❇️Chapter 26: The Talk❇️

YOUR POV

Two days have passed and Marco and Jean are still avoiding each other.

Right now, I'm having lunch with Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, Christa,Ymir,Hanji and Levi.

While Sasha and Connie are sitting with Jean and on the other hand, Eren, Mikasa, Armin are sitting with Marco.

I let out a sigh as I continue watching them.

I pull out my phone and decided to text Marco to see if he's alright.

'RIIING'

Lunch is over.

"Hey guys, do any of you have classes with Jean?" I ask them.

"Me, Christa and Annie." Reiner said. "Why?"

"Tell him to meet me here after school. And try to convince him if he refuses, please?" I begged.

"Okay,okay. We'll tell him."

"Thanks, I should get going. Bye." I said as I grab my stuff and left.

"Bye (Y/n)!" They said.

I wave back at them and continue walking.

~Later~

'RIIING'

Class is finally over. I pack my stuff and exit the classroom and on my way to back to the cafeteria.

Once I arrive at the cafeteria, there's no sign of Jean. I sit down and wait for him to come.

~Later~

I'm almost on the verge of giving up. I decided to go and look for Jean. I stand up and turn around.

But then Jean is standing there right in front of me.

"Hey." He said, not looking at me.

"Jean, hi." I said. "Come on, sit with me."

He nodded and sit down.

"So how are you?" I ask him.

"Same as always. You?"

"Okay... I guess. So listen, Jean... I think you know why I ask you to meet me here." I began.

"Is this about Marco, right?" He ask, not looking at me again.

"Yes. Look Jean, I think you two should just talk and work things out. You guys are never like this. And to be honest, this is the first time... I've seen you this angry. And listen, I just want you to know that the whole thing is my fault." I said.

"What?" Jean said, looking at me." (Y/n), how can this be your fault?"

"Let me explain. Me and Marco are not a thing. This is the real story behind all that. I tripped on something and this made me and Marco, who's trying to catch me, fall to the ground. I open my eyes and I didn't realize that we're in that kind of... position. And of course, being the stupid and forgetful person that I can be, the garage doors are wide open. Then paparazzi showed up and took those photos of us. I told them to go away and close the garage doors. We didn't do anything else. That's it." I explained.

"Oh..." Jean said as he looks down. "Damn it." He said.

I let out a sigh.

"Jean?" I call for his attention but he didn't look up. "Jean, look at me." I cupped his cheek and lift his head up.

"I know you're upset and you regret what you've said to Marco." I said. "Do you hate Marco?"

"What? No. I don't hate him. I would never hate him. Why would you ask such a thing?"

"Cause he thought that you hate him. But I told him that you will never hate him. And I was right. You only said those things to him because you were angry and a little bit hurt. And you thought that he betrayed you. But you know that he's not that kind of person, right?"

He nodded.

"See. So, why not just talk to him and work things out?" I suggest.

"I don't know... He probably doesn't want to talk to me anymore." He said, looking down again.

"Hey, hey. Look at me." I said as I cupped my hands on both sides of his face. "Don't think negative. Of course, he still want to talk to you. He just need closure. Just hold that tiny hope in yourself. Just talk to him. There's always room for second chances."

"I guess you're right. Thank you (Y/n)." He said as he grab one of my hands and kiss it.

I giggle as I playfully punch his shoulder. "Stop it. And you're welcome." I said as I stand up and pull him into a hug. He was startled at first but a few seconds later, he hugs back.

"So, when do you want to talk to him?" I ask Jean.

"Now. I want to talk to him right now." He said.

"Well,we can talk right here, right now." A voice from behind,said.

We turn around and we realized it's Marco.

"I'll give you guys some privacy. I'll be on that table, okay?" I said to them.

They nodded and I whispered to Jean; "You can do it."

Then they sit down and talk.

~A few minutes later~

I watch them talking and it looks like they're back being friends again. I smile as the two of them hug each other.

Then Marco motioned me to join them. I grab my bag and walk towards them.

"Thanks for your help (Y/n)." Marco said.

"Yeah, we really appreciate it." Jean said.

"Well, I'm glad to help. And I'm also glad you two are friends again." I said.

Then they pulled me into a hug. A very tight one.

"Marco... Jean... Can't... breathe..." I said, trying to get some air.

"Oh, sorry." They said in unison as they break the hug.

"It's fine." I said.

They let out a chuckle and they kiss both sides of my cheek. Marco on the left and Jean on the right.

I let out a giggle. "So, let's go home?"

They both nodded and then we left the cafeteria.

'I'm glad this fight didn't last long. Now everything is back into one piece.'

Unknown POV

"(Y/n)(L/n) and her new boyfriend exposed?" I read the title of the number five most trending topic.

"So... (Y/n) has a new boyfriend now? Oh, what a shame. But I'll come back for her as soon as possible." I pull out my phone and contact 'someone'. And that 'someone' is a dear friend of my father.

"Hello, Mr. (L/n). This is Zachary. Yeah, long time, no see. I just want to let you know that I'm going to visit you in a few days." I said. "Oh and don't tell (Y/n), I want to surprise her. Okay, see you in a few days and have a goodnight Mr. (L/n)." I hang up and look out from my hotel window, admiring the view and pull out a photo of me and (Y/n).

"I'll see you soon,(Y/n)."
