LOVE BITE || Joonha × Reader ✔

chapter 28 | Own me

The tiredness still controlling my body, I stay in bed and text Minsun while Joonha is still sleeping.

< hey, what is the problem? You can tell me ]

[ Something happened yesterday bcs of your friends, and they said some stuff about me that was pretty disgusting. My boyfriend is pretty mad about it and he doesn't feel comfortable about me talking to you anymore bcs of the way they behave and also the fact that they said you apparently have a crush on me. Is that true? And I don't want you to lie to me, I want you to be honest >

< I'm so sorry y/n I swear I never agree with the stuff they say, that's why I told you right from the beginning to never approach them or let them spend time with you. They're always saying a lot of shit but they're the only friends I have so I'm scared to show I disagree and lose them. Idk why they said that but it's not true. I don't have a crush on you, I just like to hang out with you bcs you're fun and sweet compared to the others over there ]

I heavily sigh, wondering if he is telling the truth or keeping it to himself.

< I swear I'd rather stop talking to them instead of losing you. If I have to be honest with them and tell them I don't want to be friends with them anymore, I will, but I need to make sure I won't lose you too. You maybe don't understand but I'm just scared to be alone ]

[ why? Do you have a hard time making friends? >

< kinda keeping them tbh bcs as you must have noticed, I'm pretty quiet and awkward so people get easily tired of me and forget about me ]

He is making me feel even more bad about putting an end to our friendship.

[ I understand, it's okay. It's just that I don't like your friends at all and I wouldn't want you to be like them, you know? You're a kind and sweet person so that would hurt me a lot >

< I'm not like them, I promise I'll never have their mindset ]

[ you knew they're the ones who messed Joonha's skateboard tho? They must have told you >

< what? No I didn't know about that. If I did I'd have told you I swear. I'd even have warned you beforehand so that Joonha would know. I'm not surprised tho bcs they hate Joonha, they're pretty jealous of him ]

[ I really want to trust you but even if we keep talking, I won't spend time with you at the skatepark that much anymore bcs I really love my boyfriend and I don't want him to be worried or uncomfortable about it >

< it's fine, I totally understand. I just don't want you to think I'm a bad guy bcs I'm not. I'd never be like that and thats why I always like to spend time with you instead of them ]

[ thank you, I'm glad you understand. You should stop hanging out with them tho. You can hang out with Hyunjin or Seunggil instead, they're good guys and they won't ever make you feel like shit for not being perfect >

< thank you I don't think they like me tho ]

[ don't say that. That's not true. I'll tell them about it so that you can stop being with those guys >

< I won't hang out with them anymore from now on anyway don't worry ]

[ it's better for you >

I lock my phone and put it down on my nightstand, and I turn my head towards Joonha to see his features.

I never had to make such a choice. I never had a boyfriend, so I do not know whether I am in the wrong or not.
