Chapter Twenty-Two: If There's A Shadow, There Must Be A Light

One for the fame, one for the game
I don't care when, just like them
One for the way, I'm gonna take
Wherever you are, sing this song
Even if it gets farther away
I can't stop
Even dark shadows
Only exist with light

Chapter Twenty-Two: If There's A Shadow, There Must Be A Light

"You."

"M-Me?" (Y/N) stutters.

Chan hums and starts walking again. The girl wants to say something, but is too nervous and scared to. Plus, she doesn't know what to say.

The walk to Seungmin's place is short. Chan and (Y/N) part ways, him walking to his room, (Y/N) to Seungmin's.

She jumps down on Seungmin's bed and buries her head in his pillow, letting out a muffled scream.

Seungmin walks in and freezes upon seeing his best friend laying flat on his bed, head in his pillow.

"What's up with you?" He asks, taking his tie off.

A muffled set of words leaves her lips again and Seungmin rolls his eyes.

"Wow, I can totally understand you with your face in my pillow," he says sarcastically.

(Y/N) groans and lifts her head to repeat her words. "Chan said he likes me."

Immediately, the male's jaw drops, along with his tie, which was previously in his hand.

"What? When?"

(Y/N) frowns. "When I caught up with him," she admits.

"And you tell me this now?! SPILL!."

"Well, basically, at lunch, when we were studying and Hyunjin came in and interrupted us, it was because Chan wanted to tell me about wanting to break up with Cierra. I only know this now because while we were walking just now, Chan told me this and said he liked someone else. I asked him about it and he said me!" She rushes in what seems to be one breath.

A high-pitched squeal sounds from Seungmin's lips, causing (Y/N) to wince.

"Anyways, we haven't spoken since then and I'm really nervous now," she adds.

"Okay," Seungmin starts, taking a deep breath, "I understand that you're nervous, but breathe, okay?"

With a nod, the girl begins to do as her best friend suggests.

She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes.

"Good. Now what are you going to say to him? What about Minho hyung?"

"I don't know what I'm going to say to Chan—" Her eyes almost pop out of her head, "Oh, my gosh! Minho! How could I forget?" She groans and slams her head onto the pillow again repeatedly.

"Well," Seungmin says, sitting next to her, "Do you like Minho?"

"You know I do, Minnie!"

"I know, but I just wanted to confirm that your crush for Minho still stands."

Another groan leaves (Y/N)'s lips in frustration.
"What do I do?" She cried. "I have a date with him on Friday!"

"Dang it," Seungmin mumbles, "Alright, then. Maybe you have to find out which one you like the most."

"Or should I tell them both? Well, Minho already knows I like Chan, but does Chan know I like Minho? Damn it!"

"Or maybe a polyamorous relationship," Seungmin says with a smirk.

(Y/N) rolls her eyes jokingly. "Alright, you, hush."

"But serious, (Y/N), you need to talk to him. Talk to both of them. Let them know what's going on and maybe you'll just know who you want to be with."

"Maybe?"

"You'll know," Seungmin tells her, caressing her hair.

The teenage girl sighs. "Alright...if you say so..."

One hour later

After much contemplation of her life decisions, (Y/N) (L/N) decides to haul her lazy butt off of Seungmin's (now empty, since Seungmin decided to ditch her to get food with Hyunjin) bed, out of his room and in front of Chan's door.

She brings her clenched fist to the door, but almost as if forced, it halts when she's about to knock.

Closing her eyes and letting out a deep breath, (Y/N) repeats some words of confidence and determination to herself: "I can do this."

With an encouraging nod, she's about to knock on Chan's door, but it swings open, startling the girl. She's met with a confused Bang Chan.

"(Y/N)?"

"Oh," said girl laughs nervously, "Hey, Chris."

Without another word, Chan grabs her hand and drags her into his room. "Do you need something?" He asks when he sits her on the bed, joining afterwards.

"Uh, yeah..."

The male raises his eyebrows in expectation, heartbeat maybe a little erratic.

"I wanted to talk...about us."
