Let Me Love You

Answers

"Chels, can we talk?" You peeked your head into her room, seeing she was talking on the phone. She nodded, holding up a finger, signaling you to wait. You walked out of her room, grabbing your phone to see if you had any notifications. None. Woozi must not have arrived yet, so you sent him a quick text, just simply saying that you missed him. You walked back into Chelsea's room, hearing her laughing at the person on the phone.  "Yeah, sounds great. I miss you too, so much. I'm glad you made it. Call me when you can, bye!" She sighed, hanging up the phone. "Sorry, Vernon called me to tell me they made it to the first venue. Has Woozi called you yet?" Your heart kinda sunk, and you shook your head. "Maybe you should try calling him." You were about to step out and call, but then you remembered why you were in there. "Wait, Chels, we need to talk." A confused look came onto her face, but she just scooted over, patting the spot next to her on the bed. You stayed standing, just staring at her. How do you bring this up? Be straightforward or go into it easy? Would she get mad at you for asking about it? Nervousness crept into your mind, but you shoved it away.

"Why the hell didn't you tell me Jiyong came to the apartment every night, drunk off his ass? Did you not think it was important to tell me?" Straightforward it is. You crossed your arms, staring at her blank face. "He didn't want me to tell you, he literally got on his hands and knees, begging me not to tell you. Plus, I didn't want you freaking out, which is happening right now. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Rae. I really am." You sighed, dropping your arms. "He told me he was jealous of Woozi and I, and that he got drunk because of it. Chels, what do I do?" She sighed, looking at you. "Rae, listen. You barely know this Ji guy. And you and Woozi aren't exactly official, right? Get to know Ji, you already know Woozi enough. Just listen to your heart." You bit your lip, looking down. "Heh, yeah.. about that.. before they all left, Woozi uh.. he kissed me, in front of all the other members. So we might be official? Oh god, but Ji kissed me the other night, and- GOD I AM SUCH A WHORE WHAT EVEN!" I face palmed myself, and started pacing. "Whoa whoa slow your roll, you did WHAT now? You are not a whore, don't say that again.. but dang Rae, you're getting all the guys aren't ya? You've got a bad boy, and a good boy. Sounds like a TV show! Who will you choose?" You just glared at her as she laughed.

She got suddenly serious. "Look, you aren't official, it was just a kiss, okay? Just follow what your heart wants. Yeah, it might be hard, but don't stay with someone or be with someone just cause. Make sure its what you actually want." You nodded, pulling out your phone. "I'm gonna go call Woozi, night Chels. Thank you." Dialing Woozi's number, you walked into the kitchen, sitting on the counter. You kicked your legs back and forth, waiting to hear his voice speak on the other side. "Hello? Who is this?" Woozi sounded like he had just woken up, and you felt guilty for waking him. "Uh i-its Rae. Hey, Woozi." He yawned, seeming uninterested. "Oh hey." He almost sounded bored, and that made your stomach go in knots, something was up. "So.. I heard you made it to the venue! That's exciting, but why didn't-" He cut you off, sounding somewhat angry. "Can't this wait? Sorry Rae, I have more important things to do than call you when we get to a venue that's a few hours away. Didn't I say I was going to call you? You couldn't have waited? Aish, I'm going back to sleep. Bye." Before you could respond, he hung up. Why was he being so harsh all of the sudden? Everything was fine this morning.. your eyes filled with tears. What had you done in a few hours that had made him so mad? You jumped down from the counter, and once you did, your ankle twisted, casing you to fall. You screamed out in pain, clutching your ankle. This made you cry even more, why the fuck was everything going wrong? No one came to see if you were okay, they must not have heard you.

Mumbling a few curse words, you hobbled back into your room. You only made it to the door, opening it, then crashing to the floor. Tears flowed freely down your face, and your ankle was throbbing. "Ji, oh god Jiyong please wake up!" You said, rather loudly. The bed moved, and suddenly, Ji leaned over the edge. "Help me, I hurt my ankle." He slid off the bed onto the floor, picking you up and very gently setting you on the bed. The light turned on, and you got a good look at your ankle. Your face went white. It was already swollen, and colorful bruises had started to appear. "Aish! Rae, what the hell did you do?" You started crying again, remembering what had happened prior to hurting yourself. You told him about the phone call, and then how you jumped off the counter, causing the injury. "You need to go to the hospital. It could be broken.." You shook your head vigorously. "No, no way. Its not broken, I promise. Its perfectly fine, just a little beat up. Please don't make me go.." Hospitals were your biggest fear. You practically lived in one for awhile after the incident. You shuddered, looking at Ji with pleading eyes.
