Impossible {Ten's NCT Fanfic}

Chapter 12

Ten's POV   

"I'm home!" I let down my bag and took my shoes off at the entrance. I hear a familiar 'Hey' as I'm setting my keys on the key holder. "How was your lil date?" my roommate says with a cheeky grin on his face. "It wasn't a date Johnny." I was exhausted quite frankly. It was nerve wracking being around her. It felt right but I just couldn't put it past myself to not mess up.  "Mhm? Then what was is TEN?" he said mocking my tone. "It was just, friends meeting up, that's all."

"Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. Right now you have the 'post date nerves'. I can see how much you like her." he said whilst eating a banana at their kitchen counter. "I do not. AND I don't like her. You know why." I reached for something to drink from out of the fridge and made my way next to him. "Well, tell yourself that more, maybe then you'll believe it." and with that he left into his room. I sat there with my drink contemplating everything that just happened. 'I went out with just a girl. That hasn't happened in ages.' I thought to myself. 'Is Johnny right? Am I actually catching feelings for someone new? No. No that can't be. Not after everything I went through with Yuna. I can't just betray her like that. Wait. Wouldn't she want me to be happy? I think so. But no. Not like this. Not yet.'

Eunha's POV

    I got myself to right about in front of my door when tears were threatening to fall from my eyes. The moment I opened the door, I went inside and locked it behind me. Immediately tears started falling from my eyes. I couldn't hold it in anymore. 'I had an amazing time with him. He was so genuine! How? How am I going to kill him? I can't. He doesn't deserve this. All I've been doing is lying to him. Now I have to kill him too? What kind of monster am I???' I tried to steady my breathing for a moment. I went into my kitchen and washed my face in the sink. I got a glass of water, trying to soothe my throat. All I want is to scream and cry. 'This isn't what I want but I can't do anything about it!'

Then, glass shattering was heard all across the room. Out of the sheer frustration, I didn't even realize I smacked the glass off the table and into the wall. I slammed my hands on the kitchen counter. 'I don't know what to do anymore, he's, he's amazing and I can't believe I let myself get attached to him.' After the glass shattering and the loud noises, I hear feet shuffling through the apartment.    

"Who's there?" I hear before my best friend looks straight at me. "Oh my god, Eunha." She rushes over to my side trying to comfort me. "Don't" I mutter before she can come close. "Be careful, there's glass on the floor. I'm sorry about that." I try to quickly wipe my tears away, as if nothing happened.

"Okay, You, Me, Couch, Now." I hear Yarin say, now eyeing the floor to see where the glass is. She comes over to me on the side where there's no broken glass and pulls me to the couch.

"Now spill it." Before I can even open my mouth, she interjects. "WAIT IS IT ABOUT-" "Yes" I let out in a whisper. "It's him"

"Oh god what happened? Did he not enjoy the date? Did he leave earlier than expected? OH NO. HE STOOD YOU UP DIDN'T HE??? I swear I will murder him when I find him-" "No..."

"No?" Yarin said in disbelief.

"He didn't do any of those things. Also, It wasn't a date and you know that Yarin. It was just us hanging out. But it was, great, actually. Too good to be true." I said finally sinking into the couch. "Then why are you sobbing in our kitchen at 11pm? That sounds like the ultimate ice cream 'my boyfriend just dumped me' cry sesh?" I stood up from the couch and let everything out once and for all. " I CAN'T LIKE HIM! DON'T YOU GET IT?? AT THE END OF THIS I HAVE TO-" I caught myself right before I said it. Tears started streaming from my eyes again. I noticed again that all the good things I had with him would soon come to an abrupt end.

    "You have to what Eunha?" I dropped back into the couch and started crying in her arms before I could answer her question. She held me tight and let me cry it all out. I've never cried this much in front of her but right now, my whole world was crumbling apart. Out of choked sobs all you could hear was me saying "I have to kill the one person I've had true feelings for."

"No not this again. Wait-" Yarin paused for a moment taking in what I said, deciphering it from the sobs and muffles. " Eunha, don't tell me you love Ten." The moment she said those words I held onto her even tighter. Suddenly, more tears came out of my eyes, I didn't know a person could cry this much. This was worse than a normal heartbreak. No one cheated on me. Instead, I have to lie and kill the one man I want to spend the rest of my days with. "Yarin- Help me please." It came out with more choked sobs.

"Honey, you love him, I can tell. But if you really do love him, you have to find a way to stop this," She took another pause to look at the date on the calendar. "And soon."
