Chapter 7: Emergency alert

Previously on Fix me up...

As (Y/N) made her way to the kitchen, Seven grabbed her hand, making her turning around to face him. Because their lips were only inches away from touching, (Y/N) started to blush from embarrassment.

"... I missed you."

"... Seven, I... we need to talk."

"I know..."

You didn't really know what you should start with; your daily routine? You life ever since you had left him? Or maybe he wanted to talk about himself? At that point, it didn't really matter anymore. You just wanted one of you to break the silence.

And gladly, Seven did:

"So..um, how have you been? Still hacking?"

"Yep, that's my daily job. What about you? Still deceiving people for your company?"

"(Y/N)... look, I'm sorry. I.. I admit, that at first, I only did it for the money. However, as I got to see another side of you and your extremely beautiful skating, I couldn't help but fall in love with you. I tried to stop, but.. I'm basically their slave."

"Do the others know? RFA, I mean."

"No, they don't know... that I tried to, well... hurt you."

"Well.... it's better that way. I don't want them to know that I'm a monster. And... I forgave you a long time ago, Seven. I just.. I just wish that you would've told me the truth, back then. I would have helped you in a heartbeat."

"(Y/N), you are not a monster. And thank you... I really don't deserve you." said Seven, picking your hands up and tightening them in his warm ones. As he was holding your hands, he couldn't help but feel worried; yours were ice-cold, very pale and very small. Trying to gather up some courage, he finally decided to ask you:

"(Y/N), please don't get mad at me, but.. why are you so skinny? And also.. why did my company want that virus you created so much? Even though I tried, I couldn't find anything about it. Just how much are you protecting that virus from leaking out...?"

"I'm not skinny at all, Seven... I'm on a diet, actually. I'm a little bit fat, after all."

Seven couldn't believe his ears: A diet? And you, fat? Felling horror in his heart, he tried to stay calm and keep a normal conversation with you.

"So you're eating normally?"

"Yes."

"You promise?"

"Yeah... A-anyway, about your second question, well.." you stuttered, trying to say something. But you were too ashamed to admit what you have created; a monster. Probably noticing that you were uneasy, Seven hugged you, whispering softly in you ear:

"Take your time...."

You could feel the care and the warmness in his voice. In that moment, you just wanted to be together with him and forget everything that had happened. However, you knew that you couldn't. Tearing up, you struggled to talk so that he wouldn't notice you were on the brink of crying. Finally calming down in his warm embrace , you started to tell him about the virus.

"When I was 13, I already was very good at hacking. It was.. kind of like a hobby. At that time, I only had my abusive coach... my parents died when I was young. So naturally, I had no money and I only ate a meal per day. I was really impatient and foolish... I wanted my own money and my own job: my own life. So I started to take jobs; easy ones at first. But.. I wasn't satisfied with the money. And like that, I began taking dangerous jobs. They were still easy for me. However.."
