Rules // Bang Chan x Reader ♡

XIII.

The light coming from the window wakes me up and the first thing I do is look besides me. He's not there and I start to feel anxious. Was it a dream? Yesterday was the weirdest day of my life. My manipulative father wants me back to make my life sad and dark again. Meanwhile, Chris loves me back, and he is willing to break the rules just for me. I stand there and I enjoy the silence of the room. The silence I never got to enjoy during my childhood. The sound of things breaking filled my house when I was younger, and I will have to live that again. I decide to calm down and look for Chris. I need to tell him. He needs to know all of this. I stand up and I see a note on the table.
I know you don't like coffee so I got you this hot chocolate. I hope it reminds you of me. I love you and I don't expect you to say it back ;)
Chris x
I smile to myself. I don't get it. What did I do to deserve someone like him? I don't want to break his heart. I can't believe I am leaving him right now, when everything between us was starting to grow. But I know what I want. And I want him to be happy, and music makes him happy. I won't let my father ruin his career now that he worked so hard for it.
I sip the hot chocolate, and it does remind me of last night. I bite my lips and sigh while looking at myself in the mirror. His shirt looks good on me. I admire my body for a second.
-"Um hi?" — I turn around to meet a boy. I know him. He is one of the members, and I know it because Sian showed me the video. I don't know his name, though. He is observing me from the corner of the room. The young boy is wearing a black tracksuit, his hair is wet and he has a towel around his shoulders. "Can I help you?" — He says, walking towards me.
-"Who are you?"— I ask trying to cover myself up. My legs are exposed and I instantly feel shy under his gaze.
-"I should be the one asking that. You are in my house, you know." — He laughs and checks me out. I blush.
-"Uh, yeah, sorry. I'm y/n. Chan's friend." — I smile and he nods.
-"Nice to meet you. I'm Minho. Another friend of his." —We shake our hands. "What are you doing here, y/n?" —He asks, confused.
-"Well, uh, it's quite difficult to explain."—I bite my lip and he giggles.
-"Okay, I get it."— He winks at me while raising his eyebrows. "You two f-"
-"Minho!" — Chris appears and cuts his friend.
-"What? It's not what you think. Isn't she the girl who is supposed to film the video with us?" —Minho says and I frown.
-"Uh. Yeah. Yeah, yeah she is. Right, y/n?" — Chris smiles awkwardly and I nod.
-"Now everything makes sense. Well, I should probably take a shower now. Nice to meet you, y/n. You're a loser, Chan." — I laugh as he leaves the room.
-"He is such a prankster."— Chris gets close to me.
-"What video was he talking about?"—I tilt my head, waiting for an answer.
-"Oh. Our new song. We're going to film a video with a random girl on it. If they see you around here they have to think that you're gonna film with us. If they find out that we..."— I interrupt him. I don't wanna know the consequences of breaking the rules. "So make them think you are here to film with us, I want you close." — He adds and I nod.
-"Deal."

After Chris took a shower, we visit the company, as he shows me how everything works in this building. I walk while looking around, I don't want Sian to see me with him. Not now. He needs to go to practice soon, so we go to the cafeteria.
-"We bumped into each other right here."— He smiles and I nod.
-"I know."—I take a sip of my cup and my eyes meet his.
-"That was my lucky day."— He looks at me directly into my eyes while I look down smiling. "Everyday I'm with you is my lucky day."
-"Oh, come on. How cheesy." — I roll my eyes and he laughs.
-"I need to go, airport girl. I love you. I don't expect you to say it back." — He winks at me before leaving and I smile to myself again.
I can't do this. I'm playing with his heart. He doesn't know I'm leaving soon, and whenever I'm with him, it gets harder and harder to tell him the truth. Simply because I love him. And I can't tell him something like that. I need to find a way to escape, a way that doesn't involve hurting him or his feelings.

Wait. I know how.

I look outside while trying to think a way to make this work out. I have an idea. Its gonna hurt me, more than anything. But if that means I'm protecting him then I'm down for it. I take my phone and sigh.

You need to do it, y/n.

I need to do it. I text Haruto.

y/n: can we meet?
haruto <3 : um yeah? i'm free this weekend.
y/n: i mean like right now. at the jyp building.
haruto <3: omw

I go outside waiting for my friend. When he arrives I smile and I hug him but my face instantly reveals him I'm worried.
-"What's wrong?" — He raises up my chin and I look at him.
-"We're friends, right?"— He nods, confused and I continue speaking.
-"I need you to do something. I'm gonna be honest with you. I love him. I love Chris, and I want to protect him from what I am." — He still looks confused.
-"What do you mean? What do I have to do?"— He titls his head and I take a deep breath before saying:

-" Just kiss me when he comes out."
