US: Kim Yugyeom X Reader [DISCONTINUED]

31 | Friends

"But why Yugyeom?" Yugyeom asks Hana confused.

"Huh?"

"Why did you name him after me if Jinyoung's the father?"

"Jinyoung wasn't the one I was in love with, Yugyeom. You were..." She says staring into his eyes.

I watch them look deeply into each other's eyes and all those emotions I felt back then came rushing back.

"...I needed one thing to remind me of home..."

Home? Excuse me but he's MY HOME...

Yugyeom sits in between us and I can't help but feel like the third wheel. It's always felt like that, even though I know Yugyeom's heart.

I fake cough, "Well, why don't we go find Jinyoung then. Where's Jinyoung today? Why don't we give him a call? Shall we? Let's do that. Let's give him a call." I nervously say, trying to find my phone.

"Where's my phone?!"

While I frantically look for my phone, Hana gets up and sits next to me. She takes the hand that's not holding Yuji into hers and holds it in her lap.

"Jia ssi~" I look up surprised. "I want to apologise."
She tells me.

"For what?" I act dumb.

"Don't pretend..." I breath out a long breath as she looks down.

"I am so sorry." She looks back up at me. "For everything. For saying what I said to you back then and basically threatening you. For always flirting with him. For kissing him, knowing you were watching. For letting you believe we slept together..." I don't know if this apology is making me feel better or worse.

"...Just, for always hurting you, when all you wanted to do was come and visit your boyfriend at college in peace. I-I just don't know what came over me. I think that deep down I knew that he would never like me back or love me like he loved-, loves you. I was mad and jealous of you and you must hate me for it. I'm sorry."

Gosh, why was Yugyeom right. She is a nice girl after all.

All these years, I've wanted to shout at her and tell her how everything she put me through felt. I wanted to make her feel the same why I did. She made me feel small and unloved and always anxious about whether Yugyeom ever loved me. She made me feel lonely and angry and like I could never get out of the slump I was in while Yugyeom and I were broken up. I wanted her to experience that. I wanted her to feel broken-hearted.

But now, I know she was. She was broken-hearted. Someone she loved didn't love her back. Just like how I made Jinyoung feel. She couldn't help it and I understand that.

"Thank you, Hana ssi. But it's okay. I don't hate you. Yes, you did all those things and it really hurt me but it's in the past now. I forgive you. So let go of all the guilt you've been feeling and let's find Jinyoung." I reassure her with a smile and she lets out a smile of relief in return.

"But if you ever touch him again, I'll-"

"-Jagi!" Yugyeom shouts at me.

"Gyeom ah, it's fine." She laughs. "I deserve it. But don't worry, Jia ssi. Like you said, he's in the past. I don't even know what I saw in this dork anyways."

"To be honest, I don't know what I see in the this dork either." I joke.

"Ya! What is this?!" He points at both of us.

We look at each other and laugh. I get up and stretch out my hand towards Yugyeom. He gladly takes it and gets up, putting his arm around me as our fingers interlock. He places a kiss on my forehead and takes Yuji from me, putting her back in the baby carrier.

"Oh, do you guys have to go now?" Hana asks.

I reach out my hand again but towards her this time. She gives me a confused look but takes it anyways. I give her a warm smile.

"Come on. Let's go find Jinyoung..."

Um...are we friends now?

Do you think Hana's being genuine?
Or do you think it's all an act? 🤔
