My stomach turned as I saw Hoseok seated next to his girlfriend, his arm draped around her shoulders with her leaning into him.

I was trying to act as normal as possible even though I was completely taken back.

I didn't expect her to be here and yet here she was. I guess that was to be expected seeing as the two of them are dating. Of course she'd hang around the guys too.

"Ready to go?" Yoongi asks from behind the wheel. Without speaking, I nod. The whole car ride to the movies I felt awkward. I didn't say a single word.

Instead, I focused in on Hoseok and his girlfriends conversation which honestly wasn't really anything. She would say something random and he would reply with a hum or head nod.

I couldn't help but to feel uncomfortable. I mean come on, how comfortable could you be really in a car with your ex and his new girlfriend. Exactly, awkward.

I nearly hopped out of the car once we arrived at the movies. I was more then glad to be out of there as I sprinted towards the entrance.

"Sit by me, okay!" Jin smiled as he looped his arm around mine, pulling me ahead with him. As we piled into the theater, I have no idea how it happened but I got seated right in between Hoseok and Jin.

Just my fucking luck.

I was tempted to ask if I could switch but everyone had already gotten situated and I didn't want to be doing the most. As much as I didn't want to, I would have to deal.

As the previews played I couldn't help but to use my peripheral vision to glance in Hoseok's direction. His girlfriend was already leaning up on him and grabbing his hand and everything.

All of a sudden she looked in my direction, causing me to instinctively turn my head to look at her. "It's y/n right? I know we saw each other at the roller rink but I didn't get to introduce myself. I'm Rei, Hoseok's girlfriend."

"Nice to meet you." I say, forcing a smile. Now Hoseok was looking over at me. "You too. I've heard so much about you." As soon as she says that I get an icky feeling in my stomach.

Heard so much about me? What did she know? Had Hoseok told her about our past and if so why was she being so friendly? I didn't understand it.

"Oh really? Well I hope it was good stuff." I laugh, trying not to seem awkward or rude. "Of course not! Why would my Hobi tell me awful things about his best friend?"

Hoseok seemed to visibly stiffen.

My chest tightened. Best friend? She thinks we're just best friends? That means he hasn't really told her about me, about us.

"Of course, right." I go along with it. There must be a reason he didn't tell her and honestly, that's not my business. "I hope we can be friends too." She smiles.

I fake smiled. She seemed nice but I had no intention of being friends with her. "Yeah, me too."

Rei smiled as she leaned into Hoseok who still hadn't said a word. I could tell he was uncomfortable but he didn't express it verbally.

As the movie started everyone fell quite. From the corner of my eye I could see Hoseok and Rei cuddled up together and that kept me from focusing on the movie.

I know it shouldn't but it bothered me. I didn't like seeing them all lovey dovey like that. It made me feel sick.

At some point I stepped away to go to the bathroom and get some air. I was currently sitting on the railing out in the main entrance area just trying to take a moment to gather my thoughts.

"You're missing the movie you know." I hear. I turn my head to see Hoseok making his way over to me.

"Yeah, sorry. I just needed some air." I say, not really sure why he was out here too. "Um, about what happened in the theater...Rei just really wanted to meet you. She's been begging to meet you since the day at the rink."

"Oh, it's all good." I say, feeling a bit weird talking about her. "Speaking of the rink...is that guy your boyfriend?" Hoseok asks, his words sorta stand off ish.

I wasn't sure what to call him. We were dating but we weren't official. I guess it was pretty damn close though, right? "Yeah, we are."

Hoseok didn't say anything. I saw him shift his position slightly, his hand turning to fists in his pockets. "Oh."

"You should probably get back in there, Rei might start to wonder where you went." The words came out more bitter then I had meant. Hoseok looked at me for a moment before he let out a sigh.

"What happened with us, y/n. We use to be so close and now it feels so awkward. I hate it, I hate this." Hoseok's words are somewhat hushed as if someone would hear.

I was taken back by his sudden confession. "I don't know..." I say honestly. Maybe it was because it had been so long or maybe it was because we ended so abruptly. Whatever it was, it hurt. Not that I would admit that out loud.

"I just want us to go back to normal." Hoseok says. I sighed as I stood up. The words that came out of my mouth next hurt.

"It'll never be normal again. Not after everything we've been through. I'm sorry but it's the truth. Now please, just go back to Rei, before she gets the wrong idea."

I watched as Hoseok's face dropped, his whole demeanor changing. Even I hadn't expected myself to say what I did.

"I hope you and him work out. You deserve to be happy, y/n." Is the last thing Hoseok says before he walks away.

My heart ached in my chest as I watched him go.

Even after everything, he still wanted me to be happy and although you'd think that would make me feel good, it actually broke my heart.
