had to do it. She wouldn't be able to sleep every night with herself if she didn't. But a part of her didn't want to. She didn't want to see him rot away behind bars. He was just a messed up kid, he needed help, that was all. 
                          
She felt for kang dae's family and for loosing him when he was still so young and didn't deserve it. He was just unlucky. To get caught up with Areum at the wrong place at the wrong time. He just received the brunt of Yoongi's obsession with Areum. That saddened her a lot.
                          
"Areum" Yoongi knocked on the door
                          
"Come in" she chimed and she heard him unlock the door and come in with a tray
                          
Her face suddenly started to smile. He had a tray of things including two Champaign glasses and some fancy steak meal.
                          
"What is this?" She perked up
                          
"I thought since it's our last two nights in Seoul we could have some sort of special meal. I-I didn't know what you liked so I just made s-some steak and vegetables a-and I got us something to drink" 
                          
He was so nervous that she would throw it back in his face.
                          
Areum watched as he stumbled over his words and his hands trembled slightly. I think this was his first romantic meal with a girl? She thought.
                          
"I thought you said you weren't much of a cook?" She raised her eyebrow at him playfully
                          
"I did a lot of research online to make sure I cooked it right, I really hope it's good. If not we can order pizza or something. I won't be offended if you don't like it" 
                          
Areum wanted to cry. He was being so sweet to her. Why was he being so god damn sweet?!?!? It almost pissed her off how much she wanted to hate him.
                          
"Come on then, let's try it" she smiled brightly reassuring Yoongi it was ok to approach. He placed the tray down on the bed and told her one second as he dragged a small table into the room along with 2 chairs.
                          
Yoongi placed the dishes on the table along with the glasses and cutlery. Yoongi pulled out the chair and gestured her to sit. She smiled and sat down in front of him causing him to turn a shade of red. He pushed her chair in and sat down opposite.
                          
"If I had known that we were going to be having a date I would have put on something nicer than my pyjamas" she chuckled as she took the cutlery into her hands
                          
A date? A date?!?! Yoongi's heart almost skipped out of his chest. She thinks this is a date. He was over joyed he couldn't help but smile ear to ear. This is all he has ever wanted and it was finally happening. 
                          
"You look beautiful regardless. You would look amazing even wearing a garbage bag" he joked causing her to giggle
                          
They started eating and Areum smiled brightly "I-is it good?" He asked nervously
                          
"Amazing Yoongi" 
                          
His face almost hurt from grinning so much by now.
                          
"What no music? What kind of restaurant is this?" She laughed lightly
                          
"Oh, right" he leapt up and grabbed his phone and put on some random smooth jazz playlist from YouTube to play out of his phone. Causing Areum to laugh "this any good?" He gave her a nervous look.
                          
"It's perfect" she smiled
                          
He chuckled a little at the stupidity of it all. So much for his plans for their first date. He was going to take her to the best restaurant with the best live music and spend so much money on her. Instead he was having dinner with her in a bedroom with jazz music coming out of his phone speaker.
                          
"So what are we toasting to?" She smiled looking at the Champaign bottle
                          
"Oh, well I guess our last 2 nights here" he smiled and stood up to pop the bottle. It went off with a bang and he quickly filled the two glasses
                          
"To our last nights" Areum just said simply knowing full well she was never going to go with him to Japan like he was planning. This truly would be there last nights, he was going to be in prison for a long time.
                          
They clinked glasses and Yoongi smiled with his gummy smile.
                          
"I already booked the plane tickets and talked with the landlord for the apartment, but we will sort more out once we get there" he explained and Areum's heart almost broke in half right then and there. She wanted to cry but had to hold herself together. He was so excited, so happy, this meant everything to him and Areum was soon going to rip it all away from him.
                          
She simply smiled at him and took another sip of her drink "so did you like our week together in the end?" She asked him
                          
"Areum" he put his glass down to collect his thoughts "this has been the happiest week of my entire life. Well of course not the what happened in the parking lot at the grocery store" he suddenly felt so terrible for that night "but just spending time with you, has been all I've ever wanted"
                          
"Yoongi" she was about to say something but he cut her off 
                          
"I know you still think I'm a stupid kid, and I mean I am, I know I'm not perfect, I know I need help, I know I have issues, but doesn't everyone? I have so much to work on but honestly, with you by my side I can do anything. I'll be better, I'll do better as long as I have you"
                          
Areum really was on the verge of tears now. How was she going to do this to him? She was going to ruin his life. He would never see her or the light of day again. Why did she feel terrible about what she knew she had to do? Why did it have to be like this? If only he could be normal, come to her when he had graduated high school and had his head screwed on right. She would have really given him a chance in another life.
                          
"Yoongi, you have so much going for you, you really can make it, especially as an artist, that song is evidence of that. Please never give up on yourself, no matter how hard life gets. Promise me you will always push through and work on yourself"
                          
"Of course but we can work on it together-"
                          
"Promise me Yoongi. Promise me you will never give up on yourself and push until you are a better version of yourself" she looked at him as if she was desperate for his answer
                          
He gulped and titled his head side ways in thought "I promise" he nodded his head thinking it was odd. 
                          
He would understand soon.
