A Space Called YOU (Bang Chan x reader)

This Isn't Us

For the next couple of days my head was practically spinning. Each day was the same between my busy schedule and checking in with Taehyun after work, I wasn't focused on anything. It was the same routine every day.

Every morning I'd visit Taehyun at the hospital to make sure he was resting well. Today was different. I chose not to see him today. Instead I had decided to spend the day to myself. I took a day from work and decided to have some fun. It had been a while since I was able to focus on just me.

I decided to go shopping and take my mind off of everything that had happened in the last week. While browsing, I ran into Hyunjin who was also shopping. "Y/n!" He waved over to me as I waved back.

"What're you doing here?" I asked.

"We didn't have much to do today so I thought I'd stop here on the way home."

"I hate to ask you this but I need to know." I paused. "Is Chan doing well?"

"He's doing very well." He smiled. "Don't worry too much. You know how stubborn he is." He laughed. "And lord he never stops talking about you."

"I wish I could say the same. I've been a bit on edge recently so I haven't said anything."

"I completely understand that." He nodded. "If you need anything, please call. You know we're here for you, always." He gave me a quick hug before paying and walking back to his car.

I decided to buy a pair of shoes that I had been looking at the entire time Hyunjin was speaking. I needed a new pair and I deserved this small treat for myself.

On the way back home, I stopped for some coffee. Although it was later in the evening, I really needed something. I paid for an iced americano at the counter and sat at a table near the window as I scrolled through my phone.

Just wanted to let you know I'm okay! Took a day to myself to recover.

I sent the message to Taehyun who was probably worried about me not stopping by.

No worries, Hyung! You need some space. Take every day one step at a time.

I smiled at the message before seeing a notification pop up. A random number popped up in the notification bar.

Unknown: I know what you did.

Y/n: Who's this??

Unknown: *sent 3 photos*

They were pictures of me and Chan on multiple dates throughout our relationship even when we had denied the allegations.

Unknown: I've kept an eye on you. Unless you want me to leak every photo with times and dates, I suggest you stay away from Chan and do as your told.

Y/n: Everyone knows about our relationship, so what if those get out?

Unknown: I also know that your dad was killed in a car accident and I know that you were with him at the time. Does your mom know where you were that day?

My heart sank as I read the message. I had lied to my mom that day and told her I was going out with some friends, but I had snuck off with a boy. I was 15 at the time. I was there when my dad died, I was in the car that hit him.

Y/n: Unless you have proof, I'm not worried about this.

Unknown: I looked through your history. Your bf had talked to the police that night and he ratted you out. You had also gotten out of the car and ran away from the scene. They decided to keep it private because you were a minor, but it's still linked to your name. Your mother would have never known unless she looked it up. But she never suspected her own child.

Y/n: Keep those records away from my mother.

Unknown: I will as long as you stay away from Chan for good. You could lose your job if this gets out and it wouldn't be hard to link you back to the accident.

Y/n: Keep those records and pictures away from the public and I'll stay away.

Unknown: As long as you keep your word, I'll keep mine.

I was practically shaking as I threw my phone down on the table. I needed to clear my head. I needed to do something, anything. I grabbed my things and walked out as I sprinted back home. I quickly grabbed my things and headed to work. I didn't want to be alone in my own house.

"Y/n, I thought you took a sick day?" Jena asked as I opened the door.

"I just thought I'd stop by and help a bit." I smiled and sat down. "Actually, I'll be right back. I need some water." I jumped out of the seat and ran down the hall. My hands shaking as the water poured into the cup. I turned around only to bump into Chan. Out of all the people here it had to he him. "Sorry." I said as I walked. He grabbed my wrist.

"Hold on a second." I turned around and kept my head down. "I can't keep doing this, y/n." He sighed. "I miss you. I miss us. Please don't let this be it."

"We can't be together." I said firmly.

"We won't tell anyone this time. I need you with me. I'm better when you're with me." He tried to kiss me but I dodged it.

"I don't like you anymore!" I lied. "This time apart has made me realize that we should have never been anything more than coworkers." I pulled away. "I'm sorry, but I just dont like you like I used to." I lied once again, turning around and leaving him there. As I walked back I could feel the tears and the lump in my throat as I tried to keep my composure, but I was slowly losing that battle.
