Reunited

~ part six ~

A/N - Hey! Here is the final part to Reunited, I hope you enjoy! 😊 this took me a lot longer to write than planned cause I wasn’t happy with the ending 😂 please let me know what you would like to see me write next!

———————————————————————

“No, we’re just friends.” You whisper back. What you don’t realise is that San heard you, though he pretended not to, and it hurt him that he had been put back into the friend zone once again. Exactly the place he didn’t want to be.

“I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages...” You hear Mingi trail off as you speak to him on the phone. Truth is you felt the same. Although it has only been a week since you last saw him, San joined you so you weren’t exactly alone. Mingi had noticed how close you have gotten to San, though he still suspects there is something you’re keeping from him, the glances he had caught between you and San lasting slightly longer than what would be deemed normal.

“Stop being so overdramatic.” You chuckle as you picture the sulky face he must be pulling.

“I’m not being overdramatic and you know it.” Mingi whines, his voice sounding like a child who had just been told they can’t have anymore candy.

You run your hand through your hair as you let out a loud sigh feeling stressed. You have noticed the gradual build in tension between Mingi and San lately, like they had been arguing and now refuse to make up again. Like each of them had been trying to battle for your attention in front of the other.

You think back onto the pervious weekend when you were invited for dinner by Hongjoong at the dorms. You remeber how awkward you felt sitting between San and Mingi as they both tried to keep your attention away from the other, your body tense and feeling embarrassed in front of everyone. But you didn’t say anything, not wanting to add fuel to the fire when everyone was trying to have a nice meal, or a somewhat decent one given the atmosphere.

“What do I do?” You worriedly ask Seonghwa as you help him tidy away. You need advice and seeked it out from the one person you could rely on, knowing that Seonghwa is reliable.

“Honestly, I think you should give them some space, just lay low for a couple days and see if they can resolve things amongst themselves.” Seonghwa sympathetically smiles at you after pushing the last chair under the table neatly before turning to face you. You nod, a solumn look on your face as you think over Seonghwa’s advice. You know he’s right and so that’s what you’ve been doing.

“(Y/N)?” Mingi’s voice pulls you out of your trance, your eyes blinking rapidly to bring moisture back into them.

“Sorry, I must have zoned out for a second.” You awkwardly laugh to brush off the moment.

“Anyway, as I was saying, I just think that he should back off. He didn’t even like you anyway and now he’s smothering you and stealing my best friend.” Mingi rants down the phone, his tone holding the same whine to it as before which you would normally find amusing, but you suddenly feel flat. He didn’t even like you anyway

Mingi’s words ring through your mind, “he didn’t even like you” echoing over and over as you feel your heart sink into your stomach. It makes you wonder why San suddenly had a change in attitude towards you. Is he playing a game? Have you been stupid and fallen for it? You have no idea.

“I’m sorry Mingi, I-I’ve just remembered I have to run some errands. I’ve got to go.” You cut Mingi off mid sentence as you feel sadness overcome you. You say goodbye before hanging up and although you don’t really have any errands to run, there is one thing you know you need to sort out immediately.

You knew San was busy at the studio today and normally you wouldn’t like to intrude while he is working. But right now you can’t wait. Knocking on his door it opens up seconds later, a smile appearing on his face when he sees you.

“(Y/N)! What are you doing here?” He happily greets you, holding the door open to allow you to enter.

“We need to talk.” You simply state, trying to sound somewhat serious. San’s smile drops a little, his expression conveying his confusion as he waits for you to begin.

“I need to know if you are genuine about our friendship.” You rush out, feeling nervousness course through you. In all honesty, you are scared to know the truth, but you also can’t let things continue the way they are. Not just for you but for the sake of San’s friendship with Mingi.

“Is this about the tension between me and Mingi?” San raises a brow in question, continuing when you nod your head.

“Ok, I think you deserve to know the truth.” San sighs, taking a moment to gather his thoughts before meeting your eyes once again.

“Back when we met in the park I had no intention of being friends. I only wanted to make sure you still understood our deal.” San pauses briefly to take a deep breath before continuing.

“But being around you bought back all those feelings I had before. I remember how close we used to be and how much I valued our friendship. But I got my hopes up that you felt the same and then got hurt.” San trails off into almost a mumble, your eyes staring at him sympathetically as you begin to connect the dots as to why your friendship fell apart.

“That day when I saw you in the cafe with some guy, you looked so happy. I saw how you were looking at him and all I could think about was how I wished it was me instead. I would lay awake at night and replay it in my mind constantly and it made me angry. So I decided I needed to cut you out of my life and I couldn’t do that without ruining your relationship with the whole group. Tearing down your friendship with Mingi was the only way.” San’s gaze lifts from the floor to meet your eyes. He looks so vulnerable, so hurt, so resentful in this moment, his words dripping with sincerity.

“When you agreed to keep your distance while we prepared to debut I though that would be enough, but it wasn’t. So I did the one thing I knew would completely devastate your friendship with Mingi and making the messages look like you were saying all this horrible stuff about him was easy.” Of course you knew the agreement and how San manipulated you into looking like the bad person to get you to leave, but you had no idea that the real reason was because he was hurt.

“Seeing you get close with Mingi again made all the feelings I had before come back a million times stronger.” San continues, looking so nervous about admitting his feelings.

“I am one hundred percent genuine towards you... I just wish you could see me as more than a friend.” He becomes quiet, his eyes looking at the floor, scared to see your reaction.

You know you have to try to be understanding, but hearing the truth makes it hard to realise your feelings in this moment. Your mind is spinning with his words, memories flashing across your mind as you feel multiple emotions wash over you at the same time.

You remember Mingi’s expression when he found the messages on your phone about him. The conversation about your friend ranting over her ex taken out of context and made to look like you were talking about Mingi through the horrible words she said.

“If you really think I’m a waste of time and you have always thought I was draining to be around then why are we even friends?” Mingi’s glazed over eyes look into yours, the weight of his heartbreak feeling like a tonne on bricks crashing down onto you. It was the day before your friendship was ruined, you had tried to explain yourself, but you couldn’t in any way prove you were innocent. It felt like everything was turned against you, and before you knew it, you had been backed into a corner and forced to take the blame.

“So you did it all out of jealousy?” You question for clarity, not quite sure if you had understood everything properly. San mumbles a feeble yes, his gaze not moving from the carpet under his feet.

“And your arguing with Mingi?” You press, your heart skipping a beat when san’s head shoots up to look at you once again, his eyes soft and full of worry.

“He got annoyed with me because I was always around you and then we argued because I told him that you aren’t his property.” San chuckles a little, realising how silly it sounds saying it out loud. You snicker along with him, forcing a weak smile onto your face.

“You know, despite what has happened I’m really glad I have you back in my life.” You begin, taking a deep breath to steady yourself. After gathering your thoughts you know that everything that has happened is now in the past. You don’t want to lose any of the guys again because of this, and honestly, you have also developed feelings for San since getting close to him again.

San’s hand slowly reaches to take yours in his, your fingers intertwining together as you silently look at each other, the subtle action of affection comforting, encouraging a genuine smile on your face.

“I think it’s time you resolve things with Mingi don’t you?” You suggest, a slightly teasing tone to your voice which makes San throw his head back breathlessly, a wide grin on his face.

“Oh- San...” Mingi’s face falls a little flat upon answering the door to reveal his friend nervously waiting.

“I forgot my key.” San awkwardly laughs in an attempt to ease some of the tension in the air between them both. Mingi just nods, looking unimpressed, before turning away and heading back towards his room.

“Wait!- I need to apologise.” San urgently rushes after Mingi, who stops in his tracks and turns around wide eyed. He is shocked to say the least. San apologising? Now that’s a rare occurrence. In fact Mingi is pretty sure he has never whitnesed San making the first move to say sorry once in all the years he has known him.

“I should have considered your feelings and let you have time with (Y/N), and I promise that from now on I will make sure of that.” Mingi chuckles, a smile on his face as he hears San’s apology.

“I guess I overreacted too.” Mingi responds, approaching San and pulling him into a hug.

“Finally!” They separate and turn their attention towards the open door, happy laughter filling the room as you skip towards them.

You never thought that you would have Mingi back in your life. All the trauma and heartache finally in the past. As you link your arms with both guys and drag them further into the living room, you feel genuinely happy again.

“Hey- don’t push me!” An evil laugh emits from San mere seconds later as Mingi whines. You roll your eyes as you make your way to sit between them, a find smile on your face. Will they ever stop arguing?
