By The Way, I Love You.

Chapter 36

Reader's POV

Well here we go. It's time for me to go back home. I'm currently waiting at the bus station for my bus going to my hometown to arrive. I wore a mask and cap just to make sure I don't get mobbed since I'm all alone right now and I have no bodyguards and managers to protect me. 

But still, somebody recognized me. Luckily, she wasn't the type to go all crazy when she sees a celebrity. She did it kinda funny actually. I decided to sit in a secluded place. Suddenly she sat beside me. I wondered for a moment why the hell she would pick the exact seat next to me when she can sit literally 6 seats away from me in both direction. I was surprised when she spoke.

"Hey, aren't you Y/N from TWICE?" She asked quietly. At the moment I panicked a bit but then she continued. "Don't worry, I get that you're trying to hide. So you can count on me with that." 

I sighed in relief. "So I'm guessing you're a fan?" 

"Yep, a huge fan, especially of you. I mean, I watch TWICE form ever since Sixteen and I was a bit shocked when you were included. I'll admit, I was a bit mad thinking that a guy would ruin TWICE. But I watched you perform with them and I was very surprised seeing you do well with them. I never thought it would be possible for a guy to shine along with 9 girls even with songs that are meant for girls to sing and perform. From there, I became your fan." She said and I kept listening to her praising me.

"Thank you. Really. You know I thought the sane way as you before. I was scared that I wouldn't fit in. I also thought the fans wouldn't like me in there and would just keep saying that I'm ruining the group. But I was surprised and really glad that the response was very positive. Especially with people like you who decided to like me more than the girls. I greatly appreciate you for that." I said and she blushed. 

"N-no problem. Anyway, my bus is here. Can I have an autograph before I leave?" 

"Of course." She gave me her album and I signed it. 

"I hope to see you soon in your next performance." 

"Yeah about that, our next performance might be next year again." I said scratching the back of my head and her eyes widened.

"Wait, why is it that long? What's gonna happen to you guys?" 

"I can't tell you the reason right now. But I want to tell you that we will be going on hiatus. It's just a head's up. I do hope you'll keep supporting us." 

"Of course we will. We will all be waiting even if you go on hiatus for 4 years. We love you so much and you guys have a special place in our hearts already. We will be forever a ONCE." She said and I smiled at her.

"Thank you so so very much." I said to her and she started to leave.

"By the way good luck to you and Tzuyu. I ship you guys so much." She said walking away and all I could do was smile at her. I mean, I can't really say anything. But I do hope it all works out with me and Tzuyu. But that's not now, sadly. 

I check the time and my bus had arrived as well. I go on to look for it and got on it. I immediately went for a seat at the back and luckily it was already dark outside so no one noticed who I was. I sat and the bus rode off.

I kept thinking about my situation right now. I can't just run away forever. I have to confront them someday. But I don't really know what to do. I can't just go to them. They'll have a lot to say and immediately kick me out. Mina might be on my side but I doubt she can change the minds of the others. Maybe I should just relax for now. I've got a long vacation ahead of me anyway. Plus, maybe I can ask advice from mom and dad.

1 hour later

I finally arrived to my house. I stood there on the front door and rang the doorbell. From there I could only hear mom and dad talking so I'm guessing the two kids are asleep. The door opens and mom greets me with a surprised look and a huge smile. She hugged me very tightly.

"You're back son! Why are you here again? I mean, don't get me wrong I love having you here but why have you come back? Don't you have a schedule you have to stick to?" 

"It's a long story mom, can I come inside first?"

"Of course, tell us about it while you eat. We still have some leftovers from dinner a while ago." 

I walk inside my house and mom goes straight to the kitchen to prepare my food I guess. I walk to the living room and saw dad. I went to him and hugged him as well.

"Son why are you here?" He looks at me for a bit "Ah I see, you have a problem. And I'm guessing it's about Tzuyu." Damn that's a good guess. I guess as a guy he can tell that I'm going through something.

"Son you're food is ready." Mom shouts from the kitchen.

"C'mon, tell us about it while you eat." Dad says and I nod.

We got there and I sat in front of the food. They sat across me.

"So start talking, we'll listen until you finish." Mom said. 

I took a deep breath before talking "So it started when Jennie from BLACKPINK suddenly confessed her love for me. At this time I already had Tzuyu so I obviously rejected her. But then she kissed me and someone got a shot of it. As usual it got attention from the media and it spread like wildfire. Tzuyu saw it and got mad but I was able to explain it to her. She forgave me and made a plan to get Jennie out. We decided to announce that me and Tzuyu were official in our fanmeeting."

"Yeah I watched that. That was the most exciting thing I saw that day. So that's why Jennie looked so bummed about it." Dad suddenly spoke and mom slapped him on the arm and he simply mouthed 'sorry'.

"Continue." Mom said.

"So then after which I talked to Jennie backstage. She proposed to me that I date her secretly for three months. I declined but she threatened me with her powers with YG and at that time I believed she can actually do it. So then for a month I secretly dated her and on one day she brought me to a hotel. There I drank alcohol with her and got a bit tipsy. She proposed to end it all if I had sex with her. So I agreed. But apparently she took a video of it and she showed it to Tzuyu. So now she's mad at me. Very mad. And that's why I went here." I ended and they were silent for a bit.

"Look son, I can understand why you did that. You were only doing it for your relationship with Tzuyu. But that's still not an excuse. You still did wrong and you have to admit to that." Dad said and he does have a good point. I've always thought that since I was doing this for Tzuyu I wasn't doing anything wrong. 

"And about Tzuyu, just give her some space for now. Let her anger die down. When you think she's ready, talk to her. For the meantime, you're welcome to stay with us as long as you like." Mom said. I went to them both and gave them a huge hug. I'm glad to have parents like them.
