"Y/n!! I missed you so much!!!"
Haerim runs into my arms and I cuddle her small body against mine.
Her eyes are pink and bloated, and her usual overly dressed up self was no where to be seen.
"Have you been crying Haerim..?"
She starts to tear up and I put her head into my chest.
"What did that bastard say to you. I'll rip his dick off." I say, trying to let her know I'm by her side. She slides off me and cries facing the floor.
I grab the tissues from my desk and pass it to her as I think of ways to murder him.
"Y/n... I'm.. I'm going to be alright... I mean.. I've only know him for a week or two.. in any case.. are YOU okay?"
I sigh a deep sigh and remember what I had seen. I'm more angry than sad now to be honest. Jimin hasn't called or texted me once that had happened.
"...I'll rip his dick off too."
Haerim giggled at me and knowing she can still smile like that made me happy.
"Sigh.. maybe I should just date you. Fuck boys you know?" she says cuddling my arm.
I carress her hair and feel content that I have a friend I can lean on.
"Hey. Do you want to go out and shop or something?"
I suggest to her first.
She nods excitedly and we both head outside.
The summer breeze is nice and we both look good, I couldn't be more satisfied with today.
We walk around looking into all our favourite stores and we buy matching key chains for our phones. It was fun being a typical teen and I wasn't going to let heartbreakers ruin our day.
We're sitting at cafe on the second floor on its veranda, when I see a similar figure.
Its Yoongi.
He isn't dressed heavily like he usually was and he was strange today.
He is smiling alot as he walks by...
next to some girl.
"Hey y/n.. isn't that your oppa?" Haerim says as I shoot lasers from my eyes.
I find myself unconsciously heated and I grip my ice cream spoon hard.
I go back and forth from mad to sad and end up getting up from my seat to follow after them.
Haerim catched up with me and looks at me funny, saying, "Whats wrong with you? You usually ignore him..?"
I want to find out who that girl is.
I follow along after secretly until I find myself tripping over some boxes I didn't see and land hard onto the ground.
Both yoongi and the girl turn around surprised at the loud sound. Yoongi shuts his eyes in second hand embarassment and says,
"Y/n?? Wha- Were you following me??"
I get up with now ripped jeans and turn beet red, embarrased. Haerim pats my back and Yoongi laughs at me slightly, and tells the girl,
"Do you mind if these girls join us?"
I still keep my head down and look at yoongi's shoes.
"No not at all!"
I look up and damn. She's gorgeous.
On a different level than all those sluts he brought home.

We step into a book+music store and we all browse for things, well, I'm just eyeing the two getting all friendly with each other.
Haerim stares at me for a long time until she gives me a poke on the cheek.
"I'll go distract the lady y/n."
I blink fast.
"W-Why would you want to do that?"
She giggles and says,
"You're too easy to read Y/n hehe. I got your back."
And she skips off and acts all cutsey to the girl.
Unexpectedly, the lady lets haerim guide her and Yoongi is now browsing the cd section alone. I sneak up behind him and put his arm over my neck.
"Hey oppa."
He untangles himself from me and sneers.
"Since when were we friendly enough to do that y/n? "
I pout and stand in front of him.
"Well, we should be you know.. closer now I think. After what we've been through."
He rolls his eyes and pushes me by my forehead.
"Yeah okay. Stay like 15 meters away from me."
I know he is still trying to act nonchalant to me,
when really, he hasn't told me any of how he really feels about our distance.
I step forward in front of him again and cross my arms.
"Who is that lady? Do you like her? Does she like you? Did you guys kiss?"
He almost chokes at my list of questions and says,
"Um first of all, she works with me at my studio..
And no I don't like her."
"Why not? Shes very beautiful?"
He chuckles and gives my hair a light rustle.
"You're not bad yourself to be honest."
I blush like mad and know I'm showing my true self way too much. I grab my hair and wrap it around my face and kick his shin. He grimaces but doesn't move much.
"Don't say things you dont usually say you psychopath."
He scratches his head and adds onto what he was saying.
"And besides, shes lesbian."
I let out a mental sigh of relief.
I'm so glad.
I know I said I just wanted to stay sister and brother, but by all my reactions to everything related to my step brother really urged me to do what just might ruin the relationship we had just barely mended.
He turns away from me and heads to the cashier.
I feel a cold sweat emerging and my stomach is in knots. I slowly reach for his hand and i grab it firm like this would be the only chance god would ever give me.
Yoongi turns around puzzled and furrows his eyebrows on me.
"What do you want.."
I pull him to the back isle of the cd section we were at and stare him directly in the eyes as I say,
"Yoongi... I...I don't..."
He raises his eyebrows impatiently and waits for me to finish.
"I dont.. want you to..
love me as a sister.."
I said it. I doggone said it.
We both hold our breaths and the store suddenly seems much more quiet.
He clears his throat with a flustered expression and avoids my eye contact.

"Y/n..

Lets just...stay this way."
