46 All I Need Is Time

After getting dressed, I ran downstairs first to be greeted by a grinning Mi-Young.

"You're not a virgin anymore huh?" She teases me and I blushed profusely.

"S-shut up Mi-Youngie.."

"You're not denying it!! Awwhhh. My Hani is no longer a virgin!" She happily chirped at me before hugging me and joyfully jumping up and down by herself. She grins even wider when she noticed the lovebite on my neck. I covered it with my hand and tried to change the subject.

"What about you huh? You went to see Hoseok all night."

"All we did was cuddle last night. But you and Jimin Oppa-"

"What about us?" Hyung interrupted Mi-Young as he came down the stairs. He made his way to me and held me by my waist and places a kiss on my left cheek.

"Awwwhhh. That's so sweet..." Mi-Young smiled genuinely at us.

"I miss Hoseok Oppa now," she cutely sulks before moving away to find her phone to call her soon to be husband.

"Thanks," I quietly whispered to Hyung.

"Anytime babe," and he kisses my other cheek that he didn't kiss earlier. My heart raced as he held me in his arms.

"I'll leave you two lovers alone. I just came to grab my phone. Bye Hani, Bye Jimin Oppa."

She makes her way to the door, but not before teasing us once more.

"Make sure to use protection. I don't want Hani's belly getting big before me."

And she leaves.

This girl will seriously never let this go..

I sighed, relieved that she left. I turned to face Hyung and he smiles warmly at me before pecking my lips. I broke away from his embrace.

"Come on. Let's cook breakfast. I'm hungry."

After eating breakfast and cleaning up our mess, Hyung went back to his friend's place to grab his stuff. He wanted to come back and spend as much time as he could with me before he really has to leave back to the states.

My phone rang and I grabbed it. It was from my mom. I grew red at the thought that Hyung and I had just slept together last night and my parents knew nothing of it. They had trusted their daughter enough with a boy alone in their house and because they couldn't control their hormones, they had sex.

I bit my lip and answered the call.

"H-hello mom! How are you? How's the trip? When are you coming back?"

I realized that I was rushing my questions and they came out of my mouth within 3 seconds.

"Hi sweetie, we missed you too," she laughs at the other end of the line.

"Change of plans sweetie. I don't think your dad and I will be back soon. I thought we'd be back before Jimin goes back to the states, but I'm afraid we won't be able to see him off this weekend."

"Oh.." I pretended to sound disappointed when in reality I was happy that I will get to spend more alone time with Hyung.

"Tell Jimin we're really sorry and that we'll go to visit the Park family soon."

"Ne Omma. Be safe and I miss you and dad."

That wasn't a lie. Although it will be nice to be alone with Hyung, I really did miss my parents. Especially mom's homecooked meals.

We hung up and I set my phone on the counter only for it to ring shortly after. I grabbed it again and saw that it was Yoongi Oppa who was calling me this time.

"Hi Yoongi Oppa," I answered him cheerfully. I was insanely happy until I remembered that he had no knowledge that Hyung and I were together now and that he was still my fake boyfriend.

"Hani, can we meet up?"

"Ne Oppa. I have something to tell you too."

************

***Yoongi's POV***

I waited in the cafe near Hani's home.

When she entered, I noticed the hickey on her neck. I swallowed the lump in my throat before she finally took the seat across from me.

"Morning Oppa.."

"M-morning."

Did she really sleep with Hoseok last night?

I couldn't take my eyes off of the bruise on her neck. She must have noticed the way I was staring at it. She rubbed at it with her hand before moving her hand away letting the bruise be exposed.

"Oppa-"

"Did you sleep with him?"

"Huh?"

"Did you sleep with Hoseok last night?"

I couldn't help but feel tears building up in my eyes. I looked away as I felt a rage of envy swooping through my blood.

Why Hoseok? Why did it have to be my best friend?

"No, I didn't sleep with Hoseok..."

I looked up to meet her eyes. I let out a small breathe in relief when she said she didn't sleep with Hoseok. I knew she wouldn't sleep with Hobi, but that doesn't explain the hickey.

"Then-"

"I slept with Jimin Hyung last night."

My whole world came crashing down hard. Because I knew that I no longer had a chance. It had always been a losing game when compared to Jimin. Had it been with Hoseok, I would have lost my shit and gone psyco on her, but it was Jimin. The one man she loved so much, that she shed so many tears for, and pined so deeply for. Who was I to stop her from being happy?

"Oppa, I told Hyung everything last night. He was angry with me at first for lying to him and hurting him, but he eventually forgave me. One thing led to another and I became his last night. I'm here to end this fake relationship with you. It's only right to let you know and end us even though I know you weren't emotionally attached. I'm sorry for everything I had put you through."

I mustered up all the strength I had left to put a smile on my face.

"So this pabo finally confessed to him huh? I was wondering how long I would have to put up with you," I let a fake laugh escape my throat, but I couldn't stop the tears from falling.

She saw the tears and became worried.

"Oppa, are you okay? Why are you crying?"

"I'm shedding tears of happiness. I'm finally free from you..." I choked back the tears and sniffled hard as the tears flowed down my face. It hurt so much, but I knew I had to let her go.

I stood up abruptly and walked out of the cafe. I couldn't stay there anymore.

"Yoongi!"

She runs out of the cafe after me. She grabs a hold of my arm and turns me around to face her.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?"

And then her face had realization in them as she stared confusingly at my probably now red eyes. I tried to avoid her eyes, but she cupped my face in her hands and lifted it up to meet hers.

"Oppa, do you..."

She paused before finishing her question.

"Do you like me?"

I sniffled and nodded letting her know that I do like her.

"I don't know when I started liking you, but I know.... I know I won't ever have a chance with you. I know how much you love him. It hurts, but I'll be fine."

And I broke down in front of her. I never wanted her to see this weak side of me. She moves in close and hugs me. I wrapped my hands around her smaller frame holding on to her tightly.

"I'm sorry Oppa. I really am. I never meant to hurt you."

She gently pats my back in an attempt to comfort me as I sob uncontrollably in her embrace.

When the crying slowly passed, I pulled away from her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hold onto you.."

"It's okay Oppa. I'm sorry I wasn't the one for you. You'll find her someday... Or him someday. Whatever fits your needs."

I let out a small laugh at the tiny girl in front of me. I wiped the remaining tears and smiled genuinely at her.

"I have one last thing I want you to do for me Hani to end our deal and fake relationship..."

"What is it Oppa?"

I placed both hands on her shoulders and gave her a light squeeze.

"Be happy. I'll find that idiot and break his bones if he ever hurts you or makes you cry."

She laughs at my remark and nods cutely at my request. I let go of her and she gave me a quick hug again before pulling away.

"Oppa, I am so thankful and was happy to have you by my side all this time. I know I'm being greedy, but I really hope to stay friends with you."

It hurts. That word, friend, but I nodded to let her know that I did still want her in my life. It was better than not having her in my life at all.

She waved at me before turning around and headed home. I watched her figure walking further and further away from me until she finally turns the corner and disappears from my sight.

I'll be fine. I learned to love again because of her. I know I'll be able to love again one day. All I need is time...
