Can't Believe It [An BTS×ATEEZ×Reader FANFICTION] (Completed)✔

19: The Dongsaeng's Confrontation

[A/N:Listening to a song that shows relief after a storm and a little feeling in it will suit this chapter well. Enjoy😀]

But before I could even react, I was suddenly held in a tight embrace by someone out of nowhere.

I was trying to understand what just happened to me, when a familiar voice filled with worry and anxiety spoke up, which caused my cheeks to heat up like the bowl of chicken soup he had made for me,

"Noona, where were you? I've been looking for you all over Gangnam-do and you weren't even picking up your phone!"

I somehow tried to pump down all the fluttering feelings within me as I broke the embrace and looked up at him with a smirk and asked,

"You've been looking for me? Since when did Park Seonghwa start to look around for me?"

He looked away from me immediately and said while rubbing his nape and looking like he didn't care about me,

"I didn't do it alone. Hongjoong also did so. Why don't you ask him?"

I then looked back at Hongjoong as he came out of the café, wearing the café apron with relief in his face. I gave him a questioning look to assure if Seonghwa was telling the truth and he replied,

"Yeah, I looked around with him. But he was way more worri.."

Whatever Hongjoong was about to say got muffled as Seonghwa suddenly closed his mouth with his hands. I couldn't help but laugh at that. But as I caught my breath by laughing on these two cute boys, suddenly they both stiffened up at the sight of something behind me.

Or worse. Someone.

I looked back to see Seokjin standing in front of the driver's side of the car with the door of his seat wide open. He was looking at us three as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Suddenly Hongjoong asked me with confused and angry eyes,

"What were you doing with him, noona? Are you already going out with him?"

I was just shocked at what he just asked me. But I was rather more flustered as he asked that thing right in front of Seonghwa like it was nothing.

NO! I don't want Seonghwa to know about all this!! Not here, not now and NEVER like this!!!!

I just looked at Hongjoong in the eye and indicated my eyes at Seonghwa to make him go inside. Luckily Hongjoong got that and said,

"Seonghwa-ya, can you please go inside the café and wait? It'll take us a while to come in."

Seonghwa gave me a questioning look and I immediately replied,

"We'll explain it to you later."

Luckily, he walked into the café without asking anymore questions. I then looked back at Hongjoong as he was giving an angry glare at me.

As he is younger than me, he always respects me. But this was the first time he ever looked down at me. So I was shocked to the extent that I felt I may pass out again. But suddenly Seokjin spoke up,

"Nothing happened between..."

He was explaining but suddenly, he went into a pause as Hongjoong showed him his left hand to stop. He then looked at Seokjin with a more fierce angry glare than he gave me and said,

"I didn't ask you. I only asked her. Tell me, noona."

I felt so suffocated at that time. I just want to get out of this moment as soon as possible. I replied as soon as Hongjoong finally looked back at me,

"He's saying the truth, Hongjoong. Nothing like that happened between us. He just wanted to talk with me. So, he drove me to a place to talk just after I got out of the campus and then he dropped me off here."

It was the truth. There is nothing more to that. He did really drive me all the way to a cliff just to talk with me. Now Hongjoong calmed his stare at me as he saw the truth within my eyes. He then looked back at Seokjin with the same stare before and said,

"Look, many people are facing trouble already because of you and your parents. So, I'd suggest that you, please, stay away from her and the café."

I could tell without even looking that Seokjin was completely stunned by Hongjoong's words.

But that is the truth. I have to now explain Mr. Jo, Taehyung and Seonghwa about the reason of my absence, and I feel like I'll faint in a while.

And, the worst thing is that I have to do is to tell Seonghwa why did Hongjoong ask about me going out with Seokjin. 

Seokjin is causing hazard in all of my friends' and my own life.

So, I will, from now on, try to keep my distance from him.

I just gave him a glare to leave as he stared at me to know what I was thinking about all this. Luckily, he didn't cause any more ruckus and left in his Mercedes.

I looked at Hongjoong as he was staring at Seokjin's car while it turned at the intersection ahead. I had never seen him this mad and be this rude to someone. I touched his shoulder, which caused him to soften his stare and look at me as I asked,

"Hongjoong-ah, how can I thank you for being such a good friend of mine?"

He then relaxed himself and gave me a faint smile as he replied,

"Don't. Because in friendship, there is no sorry and no thank you. But you still have to explain why in the blizzards were you with that guy?"

I just smiled at him and I walked into the café with him as I replied,

"Yeah, I most definitely will."

But I lost my smile as I realized what I have to face now. And this is, by far, one of the worst things that I had to do in my life.

Assuming I may have many other moments coming up for me in the future to judge the severity of this moment.

[A/N: So...... This is actually the beginning of  all the chemistry you guys you will get to see between Taerim and Seonghwa.

And the look Hongjoong had was actually inspired from his anger gaze at the ending shot of ATEEZ's 2020 MAMA performance Dona Eis Requeim and the story Wooyoung said at the 2020 Christmas Vlive.

That smile and gaze is too good for his own good, isn't it??? I somehow get why Wooyoung said that he felt attracted when Hongjoong looked angry at him to give him food.

But then again, I prefer Seonghwa more over him. I mean.... this man.... is too real to be true!!!!

Why!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Now.... i think i should stop myself from Shinestar-ing my ass off and go to prep the next chap. It' s a really long update.

가자!!!!!!! (Ewo ewo yeah~)
