7 Reasons Why || [COMPLETED]

5. Your patience

Y/N's POV

I hate it here.

Why do I have to be a third wheel on Jimin and Dahyun's date?!

Why did I agree to do this?

Well, I know the answers to those questions.

Dahyun had asked me to accompany her to her first date, and I agreed only because I couldn't say no to her. Jimin was talking non-stop, talking about his rich father who'd love to meet Dahyun, his friends, his hobbies, and other stuff I didn't care about enough to remember. The whole time, I stared at them boredly, munching on my fries. At least he paid for my food.

Dahyun stood up, telling us that she was going to the toilet. I was left alone in awkward silence with Jimin, until he spoke. "Y/N, right?"

I simply nodded, not bothering to answer.

"Friends with Dahyun?"

I nodded again. He exhaled deeply and leaned back in his chair. "You seem close. You sure you're not.. dating?"

I froze. I was tempted to mess with this guy and say yes, maybe he'd go away. But although I wanted it to be true, it's a lie, and Dahyun would find out. I can't handle the embarrassment. "Yeah."

This time it was Jimin who nodded, relieved. I grit my teeth. "Well, Y/N," he started, staring at his shoes, "back off, alright? If you do like her, you've got no chance. I want her, and I always get what I want."

What the hell? I almost felt guilty about disliking him, he seemed so nice. Apparently, he's another selfish jerk. "I suggest you back off," I muttered. "If you hurt her, you'll feel the same pain times a thousand."

He chuckled mockingly, crossing his legs. "Oh, yeah?"

Before I could answer, Dahyun returned. She regarded me with a nod and sat beside Jimin, not even batting an eye when he swung an arm around her shoulder and smirked at me.

I sighed in relief when I was finally able to escape. I was lying sprawled on my bed, staring at Dahyun who was examining my desk. She had insisted on coming with me. "Interesting," she was mumbling, "you don't have leftover candy wrappers here."

Glaring at her, I sat up. "Excuse me, I don't always keep my wrappers there."

She turned to me with her eyebrows raised. "Where else do you keep them, then?"

I groaned and fell back again, smiling subconsciously when I heard her giggle. I felt the bed dip and her warmth against my back. "Hmm, Y/N?"

"Yes?"

"What do you think is the most romantic date?"

"Why are you asking me?" I said, turning around to face her. It was a mistake. She lay so close to me that her nose almost touched mine, and she was staring at me intently. I couldn't stop the blush from forming on my cheeks.

"I just wanted your opinion."

What is the most romantic date? Maybe going to the beach. Or an art museum together and you talk for hours about what each painting could mean. Or simply star-gazing and spending time together. But people do that, don't they? What's a really unique date idea? Wait, why is she asking? Is she planning to ask Jimin out again? What-

"Y/N, you're zoning out again."

I snapped out of it. "Sorry. But, I don't know. I guess it depends on the people who are dating. Like their interests, what they think is fun to do, or something like that."

Dahyun nodded, snuggling closer to me. "Mmm, okay. Can I stay here for the night?"

"Sure, I guess."

It's amazing how she's put up with me for so long. She really does have the patience I don't have.
