Saeyoung x Reader: Hearts Of Glass (EDITING)

Chapter 8

Seven and I had been sitting on the couch together for the past hour, not saying a word. The built up tension made me feel like I was suffocating.

"Seven..? Did I say something wrong? We've been silent for almost an hour now."

"I just.. had a feeling this would happen. Damnit..." He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed.

"Had a feeling what would happen?" I asked, my worry increasing.

"It's.. I can't tell you. Not right now. I don't understand it myself, either," his eyebrows furrowed and he frowned.

I placed my hand on his shoulder. "You can tell me if you don't feel the same. It's okay."

"(Y/n), I've really enjoyed the company, but I think it might be best if we find you another place to stay. Maybe with Jaehee or Yoosung? Or your brother when he gets better?" He stated.

"Was it something I said? I'm sorry.." I sank back into the puffy cusions of the couch and anxiously played with my fingertips.

He sat in silence for a moment and buried his face into his hands. I motioned to place my hand on his back, but he sat up and looked at me.

"It's.. not you. It's me. I'm too dangerous to be involved with. Not with the work I do.. I'm such an idiot."

"If you'd be more comfortable with me staying somewhere else.. I understand, Luciel.. but I didn't mean to--"

"Look, okay? It's not your fault! I just had to jump and come save the day because of these.. feelings.. And now..." he paused for a moment, "I don't know what to do with them without putting you at risk."

"What feelings, Seven?"

He tried to respond, but couldn't utter the words out.

"I'll call Yoosung and ask him to stay there. I'm sure he won't mind, okay? When you're ready to talk, just let me know. I'll be on the phone with Yoosung."

I grabbed my phone off the table and made my way to the bathroom, dialing Yoosung's number and pressing the green button.

I wonder how he feels...

●"Hey, what's up?" He cooed.

"Hey Yoosung.. listen.. would you be cool if I crashed at your place for a bit?"

●"Yeah.. sure, I don't mind! Are hotels becoming too luxurious for you? Haha."

"Oh, I've been at Seven's for the past few days. I think he needs some time.. or.. something."

●"You've been at Seven's?! Did you two confess your love for each other?! Was it scandalous?! Is he cheating on you???"

"Yoosung-! No, that's.. that's not it. He said it has to do with his work being dangerous.. he doesn't want me to get involved. That's all.."

●"You sound upset, (Y/n).. what's wrong?"

"Oh you know.." I choked up a bit. "Just a little worried for him. That's all. I'll be okay."

●"Well, you're always welcome to stay with me as long as you don't mind me playing games all night! It does get kinda loud, and my apartment is small.. but I can sleep on the couch or pull out the extra mattress in my storage."

"N-No that's okay! I can sleep on the couch. I'm not too worried. I'll probably need to call a cab? It's a long story.. I'll explain when I get there. I need to give him some space and relax for a minute. I'll text you?"

●"Yeah, okay! That sounds great! I hope everything is okay.. just text me when you leave, I'll--"

A gentle knock on the door frame caught me off guard. I'd been sitting in the bathroom on the floor talking to Yoosung.
