Love in the Shadows (KTH x reader x JJK) (18+)

Chapter 4

As Y/N was about to go inside the club again, she was approached by Baekhyun and Jennie. They found her looking visibly shaken, concerns etched on their faces.

"Y/N, are you okay?" Baekhyun asked, his voice filled with worry as he reached out a hand to steady her.

Jennie nodded in agreement, her expression mirroring Baekhyun's concern. "What happened? You look like you've seen a ghost," she remarked, her tone laced with concern.

Y/N made a split-second decision to keep the encounter with that Jungkook guy to herself for the time being. She didn't want to worry her friends any further, especially when she didn't have all the answers herself.

Putting on a brave face, Y/N greeted Baekhyun and Jennie with a forced smile. "Hey, guys. Sorry about that, I'm fine now," she assured them, hoping to alleviate their concerns.

Baekhyun and Jennie exchanged a knowing look, sensing that Y/N wasn't telling them everything, but they didn't press her for details. Instead, they nodded in understanding, respecting her decision to keep whatever had happened to herself.

"Okay, if you're sure," Baekhyun said, his voice filled with concern. "Just know that we're here for you if you need anything." Y/N nodded gratefully. To deflect her mind from what just happened she decided to go home. "Hey, guys," Y/N began, her voice carrying a sense of urgency. "I just got a call from my brother, and he needs me to go home. It sounded pretty important."

Jennie's brow furrowed with concern as she turned to Baekhyun. "Baekhyun, you're the only one sober enough to drive. Can you drop Y/N home?" she asked, her tone conveying both concern and a hint of urgency.

Baekhyun nodded without hesitation, his expression serious as he glanced at Y/N. "Of course, I'll take you home," he said, his voice filled with determination.

Y/N offered him a grateful smile, touched by his willingness to help. "Thanks, Baek. I really appreciate it," she replied, her voice filled with gratitude.

With a reassuring nod from Baekhyun, Y/N and Jennie exchanged a quick goodbye before Y/N followed Baekhyun towards the exit. As they made their way out of the club.

As Y/N and Baekhyun made their way to her house, a heavy silence settled between them, each lost in their own thoughts. He respected her silence, understanding that she needed time to process whatever was weighing on her mind.

Pulling up to Y/N's house, he parked the car and turned off the engine. He turned to her, his expression filled with concern. "Are you going to be okay?" he asked softly, his voice laced with genuine concern.

Y/N managed a small nod, offering him a weak smile. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Thanks for the ride, Baek," she replied softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

Baekhyun returned her smile, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Anytime, Y/N. Take care of yourself," he said, his tone gentle as he reached out to squeeze her hand in a reassuring gesture.

With a final nod, she stepped out of the car and made her way towards her front door, her heart heavy with the weight of unanswered questions and unresolved emotions.

As she entered the house, she was greeted by her brother Yoongi, his expression filled with worry. "Y/N, where have you been? I've been trying to reach you," he exclaimed, his voice tinged with concern.

Her heart sank as she realized she had missed her brother's calls, her mind consumed by the events of the evening. "I'm sorry, Oppa. My phone was on silent mode," she lied, her voice tinged with guilt. Yoongi enveloped her in a tight hug, his worry evident in his embrace. "Just promise me you'll be more careful next time," he murmured softly, his words filled with concern for his sister's well-being.
