Love Yourself

Tear: 7

When we got to their dorm, they sat me in the sofa and Jin came over with a glass of water. I downed it so fast I started coughing.

"Y/n! Careful!" Tae patted me on the back.

"So what happened?" Namjoon asked.

He had walked out of his room and stood next to Jin.

"Y/n had a scare so we brought her home."

Jin patted Jimin on the back and smiled.

"I should go guys. I hate to impose."

"You're not imposing y/n! In fact, stay longer!" Tae whined.

"Well I really do need to get home..."

"It's ok guys, y/n lives really close to my place so I'll walk her home ok?"

"Thanks Yoongi," Jin said.

I grabbed my bag that Jimin so kindly had carried. I waved to all the boys, minus Jungkook, who was probably still at cram school.

When we left the house, I turned to Yoongi.

"You don't actually have to walk me home. I'll be fine."

"I didn't ask you if you were ok with it, did I?"

I pouted as he kept walking by my side.

"So. Do you still consider them your friends?"

"I mean—I guess...It's just that I've been with them for years, so suddenly saying that I'm not feels wrong."

"But they clearly don't treat you right."

"It's more like they're interested in slightly different things."

"Just rant."

"There's nothing to rant about! It's just that every time I do something they comment about it or give me looks, but when they say the same exact thing, they expect me to laugh! I literally do what they do and they still get upset! And right before I left, they thought I couldn't hear them, but I heard them and they were saying I was being extra! How is that extra! I have a phobia and don't like a-ants. I just can't take it! And on top of that, they go to the mall and say they were going to ask me, but I seemed busy so they didn't. I said I was busy ONCE. Half the time I feel like I'm invisible and that they don't care..."

"And there's nothing to rant about?"

"Shut up."

"I'm always right."

"No you're not."

"Fine. Whatever you say..."

We made our way to my front door. I opened it and motioned Yoongi in.

"It's fine. I think you have a guest anyway." Yoongi motioned to the shoes inside the door.

"Oh come on!"

"Yeah! Please don't bother with me. Any friend of y/n's is a friend of mine!"

I whipped my head around to see the most important person in my life.

"Aera! Oh my god when did you come?"

"A little after lunch. Your mom's in the kitchen. Oh, and gonna introduce me to your boyfriend?"

I turned to look at a once pale Yoongi who was now turning a painful shade of red. I burst out laughing as he glared at me.

"No. He's not my boyfriend. Just a friend. His name's Yoongi."

Aera made an 'o' shape with her mouth.

"And who are you?" Yoongi asked Aera.

"I'm your friend's cousin!"
