Day Thirteen

When Seven woke up the next morning -afternoon- he had no idea that it was going to be the worst day ever.

When he ate his usual bag of honey buddha chips for breakfast -lunch- it was an ordinary day. If anything, he was happier than usual because he actually talked to you and held a conversation! You, the girl he is completely in love with, wanted him to tell more about himself.

Even after being awake for three hours and had completed a lot of his work earlier than expected, he doesn't know that day would turn out to be the absolute worst he has ever had.

And possibly the worst you ever had as well.

It started out simple; you were grumpy. You had little to no sleep last night, and had to get up early not only to make Elizabeth Third some breakfast, but also to get ready for work (because, yes, the girl, who most likely will never have to work a day in her life due to maybe marrying a corporate heir in the future, has a job).

Then, as the day went on, it got worse. Not only were you in a bad mood from lack of sleep but also because you were still frustrated and confused. You didn't mean for it to happen, but knowing that Seven might have feelings for you was all you could think about.

It came as a huge shock to you. You were still thinking about it. God, why am I so obsessed with this?

You were so busy thinking about Seven's possible feelings that you completely forgot that Jumin was coming home tonight.

"What am I even doing, Elly?" you complain to your boyfriend's cat, secretly calling her by the nickname he despises. "I should just pretend I didn't hear it, right?"

Great, now you're talking to a cat about your problems. Does this even count as a problem? It isn't confirmed; he didn't say it to you directly or while you're 'conscious.' You were so tired last night. Maybe you misheard or imagined it?

Then he calls you. Someone is always calling you, and you don't remember ever being so popular. After joining the rfa, your phone is ringing basically every hour; and it's usually Luciel who's calling.

"H...hello?" For some reason, it was hard to talk. You could barely get any words out, and no matter how many times you cleared your throat, it was still difficult.

"Are you okay, señorita?" Seven asks, and his voice almost perfectly pronounces the foreign word.

"Yes, I'm just tired," you get out, and suddenly your throat is dry. Why is this so hard?

"Yeah, you kinda fell asleep on me last night," he jokes, and your breath hitches. Oh, no you did not; you wish you did.

"Haha, yeah," you say, awkwardly laughing. "I didn't miss anything important, right? In your story..."

He starts violently coughing.

He calms down and answers your previous question. Now it's his turn to awkwardly laugh. "Haha, nope! Noth-nothing at all! Nothing...at all."

Then there's awkward silence. This has never happened while talking to Seven, and you realize that it's 100% your fault. You're making it awkward; you feel awkward. You have no idea how to speak to him now. Normally? It seems impossible when all you can think about is him saying I love you.

Why are you still so obsessed with this? You have Jumin; Seven's words shouldn't affect you at all. But, they do, and they are.

"Are you sure you're just tired?" He notices something off about you. Him being so concerned is definitely not helping you or your thoughts or your feelings-

Feelings? Is that what this is? Impossible, you think, absolutely impossible.

"I'm okay! How about you?"

"I miss Elly."

"You can come over if you want to see her." Fuck. Why did I say that? You honestly blurted it out without thinking. Is having him come over really a good idea? You can't take back the offer now, so you're silently hoping he declines.

"Really? You'd let me?" He sounds so..happy. Your heart starts beating faster. No, fucking stop. Don't do this, you curse your heart.

"U-um, don't tell Jumin, I guess. He'd probably kill you."

"Okay!" He then hangs up, obviously eager to get here quickly. You already regret it. Stupid stupid stupid.

He's there in almost no time. Hesitantly, you open the door to let him in and assure the bodyguards that it was okay. They recognized Seven anyways.

The day gets worse from there.

While you're opening the door for Seven to enter, of fucking course Elizabeth 3rd has to dart out of the room. "Elly!" Seven exclaims, rushing after her with stretched out hands. He looks so happy seeing her that you almost feel jealous.

You run out after them both and watch as Seven lifts her and spins her around. "U-uh, should you really be doing that?"

"I do it all the time! It's okay."

That isn't reassuring. "All the time? Jumin doesn't allow it, though?"

He awkwardly laughs. "Haha...yeah...about that..."

"Nope, nope. I don't even want to know."

He laughs at your response. "You probably don't."

Walking over to him, you carefully take Elly into your arms, but for some reason, she isn't loving you like she did yesterday. She immediately puts up a fight and tries to escape your hold. "Elly-Elizabeth 3rd! It's just me."

"You called her Elly?"

"It was an accident."

Then the unexpected happens: she wiggles out of your arms and runs out of the building. "This is the second time this week she has run away. Am I just bad luck?" you joke.

"You're a good lick."

"Lick?"

"H-huh? I..I said good luck! S-stupid autocorrect."

"We are talking; this conversation is verbal." He is a walking meme.

While you're joking around with Luciel, you didn't notice Elly running out into the middle of the road. A car was going at the same time this happened.

"Seven!"

He didn't get there in time. You didn't even have time to mourn. "Rest In Peace, Luciel."

"I'm not dead, [y/n]."

"No, but we are going to be." ((More like I'm going to be deaD AM I RIGHT HAHAHA sorry))
