We're just Friends? || Hyunjin FF

7🧩

We all sat together at the table and I felt completely sober again. The feeling of discomfort had spread within me and I could no longer look Minho, Changbin and Hyunjin in the eye.

They knew it...

He knew it...

And now Hyunjin probably wouldn't even want me as a friend anymore. And that's exactly what I never wanted because I didn't want to ruin my friendship with the other boys.

Maybe tomorrow I can just blame it on me being drunk? Yes, I think I should probably do that.

I stood up from my uncomfortable chair and leaned on Changbin's arm.
"I think I'll say goodbye for today."

I received a confused look from Jeongin, who had stayed sober the whole evening and was just quietly observing everything.

"Why do you want to leave now?" he asked me, staring at me intently.

"I am tired." I just said that and put on my jacket. Without saying goodbye, I left the table and hurried out of the club.

It was as if I had no air to breathe.

"Hey, wait a minute. What's going on?" Jeongin hurried after me with quick steps until he grabbed me and held my arm.

"He knows Jeongin. And Minho and Changbin too...what should I do now?"

"What does he know? "

"Damn. Hyunjin, Minho and Changbin know that I fell in love with Hyunjin. And Minho is already annoyed by Hyunjin anyway. And now he knows that I like Hyunjin and now he'll easily get involved again."

I sank to the floor and felt transported back to the 9th grade. Because even then, I was endangering other friendships with my feelings for someone.

Flashback

"Oh God Yun, don't act like that."

I turned to him and stared at him in disgust. "You've been screwing me over for a whole year! I'm not messing around here, I'm just trying to leave before I do something I'll regret." 

He grinned amused and crossed his arms over his chest. "As if you would ever harm me. You're too attached to me for that, Yun."

At that moment my common sense failed and I lashed out. But I never met his face as my hand was jerked back.

"Jaemin, you should get lost real quick now if your pretty face is a bit important to you."
Jaemin just stared in disbelief in the direction next to me and quickly turned around. He moved away from us with quick steps.

"Why did you do that? You're friends. I don't want you to fight over me."

My best friend Minho just shook his head with a laugh and pulled me into a hug.  
"He WAS my friend. Do you really think that after he cheated on you for almost a year, I still want anything to do with him?" 

I knew how much Jaemin meant to him and I was very grateful for the gesture, but he shouldn't dump his friends because of me.

"You still don't have to do that." He just smiled and gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"Come on, let's go get something to eat before I have to go to training later."

I took a deep breath and hugged him.

"Then let's go get something to eat, you fatty..."

And so Minho chose me back then. And with this decision, he separated an entire circle of friends.
And I was afraid of this to happen again.
