The PLAYBOY (Shalnark x Reader: Modern COMPLETED)

Chapter 8

"I-I don't known what you're talking about." I tried escaping from it but she got me.

"Come on Phinks, your face is telling it all. Do you like her?" She shook her head in disappointment so I sigh in defeat.

"W-what? Me? No way! But..." since I already know that she's not going to let this go that easily, I might as well tell her the truth.

"Well, I just want our little boss to really experience what love is and I could see that when I saw Y/n. Besides, Y/n also needs help you know." I explained and good thing they didn't question much further anymore.

"I see..." Machi trailed off and she was thinking of something. "Then I'll help you with it. Just tell us the plan."

"Don't forget about us." Uvogin smirk.

"Yeah, we're here to help to you know." Nobunaga chuckled.

"Plus, we can't have you having all the fun by yourself." Franklin nodded.

I smiled as they agreed to me and yes I know that Y/n needs help because I've seen it all. The way she got bullied and got rejected by everyone. I wanted to help her but Jess threatens me that she would expose to everyone my deepest fear which I didn't want it to happen because it's embarrassing.

But this time, I am sure that I would be able to finally help that little girl. Though I have to make sure that the plan works. Make Shalnark really fall in love with her for real. Not only I'm helping Y/n, but we'll also be helping Shalnark. They'll be a cute couple one day.

Reader's POV

I was now heading towards the school's forest when suddenly, I tripped over on one of the tree trunk and fell down with a very harsh crash. I rolled up into a ball and cried on my knees.

Why? Why am I even crying? I thought I was use to pain but why am I crying right now?

Then the image of the two new people appeared in my mind.

Killua, Gon... is this because of the two of you? You're the first person who rescued me from getting bullied. But why am I crying then? Oh, I get it now. It's because someone finally notice me and maybe somehow... cared about me. But I won't get my hopes up yet.

I continued crying, thinking of all of the things that recently happen today.
First was Shalnark, pretending that he likes me and such but I could tell that he doesn't really care and now Killua and Gon. Where did they even came from? I never see them at school until now. What's going on? Would they... no, never get your hopes up Y/n. You'll only get hurt in the end.

Nobody cares, no one truly care about you. They're just playing with your feelings so never ever trust anyone. You deserve to be alone and alone forever. You live alone and you will die alo-

"Y/n?! Y/n where are you?!" A familiar voice called my name and I somehow stop crying to see if it was real.

Is that him? Nah, it's just your imagination Y/n.

"Y/n come on! Where are you?!" He spoke again and this time, it was real.

Why is he even here? What does he wants?!

"There you are..." was the last word he said but I barely even heard it.

The next thing I knew, he was in front of me crouching down.

"What happened?" He ask and I glared at him, trying so hard not to cry in front of him.

"Go away! I don't need you here!" I harshly spat and he sigh.

"Come on Y/n, just tell me what happened. I might be able to help you. Trust me." He said with a soft voice.

"I said go away! I don't need your help or anyone's help! Just leave me alone and stop pretending that you car-" Before I can finish my sentence, something pulled me and I landed on something soft and warm.

I then realize that it was Shalnark who pulled me and put me against his chest. His left arm was embracing me while the other one was stroking my hair. Hate to admit it but I like the feeling when someone is comforting me just like seven years ago. It's been so long that I forgot what it feels like.

Suddenly, I burst into tears since I couldn't hold it much longer. Shalnark continued stroking my hair while his top was soaking in my years.

"There there, let it all out. You can do it." His chest vibrated and I look up to meet with his blue eyes with my e/c puffy eyes.

Why? Why are you doing this? Was the question I wanted to ask him but I couldn't get myself to do it.

I then started hitting him on his chest, because he's just playing with my feelings, which startled him.

"H-hey! W-what are you doing?" He ask and his facial reaction was so funny that it made me... laugh?

"Haha... your... face!" I have no idea what was happening but I stop laughing when he stared into my e/c eyes.

My heart started beating so loud and fast but I held it back immediately.

Stop it Y/n! You cannot fall in love with the Playboy!
