BOYFRIEND BY CONTRACT #1 (RE-EDITING!)

F O U R T E E N

I was currently sitting on the bed with Yoona's head laying on my lap. She seemed more quiet than usual.

"Are you feeling alright?" She simply shook her head and closed her eyes. A sigh escaped her lips and that was enough for me to know that she wasn't fine.

"I don't think Yoongi likes me." She lifted her head from my lap and pressed her back against the pillow. "Whenever he's with me I feel like he's not happy."

Her eyes became watery as she buried her face in her hands. I couldn't see her sad. She was my best friend after all.

"I'm scared that he's just using me, y/n." I sat beside her and caressed her back in a comforting way. "I won't be able to deal with another failed relationship." Her voice pleading as she looked at me with an empty expression and eyes full of words left unsaid.

"He likes you." For brief seconds I could see her eyes lit up when she raised her head. Her eyes scanned my face as she tried to take in my words.

"How can you be so sure?" An serious expression replaces the curious one from moments ago and she folds her arms.

"He told me." My voice came out in a whisper, not completely sure if I should've told her that. She suddenly pulled me into a tight hug and multiple squeals escaped her lips.

"I'm relieved." Her expression softened as she smiled brightly at me. 'You really love him uh?' Sometimes you need to sacrifice your happiness to see your best friend happy.

"But your relationship contract." I stared at her in confusion. "What about it?" She grabbed my hand pulling me closer.

"I can't date him unless you end the contract." I pressed my lips into a firm line and my mind became blank. "There's only 4 months left." Those words left my mouth without me even realizing it.

I felt something strange stir in the pit of my stomach. I've never felt something like this. Was it anxiety? Maybe I'm getting sick?

No, it couldn't be. This was something different. A sense of emptiness took hold of my body.

"y/n?" I glanced nervously at her. "What were you thinking about?" My mouth hung with lips slightly parted and my eyes were as wide as they could stretch.

"Nothing important." I gave her a reassuring smile and she eventually decided on not insisting any more.

"I think he's downstairs. Could you call him up so I can talk with him?" She begged and pouted at me.

Giving a small nod I went downstairs to call him. As I approached the living room my eyes catch a glimpse of him sitting on the sofa with the phone on his lap.

I remained leaning against the door as I watched him. As soon as he closed his eyes I took the opportunity to come closer.

I took in his well structured features. By the time his eyes opened again, I had still not recovered from his intense stare.

As much as I wanted to get away from him, his gaze was pulling me closer and I couldn't keep my distance from him. I wanted to put my trust in him but I couldn't.

Not when we were only 4 months away from never seeing each other again. All of this was temporary y/n. My subconscious reminded me.

I feel Yoongi's hand on my shoulder before he his close enough to reach, though when he makes contact his skin is cooler than I'd imagined.

There is a hint of curiosity on his eyes as he gazes at me. "What's wrong?" His voice is gentle and I suddenly feel nervous. "Yoona wants to talk with you." Something flashed beneath the surface of his softened expression and I hurried to investigate the sudden shift.

It was too late, the emotion disappeared before I could identify it, like reaching desperately for an escaped balloon, the string dangling so tantalizingly close but the wind pushed it away and it's lost forever.

His touch loosened on my shoulder as he looked away. "Alright." He said before going upstairs. I felt the same feeling as before but this time it was much stronger.

It was like he was getting further away from me. My body felt heavy, like I was fighting against my own feelings.

I'm sinking more and more into my own feelings and I know I'm going to end up hurting myself. But I can't ignore this hope growing inside of me.
