The night was a blur for both Yoongi and Y/N. Yoongi stayed up, unable to sleep, his mind racing with thoughts about what had happened. He had never expected to be the one to comfort Y/N, but seeing her so vulnerable had stirred something within him—an unfamiliar feeling of empathy and connection.

Y/N, on the other hand, was emotionally drained. The betrayal she had felt from Seokjin, combined with the unexpected comfort from Yoongi, had left her feeling both relieved and confused. She eventually fell into a fitful sleep on the couch, exhausted from the emotional upheaval of the evening.

The next morning, Yoongi quietly prepared breakfast, his movements subdued. He wanted to give Y/N space, but he also wanted to be there for her in any way he could. As he set the table, he wondered how to approach the situation. Should he bring up the events of the previous night, or let her take the lead?

Y/N woke up to the smell of cooking, her mind still foggy from lack of sleep. She found herself on the couch, and as she sat up, she realized that she had fallen asleep there in Yoongi's arms. The memory of the previous night came rushing back, and she felt a pang of embarrassment and gratitude.

When she made her way to the kitchen, she found Yoongi at the table, setting out breakfast. He looked up when she entered, and their eyes met briefly before Y/N looked away, feeling self-conscious.

"Morning," Yoongi said, his tone gentle.

"Morning," Y/N replied, her voice soft. She took a seat at the table, her mind still trying to process everything that had happened.

Yoongi placed a plate of food in front of her, and they sat in silence, eating. The atmosphere was more relaxed than it had been in weeks, the tension between them somewhat eased by the events of the previous night.

As they finished breakfast, Yoongi decided to broach the subject, though he treaded carefully. "How are you feeling?" he asked, looking at Y/N with concern.

Y/N paused, considering her response. "I'm... okay, I guess. Still trying to process everything." She sighed, her gaze falling to her lap. "I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I thought I could handle it, but it's been harder than I thought."

Yoongi nodded, understanding the weight of her words. "It's okay to feel that way. What Seokjin did... it's not your fault. You didn't deserve that."

Y/N looked up, meeting Yoongi's gaze. "Thank you. I didn't expect you to be so... understanding."

Yoongi shrugged, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. "I guess we've both been dealing with our own struggles. It's hard to be indifferent when someone is hurting."

The conversation was a small step forward, a sign that they were beginning to see each other in a new light. The wall that had once separated them was still there, but it felt a little less impenetrable.

Later that day, Y/N found herself reflecting on the night's events. She had spent so long focusing on her own pain and the flaws in her relationship with Yoongi that she hadn't realized how much he had been dealing with his own challenges. It was clear that he was more than just a reluctant husband—he was someone capable of kindness and understanding, even if he wasn't always good at expressing it.

That afternoon, Yoongi and Y/N spent time together in the living room, engaging in small talk and trying to find common ground. They discussed their interests and hobbies, each of them surprised to discover that they had more in common than they had initially thought.

As the evening approached, Y/N felt a renewed sense of hope. She knew that healing from the betrayal would take time, but for the first time, she felt like she wasn't facing it alone. Yoongi's presence and support had made a difference, and she was beginning to see him in a new light.

Yoongi, too, found himself reflecting on the night's events. He had never expected to be in this position, but he couldn't deny that he felt a growing sense of connection with Y/N. Her vulnerability and honesty had touched him, and he was starting to see the person behind the walls she had built.

As they spent more time together, the small moments of understanding and support began to add up. They started to share more of their lives with each other, finding comfort in their newfound camaraderie. It wasn't a perfect solution, but it was a start.

In the days that followed, Yoongi and Y/N continued to navigate their relationship with a renewed sense of openness. They knew that there was still a long way to go, but they were both willing to try. The cracks in their armor were becoming more evident, and while they still had their differences, they were beginning to find common ground.

The journey ahead was uncertain, but for now, they were content to take it one step at a time. The walls between them were slowly coming down, and with each passing day, they were discovering that maybe, just maybe, there was more to their relationship than either of them had anticipated.
