To say that I was surprised wasn't actually true. I knew what Hanyu was capable of, despite being a well-known and respected public figure in his country. But, I expected more from him. Even so, what's done is done and now, we had to deal with the aftermath of what he did. Whether what (Y/N) told me was the actual truth or not, I'll have to do a bit of digging myself before I can actually reason with Kun. I was thinking about whether or not I should bring (Y/N) back and just explain with Kun altogether until (Y/N) snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Jun-ge...are, are you ok?" (Y/N) questioned
"Hmm? Yea, I'm fine. Don't worry about me" I reassured her
"I, I know this might come a lot from me but like, since I told you what I know, do you think I can possibly go out and meet up with (F/N)?" (Y/N) stuttered, fiddling with her thumbs, clearly avoiding my gaze
"You want to go out and meet (F/N)?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow
"You're right. It's a bit too much. I should be grateful that you brought me to your private house and went through all the trouble to get me away from Kun" (Y/N) mumbled
"I was just asking (Y/N). I'm not threatening you or anything. I just said that you shouldn't go out. But I never said that you can't go out with me" I replied as (Y/N) started to lift her head
"Do, do you mean that, that I can..." (Y/N) blurted
"Yes, you can go out to meet (F/N). In fact, I've already arranged it. Unfortunately, I can't really get you to meet her for a whole day but I did manage to reason with Nongnong. Saying that you should at least get to say goodbye before heading off for your final competition of the season. We'll meet them later in the day" I explained
"B-but, wouldn't Nongnong have the intention of taking me? Or even having the others standby?" (Y/N) mumbled
"I've figured on that as well. So, I have a few conditions. You can't contact anyone or even use your phone. You can't leave my side except when either of us needs to use the restroom to which I'll wait for you right outside and if I go, you go as well. And also, don't mention anything about this to your friend. Otherwise, Kun will be the least of our worry. And don't worry about the other guys. They're my responsibility since I was the one that took you away" I ranted, finishing my tea and quickly eating up the bread
"Jun-ge..." (Y/N) whispered
"Whatever happens, I'm not going down without a fight, kay? I won't let them get to you that easily" I reassured her
"Jun-ge. I...thank you, for going through all this trouble, when we barely know each other. I...just promise me one thing?" (Y/N) mentioned, finally looking straight back at me
"What is it?" I asked, tilting my head
"Promise me that whatever happens to me, my family and friends won't be involved" (Y/N) requested
"However twisted you might think we are, I ensure you that none of us would want to harm anyone we care for. It's a rule we all go by. So yea, no matter how crazy you think Kun is. He wouldn't go that far. Your family/friends are safe" I convinced her
"Anyone we care for...but, that doesn't really include any of you, does it" (Y/N) muttered
"(Y/N)...you know that..." I reasoned
"I know, I know. It's crazy because you guys are part of this thing. But it shouldn't be this way. You guys are brothers. Even if throughout your debut time, you didn't really spend a lot of time together but you guys are close. I, I just can't stand to see you guys fighting each other or even thinking that you might split up because of me. Please, Jun-ge, promise me if worse comes to worst, you let me go. Don't fight with them. I know that you'll try to reason with them and I'm sure that you'll find another way out but if it really comes down to it. If the choice comes between my safety and yours. Save yourself" (Y/N) blankly said, looking at me dead straight
Afterwards, I knew that (Y/N) wouldn't really go without getting any form of answer from me so I just nodded at her, reassuring her that it wouldn't come that far but if it does then, I'll make the choice. I then nudge her to shower which she did and I placed some clothes she could wear on the bed. Even if I reassured her and myself that it may not come down that far, deep down, I knew the chances are there. I knew that it was only a matter of time before Kun get that information out; not caring if (Y/N) had to leave the country very soon. Truth is, I was only delaying the inevitable. Not to mention that with this piece of information, Kun definitely hit the jackpot and can give Hanyu a taste of his own medicine.
Dammit. Why do people like her have to be caught up in this twisted mess. Why can't it already be the twisted ones?! I was so immersed in my own frustration and annoyance that I didn't realise (Y/N) was done and even came out of the room. It wasn't until she poked my back that I was snapped back to reality. To the point that I forgot that (Y/N) was just with me a few minutes ago and my instinct nearly got the best of me; meaning, I nearly grabbed her by the neck which was almost what I do whenever I feel like I was being threatened.
Fortunately, as I turned around to face (Y/N), I hid my hands behind my back as she told me that the shower was free and that she'll be waiting for me in the living room. I gave her a slight nod and told her she could watch anything whilst she waits for me. I then excused myself to my room, grabbed the essentials and went to take a "quick" shower, once again, letting the water try its best to wash away my problems.

"This girl....she's so much like her. God, just this once, please, don't take her away from us. Even if she's not meant to be with us. I, I don't think I can handle another one like what happened" I sighed, looking back at the sink as I finished my shower and have gotten ready
A/N: hello everyone!! I hope you're doing well!! Hopefully, some of you have already been vaccinated as well. Wherever you are, I wished you and your family all to be safe and healthy. Until the next chapter :) xoxo Vinet
