Yoongi's 1st Person POV

"Are you excited about Taehyung coming back from his business trip tomorrow?" I hear Bridgette asking Y/N while they are sitting in the break room. I had just walked in to refill my cup with some much needed coffee. Y/N has her back turned to the entrance of the breakroom so she's not aware that I entered the room.

Ever since I found out about her and Taehyung being together about three months ago, Y/N tries not to bring him up around me. Actually, anytime we speak, it's only been strictly business. She's made it clear that she wants our relationship to stay professional. I respect that, but it's difficult when I still harbor feelings for her.

"I am so exited for him to get back home tomorrow night from Paris! I know it's been only a week and I miss him. He keeps messaging me and whenever he calls, he tells me he can't wait to come home. I tease him that he's lying because he's in a gorgeous city. But, I'm glad he's eager to come home." Y/N sounds so happy in the way she speaks about Taehyung coming back. And, honestly? The elation in her voice hurts to hear, because it's clear to me that she's moved on completely.

I head out of the breakroom after getting my refill and head back to my office. As soon as I sit down in my desk chair, I slump down, feeling disappointed by everything having to do with Y/N and how the two of us are now.

I still loved Y/N when I suggested ending our relationship back when I moved to another state for a job. Even before that move, she and I were constantly busy that we never had time to put aside for each other and it caused us to drift apart. I just hated disappointing her every time I couldn't follow through with a date night or not being able to come over to her place to spend the night because I had to focus on my job.

After we broke up, I regretted suggesting such a thing because I realized how much I really valued her in my life. But, there was not much I could do, given the fact that I was leaving for another state. She accepted the break up and we just let it be.

Fast-forward to this year. I came back here to New York, hoping that I could meet up with Y/N to at least start up a friendship. When I found out that we would be working at the same company, I thought the stars were aligning. I really thought I would have my opportunity to have her back into my life, one way or another. Ultimately, I wanted to be with her again, as a couple.

When I found out she was in a relationship, I was surprised but not completely shocked. Y/N is amazing and I could understand her winning any man's heart. But, I wasn't discouraged. Not knowing who it was at the time, I just thought that maybe that relationship wouldn't work out eventually, and then I could shoot my shot and remind her how good we were together.

Seeing Taehyung in our company building's lobby about three months ago, I knew without a doubt that he was here for Y/N. But, I just assumed they were just how they've always been- friends. Then, Y/N introduced Taehyung to Bridgette as her boyfriend, and Taehyung further confirmed it when I asked for clarification, like an idiot.

Of course Y/N would end up with Taehyung. And, now that I think about it, my chances of getting back together with Y/N have become slimmer. Those two have been friends since they were kids. Even I knew, when she and I started dating, that her friendship and bond with Taehyung is like no other. I wasn't jealous or opposed their friendship when I was in a relationship with Y/N. I was content with the fact that she had close friends like him and Jimin.

I am jealous of Taehyung now. I can't lie about that. I want to be happy for Y/N because I know that she's with someone who does worship and respect her just as much as I would.

But, as I said before, I still love Y/N. And, I regret ever thinking that breaking up with her was the best decision.

It wasn't.

I miss her.

Y/N's 1st Person POV

"Alright, babe. It's getting late where you're at and I don't want to keep you up since you have work in the morning. It's already 11:30pm for you." Taehyung speaks in a raspy voice on the phone. He had just woken up around 5am, Paris time, because he wanted to hear my voice before I fell asleep.

"I know, but you know I would sacrifice sleep for you," I honestly tell my boyfriend.

"I would do the same. That's why I woke up so early to talk to you. But, I need you to get some rest so you'll have plenty of energy tomorrow night when I'm back home." I could hear the playfulness in his voice.

"Oh, you want me to be energized tomorrow night? Why is that, Tae?" I teasingly ask him.

"Oh, you very well know why I want you full of energy tomorrow night. But, anyway, I need to nap a little more and then finish packing before I head to the airport. I'm so ready to see you, babe." He croons out and his voice just soothes me.

"I can't wait, Tae. I'm so ready for you." I tell him as I imagine seeing him in the airport tomorrow. I want this man back!

"I love you, Y/N," he softly says to me.

"I love you, Tae. I'll see you soon."

"I can't wait, babe."

It's a little past midnight. I'm still awake because I got sucked into watching another episode of Bridgerton. I told myself I was only going to watch the last twenty minutes of the last episode I needed to finish, but I couldn't help but watch the following episode.

As I'm watching the drama unfold in the show, I hear loud knocks at my door.

I get up, assuming it's some neighbor in the apartment building. It couldn't be anyone else, because any outside visitors would have to buzz in before I let them enter the building. Maybe it's Mrs. Kozlowski or someone that needs my help, but it's so late.

When I look through the peephole, I sigh out.

It's Yoongi.

What is he doing here in the middle of the night?

I reluctantly open the door for my ex-boyfriend/boss.

"Yoongi, what are you doing here?" I say, with clear exasperation in my voice. My arms are crossed as I stand there staring at the drunken man.

"I was just at a bar nearby and I thought I'd stop by," Yoongi says, slightly slurring his words.

"Why, Yoongi?" I simply question him, frustrated with his unannounced visit.

"I missed you," he drawls out as he slumps against the side of the doorway.

"Yoongi, you're drunk and as my boss, I feel like you showing up here is inappropriate." I try to reason with an inebriated Yoongi.

"I want to be happy for you but I want to be the one you're with." The man admits as he tries to gaze at me in his state.

"Yoongi, please stop. We work together now. Please don't say anything more or else I don't think I would be comfortable working with you moving forward." I plead with him. I love my job and I thought we were doing great keeping it strictly business between us. I thought he had moved on like I did.

"I'm sorry. Fuck, I'm sorry. I'm going to go." I can see the regret in Yoongi's eyes. He pushes himself off the side of the doorway and starts walking away.

"Are you going to be okay going home?" Although I want him to leave, I'm worried he's not safe to travel back home.

"Don't worry about me Y/N. I'm not nearly that drunk. I can get a ride back." He waves me off as he heads to the elevator. A couple minutes later, he disappears behind the elevator doors.
