“No way!” Gretchen stopped dead in her tracks. Her phone in one hand and her large Caramal Macchiato in the other. “Yoongi can you believe-Yoongi!” She called out to her boyfriend who was still walking ahead as if she hadn’t stopped.
“Yoongi!” He was in the process of taking a sip of his regular cup off coffee when he turned around not to see Gretchen beside him, but instead behind him.
“How’d you get way back there?”
She scoffed, walking up to him. “I was walking beside you, then I saw this.” She held her phone up to his face to show him an Instagram feed. It was a girl kissing an elderly man on the lips as an elderly woman,Yoongi believed to be the mans wife, watched to the side with dismay on her face.
The caption read, “One down. Ten more to go.”
Yoongi looked back at his girlfriend with a look of confusion on his face as she looked at him in disbelief. “Is this supposed to mean something to me...”
“Uh duh, The Divines?” She said.
Yoongi stood there still confused. “Scavenger Hunt?” She said, a little more aggressive, frustrated at the fact that her boyfriend hasn’t been paying attention to anything she’s been telling these past few months.
“Oh my fucking-The Divine Sorority scavenger hunt. My last ticket into joining them. All the pledges were given a list of things to do and find. Whoever gets the most has a better chance at proving they belong in one of the greatest sororities ever created.”
“...By kissing an old man.”
She rolled her eyes, “You wouldn’t understand, you don’t do fraternities and sororities. You hate them.” She walked off, this time leaving Yoongi.
He caught up to her walking into a Spencer’s store. “What are we doing in here?”
Gretchen ignorged him and went straight to the register, Yoongi following behind her. There she saw a girl about the same age as her, reading a book while sitting on a little stool. Gretchen stood there waiting for the girl to acknowledge her presence. She didn’t, she kept reading, overtook with fascination of her book.
Gretchen grew impatient, she rang a little bell that sat on the counter. Yoongi tried to stop her before she could but it was too late.
The girl looked up from her book to see the two.
“Gretchen really?”
“What?”
“You didn’t have to ring the bell, she’s right there.”
“How else was I gonna get her attention?”
“I don’t know maybe say ‘excuse me’,”
“You saw some girls pledging have already obtained certain things off the list. I need to get what I came for and go. This place gives me the creeps.” She grimaced looking around the store filled with most things people considered taboo. She turned back to the sales associate who was now giving the two of them her full attention.
“Excuse me-
“Now she says it.” Yoongi mumbles, Gretchen kicks him slightly
“I’m in a bit of a rush. Where are you adult toys.” Yoongi, who eyes were roaming around the store snatched back to his girlfriend.
“You’re here to get a vibrator?”
“No a dildo.” She turned back to the girl. “Where might they be?”
“All the way in the back to your right.”
Gretchen walks off leaving Yoongi standing there in state of disbelief.
“Is there something I can help you with too?” Yoongi stopped looking at Gretchen and gave his attention back to the sales clerk. “No thank you...” he looked on her name tag. “Y/N? That’s really your name? The actual letter Y and N?”
She looked down at the name tag and giggled staring back up at him, “No. I was supposed to fill my name out when I got hired but never got around to it. So until I get around to is it’s Y/N. To you and me that probably doesn’t mean anything but to right many young girls who come in here it means a lot.”
“Why?”
I shrugged, “I have no idea but they lose their shit.” She sat back on her bar stool and picked her book back up.
“Oh.” He nodded simply. He stared at her, for some reason wanting to know more about her. More specifically her name.”
“So what is your name?”
“_____.” She said simply, still reading her book. That amused Yoongi.
“Yours?”
“Yoongi,
“Okay, here I think I found the right one.” Gretchen said coming back to the desk and slapping the silver dildo on the counter. _____, sat her book down and rang the toy up. “That’ll be $15.25.”
Gretchen handed her a twenty, “Would you like to sign up for our emails to find out about the deals we offer every month?”
“Oh gosh no, I wouldn’t dare be caught in this freak show. Not unless I had a choice, which I didn’t.” She flipper her hair obvious dye job of hair and gave you fake smile.
“Right.” You nodded, you gave her her change and receipt. “Have a good day.”
Gretchen snatched her things and sprinted out the door like a happy bunny. Yoongi looked in the direction she just ran off in, he turned back to you who had already sat back down and was reading again. He chuckled, “Thanks, I’ll see you around?”
“Sure.” You actually looked up at him and gave him a smile.

“Yup, I got it. I actually got it.” Gretchen laughed like a hyena to her friends, she was face timing them, telling them the news of her most recent purchase.
“No way! Show us!” Her right hand, Shellby said getting closer to the camera. Gretchen reaches down into the bag and showed the sliver object. As Yoongi knew they would a roar of laughter sounded throughout the car.
It irritated him to no avail, Gretchen and her annoying friends always annoy him, but today it was excruciatingly annoying.
“Gretchen!” The car got quiet quick. “Please, I am getting a migrane. Tell your friends you’ll call them back later.”
Gretchen looked at Yoongi weirdly, but did as she was told. “I’ll guys back later.” She hung up the phone. “What’s with you?”
Yoongi gripped the wheel, “Nothing is wrong with me.”
“Yeah there is. The he stick up your butt is poking through the seat, I can see it in the back seat.”
Yoongi remained quiet.
Gretchen scoffed, “Fine don’t tell me meanie.” She pulled her phone out.
Yoongi put all his attention back on the road until he saw a flash. Yoongi looked over to see Gretchen had taken a picture of her self and was now uploading it to Instagram.
“What’s a good caption for this?” Gretchen giggles. “Ooooo I know. What do dildos and tofu have in commo? Their both meat substitutes.”
Yoongi shook his head and turned back to the road only to see a deer had hopped onto the road. Yoongi immediately slammed on breaks. Gretchen’s phone and the toy flew from her hand and into the dashboard as the car came to a heaving halt.
“What the hell, Yoongi!”
“I’m sorry, are you okay.” He unhooked his seatbelt to check her for any bruises. She smacked his hands away.
“Don’t touch me! You did that on purpose!”
“I did not. There’s was a deer in the road and I didn’t want to hit.”
“Oh so a deer’s life is more important than mine?”
“What-no- that’s not what I meant. I didn’t wanna-
“Whatever just take me to my mom’s.” She flipped her hand and went back to her phone.
“I thought you were going to your dad’s?”
“I was, but now I want to go to my moms so take me to my moms!” She yelled the last part.
“Okay fine! I’m take you to your mom’s.” Yoongi put his seat belt back on. “Could you get your friend off my dashboard?

When Yoongi got home he texted Gretchen to check on her. He knows she came be a little sensitive and over dramatic to somethings, it’s just how she is. She told him she was fine, and apologized for the way she reacted. She would have done the same as well. Yoongi being the worrisome person that he was kept asking to make sure and letting her know not to spare his feelings, and tell him if she isn’t okay.
To shut him up she sent a small video of herself just getting out the shower and saying she was about to lay down and go to sleep. “I love you.” She blew him a kiss.
When she wanted to be Gretchen can be really sweet. Yoongi tries not to upset her too much, she’s been through a lot. Her parents went through a real bad divorce, Yoongi means REAL bad. Gretchen’s never specified what exactly happened, but she did tell Yoongi her dad ended up in prison for a few years.
Yoongi watched her video and again before locking his phone and getting back to his show. For once Yoongi’s apartment was quiet. All of his roommates were out , which left Yoongi with some peace and quiet for a few hours. He didn’t have to hear Jin banging pots and pans in the kitchen. He didn’t have to hear Jungkook and Tae in Jungkook’s room yelling at a stupid game, and most certainly didn’t have to hear Jimin’s loud music.
The show was finally getting good until his phone rang. He looked down to see Taehyung’s face pop across his screen. His young friends wants to FaceTime hime. Probably to show him a cloud passing by.
Yoongi answered, “Yes Tae?”
Taehyung was staring back and Yoongi not saying anything. When Yoongi noticed this he looked back at his phone. “Tae, what is it?”
“I can’t do this.” Tae said disappearing from view. “Taehyung- hey hyung.” Jimin’s face appeared
Yoongi waved. “Whats going on? And why does Tae look like he’s ready to cry? Did he drop his ice cream again?
“No, we didn’t get ice cram. We’re at a buddy’s of mine.”
“Okay? What you need me to pick you up?”
“No, we’re not calling for us. Umm,” Jimin scratched his head. “We’re calling for you.”
“What are you ta-
“Hyung, Gretchen’s cheating on you!” Taehyung came back into view.
“Now you grow some balls?” Jimin scowled his younger friend.
“Alright, I’m hanging up.” Yoongi shook his.
“Hyung, wait no-“ Jimin started.
“No, I’m hanging up. It’s one thing not to like Gretchen because for whatever reason you may have, but I at least thought you guys would have grown up just a little bit for my sake.”
None of them like Gretchen and Gretchen can’t stand them, okay that’s fine. Yoongi wasn’t gonna force anybody to like one another, however he still expected them to respect each other and be civil.
“Hyung we’re not trying to hurt you. It’s what we know.” Taehyung exclaimed. “My buddy Mateo called me over to check out his new game and when we got over here he apologized for his girlfriend’s thing being everywhere. We wer
“Jimin and I sat down, I ended up sitting on Matt’s phone by accident causing the phone to wake up. Matt’s Home Screen was a colleague of him and Gretchen kissing and cuddling.”
“That could have been-
Just in Yoongi received a message from Jimin. It was a picture of their friend, Mateo, Home Screen. There sitting beside Mateo was Gretchen kissing, hugging, and breaking Yoongi’s heart.
“Jimin took a picture of it Hyung. I’m sorry.”
“...she’s supposed to be at her moms. I dropped her off at her mom’s! She just sent to a video of herself at her mom’s.
“Hyung you’ve been dropping her off at Mateo’s house, not her mom’s.”
It was painfully beginning to make since now. Anytime Yoongi made her mad she’d always have him take her to her “mother’s” house. This entire time he’s been dropping her off at the other man’s house.”
“Does your friend Mat, know?”
“No. I asked how long he and his girl been together he said five years.”
Yoongi chuckled harshly, “So I’m the mistess.”
Yoongi and Gretchen have been together for a year.“Okay, I’m thank you guys for telling me this. See you later.”
Yoongi heard the guys protest at him hanging up. Yoongi isn’t made his friends. He just doesn’t want them in the line of fire.
He sat up completely and began to text Gretchen.
H
Yoongi: Hey babe, you love me right?
Love bug: of course I do Yoongi lol
Yoongi:Like no matter what you’ll love me right?
Love bug: yes Yoongi. What did you do?
Yoongi: No matter what right?
Lovebug: oh my gosh Yoongi what did you do? I’m on the phone with Shelby. We’re trying to figure out our next moves for the scavenger hunt.
Yoongi: I’m just trying to see if you really love me.
Lovebug: I said that I do. What do I have to do? Paint a picture?
Yoongi: No but you took a picture proving that you don’t love me.
Lovebug: What?
Yoongi: *1 Attachment*
Yoongi: I guess technically since you’ve been with him longer you’re proving that you don’t love him.
Lovebug: where’d you get that
Yoongi: It doesn’t matter. What matters is we’re done. I can’t believe you Gretchen. Five year! You’ve been with this man for five years! I’ve been dropping you off at his place thinking it’s your mother’s house. Are your parents even divorced?
Lovebug: Yoongi I can explain all of this. Let me come over we’ll talk.
Yoongi: they’re still together aren’t they?

Lovebug: Yoongi please!
Yoongi: Gretchen I loved you.
Lovebug: I love you too Yoongi
Yoongi: Ha! No you don’t! You couldn’t have loved me. You don’t hurt the one you love.
She sent a picture of crying.
Lovebug: Yoongi this is eating me up! Please please please, let’s just talk.
Lovebug: Yoongi please!
Lovebug: Yoongi?
Lovebug: Did you tell Mateo!!
Yoongi: What?
Lovebug: Mateo just came in and screamed at me! He’s making me get my things and leave. You had no right to tell him.
Yoongi: I didn’t tell your boyfriend anything. I don’t even have his number.
Lovebug: How’d he found out then!!
Yoongi: maybe because you’re a lying piece of shit.
Lovebug: This isn’t funny Yoongi. Text him back and tell him it was joke!
Yoongi: Are you serious right now??!?!? You want me to lie for you, but not just any lie. You want me to lie to the man that you’ve been cheating on me with about how you haven’t been cheating on him with me for the past year. Yeah okay, what’s the number?
Lovebug: This isn’t funny Yoongi!
Yoongi: I’m not laughing.
Yoongi: I’ve taken so much of your shit Gretchen. SO. FUCKING. MUCH! I’ve defended you when my friends talk down about you. I’ve always supported you, no matter what it is I’ve always been there to support you. I did everything I could to make you happy and it still wasn’t enough. Lose every form of contact information that you have of mine. We’re done.
