The Spoken Secrets

Chapter 17

Seven's POV

It took around an hour and a half for a new window to be installed that Saeran broke. I paid for the cost. It's probably best V didn't know that Saeran had caused damage to her apartment. Although...

V still hasn't called me...

For the entire time I was waiting for the window to be finished I found myself pondering about Saeran. I didn't have a clue where Saeran was, but V reassured me that he was safe. Seeing how he just acted.... something definitely had gone wrong.

Saeran was no longer the kind and loving brother he was as a child. He changed. Like something had possessed him deep within letting out an enteral darkness. What has me baffled is what he said.

"Traitor!"

Traitor? What was he talking about? It sounded like he was upset, like I left him high and dry with our mother. That wasn't true since I had V and Rika taking care of him while I was out trying to make money for the both of us.

Subconsciously I found myself sighing repeatedly. I take my eyes off the road for a moment and glance towards Y/n. Her elbow was leaning against the frame of the window holding up her head as she watched the scene before her pass by.

Right.

Another problem.... Y/n hasn't said a word since we argued. She appears extremely upset.... I wanted to tell her everything, but me opening my mouth could come with a cost. It may cost me my life or worse... hers. If there was one thing I promised V, it was to protect Y/n with all that I had and I planned on keeping it, but not just that but because she's an amazing person.

If you look up the definition of "angel"
Y/n's name would be there for sure. If not I'll make it appear through my ability to play with zeros and ones! Ah- I'm just trying to cheer myself up at this point.

I'm pathetic.

I can't even keep Y/n happy. Even though my heart yearns to always be around her, to hear her soft voice, to see her gentle smile, to feel her touch.... I knew I didn't deserve any of it. I was nothing but a dirty cockroach waiting to die, as I should.

Suddenly Y/n's face pops into my mind, her lips smiling ear to ear. Y/n probably would comfort me if she knew what I was thinking. Gosh, I need to do something! Glancing back to Y/n I reach out a hand towards her's that laid on her lap, but  hesitate.

Luciel, no. You're making this hard on yourself you want to protect Y/n not hurt her more by luring her into your life. For some reason I ignore my thoughts and held her small hand in my own. I quickly focus my eyes back on the road as Y/n shifted her gaze towards me. My cheeks were on fire and I repeated to myself that I made a stupid move and Y/n was going to push me away.

Suddenly I felt Y/n give my hand a gentle squeeze. Glancing out of the corner of my eyes I notice Y/n's face reflecting in the window. She was....smiling. A smile spread on my face and a wave of relief stirred above me.

I was aware that me being selfish was a bad mistake. This wasn't like me, but it also felt nice... like this. It feels like my worries have slightly lifted. Y/n, I always say that I'm some kind of 707, but you always 606 my thoughts. If things weren't as complicated as they are I would hold you all day and night.

Y/n's POV

On the car ride home I thought Luciel and I had drawn our swords at each other, but when he suddenly held my hand I was corrected. I couldn't even say anything to him my heart was pounding out of rhythm, I almost panicked when my heart would skip a beat.
