Not What it Seems | BTS x Reader | Reverse Harem

Chapter 17 - Park Hanna

"Hey!" Her idol was standing infront of her with a look of concern, topped with his if-looks-could-kill smile. "Why are you leaving?"

"I'm just not feeling well, sorry for leaving so suddenly." Hanna forced a grin, hoping he would buy it.

"Oh, I guess if that's the case you should rest up." Realising he was still holding her wrist, he abruptly let it go whispering a low apology.

"I just thought we could hang out a little bit more."

If Hanna was suprised before, right now she was blown away. She was pretty sure her eyeballs were bulging out of their sockets.

"M-Me..?" Was all she could muster. She couldn't believe what was happening.

He wanted to spend time with... me?

"Yeah, you're Y/N's friend right?"

"Oh."

Of course.

That's what this was about. There was no way a member of BTS would want to spend time with me... for me.

"Yeah I actually just wanted to ask.. Do you know what's going on with Y/N and Namjoon hyung?"

"Well, I'm the wrong person to ask." Hanna managed a laugh as she was crumbling on the inside. "I really have no idea."

Hanna realised this was just as a good time as any to ask about how Jungkook really felt.

"Jungkook-ah.."

"Hmm?" He perked at his name.

"Do you.. like Y/N?"

Say no. Please.

She had to ask him. Even if she already knew what he was going to say, she had to ask him.

Hanna wasn't sure if the uncertainty was going to kill her or if his answer would. But she was dying to know, and this way, she would atleast have some sort of closure.

With a blushing face and his hand behind his neck Jungkook admitted, "Yeah.. I guess you could say that."

When Hanna heard the words, it was as if someone had ripped out her insides and left a gaping hole. She knew the answer and yet hearing him say it drove the knife deeper.

"And I know we just met but.. I was thinking you could help me with her? You know, say good things about me and let me know if you hear anything?" He was so oblivious to what he was doing to her. He was just a poor lovestruck boy. A lost puppy. "Please?"

She couldn't say no to her bias and she definitely couldn't say no to his helplessness. It reminded her of herself.

"Sure, I'll help you." Hanna agreed, smiling at the black haired man standing in front of him.

Her response ignited the brightest expression she had ever seen Jungkook do. And she has seen a lot of his photos.

"Thank you so much Hanna!" Jungkook leant in and pecked Hanna on the cheek before disappearing back into the room. "I'll text you!"

Hanna reached for her cheek, trying to hold on to the sensation of Jungkook's kiss that was already slipping away.

Never in a million years would she have thought this was going to happen. Her butteflies were bittersweet.

She had met the man she had been dreaming off for the last 5 years. She was now 'friends' with him and expecting a text message from him. She was even kissed by him.

But all this all didn't matter as she realised she had no chance with him. He had feelings for someone else, and he didn't see her that way.

Hanna stood there frozen, as she contemplated her luck. She didn't dare move a muscle as she was afraid that if she did, her body was going to give way and crumble. She had fought so hard to keep her tears in. She wasn't going to let them win.

"What's going on?" Seemingly out of nowhere, Jimin was now in front of her. "Are you okay, beautiful?"

"Stop calling me that." Hanna didn't have the patience to deal with him anymore.

"Come on, tell me what's wrong? Let me make you feel better,"

"Even now," Hanna said through gritted teeth. "Even when I'm clearly upset, you're still trying to hit on me?!"

"No I just-"

"I'll tell you whats wrong! What's wrong is that this dousche who's been hooking up with my best friend keeps hitting on me in front of her. Don't you think that's the slightest bit disrespectful?! Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to do all that? Stop calling me sweetheart, darling, your dear Hanna, and stop calling me beautiful when I know you're full of shit!"

Jimin's mouth was gaping as his sweet talk faltered. His eyes darting about to come with an excuse.

"I know you're saying all that to get in my pants. Maybe all that sweet talk may work with the groupies, random girls or even saesang fans you sleep with, but it will NEVER work on me. Never."

Finishing her rant, Hanna realised how loudly she had been shouting as both of them stood there without a word. Jimin's expression, which was initially filled with harsh denial, softened as he closed his eyes, releasing a deep sigh.

"You're right," Jimin's voice was gentle much like his face. He couldn't look her in the eyes and his gaze fell to the floor full of regret. "I'm sorry."

Hanna was too overwhelmed by everything to say anything more. She had said what she wanted to say and the turn of events added relief, confusion and even more surprise to her emotional potluck of instability.

Seeing Jimin vulnerable made her feel comfortable too. He was finally showing her a genuine side of him, and at this moment, she trusted him.

"But you know.. I meant it when I say you're beautiful."

That did it.

Without thinking, Hanna ran straight into him and collapsed in his chest. Everything she had kept to herself was bursting in the form of her tears. She cried into Jimin's shirt and clenched it hard as it was the only thing she could hold onto.

Wrapping his arms around her and putting his chin on her head, Jimin caressed the back of her heavy head and stood there as Hanna uncontrollably cried out her frustrations.
