Siren ♡ Kim Taehyung/Reader FF ♡ Completed ♡

33.

"You kissed me." Y/N's eyes widen as she steps back.

"I should say that I'm sorry, that it was wrong of me but as twisted as this sounds I'm not." Kiko runs a hand over her face, letting out a heavy sigh.

Y/N goes to respond, mouth opening but Kiko beats her to it.

"Just listen to me first, then you can say whatever you need to say okay?"

Y/N struggles to respond, eyes still ridiculously wide as she stares at her friend.

"Fucking hell Y/N, calm down okay? I'm not going to touch you again, just relax and listen to me."

She gives a nod, watching closely as Kiko pours herself another glass of Nigori.

"I spent seven days in Tokyo thinking about you, couldn't even focus on enjoying myself with my family because all that was on my mind was your blossoming relationship with Taehyung." Kiko furrows her brow, lips pursed as she swirls the drink around in her glass.

"I'm pretty good at hiding things, especially when it comes to my feelings. I've hidden this secret around for years, didn't have the guts to tell you because I was afraid of the rejection. I didn't have any intention of ever telling you but then Taehyung showed up, swept you off your fucking feet and I could see it you know....I see the way your eyes light up and go all dreamy whenever you talk about him. I can see how happy he makes you, how he makes you feel confident in yourself again. I tried for so long you know? I really did." Kiko cursed the way her throat tightened, avoiding all eye contact as she took a sip of her drink before continuing.

"I was in denial at first, told myself that it was just some stupid crush but then I got the call about your accident and fucking lost it. I remember my heart racing...just fucking pounding against my chest as I rushed to the hospital to see you. I screamed at some poor guy just doing his job because he couldn't tell me which room you were in, I was frantic and the moment I got to see you....laying in that bed looking so broken and so fragile I just knew." Kiko finally looked up, eyes filled with tears.

"I knew that you weren't just a friend to me, that my love for you wasn't purely platonic.....I haven't left your side since. I know that you're straight, that you'll never feel for me what I feel for you but I'm stupidly still asking it there's a chance for us. I know that you're working through things with Tae but before it's too late and for my own piece of mind....I just need to know." Kiko felt the first few tears fall, cursing herself for getting so emotional. She fucking hated crying, she didn't usually do this emotional bullshit.

"I want you to know that no matter what your answer.....I still love you, you're still my closest friend and I don't want to lose that. I just hope I haven't fucked everything up by confessing to you....I didn't plan on this. I just wanted to come and see you but then....you opened the door and told me that Taehyung said he loved you and that you said you loved him back and something just snapped inside me and fuck." A sob left her lips.

"This is so fucking stupid, I don't even know what I'm expecting." She shakes her head, hands dropping to her sides.

"I told myself to relax, see my family for a few days and try not to think about you but all I did was fucking think about you especially when you started messaging me about Taehyung. I know he's a sweet guy and that he obviously cares for you but.....I just need to know Y/N. I guess all these years hiding how I felt was too much for me to deal with once you opened that door and told me you said those three words back. I knew one day it would happen, just wasn't expecting it so soon or for it to feel like this."

Y/N's heart ached.

Kiko was always the strong one in their friendship, never letting anything or anyone break her down. Y/N hated seeing her like this, especially when she was the cause of it.

"I'm sorry Ki, you know I love you but....."

"Just not in the same way." Kiko finished.

Y/N gave a nod, her own tears falling. "I never knew....all this time I was completely oblivious to how you felt about me. I'm so sorry Ki....for everything."

"Don't do that....don't say sorry, you haven't done anything wrong okay? We can't force ourselves to love someone, sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. It fucking sucks that you don't feel the same, not going to lie about that but I always knew....I'll be okay but please promise me this isn't going to make everything weird between us? I don't want to lose you as my friend, I really hope I haven't fucked this up."

"Come here." Y/N sobbed, arms wrapping tightly around her friend.

"You won't lose me, not now....not ever okay? I'm just sorry I don't feel the same, sorry for rubbing my relationship with Tae in your face all this time....if I had known."

"Y/N don't okay, stop saying sorry about all this....you didn't know."

Y/N still couldn't quite believe all this was happening, one minute she's talking with her best friend about Taehyung and then the next 'said' best friend confesses to loving her for years.....how does one even begin to deal with that kind of bombshell.

It wasn't going to be easy for them, things would be awkward for a little while and rightly so but Y/N loved Kiko and regardless of the confession she would still be there for her.

What about Taehyung? Should she tell him about Kiko's confession? How would he even react to something like that?

There was so much to go over and think about but for now she held her friend, whispering over and over again that they would make it through this.

"I'm so proud of you Y/N, just wanted you to know that Taehyung isn't the only one who can see how perfect you are. The scars....the accident only made you that much stronger and to see you make this breakthrough makes me so happy, I'm just sorry my confession ruined the big day tomorrow."

Y/N shook her head, hands gently rubbing circles over Kiko's back.

"Don't be silly, I'm obviously surprised by the confession and it'll take time for me to process everything but you haven't ruined anything. I'm still feeling good, a little sad that my best friend is so upset and there's nothing much I can really do about it but I'm good, we're good and tomorrow everything is still going ahead as planned."

"Are you going to tell Taehyung I kissed you? That I confessed?" Kiko drew back, no longer crying but eyes still puffy and red.

"I hadn't really thought that far ahead, just knew I needed to finally confess and see if there was a chance before I chickened out again. Fuck, Taehyung is going to hate me....then he'll stop you from spending time with me because he won't trust me and I can't say I can even blame him for that."

"Ki stop." Y/N chuckled, thumbs brushing gently across Kiko's cheeks in an attempt to calm her down.

"Taehyung isn't like that, he's different....something tells me that he'll understand."

"So you're going to tell him then?"

"Going to tell me what?"

The two women spun around, eyes immediately falling across the very man they were talking about.

Taehyung's brow was furrowed, eyes pained as he clutched a bouquet of daisies in his left hand.

Oh shit.
