Anonymous said toĀ kpopgroupsreact: can you write a sequel for the bts reaction about seeing their ex-gf with someone? i might have shed a few tears and need some more emotional drama to read :))))(((((
This was requested TWICE, plus mentioned in the comments (yes I do make sure to read the comments!) so I felt it was only fair to write up a part 2!

It had only been a few minutes since he had spotted you at the statue with another guy. The smile you gave the man was still flashing in his mind like a broken projector image, despite your back being turned as you faced away. How long had it been since you had smiled at him like that? It was months ago, yet it felt even longer.
He missed you. He missed being the one to pick you up at the statue, he missed being the one to receive your smiles, and even more so he missed being the reason behind them.
What he didn't know at this moment was that the guy you had greeted with a smile was actually your cousin visiting you. You had invited him to the easiest landmark you could have thought of, and it had been the statue you used to set as a meeting place for your dates with Namjoon. The place was still special to you, and all the good memories it led to.
That was me not too long ago...
He didn't know when he had pulled over to the side of the road. All he could do was watch you enter the cafe with the other man. He watched as the guy opened the door for you, his hands tightened on his steering wheel as he watched you two walk into the building. There were far too many emotions he was trying to process.
Anger. Frustration. Regret. Jealousy.
Before he could calm down he was already out of the car and racing towards the cafe. He stopped in front of the windows, looking in. He watched as you were ordering what you always ordered. He didn't even need to see you pointing to the menu. He knew what you would order. It's what you always ordered. The rose and honey latte you loved so much.
Although he didn't know you were just out with a colleague, the way the other man was making you smile and how at ease you appeared was making his head spin. You hadn't chosen this place, but it was the closest to where the two of you worked and you found it hard to refuse. Besides, it was just a few moments of discussing the assignment you two were working on together. You could manage a few moments in this place, couldn't you?
Was I that easy to forget?
He had left the food untouched on the table and he couldn't focus. He couldn't wrap his head around what he had just seen. He sat motionless, staring at the doorway before he willed his body to move. Letting his instincts lead him out the door, past the staff and through the hallways trying to catch a glimpse of you again. He stopped at the corner, peering over the edge when he heard your laughter. You were smiling so brightly, your laughter resonating through the hall and in his chest. His throat felt dry and his chest tightened as he saw your interactions with the man beside you.
For you, however, this was simply work. You were being kind to the new co-MC for the music show and helping relieve his nerves by being as encouraging and optimistic as you could. It was hard for you to be okay on your own so this distraction was something you needed as well.
Can't she even see me anymore?
He hated seeing you so focused on someone else. He was up on this stage and as much as he regretted stepping on it he dreaded stepping off it even more. If things had been like before he would be able to share this happy moment with you after the ceremony. But instead of happiness, he was feeling bitter. He wanted to take the mic and confess how much he missed you. But he couldn't and he hated it. He hated it all so much. He felt so helpless, so hopeless it was like the cheering had deafened him and his heart to silence. All he could feel was the numbness creeping over him. If people could see his heart right now it would be so damaged that the tears that slipped out wouldnāt be mistaken for tears of joy like they were at the moment.
You were still talking with the guy seated near you, but it was simply to ask for the earring that had fallen off and rolled underneath his chair. You had wanted to be discreet about it so as not to draw attention away from the award acceptance speech, but it appeared as if you two were sharing a special moment while whispering together.
The broken bracelet left an imprint in his hand as he eased it out of the fist he had made. He had squeezed it so hard, his skin was red and stung slightly as he traced the imprint and the bracelet. But it stung a lot less than his heart or the tears threatening to spill from the corners of his eyes. He shut them tightly and shook his head to clear his thoughts before looking over his shoulder. He could still hear your laughter, although it was faint and distant. Just how you were now. So distant from him. His chest ached and he managed only a few steps towards his waiting room before he leaned against the wall, sliding to the ground and staring at the bracelet dangling from his fingers. It had been his first gift to you, and the memories that it brought back were suffocating him.
But he didn't know that the man was just a manager. That the bracelet hadn't been discarded carelessly but had broken and you hadn't noticed yet. If you had, you would have been desperately looking for it because you had kept wearing it despite everything. Because despite everything your memories with him and the bracelet meant everything to you.
Was I that easy to replace?
His heart felt incredibly heavy in his chest and his eyes could no longer blink away the tears. He found himself walking past the corner convenience store and towards the park at the back of the building. He settled down into one of the swings, his broken voice as he called out your name was the only sound followed by his soft cries in the still night air.
However, you had been dropped off by a colleague's associate because your manager had to run back to the office to turn in some papers. You had been as polite as you could, continuously thanking the kind man for offering to drive you back home despite it being so late before heading back to his girlfriend. During the car ride his call to his girlfriend had given you nostalgia because it reminded you of how Taehyung would call you, either to make sure you were getting home safely when you were heading back on your own or to ask you out for the secret meetings consisting of ice cream and swinging at the park behind your building.
He looked away from the guy blocking his view of you but he couldn't help peeking every now and then. You were smiling, listening to him intently as he spoke to you. You handed over something to him and the guy gave a happy jump and waved as he walked away a few moments later. He watched your eyes linger, a warm smile on your face. It was one you often had when you were around him and he wondered what the other man had said to make you smile in such a way he thought only he could.
You had turned at the sound of your name, although you could have sworn you heard it twice. Once softly, and a second time far louder. You had turned just in time to see a fellow labelmate walk up to you to ask if you had an extra company banner to wave because his group was one short. You handed him yours and said it was alright for him to take it. It was just like you to be selfless, and despite not having any extras around you didn't hesitate to give yours up so that a friend would be happy. It was something Jungkook used to tease you about often, but behind the teasing, there was a fondness in his voice that always left you with an even warmer feeling than the actual selfless act itself.
