Object of Affection [Mina X Male Reader]

Ch. 15

"Can we meet one more time, I still have something to tell you," Jennie asks as they finish their conversation. Haru smiles warmly at her and replies, "Of course! I would love to see you again before you move."

They then part ways and agree to meet up again. When Haru arrives home, he finally looks at his phone and sees texts from Mina. He opens the messages to find Mina expressing her concern about his meeting up with Jennie, so he decides to call her.

"Love? I'm sorry, I didn't look at my phone; I just got home and finished washing up." Mina couldn't help but sigh, "Why did you take so long to talk to her, did she ask to get back with you?" Haru chuckles softly, reassuring Mina that his meeting up with Jennie was purely platonic, explaining that Jennie wanted to apologize and they were just catching up. He promises to be more attentive to his phone in the future and asks Mina to trust him.

"What you're planning to meet up with her again?" Mina raises an eyebrow, her concern evident in her voice. "I understand catching up, but why does it have to be in person? Can't you just talk on the phone or text?" Haru pauses for a moment, considering Mina's perspective. He then explains that Jennie wanted to meet in person one more time to tell Haru something.

"Mina, don't you trust me?" Haru's voice was filled with a hint of disappointment as he spoke over the phone. "I just don't like the thought of you seeing her" Mina admits, her voice wavering slightly. "I can't help but feel a bit insecure about it." Haru takes a deep breath, trying to reassure her. "I understand your concerns, Mina. Me and Jennie are just platonic, I promise you have nothing to worry about, unlike... Ren" Haru's voice trails off, his tone tinged with bitterness.

"What are you talking about?" Mina asks, confused by Haru's sudden mention of Ren. Haru hesitates for a moment before deciding to open up about his thoughts, "Ren likes you, Mina, I can see but did I stop you when you got out with him? No, because I trust you." Mina's eyes widen in surprise as she processes Haru's words.

"I can't with you Haru, bringing Ren into this, it's different, we don't have any relationship beyond just business while you and Jennie were once in a relationship!" Mina's voice trembles slightly as she tries to defend herself.

Haru realizing Mina was viewing this situation one-sided and not trying to understand him feels a pang of frustration. He takes a deep breath and continues, "Mina, let's not talk about this anymore, I'll be meeting up with Jennie and I promise to tell you all about it if you ask."

Mina's eyes narrow as she listens to Haru's response, her frustration evident. She crosses her arms and replies, "Fine, but don't expect me to be happy about it. Just remember that actions speak louder than words." She then ended the call.

Once again they left things on a bad note. The following week Haru meets up with Jennie once again after work and continues catching up. "I'm engaged," Jennie announces, her voice filled with excitement. Haru's eyes widen in surprise, and he immediately congratulates Jennie with a hug.

"She wants to meet you," Jennie says which surprised Haru. "She?" Haru's mind races as he tries to process the information. "Yeah, her name is Lisa," Jennie smiles.

"You're into girls?' Haru asks, trying to hide his confusion. Jennie nods, smiling proudly. "Yes, I've realized that after meeting Lisa. Love knows no boundaries, right?" Haru takes a moment to absorb the news before responding. "Jennie. I'm happy for you and I can't wait to meet Lisa." Jennie then goes to get Lisa.

"Nice to finally meet you," Haru says, extending his hand for a handshake. Lisa returns the gesture with a warm smile, and the three of them begin chatting and getting to know each other better. Haru can't help but feel a sense of relief and happiness for Jennie, knowing that she has found someone who makes her truly happy."
