Rules // Bang Chan x Reader ♡

VII.

Even when people turn away, we aren't lonely
As long I stay with my heart
I can rely on a broken compass.

The three boys smiled, sitting on the studio's couch.

-"Woah, it is really good." -Jisung said, bopping his head to the beat of the song.

-"It is. This wouldn't have been possible without you guys." - Chris said, looking at his friends. He felt really proud of himself but at the same time he was very tired. He stayed up all night to finish the song, but he told his friends to go to sleep, he wanted to be a good leader. Chris would work hard for it. The boy thought about thanking Hyunjin. He helped him telling him y/n's story. Chan stood up once the song was finished.

-"Where are you going, hyung? You need to sleep." -Changbin said, worried.

-"Don't worry about me, i'm ok. I just need to deal with some issues"- The boy said with sleepy voice.

He left the studio to look for Hyunjin. He knew where he would find him. His friend liked to practice early in the morning. Chris walked through the halls until he reached the dance practice and he softly knocked the door. He could listen the music coming from the inside so he entered.
Hyunjin was indeed practicing and he stopped when he saw Chan's reflection in the mirror.

-"You are doing well."- The leader said with a proud smile on his face.

-" Ah thank you." -Hyunjin said, grabbing a towel from a table. "What brings you here? You look tired, hyung." -He added, cleaning his sweat off.

-"Yeah well, just wanted to thank you for inspiring me." - Chris patted Hyunjin's head.

-"It wasn't me Chan, she did." - Hyunjin said, smiling.

-"Well. You helped me too, thank you."- Chris said, nervous.

-"No need to thank me this fast. I might have done something you won't like." -Hyunjin said, looking down.

-"Something like what?"- Chan said worried.

-"I called her."- The young boy said, looking at Chan's eyes.

Y/n's pov

I looked at my reflection. I then collected my hair back in a ponytail and started to do my make up. My face had dark circles under my eyes and they were red from crying.

-"Y/n?."- Haruto said, knocking the door.

-"Come in."-I answered, rubbing my eyes.

-"I made breakfast." -He said, entering the room.
He looked great. Those sweatpants fit him so well and his hair looked messy but still good.

-"Thank you. Let me finish my make up first." -I offered a small smile and the boy nodded and left the room.

Yesterday was a strange day . I remember how sad and empty I felt. But somehow, at the end of the day Haruto made me feel better. I didn't have a place to go but he offered his house. I hesitated at first but finally accepted his offer. So I ended here, talking about my life with Haruto and sleeping on his sofa. Last night, he must've thought I would sleep better in his room so he instantly carried me to his bed while I was sleeping. He of course slept in his couch instead.
When I woke up I didn't know where I was. And that somehow made me feel happy. Seoul really changed me. Not even two months my dad used to forbid me everything yet here I am, sleeping in a stranger's house because I fought with my childhood best friend.
I took my phone and played the voicemail.

"Hey, y/n. I know you probably don't want to talk to me but-"

I stopped the message. I don't want to hear from Sian. I felt like I don't know who my friend is anymore.
Another message played and my whole body froze.

"H-hey y/n, it's Hyunjin. Haruto sent me your number i hope you don't mind. I know this is probably weird but I have to show you something so call me when you hear this."

My heart started to beat faster.

He had to show me something? But what?

I looked at myself in the mirror again and went downstairs to meet with Haruto. He offered me coffee and I thanked him.

-"Thank you for this, Haruto. I promise i'll find a new place to stay tonight i don't want to bother you anymore." - I said, finishing the coffee.

-"It's ok. You are a great company. You know you can stay here if you want to." - He answered, with a big smile on his face.

I thanked him again.
What did I do to deserve someone like him? I met him two days ago but I feel like i've known him forever. Why can't my heart like him instead? Why is my heart so obsessed with Chris?

-"Could you perhaps drive me somewhere?" -I asked.

-"Of course."

I came back to Haruto's room and called Hyunjin. He told me he would meet me at the jyp building.
I started to get nervous. Did something bad happen to Sian? No, he just wanted to show me something. I tried to calm down and went downstairs again. Haruto was waiting for me with the car keys on his hand.

-"Ready?"- He asked and I instantly nodded.

The journey was great. We were silent but unlike yesterday, our silence was now comfortable.
Once we both reached the building, I started to feel anxious.
I don't want to see Sian here because I don't know what to say anymore. She hurt me and I hurt her. It was a toxic friendship and as long as it hurts me to admit it, it's over. I already forgave many things through my entire life and i'm not willing to do so anymore.

-"Why are we here?"- Haruto asked, raising his eyebrows.

Hyunjin then appeared and told us to follow him. We walked through the corridors until we reached a room.

-"Please." - Hyunjin let me through and I nodded, entering the room.
I looked back but no one entered with me. Instead, Hyunjin closed the door behind me and I started to shake. What is this? Is Sian here? I don't want to talk to her. I look around and realize this is a studio.

What?

-"Hello."- A voice said.

It was him.
