Love and Fame (BTS + Dreamcatcher fanfic)

Chapter 15

Minji's POV:

Today:

"And you still love her?" Kai asked with a soft voice, still holding my hand.

"Yeah..." I answered in a whisper, blinking away tears that threatened to fall.

"Well, that's more complicated than I thought." He sighed.

"No, it's not. In fact, it's really easy even. I just have to let her live her life and find someone who will take good care of her, as she deserves." I looked away.

Every single day, I was thinking back to that period of my life, when it was only her and I. It always hurt a bit, knowing that she would never be mine again. But today, telling this story out loud was worse, reminding me how much I fucked up back then and didn't deserve to still be by her side now.

"You're not going to give up on her just like that, right?" Kai took me out of my thoughts. "Where is this Jaesung guy? Just one word from you and I'm sending him out of the country. And believe me, I will make sure to shut his mouth forever." He said, looking determined.

"No, it's not Jaesung the problem anymore." I chuckled at his behavior. He was as involved as if it was his own story and absolutely wanted to help me. I didn't think he was going to change much my situation with Yoohyeon but at least, he allowed me to open up and I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulder. "Jaesung left the agency a few years ago, he didn't believe in us anymore, if he ever did before at least. Luckily, he never said anything about Yoohyeon and I."

"Then, why don't you go back with her?"

"Because I made a-"

"Promise? Please, don't tell me you're blocked just for a stupid promise."

"It's not a stupid promise." I answered, a little annoyed by this debate that was starting to go in circles. "They were right, this relationship was toxic, and mostly because of me, not only because of Jaesung. The most important thing is for Yoohyeon to be happy, and I know she won't be with me. So I have to let her move on and find someone better."

"Hum... I'm not convinced." He pouted.

"Hi lovebirds, sorry to bother you." Sua smirked, making me jump at her sudden appearance next to us.

"Jeez, you scared the shit out of me!" I scolded her, a hand on my chest to try to calm my heartbeat.

"I know." She smiled proudly. "Anyway, we are leaving with the girls and I'm not a really big fan of letting you wander alone at night. So either you come with us now or I let you here, cutely holding hands with your future husband and he takes you back home when you want."

"Oh, I can take you b-" Kai was about to answer but I quickly cut him.

"I'm leaving now too." I said, taking my hand away from his. I really enjoyed this evening with him and I was really grateful for his help but I wasn't ready to be left alone with a man. Plus, I couldn't wait to see my Yoohyeon again, to know how much I lost her. But guilt quickly invaded me as soon as I saw a hurt look in Kai's eyes. "I... I'm a bit tired, that's why. But we will see each other in Germany anyway." I tried to fix my mistake.

"Yes, I understand." He answered, a sweet smile forming on his face. "Go back to her, it's okay." He knew, of course he knew. After this short evening spent with him, I now understood that he could easily read in me and honestly, it was restful.

"Thank you." I smiled at him, standing up and following Sua outside.

On our way home, she didn't say anything about Kai and I or the fact that she saw us holding hands, but I knew that a lot of things were happening in her crazy mind at the moment.
