Mafia's Promise || Kim Taehyung

Chapter 15

I invited him over.

"Why are you here?" I asked as I motioned him to sit down.

"Umm," He hesitated, "My parents sent me out to live on my own."

"They finally did it, huh?" I chuckled, "Finally caused enough problems."

"I've changed, Y/N," he protested, "Please...let me stay here." He stood up, as I shook my head.

"You...don't want me to stay?" His face saddened.

"I never said that," I replied. I went towards the couch on which he was sitting, "Just look at the first problem you've caused." I showed him the wet part of the couch.

"Oops," He nervously giggled, rubbing the back of his neck.

"You can stay," I sighed, "But, you have to do just what I say. You're my best friend. Of course, I can't leave you out in the open all alone, but the thing is that, when I used to be with you, you did everything for me. I know you were trying to be kind, but when you went away, I realized that I was better off without you. I know it breaks your heart, but Jungkook, I found out my true skills after you went away. You were good at everything, and somehow I lost my confidence for myself when you were around." I stood up and held him by his shoulder.

"Even though I'm not perfect, and even though I'm still confused, a part of me now knows who I'm supposed to be. Even though the past is still pulling me to the dark, I know I'll see the light. And I do need your help, that is, if...you'll promise to stay by my side." I looked into his eyes, waiting for an answer.

He held my hand. "I promise."

I smiled and went to my room to get him some dry clothes, but stopped when he called my name.

"Y/N. Can we...start over?"

I looked puzzled at him. I knew what he meant, but I was not ready for it. I tried to give the answer to him slowly.

"Jungkook, if you really want an answer, then I have one. You like it or not, but I think, that we're better off as friends than being serious over each other. I tried my best to make you happy, but I guess you'll need to find someone else."

I looked at him while biting my lip. He waited for a while and finally said.

"Well, if that's what you want, then...okay. But only the part where we stay as friends. NOT the part where I find someone else to replace you."

He smiled at me and I smiled back. I ran over to hug him and he opened his arms wide.

"Friends?" he said giving me his pinky finger.

"You still do that?" I laughed as I locked my fingers with him. "Let me get you a jacket and some dry clothes."

I went to Hoseok oppa's room to get him some clothes. Oppa had already packed all his clothes, so I could find only some of them. On the way downstairs I noticed a jacket on my bed. Then I remembered that I still had Taehyung's jacket. I smiled looking at it.

It will suit Jungkook

I brought him the clothes.

"This jacket looks expensive. You bought it?" He looked at me with a shocked face.

"I guess," I smirked. I can brag a little, right? "I will give it as a gift to someone tomorrow. But you can wear it."

"Wow...its Gucci, right?" he said, still mesmerized by the jacket. I laughed but then we both froze when we heard a loud bang of thunderstorm. We stared at each other until we heard another one, louder than earlier.
