Jongho's little sister

The Fling and The Dealer

You all ended up going to a restaurant to eat, you were a little afraid to pay for 9 people, since you're a freelancer photographer and don't earn that much money

"Everything looks so delicious, what do you want to eat Y/n?"
Jongho asked you, you were sitting between Seonghwa and Jongho, and San was sitting right in front of you; soon you all finished eating and the waiter placed the bill on the table, before you could grab, Mingi grabbed it and said

"You seriously thought we were gonna let you pay for the whole thing?"
You got flustered at his statement and sat back while the others agreed with him, you all split the cost and paid together, you were relieved that you didn't have to pay for the whole thing, but also embarrassed that you couldn't

"Excuse me"
You excused yourself and went outside from the back door, you felt you could cry, you started counting on your fingers, leaving out the ring finger, its a method to calm yourself while having a panic attack, you realised what triggered your panic attack, you felt guilty that you couldn't even pay for the dinner, you had a tendency to feel guilty about the tiniest things, but we'll get into it later

"You okay?"
You looked up at the tall figure, it was Mingi, you quickly wiped your tears and looked at him, nodding

"Doesn't look like it"
"No I'm fine"
"You shouldn't feel bad about not paying for the dinner, its okay, we weren't planning on making you pay anyway, don't worry"
"Hmm"
You just nodded in response, that's exactly what you wanted to hear to be honest, not realising that more tears started falling from your eyes, Mingi saw them and cupped your cheeks, making you look up at him

"Hey hey, don't cry, it's okay, it's not your fault"
He suddenly hugged you, you were taken aback but ended up hugging him back tightly and bawled your eyes out on his chest, he gave your head a soft pat, as soon as he said 'it's not your fault' it triggered your tears to come out; you pulled away after crying on his chest for a few minutes, composing yourself and looked up at him

"Thank you Mingi oppa"
"Anytime sweetheart"
You blushed at the nickname

"Lemme go and get you some water"
You hummed and nodded, as you sat down on the bench, waiting for him to get your water

"Y/n, are you okay?"
"Oh- San oppa"
You said as you stood up and he walked up to you

"I-I'm fine"
You said, replying to him, he came closer

"Do you remember anything from the night of the first shoot?"
"I-"
You didn't know what to say, he asked you so suddenly

"You dropped me home right?"
"That's all you remember?"
You nodded hesitantly

"Well, lemme make sure you remember this"
He said as he kissed you, you widened your eyes but slowly melted into the kiss and kissed him back, he pulled you closer by wrapping his hands around your waist, you wrapped your hands around his neck, but suddenly reality hit you and you pushed him away

"I thought you said I was too young"
"I thought you said you didn't remember anything"
You blushed

"It just came back to me"
He chuckled at your statement, your smile disappeared when you realised what you were doing

"I'm sorry oppa, but I can't do this"
You said as you walked back inside and took your purse

"I'm off"
"Hey where are you going?"
"To a friend's"
"Come on, I'll drop you"
"How will they get home then?"
"Hongjoong hyung's car is big enough to fit all 7 of them"
You made an O face then agreed; you said your byes to everyone, except San, who was still outside, you both went to Jongho's car and drove off; you can't, you will just end up hurting him, he does not deserve it

"So what's going on?"
"Huh?"
Jongho's sudden question took you off guard

"Come on, I know something happened between you and San"
"Oh that; yeah we kissed"
He gasps in excitement

"So are you guys official or something?"
"No, I can't, I told you right, I'm not interested in being in a relationship right now"
"Okay, I have to know, what happened in London?"
"N-nothing"
"Don't lie to me"
"Jongho, stop the car"
"Come one, Y/n, don't do this, you can tell me anything, it's me"
"Jongho, I said stop the car"
He stopped the car and you got off

"Y/n, where are you going?!"
You didn't reply to him and just walked off, letting your tears fall down, walking in the middle of nowhere, even you had no idea where you were going, you were just walking without a destination, no thoughts, just walking blankly with tears falling down; you remembered that you had a joint in your purse, you took it out and lit it up, smoking it, getting really high, forgetting that Korean streets at night can be really dangerous for girls, you finished your joint and tried walking straight, but couldn't, your vision slowed down and the street lights got pretty blurry, suddenly you got a call, it was an unknown number, you picked it up, knowing who it was

"You still haven't paid for the last batch and now you're asking for more?"
"I told you I will pay you, have I ever failed to do so in the past? No right, I'll pay you as soon as I get the money"
"I'm giving you a week, if you take longer than that, you know what'll happen"
You gulped and hung up, that was your dealer, you didn't have money but you needed your drugs, otherwise you would go into manic mode, this happened once in London, when your dealer in London didn't have any more left and said that you would have to wait; you opened your maps and tried using it to go back home, you successfully reached home

- Flashback

Mingi poured some water in the glass

"Is Y/n okay?"
Jongho asked Mingi

"Yeah don't worry"
These two were standing at the counter where the water purifier was, facing their back at the others and didn't notice San go out

"Did she cry?"
Jongho asked the older guy

"A little"
"I don't know what has gotten into her, ever since she came back from London, something felt off"
"I'm sure its nothing, otherwise she would've told you, you know she tells you everything right"
"Hmm I guess you're right"
"Don't think too much"
Mingi said as he patted Jongho's shoulder and went out to give Y/n the water, as soon as he stepped outside, he saw San and Y/n kissing, both too immersed in the kiss to notice the taller one looking at them, Mingi didn't know why but he felt sad, looking at them, he sighed and quietly went back inside without getting noticed, he drank glass of water and sat down with the others, not saying anything

- End of flashback

"Where have you been?"
Your mom asked worriedly as you entered the house

"Out"
"Y/n, I don't know what your friends taught you in London, but now you're back to living under my roof, so you better behave accordingly"
"Yes mom"
You just nodded and went to your room, your mom scoffed
