"Sometimes you don't need to know someone's backstory to understand their pain.

It's a Universal Language,

Just like love.

 

Unspoken but not unseen"

 

 

 

A few weeks had passed since the heart wrenching incident by the beach. In those weeks Jin Ae slowly learnt about Yoongi's breakdown. It wasn't the first time Yoongi had a break down, but it was the first one in a while. The members and managers were also well aware of Yoongi's breakdowns and that's the reason Yoongi easily crept his way out from the members badger. 

Hoseok was the one who unfolded Yoongi's history of breakdowns to Jin Ae. He knew Yoongi would murder him the moment he would come to know about this but he felt Jin Ae was worth the risk, because she was the very reason why Yoongi, the person who was lazy to even breath used to walk all the way to the cafe every night to grab a cup of coffee and maybe, just maybe she was the reason he loved coffee so much.

Hoseok one day had visited Jin Ae in her cafe, wanting to thank her properly for helping him find Yoongi. Hoseok then explained a possible reason for Yoongi's break down the other.

 

"Yeah, the thing is..." - Hoseok hesitated.

"Yoongi hyung, even though seems like a stubborn, high on attitude kinda , he is actually one of the most selfless person I have ever met in my life. A person willing to give up on his happiness for someone else. He can give you his world if you make a way into his heart. A person who just acts like he doesn't care but is a total baby on the inside--"

"A lazy baby" - Hoseok rolled his eyes, maybe remembering some annoying memory of Yoongi.

 

Jin Ae chuckled listening to the accurate analysis of her friend.

 

"So, 3 years back just before Yoongi hyung moved into the dorms he lost his best friend."

The smile on Jin Ae's face instantly disappeared.

 

"His friend committed suicide by drowning himself in the sea. You see Yoongi hyung and his best friend were the epitome for friendship. They defined the meaning for true friendship. Always together... no.... always there for each other. Hyung's friend was an orphan, worked several part times to just survive with one meal everyday and pay half the rent for his so called 'home'. Yoongi hyung used to pay the other half. They were roommates. Yoongi hyung moved out of his house during his mid teen years. He said he couldn't deal with his parents because they wanted him to become something he didn't want to. Moving forward in time, maybe after a year of staying with his friend, hyung realized there was something his friend didn't want him to know about. Hyung always asked him if there was something that was troubling him but his friend always brushed it off saying he was just stressed out trying to make a living. There were times when his friend returned home with cuts and bruises covering his whole body. Even then he would come up with some lame excuse telling hyung that some drunk man was throwing a fit in the local restaurant he worked in. Hyung had enough of watching his friend suffer so he followed him one day and was shocked to his friend fallen down on the floor like a dead body getting kicked to death.

Loan sharks.

It seems that his friend's parent had a huge debt to be paid before they passed away in a freak accident.

Yoongi hyung and his friend cried the whole night that day, cursing the damn world and their fate.

His friend then promised Yoongi hyung that he wouldn't hide anything again and would work his off to pay back the people he owed to but little did he know that Yoongi hyung had also pledged himself to work his off and help his friend out.

So Yoongi hyung started producing music and writing songs, at that time he didn't make music because he liked it he made it because it was the sole way to survive. The only thing that could earn him some money.

But they had a damned fate, he was scammed a lot, water poured all over his hard work. But he kept working, pitching in anywhere and everywhere which would get him some money until he finally earned enough to pay half of his friend's depth.

For the past few months the two of them didn't get to talk much as they would be working so hard to earn money that by the time they got home they would be dead tried.

Yoongi hyung never told his friend about his extra jobs to earn money because he wanted to surprise him.

So Yoongi hyung holds the envelop filled with the money he earned for his best friend. He walks back home only to find a note kept on the table which was the only furniture present in the house.

A suicide note. His friend had reached his limit, he didn't want hyung to suffer with him. He thought hyung was better without him.

By the time Yoongi hyung finished the last sentence he got the call.

His friends body was found by fisher men floating in the sea.

There was no funeral held, they only had each other so there was no pointing in holding a funeral.

Yoongi hyung got recruited here a week after that incident.

He was cold to everyone. Scared of loving anyone, because it only brought pain and he had suffered deeply that it scarred him for life. But scars heal, even though they leave their imprint as a reminder about the struggles, they heal. It took a while for hyung to learn to have faith in things again, to love again even if it wasn't like the last time, it was better than nothing. He slowly opened up to us and the more we got to know about his story the more our love for him grew."

 

Jin Ae was left speechless by the time Hoseok completed talking. There was so much she didn't know about Yoongi but with everything new she learned about Yoongi, the way she thought about him completely changed.

 

Hoseok clearing his throat bought Jin Ae's attention back.

"So Yoongi Hyung usually has breakdown while thinking about losing something important in his lif

Chapter 31: Jeo Sung is so shady and always give me wrong impression most of the time. For an odd reason, I am seeing him in inhuman way like he is dangerous to be around her and he's using her for her own benefit. Jeosung is a complicated character tbh.

Chapter 31: * stares at all the new twists and turns with wide open eyes O_o*

Hmm...one thing for sure, Jeo Seung is definitely not a MORTAL!
All the ghosts bow down to him?
Who is he or What is he??? @_@

I feel so bad for Jin Ae. She had a really terrible day. Although I don't totally trust Jeo Seung with her, I'm glad he was there for her at the end and that she let out all her emotions with him. I hope she feels better with time.

And whatever Jeo Seung said about the miracles, blessings and curses in disguise, he seemed to have a point in that.
But what did he mean when he said that he was with her since her father's death and will be, till her last breath?....it gives a shivering feeling to me.
Does he mean to be some guardian to watch her over..?

But again! Than he also warned her NOT to trust him or his words!
What is he exactly playing at.... @_@

And this new addition Keres! She seems like a intriguing character! She may feel like a kid, but does posses darkness. What does she want to possess Jin Ae's soul??
That too she called him brother and also spoke his uncertain death?
Now Jeo Seung's life is on the line??

Wow! This chapter has definitely plunged me into questions!! But I'm surely enjoying it! ^^
I like how you are showing more and more of Jeo Seung's character, but in a steady manner.
Also, the whole mention of miracles, devils and ghosts seem to really set the story in a good supernatural set! :D Well done!
THANKS A LOT FOR THE UPDATE AUTHOR-NIM!^_^
ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE LEFT ME WITH MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS I AM REALLY DIGGING FOR MORE! XD



I know the past couple of days have really been difficult for us...
It was a really unfortunate incident to occur and as you said, those particular words have certainly left a different imprint on our hearts.
Stay strong author-nim! And don't worry about the story. Take your time to get back in the form.

Chapter 31: Writing has been difficult for me this past week as well. SHINee was one of my first kpop groups because of the Boys Over Flowers ost and that drama had been my second kdrama. The group meant a lot to me. I'm not a huge fan of SM as a company but the artists under them were all my favorites so Jonghyun's passing has thrown me off balance for a lack of a better term. But I'm slowly feeling myself get back to normal, especially because I've been spending time with loved ones. I really loved this chapter especially because we learn more about Jeo Seung and the little girl who we now know is Keres. This is putting me on the edge of my seat!

U wrote the emotional paet so well. Kudos to you :')

Chapter 30: NOOO!!!NAMJOON!!!!
Get a grip on your thoughts!
Damn! He has given rise to so many MISUNDERSTANDINGS!!

Seriously, this was the most angst and dramatic chapter ever! Strangely....I like it..:P....

But it was heart-wrenching to see all of them getting hurt thought! T^T
Silly Namjoon! He has no idea about Jin Ae's and Yoongi's world, but instead comes up with such theories....even when she told him the truth...I was expecting him to blow-over like that!
Feel really bad for his heart though...he seems so ignorant of the truth and so broken now...
(I was clutching my hair at his assumptions>_<)

And poor Jin Ae, as if her life was not already messed up, now has to deal with these new chaos!
His words sure did seem like bullets ripping her apart from the inside...
And he didn't even here her confession!

While Yoongi is like always! Trying to hush his pain out even if he is dying from the inside in doing so.>_<
Although I'm glad he didn't say anything harsh to Namjoon in anger! He seemed to handle the situation well...
I hope things will turn around for him.....

And last but not the least..Jeo Seung has appeared! Wonder what he is up to with the other guy....:/

The feels of this chapter really got me though!! O_o
You really topped the drama author-nim!! Good Job! ^_^
I seriously would love such more drama from you....But right now, I so want the things to clear up between them!!
(But I'm ready for drama....:P)

Thanks for the update!!<3
