¡!RUNNER!¡ (Haerin x Reader)

< ENDEAVORS >

Narrator

Everyone in the shop was having fun.

Everyone was amused learning about how Minji ended up with Hanni.

It was a bit of funny and hypocritical story.

Minji had seen how well Haerin was getting along with Y/n and how much good Y/n was trying to do...

Even if it seemed bad.

And after years of Hanni pestering Minji to go out with her.

Minji finally accepted.

It was mostly because Minji saw the good in Hanni's intentions.

It seemed like both Detective Kang and CSI, Kim Minji, had learned to see the other side of the badge.

- Y/N POV -

A party suddenly sparked with the excuse of my return.

I couldn't lie that I felt quiet intimidated about the warm welcome.

I always thought of myself as dispensable. Someone who is easy to replaced or someone who wasn't worth the trouble some of the crew members got into because of me.

"Are you alright?" The Detective suddenly asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine!" I chuckled a bit amused.

"Don't give me that, I could see it in your eyes and hear it in your tone!" Haerin sassed me.

I scoffed as if nothing was really happening.

"Are you drunk?" Haerin asked.

I knew that she knew,

I wasn't as emotional when I was sober.

I knew how to hide my feelings and shut up when I was sober.....

But not when I was drunk...

Not around her.

"You're not gonna answer, are you?" The Detective sassed me again.

I knew Haerin could tell the state I was in...

She just wanted to hear something that I probably wasn't ready to say.

"Is it about Dani?" Haerin asked lowly.

I snicked a bit at the ridiculous question.

I giggled a bit more, for a few seconds, then took a deep breath.

"It's not about Dani," I sighed out.

"It's about you," I hesitated to admit.

The Detective just tilted her head and seemed to try to look into my eyes.

I turned my face away from her...

Unable to face her as I shared one of my biggest insecurities.

"You came for me," My voice cracked a bit.

"You went out of your way and came to save me," I was having a really hard time with holding my emotions in... but... I was really drunk...

Too drunk to even realize what I was saying.
