Her wish, His command

Tired • Chapter 11

The girls stared at Y/N just staring into nothing on the couch. It had been exactly two hours since he just showed up and plopped on the couch, not acknowledging the presence of the others.

"We should do something. He has been sitting there for so long just day dreaming. Do you think something happened?" Kotori whispered.

"Definitely. He came without Tzuyu and he looks really bad. It's most likely.. him." Mina whispered back.

Jihyo nodded. "Someone should talk to him. He doesn't look all that great. His heart is shattered."

"Let me." Sana pushed past the girls and sat next to him. "Y/N?" She called out, and his gaze flickered from whatever he was staring from to Sana.

"Sana." Y/N said, his voice hoarse and croaky. "Do you think I've been a bad boyfriend to Tzuyu?"

Sana glanced at the others. "No! Of course you haven't. You've been nothing but be a sweetheart, even to the rest of us."

Y/N closed his eyes, the tears he held back for so long finally fell. "I-I guess it wasn't enough. It didn't stop Tzuyu from loving that guy again, because it happened. I saw them.. kissing each other like I never existed." More tears fell from remembering what happened only a few hours prior. "I guess I'm what people call a.. rebound."

Sana covered her mouth, speechless at what Tzuyu had done to him. She glanced at the others, who also didn't know what to do with the information that they were just given. She pulled him in for a hug, stroking his hair in an attempt to comfort him. She knew how much Tzuyu meant to him, and her just throwing and tossing him to one side as just another option is just terrible. Tzuyu was a savage, but this was too much.

He didn't fight Sana's hug. He just needed comfort. He needed someone to tell him that everything was going to be okay.

Even though, deep down, he knew that it wasn't.

The others soon joined in on the hug, and it was too much even for Y/N. "G-Girls. I'm going to suffocate to death."

"Sorry!" They apologized.

Y/N wiped his face and chuckled. "Thank you all. Really. If not for you girls, I'd be in a much darker state. Well, I suppose I've got to move on. I'm a mere butler, after all."

"Are you certain you didn't see something else instead and started overthinking?" Kotori asked.

"I know what I saw. I don't think seeing my now ex girlsfriend's lips on the lips of her old flame is overthinking." He said. "I just wished she told me about how she truly felt, and not have me find out like this. I don't really want to go back there. Could I stay here for the time being? I'm sure that guy has it all figured out."

"Of course you can. I'm sorry, Onii-chan. I didn't realise Tzuyu would still have feelings for her old boyfriend. He was her first boyfriend, after all. We'd thought maybe he had broken her, but we were wrong. Maybe something else happened and she lied to us." Kotori added.

"Thank you. I just need time to process everything and get her out of my head." He murmured.

"You can sleep in my room!" Sana suggested, and everyone glared at her. "What?! There's an empty bed in there, and none of you girls would like to share a room with me."

Y/N patted Sana's head. "Thank you so much. I just need some time alone for now. I'm sorry." He smiled before disappearing into her room.

The others stared at the door he closed behind him before glancing at each other.

"I feel so bad for Onii-chan. When he was sent away, he kept asking about Tzuyu the most and if she was alright. We planned everything, to the letters and even the fan meet where Y/N returned, and now she goes ahead and does this." Kotori gritted her teeth.

"None of us expected Tzuyu to do this. We're going to need to talk to her." Jihyo sighs. "But not now. We need Y/N to be alright first."

"What should we do? He has always been so nice to us." Chaeyoung wondered. "My tiger cub plushie.."

It wasn't until the front door opened to reveal the person they were talking about, along with Zheyang. "Where is he." Tzuyu said, firmly.

Kotori growled. "You've got some nerve asking for where he is after everything you've done. Leave."

Tzuyu frowned. "I don't remember asking the maid. I'm asking people that matter."

"Talk about my sister like that again and I'll show you what doesn't matter." A calm, yet dangerous voice threatened Tzuyu. It was Y/N, leaning against the wall with crossed hands. "And you brought along your boyfriend. What a family reunion."

"Don't speak to your master like that." Zheyang stepped forward, but Tzuyu pulled him back.

"We need to talk." She said, softening her gaze towards Y/N.

"We really don't. I've figured it all out already. I just wished you told me. I'd have understood, but you just had to make me find out this way." Y/N started.

"I-"

"Save it. I completely understand. It's over between us. I'm just a butler. You don't have to worry about me any more, because I'm still learning to do so. You got your heart broken by him. You didn't have to do the same to me. Leave please. Bring him with you." Y/N closed his eyes.

Tzuyu was crying at this point, and you didn't know why. It was all her fault anyway. She had no reason to feel sad. She got her old boyfriend back. She lied to Y/N. She made him feel like just another thing to her. She didn't know what to do. "Y/N.."

Zheyang hugged her comfortingly and started leading her out, glaring back at Y/N. She broke out of his grip and ran to hug Y/N, but was stopped midway by his arms stretched out. He looked close to crying. "Don't do this. Not right now. You toyed with me. Don't come back." He let her go and went back into Sana's room.

Tzuyu was crying hysterically and could be dragged out by Zheyang now. Kotori went up after them and slammed the door. She was shaking with anger. "What a bitch. She drives me insane. I've never seen Y/N so harsh.. and broken."

There was silence in the living room for about ten minutes straight before Sana developed an idea. "Should we just go camping without Tzuyu? It will be good to get his mind off of Tzuyu."

Jihyo thought about this idea and slowly nodded. "Yeah.. that sounds good. We can go camping in the hills. Let's do it. But we need to give Y/N space for now."

In the room, he was crying as silently as possible, constantly wiping his tears with his sleeves. He needed to not care about Tzuyu. He needed to forget everything they did together. It was all lies.

He just didn't know how to.
