Don't hate the player (Hanni Pham X Fem!Reader)

Chapter 22

Hanni's pov:

After the pizza night out with the girls I started feeling weird.

Actually, since author-nim started writing this damn book things have gone downhill. She's trying to make me look like I'm in love with my best friend.

Now... The week passed by normally. Me and Y/n both acted like it nothing was going on to avoid the confrontation.

Even if she confronted me what would I say? That I'm jealous when she talks with other females? That I'm proud she hasn't hooked up with anyone since Chaewon? Or that I want her attention on me and only me when we're just best friends?

Who am I even kidding? We're not best friends.

I need to distance myself. I've fallen in love with my best friend. My best friend who does little things that make my heart flutter.

My best friend that is like a calming pill when I'm not okay. My best friend who's the only person I'd trust with my life.

My best friend who doesn't love.

Can she feel that too? Can she feel the tension every time we're with each other?

I need to distance myself if I don't wanna get hur- "PhamPham?"

A familiar voice asked behind me, there's only one person who calls me that.

Fuck distancing I missed her and we only have to see each other 1 day.

"Y/n!" I yelled and run to hug her.

"What are you doing here?" She asked me while pulling away from the hug.

"In the florist... Uh buying flowers?" I asked unsure of what she meant.

That's right, we're currently at a florist. My mom bought a pretty vase for the living room and she wanted me to go buy a few flowers.

"Oh... Right, there's not much to do here." She said and the tension of the weeks starting growing again.

"You? Why are you here?" I asked her to break the silence.

"I was actually buying some flowers to leave at my parents grave..." She said in a low voice.

I knew this voice, it was the voice of a person almost breaking down. On their lowest. And I had seen this side of Y/n.

"Can I come with you?" I asked her, I needed to make sure she was okay.

"Yeah, sure. Just let me buy some of their favorite flowers."

We got in the car silently until she spoke.

"You could really use a driver's license PhamPham."

"And lose the chance of having a personal driver?" I joked.

"You know you'll have the benefit of calling me that officially when we get married." She looked at me with a smile.

I don't know if she's serious or not at this point.

"I guess you have to propose first." I teased back not wanting her to notice that I got flustered.

We stopped outside of a little forest, 20 minutes away from our houses.

There they were... Y/N's parents.

She looked down and bowed 90°.

"Mom... Dad... It's been a year already..." She said lowly.

"They'd be proud of you Y/n..." I hugged her, I knew she needed it.

"Would they? I feel like a disappointment." She said and looked at me with tears on her cheeks.

I used my sleeve to wipe her tears and then hugged her again before whispering comforting things in her ear.

After a few minutes of silence, I returned in the car and let her stay there for a while to take her time.

Y/N's pov:

"Mom, dad... I hope heaven is a better place, I never wanted you to suffer in this earth. You just saw me coming with Hanni. Mom, dad... I hope that you're happy that I'm starting to feel something after you know who..." I paused.

I felt too weak. It feels like a lie still. Tell me my parents are here.

I broke down again.

"Am I still your little girl?" I asked.

I feel insane, it's a grave. No one's gonna respond. I looked back to my car and Hanni was there, looking around in the forest.

"Mom, dad. I hope you're not ashamed of me. You know everything I do now. I'm sorry for not visiting... I felt like the worst person. But the truth is... I really need to start moving on from you. That's what you always told me.

Flashback...

"Y/n, you know that we'll always be with you right?" Mom asked me and put me to bed.

"Yes mom, that's what you've been telling me for 12 years." I chuckled.

"It's already been 12 years since we had you... My little girl..." She said and caressed my hair.

I've always had a great relationship with my parents. I trust them as much as I trust Hanni.

"If anything ever happens to us, move on. Life isn't grieving and sadness. You should live your life however you want and chase your happiness." Mom said and pulled the covers on my bed as I nodded.

"Good night mommy I love you!" I said and kissed her cheek.

End of flashback...

"Y/n... Don't panic... You're not alone..." Hanni comforted me.

I got a panic attack for crying so much. Thank God Hanni was near and run to get me.

"I'm scared Hanni... W-what if they hate me now?" I asked and kept crying.

"They don't Y/n... No one could ever hate you." She comforted me.

"I miss them so much... They were my rock excluding you... Now I've only got you. They didn't keep their promise to stay with me." I sobbed in her embrace.

"Y/n... It was just bad timing... They didn't want to lose their lives... You got me here, I'm with you. I'm never leaving. This is not an empty promise Y/n." She kissed my forehead.

I started calming down.

"Let's go for a walk first, I don't think you're ready to drive yet." Then she took my hand and we walked around till my heartbeat was normal again...
