(Un)Happily Ever After {BTSxReader}

9. Hello There

     He seems to be unaware of exactly who you are.

     "Yeah, rough day."

     "My name's Yuta. Nakamoto Yuta. Would you like someone to chat with?"

     "Oh, I don't know... what about your friend?" You ask, gesturing to the man on the other side of the café who watches your interaction.

    "Hey, Shotaro! Come over here!"

     He jogs over as Yuta scoots over in the booth. They both sit across from you now, the two smiling awkwardly.

     "Hello there! My name's Osaki Shotaro." He introduces himself. "We're both from Japan, and we're visiting Korea for the next two weeks."

     "Well, my name's Y/N... you don't happen to know me at all... do you?"

     "Um... no?" They look between each other then back at you, seemingly confused.

     "Perfect." You sigh contently.

     "Should we?" Yuta asks, lips quirked.

     "No, you're good."

     "So, Y/N, what's been bothering you?" Shotaro questions, smiling gently. "Unless you want us to leave. I know talking to strangers about your problems is kind of weird... but we're here to talk if you want."

     "No, it's fine. I'll take anyone at this point."

     "Okay then, go ahead," Yuta enthuses.

     "Well, to dumb it down, my ex's cheated on me and said horrible things to me and about me to others. They are terrible people. I left the country with my best friend to get away from all of it, where I met some amazing friends. Once I returned, I found out that they had somehow fallen in love with me while I was gone. But once I told them to buzz off, that nothing would ever happen between us again, we had an interaction of sorts... but I was angry still. Anyways, I wrote them off, and my friends popped off on me telling me that it was time to forgive them. My best friends! Like shouldn't they be on my side?"

"Oh, absolutely!" Yuta agrees, shaking his head vigorously.

     "Wow, they sided with your ex's? What a bunch of a-holes." Shotaro agrees, laying his hands flat on the table.

      "I mean, I don't think they meant to hurt my feelings, but still..." you slump back into your seat and sigh.

     "No, honey, you can feel betrayed and sad about this, but don't tear yourself apart. Even if they seem to be on their side, they're always going to be on yours. It's just at this moment, they're seemingly not on yours. But trust me, they'll turn around quick," Shotaro ensures, placing a hand on top of yours. "And as for your ex's... wait, how many of them are there?"

     "...Seven..."

      "Wow! Seven- Ahem, I mean, as for those ex's... it's okay to still resent them. It's okay to be hurt by what they did. Some betrayals don't ever go away. But that doesn't mean you can't still love them."

     "I didn't-"

     "Girl, from the look in your eyes, you still love them. We can tell."

      "Yeah. I just- I just want someone to knock some sense into me..."

     "I can!"

     "I'd be more than willing to!"

    They each share a look, each telling the other to back down.

     But neither of them are going to.

     "Haha, you guys are funny... say, why don't you come back to my place! You can meet my friends. And! We can talk more! Unless, of course, you have other things that are important..."

     "Nope!"

     "Nuh-Uh, ready to go when you are."

     You set a hundred dollar bill in the café table. Paying for both your and their tab, while also leaving a tip.

     As you head off, the guys have a conversation with their eyes.

      "Who just used hundreds like that?"

     "Someone RICH?"

     They follow you out to your parked car, eyes widening ten fold at seeing the type it is.

     "Say, Y/N... why did you want to know if we knew who you are?" Yuta asks.

     "Oh, well, basically, not just for the shock factor, but I'm the Queen of South Korea."

     "Oh you're that Y/N?" Yuta says.

     They sit stock still in silence for a few seconds, taking all the news in.

     "Well? Are you coming or not?"

"You know what? Fuck it." Shotaro enthuses, sliding into the passenger seat of your car.

"Yeah, let's just see where this takes us." Yuta fist bumps his friend as he sits down in the back seat.

Driving back onto the castle grounds, you can see multiple people waiting on the front steps.

Your friends. Your parents.

The guys.

"Oh damn. Shit's about to go down." Yuta's eyes widening at the welcoming committee

      You park in front of the steps and exit the car, stern look on your face.

      "Y/N! We're so glad you're okay!" Jaerin comes walking down the steps.

"Yeah. I'm sure you are."

Jaerin stops mid step.

"Really, Y/N, we were worried," Wonpil starts towards you.

"Yeah, I would have been too."

He stops on a step a few away from you.

"Are you mad?" Johnny asks, walking towards you, hand in hand with Mark.

"I don't know, does it seems like I am?" You snap at him.

The two of them stop where they are, sensing your uneasiness.

Two chauffeurs open the doors for Yuta and Shotaro.

"Who are they?"
