You and Jeongin have been best friends since you were nine. You did everything together whether it was going to the movies, having sleepovers, helping each other with homework, making fun of each other, consoling one another when having a bad day.

Once he began his trainee days to become an idol, you supported him 24/7. Even on his days off he would come over and hang out with you instead of resting which you would always feel bad.

When he debuted with his group, you cheered him on and bought flowers for him. You got along with his group mates and even considered them as close friends.

But things have changed as time passed. Every time you'd hang out with Jeongin whenever he's not working, some of his fans would say mean things to you, especially this one fan that would say threats. You didn't want to tell Jeongin because you were afraid he would get worried.

Everyday the messages would get worse, plus you'd get random packages that you were afraid to open. The first one you received was a letter from the same fan who would threaten you. It said that if you didn't stay away from Jeongin, she would hurt you. You didn't bother opening other mail or packages.

One day when you were walking home from Jeongin's, you turned a corner only to be pulled back by the hair. You were thrown against the wall, hurting your head. Luckily there was no blood...yet.

When you looked at the person who pushed you, she was wearing a mask that covered only her mouth and nose. She had a knife in her hand, holding it tightly as she walked closer to you.

"I thought I told you to stay away from Jeongin. Are you too stupid to understand??", she asked.

You had to step back due to how close she was getting. It terrified you that you might get stabbed.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?", you asked, putting your hand out to create some kind of shield.

"Jeongin should be with me. You're nothing. So I'm gonna tell you once again. Stay away from Jeongin or else I will take this knife and repeatedly stab you until you are cold, understand that?", she asked, showing you the knife.

"O-Okay", you froze as she had the knife close to your neck.

She glared at you for a few seconds before putting away the knife and walked away, causing you to sigh in relief. Your breathing was heavy and your heart was racing.

~~~

Jeongin and his group mates came over to your house to play some video games. Though you couldn't focus because all you can think about is that crazy girl threatening you. Hyunjin and Jeongin were the ones playing while everyone else waited for their turn.

"Do you wanna play next (y/n)? You haven't had a turn yet", Jeongin asked, not taking his eyes off of the screen.

You were sitting on the couch, legs crossed as you looked out the window, lost in your thoughts.

"(Y/n)?", he called you once again, pressing pause on the game.

You kept biting on your lip, imagining what the girl would do if she found you with Jeongin. She's probably watching you right this second. Maybe you should just dig your grave.

"(Y/n)", Chan tapped your shoulder, causing you to jump.

"Hmm?", you asked, facing everyone.

"Jeongin asked if you wanna play", Chan said.

"..no. I don't wanna play", you smiled and looked out the window again.

"Are you okay? You don't seem like yourself", Jeongin asked.

He gave his controller to someone else and sat down next to you. The boys continued playing while Jeongin tried to convince you to tell him what was wrong. His arm went over your shoulders but you softly pushed it off.

"I'm just tired. Long day today at work", you smiled, hoping he would believe you.

"Did something happen? Was it your boss again? I keep telling you to quit and find another job. You're just gonna be unhappy working there", he said.

"You're right. I have to find another job first though", you said.

"I'll help you", he smiled softly, causing you to slightly blush.

~~~

Jeongin was waiting for you outside of work. He promised he was gonna hell you got a job in the company that he is working in. He said they're hiring assistants which he thinks you're good for. You had to quit your job.

"There?", he asked once he saw you walk out of the building.

"Yeah. Apparently he has no problem in me quitting. I don't care though", you said, shrugging your shoulders.

"Well that doesn't matter right? You have a new job now. Let's go celebrate. I'm paying", he smiled and grabbed your hand, leadings you towards an ice cream stand.

The feeling of your hand in his caused your heart to skip a beat. You like that feeling actually. It's very warm and comfortable. A smile appeared on your face without realizing it.

"Chocolate or vanilla?", he asked, letting go of your hand to take out his wallet.

"Both", you said.

He chuckled and asked the vendor to serve both vanilla and chocolate ice cream in one cup for you. He handed the cup to you along with a small spoon, paying the vendor after.

"You're not getting one?", you asked.

"No. Not in the mood for ice cream", he said.

"What are you in the mood for then?", you asked, getting a small spoonful of vanilla ice cream and putting it in your mouth.

He kept staring down at your lips which had a bit of ice cream on it. He stepped forward and wiped it away with a napkin, causing you to freeze. He was so focused on cleaning your mouth that he hadn't realized how close he was.

"You're very sloppy when it comes to eating", he chuckled.

"Can't hell it. I love food. Do you have a problem with that?", you asked.

"No. Not at all", he softly smiled and walked passed you.

~~~

"I'll be right back, okay?", he hurried over to the men's bathroom while you waited near some benches.

No one was around since it was late. You heard footsteps but didn't pay attention to it as he cold wind kept blowing north. You should've brought a sweater but you didn't think Jeongin would want to hang out all day. The next minute you felt someone grab your hair and pull you to the ground.

"You must want to die", the crazy girl was back, holding the same knife in her hand.

She kicked you on the stomach repeatedly until you couldn't get up. She hovered over you and began to choke you but you had enough strength to push her off. You wanted to stand up but she pushed you against the wall, holding the knife in front of you.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

You heard Jeongin running towards you, scaring the girl away but you tripped her. Luckily there was a security guard close by and arrested her. Jeongin checked on you, making sure you weren't hurt.

"What happened? And don't say nothing because that didn't look like nothing. Who was that?", he asked.

"...I think she's one of your fans. She told me not to be around you or she'll hurt me. She kept threatening me", you said.

"Why didn't you tell me?? She could've killed you", he said.

"I didn't want you getting worried", you said.

"(Y/n), I'm always gonna worry about you even when you're safe. But I don't want to see you end up in a hospital. I don't know what I'd do if something bad happens to you. Next time you tell me if something like this happens. Got that?", he asked.

You nodded, apologizing after. He wrapped his arms around you and embraced you in a hug.

"You mean the world to me (y/n). More than you know", he mumbled softly as he took in your scent.

"I'm your best friend. You're supposed to say that", you said.

He shook his head and pulled away from you, staring into your eyes while holding your hands.

"The guys kept telling me that I'm supposed to talk to you about this because apparently I make it obvious even when I don't realize it. (Y/n), I really like you. More than just as a friend. I think it started when we were twelve. You told me you had a crush on my brother and I hated that idea. Then the more we hung out, the more I liked you. I kept telling myself that you will never see me like that because...well I don't know. It just seems as if I'm not good enough. I don't care about that now. I'm just glad you know", he chuckled softly while rubbing the back of his neck.

"You are good enough. More than good actually. Any girl would be lucky to have you. Plus I don't have that crush on your brother anymore. Not since that date we had. Incredibly terrible. I just wish I would've known my feelings for you sooner so that wouldn't have happened", you said.

"So....What are you doing tomorrow night?", he asked.

"Are you asking me out on a date?", you chuckled, noticing his face becoming red.

"Maybe I am...depending on your answer", he said.

You looked at him, noticing on how much he wanted you to answer. His fingers were lightly talking his lap, becoming impatient even though it's been seconds. He started thinking you didn't want to go out with him so he he looked down at the ground. You smiled and grabbed his hand, making him look down at you.

"I'd love to."
