Ganster's Squad

Chapter 60: Maite's tears

Maite was pacing through her room when Angie walked in.

"I heard you arguing with your parents. How are you feeling?"

Maite jumpend on the bed. "I'm exhausted. They want me to go home. I don't want to. I can't stand any more of their arguments, or their disappointment."

Angie sighted and sat on the bed next to her. She gently started to stroke her hair. "You are not a disappointment. You're the best friend anyone can ask for. You are smart, kind hearted. Don't let them make you think otherwise."

A tear rolled from Maite's eyes. "I'm so tired of everything. Nothing I do is ever right. My parents think I'm a loser, Jin doesn't even look at me, Natasha is god knows where. Becky has her own problems to deal with, and I don't want to spoil your happiness. I don't want to intrude between you and Yoongi. I feel so alone."

"Aww, sweetie you don't intrude us. You can always come to talk to me, you know that. If I'm with Yoongi it doesn't mean that I will abandon you. You are my best friend."

Maite put her head on Angie's legs. "I don't know what to do, how to deal with this."

Angie's heart was breaking seeing her best friend in so much pain. She wished she could do something to make her feel better. She didn't like her parents and she didn't even met them. "Why don't you talk to Jin?"

"And tell him what? How weak I am?"

"You're not weak. You just feel a bit off." Angie remembered the plan Jungkook had. "Why don't you take a long shower? Put some bath salts, some music and try to relax a bit."

Maite got up from the bed. "I think you are right. Maybe I can find the answer to my prayers."

Angie smiled and went to look for Jin. Even if he didn't like her, all he could do was suck it up. Oh, how much she will enjoy tormenting him even more.

Jin was in the living room, with the laptop on his lap sorting through some jobs they recently received. He was trying to decide what to chose when Angie interrupted him. He rolled his eyes and closed the laptop.

"Why do I always have to bump into you?" Jin asked annoyed.

"I'm Yoongi's girl. Trust me, the unwanted feeling is mutual." She turned the TV on, scanning through channels, until she stopped on a cooking channel.

"I don't hate you. You have this bad habit of not letting people finish their damn sentences. How can you be so rude?"

Angie laughed. "I now know why Maite likes you. You are cute when you go off."

Jin puffed theatrically. "What do you need now?"

Angie sensed the subtle hints of amusement in his words, for a change he wasn't malicious towards her. "Nothing. I just had a talk with Maite. I need to call Minho." She stared at him and saw how annoyed he was upon mentioning Minho's name. Poor Minho, he was dragged in without him knowing.

"Why would you call that guy? Doesn't he spend enough time with her as it is?"

"Are you jealous?"

Jin smirked. "As if. I'm the most wonderful person alive. I'm too beautiful to worry. Besides, Maite is mine."

Angie rolled her eyes and flipped to another channel. "Her parents called. They want her to visit, and of course to give them more money." she couldn't keep the distaste form her words. "I though Minho could go with her, so she doesn't have to go alone."

Jin noticed how she spoke, it was obvious that something was going on between Maite and her parents. "Why would Minho go when I'm her boyfriend?"

"When was the last time you even talk to her? Not to mention you didn't really do much for her in the first place." she replied dryly. "Keep this up, and I'll make sure Minho will end up with her."

"Are you crazy?" He jumped from the couch yelling.

"You can yell all you want, I'm not impressed." Angie got up to her feet as well, staring at him. "Maite deserves someone who can treat her right, you ain't doing your job properly."

"Excuse me if I'm not whipped like Yoongi is."

Angie slapped him. She couldn't believe she did that. She was angry with him. "Maite likes you, you dumb ass. She is stressed out of her mind that you don't like her back. She is scared that you consider her worthless. Not to mention her parents that keeps calling her useless. Get your fucking act together and do something. She won't magically jump in your arms without some efforts from you."

"Damn angel. You're scary when you're upset." Yoongi smiled and hugged her from behind. His head was resting on her shoulder. "She's right you know. You can consider me whipped or not, I don't care." He shrugged and kissed her neck. "But right now, your girl is upstairs probably feeling like shit, while my girl is happy beyond words."

Angie softened at his words. "Not to mention you constantly persuaded her from the beginning, and now when she actually wants your attention, you chicken out. Jin, I care about Maite, she's my best friend. Don't hurt her. I want to think you are a nice loving guy."

Jin looked down at his feet. Angie's words made sense. He hadn't tried anything, yet he expected her to come running back to him. He didn't know exactly what had happened, why there was this hole between them. They were right, he hadn't stepped up his game and he risks loosing her. He didn't say anything else as he ran to her room. He knocked several times with no answer. He opened the door and heard the soft tunes that were coming from the bathroom.

"So she likes long baths with music." He smirked. He took out his phone out and made a reservation for all three girls at the most expensive spa in town. He closed the door behind him with a smile on his face. He had taken the first step and he was pleased with himself.
