✔Invisible Friendzone | BTS Seokjin

•Grownups•

★Jackson POV★

She was my best friend. The person I had fallen in love with deeply.

Y/N was beautiful in so many ways, and even though we had a rocky start, we became each other's everything.

I would often take her to class, hug her when she cried, and cook her meals. Every day seemed like a new adventure at her side. She was kind-hearted but broken, a girl so fragile yet strong. I knew she cried her self to sleep half the time, her puffy eyes giving her away every time. I'd often console her, I'd often sing her to sleep, I'd often stay by her side until she didn't need me anymore to be able to continue her day on her own.

Buying dumplings together after class or maybe running down the street on a rainy day. I didn't know when I had fallen in love.

Maybe I didn't realize how deep in the friendzone I was but I was willing to continue at her side even if she'd often laugh and say I acted like a mother. Her words hurt me, but I'd accept the pain as long as I had her company.

Her sad smile always followed her jokes.

She was never the same after that night.

Her tears were always the same, full of pain and anger.

My words always fell on deaf ears.

She never wanted to get better, I knew she wanted to stay in the same place, stuck in her everlasting sorrow. She wanted someone to blame, someone to hate, someone she could rage against and curse in her darkest of days, but I knew the truth. 

She had closed herself off to all reason still here I sat, loving the broken mess of a heart she had blocked off from everyone. 

After months, she still was the same, an empty fragment of a person. A shell of a woman. 

"Jackson!!"

I looked over at her, her short hair moving left and right in the wind.

It was in high school when I first realized I was in love with this girl. Yeah, it was high school.

She was perfect to me in so many ways even if to the world she was everything but that. She was kind beyond belief and yet her broken heart made me want to protect her.

Her smile, would I ever see her real smile genuinely?

Sitting across from her, the small restaurant we sat in was one we spent our weeks at often. She hated going home, and I hated letting her go. I did my best to keep her at my side as much as I could, being scared that the next time I'see her, she'd be back to the state she was when she first found out about her parents. I kept her by my side as long as I could. It was a prison, the place she now called home. It was a place full of hate and sadness, and the small progress I had made with her always reverted when ever she went back to her uncle's place.

"Jackson, I was thinking of...moving out next year," she unexpectedly said between bites of food.

It took me a second to process everything, my eyebrows raising at her statement.

"Yes, leave. Come with me and let's live together!" I blurted out without thinking.

"Jackson, I don't think you understand. I want to live on my own. Away from my past. Maybe I'm too young to think this, but I don't believe being near anyone who represents my past will be beneficial to me. I love you, I do, but I can't be by your side," she said, looking down at her food and avoiding my eyes.

I felt as if someone had shot my heart.

How was I supposed to argue against that?

She was not wrong.

I simply had to accept it, however, this just made it seem like she was running away from her past instead of facing it. But if it helped her, who was I to stop her?

Little did I know that that little plan of hers would never come to happen.

If only I hadn't been late.

If only I hadn't told her the truth.

If only I hadn't been desperate to keep her by my side.
