⭐️ Bae Jinyoung (Part 2) ⭐️

"i still love you." jinyoung said quietly, but still audible for you to hear. your heart was definitely shattered. as much as you still loved him, you knew that he had to prioritise either you or his career, and you didn't want to be at risk for his fans.

you loved him too, but he just didn't know that.

and again, bae jinyoung was in your thoughts.

"miss y/n, could you pay attention please?" your english teacher, mrs kang says, staring at you.

"o-of course. sorry, miss.." you bowed your head, gulping. she stared at you before sighing, then returning to the lesson. some classmates looked at you quite shocked as you were a pretty good student, not really getting told off that often.

ever since yesterday, jinyoung couldn't be out of your mind. you were thinking about him for the last twenty four hours, and possibly this could be everyday. you knew that you were going to slack in your studies. if only this didn't happen..

ring ring!

"alright, it's time for break. i expect your homework by next week please, no excuses. now have a good day." mrs kang says, grabbing her things. "y/n, please see me."

"thank you, mrs kang!" your class says in union. once everyone leaves, you glance at the door and head to mrs kang.

"okay," mrs kang sighs, "y/n, are you okay?"

you were stunned by the question.

"o-of course, miss.." you said.

"mr lee was saying this morning you were acting quiet- we know as your teachers that you are not like this. is there something up?"

"n-no, of course not. i was daydreaming.. i'm sorry."

"oh." mrs kang says, "it's alright y/n. just pay attention, alright? and if you are having a tough time, we can help."

you nodded, "you may go."

"thanks.." you give her a smile before turning and walking to your locker.

"hey, y/n!" y/b/f/n jumps on your back as you chuckle.

"what's up?" y/b/f/n raises her eyebrows, "you look so miserable today. why don't you cheer up a lil bit. boss doesn't wanna see you like this."

"i'm fine." you said, taking a bite of your fruit bar, "stuff's just in my mind."

"like..."

"i saw jinyoung yesterday and he said he loves me but-" you say quickly, mumbling and gripping your backpack.

"woah woah," y/b/f/n said, "y/n, slow down."

you shyly rubbed your arm, "i saw... jinyoung yesterday.. we sort of uh, argued. i just didn't expect him to be in town, you know? he said he still loves me, but i don't know.."

"take him back!" y/b/f/n shouts.

"i mean uh, oh wow.. i'll support your decision." y/b/f/n flushes red and you squint your eyes at her.

"i wish it was that easy to take him back.." you play with your fingers. "i love jinyoung- but-"

"you're not ready." y/b/f/n finishes off, "jinyoung's a good guy- he treated you amazingly y/n. i understand it's hard, and that you never wanted to see him again, but i can tell jinyoung can't do this without you."

you nod, "i know, i know."

"take your time."

you quickly sprint your way back home, trying to avoid talking to anyone on the street. you had a shift until half past six, and you really hoped not to see jinyoung. and again, you saw his tall figure. you were screwed. you really did not want to see him after yesterday, and the way he looked at you before walking out made you a bit.. scared.

you had the duty of cleaning the tables once customers were finished today, so it wasn't as bad as facing jinyoung at the counters. he was sipping his usual with one of his close friends, lee daehwi. y/b/f/n took the counters thankfully and you began to clean and place the rubbish in the nearest bin.

"for god's sake." you muttered, spilling a frappucino cup on the floor, some of the leftovers splattered on the floor tiles.

"here, miss." a guy handed you the mop.

"a-ah.. thank you." you turn to him and bow. ah, daehwi..

"that's alright." he smiles. he walks back to the table where him and jinyoung are. you sigh before cleaning it up, trying not to slip over again.

the cafe becomes more emptier, and jinyoung and daehwi don't seem like they'll be leaving. your legs are pretty much sore and your back hurts from leaning against the tables so much.

"y/n-"

"excu- ah!" you jump, your heart racing. your feet lose balance, until you feel like you're going to fall. but luckily, strong arms guard you.

"i got you." you stare at the person.

"oh uhm... hi." you stutter, you can tell your face is red and you're embarrassed. it's jinyoung. again.

"are you okay?" jinyoung said, "the floor was slippery. i didn't mean to startle you-"

"i'm fine." you said, as jinyoung took your hand to stand you up. "thanks for uh, helping me.."

"it's okay.." jinyoung gave you a small smile, "listen, we really need to talk-"

"now is not the time. i have a shift to do." you sigh.

"what time does your shift end?" jinyoung follows you to the counter.

"none of your business."

you had no idea why you were acting so cold, but the thought of him breaking up with you again out of nowhere just made you think again.

"y/n.. please. hear me out." jinyoung says, "whether you like it or not, i'll be waiting for you after you end your shift."

you take a deep breath.

-

"i-i'm uh, staying.. i need to talk to a worker." jinyoung said to daehwi.

"about what?" daehwi laughs, "to that worker?" he pointed at you. "she's pretty cute."

"no no.. the manager.. my uh, coffee's really bad?" jinyoung made an excuse and daehwi shrugged, "hm, okay. this cafe does good quality drinks though."

"they screwed up my order," jinyoung says as daehwi chuckles.

your shift was over, but you wanted to stay in the cafe for a little bit longer. the sun was setting down and it looked incredibly beautiful. you found yourself humming to the music you were playing on your phone, watching the clouds go by.

"hey," jinyoung sits opposite you, "do you mind?"

you nod, "i guess. i was about to leave anyways." you stand up and put your phone and earphones in your bag.

"y/n, hear me out." jinyoung held your wrist.

"look, jinyoung, hearing you out is going to make my heart break more." you mutter, closing your eyes and breathing heavily.

"just listen to me, please." jinyoung looks at you. you sigh before sitting back down.

"y/n, i still love you.. and you know that." jinyoung starts, "i..i regretted not being with you while being on the show.. i just.. lost my confidence and you weren't there to help me."

"i'm still proud of you for getting through it, though.. but you really hurt me when you said we're breaking up because of a show. your career is important but the way you said it seemed like... you prioritised work more." you said, "and i want to love you again..."
