Chapter 27: The Only One Who Knows

"Yoongi Oppa..... will you be my boyfriend?"

I finally managed to ask him the question. I needed Yoongi to pretend to be my boyfriend around Hyung so that he won't be suspicious. I told Hyung that I liked Yoongi and the only way to make him believe me is if Yoongi helps me.

"W-what are you talking about?" He stuttered and turned red on me.

I told Yoongi what happened between Hyung and me. Yoongi just listened on without saying a word. When I finished, I anticipated for an answer from him hoping he'll at least help me out with this if he wasn't going to help me out with Hoseok.

"Please Yoongi Oppa! You only have to pretend while Jimin Hyung is around." I begged.

Again, he was quiet, as if he was internally having a battle with himself. He didn't spare one look at me. Instead, his gaze was focused on his plate of food.

"Oppa, you're the only one who truly knows my feelings. And I know I'm asking too much from you, but I really need your help this time... please...?"

I start to feel my lips quivering. I bit my bottom lip to stop it from trembling and Yoongi finally looks up at me.

"I told you to stop biting your lips. It turns me on..." and then he grinned so widely showing off his gummy smile and continues to eat.

"Does that mean y-you'll help me?"

"Yeah, I'll help you. But you'll have to help me too."

"What else do I have to do for you? I'm already doing everything you ask of me."

He chuckles lightly before his eyes turned serious.

"Stay away from Hoseok."

"But Oppa, You know I can't. I need him to like me-" I was cut off by Yoongi suddenly getting up from his seat. He angrily walked towards me and grabbed me by my arm and stood me up to face him.

"Then I won't help you. Leave."

And he drags me to the front door and opens the door up for me.

"Yoongi Oppa..." I called out to him.

I should have known better that Yoongi wouldn't help me. He resents me for trying to ruin his best friend and the person he love's wedding. I'd probably react the same way. I know I won't stop, not until Hyung and Mi-Young end up together. So, I put on my shoes and left his apartment. He shut the door in my face. I turned around feeling like shit and headed towards the elevator.

I pressed the down arrow and was waiting for the elevator when all of a sudden Yoongi grabbed my wrist and pulled me back into his apartment. He slams the front door shut and harshly pushed me up against the door. He punched the door missing my face by a few inches.

"How much more stupid are you going to get?!!!" He screamed at me.

I felt hot tears streaming down my face. His face softens up when he noticed my tears. He pulled back and ran his hand through his mint hair. He gently grabs my hand and slowly drags me into his living room and sat me down. I noticed that his hand was bleeding a bit from punching the door earlier. He sat down next to me and calmly asked me,

"Why are you hurting yourself like this Hani?"

I stayed silent and sniffled.

"You said he confessed to you, so why are you being so stubborn?"

"I want to be selfish. I want to hold Hyung and tell him how much he means to me. I want to love him, but I can't get past the heartbreaking look in Mi-Young's eyes." I quietly whispered to Yoongi. I started shaking and tears were streaming down my face as I continued.

"H-how do I tell her? Huh? How? That I love the same person she does Oppa? Especially when I-I told her that I never even liked Hyung in the first place. It was a tiny fib that grew into a much larger lie that I can't get out of now. I don't want to lose Mi-Young. I can't lose her. She means just as much to me as Hyung does... I-I can't break her heart Yoongi. I would rather hurt than to cause her any heartache."

"Then what about Jimin? He loves you. You think it's going to be easy to just move on for him?"

"That's why I need you Oppa. I-I need you to help me. Pretend with me so he can move on. Mi-Young will comfort Hyung. She'll take care of him when he's hurt and he will eventually fall in love her. I know he will. Mi-Young is a great girl and I know you know too. You loved her too-" I cut myself off quickly by bitting my lips to stop myself from talking anymore.

"Wait, what? I love who?" Yoongi asked me.

My mind was clouded with excuses to try and get me out of this. I did mean to let him know that I knew about his feelings for Mi-Young. In the end, since he is the only person I've been honest to, I told him everything.

"I know about you liking Mi-Young too...." I whispered to Yoongi.

He lightly chuckles and then bursts into a loud throaty laugh.

"Who told you I liked Mi-Young?" He asked while wiping a teardrop on the corner of his eye.

"Mi-Youngie did.... Don't you?" I asked completely puzzled at his reaction.

He calmed down from his laugh and then finally turns to me.

"Hani, I don't like Mi-Young. Aish, that girl is spreading rumors about me when I am not even affected by her at all..." Yoongi replied while shaking his head.

"But.. Mi-Young said you confessed to her and-and that you hated her because she was going to marry Hoseok. Y-you don't like her?"

He simply nodded his head no.

"I was in love with someone else....." His voice trailed off.

"Wait, what? Who were you in love with?" I asked as my voice raised a bit and eye furrowed in confusion.

Who else could Yoongi have loved if it wasn't Mi-Young? It was only the three of them. And then, it finally hit me hard. He didn't like Mi-Young because....

"H-Hoseok? You loved Hoseok Oppa didn't you???"

His smile was gone and he was no longer laughing. Instead, his face was full of guilt, as though I had just caught him doing something bad. His eyes started to turn moist and he lightly let out a chuckle before answering me.

"Yeah.... The one I loved was Hoseok...." He turned away from me and stared off into space, totally lost in thought.

My heart ached for Yoongi Oppa. I had thought I understood everything. His anger and rage towards me weren't because of Mi-Young. It was Hoseok. He loved Hoseok, the person I was planning on seducing.

"Yoongi Oppa.... I'm so sorry. I didn't know-" I started but was cut off by Yoongi.

"Why are you apologizing? I love Hoseok and he won't return my feelings so it's okay. I'm fine as long as he is happy."

He had a sad smile on his face.

"Which is why I want you to stay away from Hoseok. He loves Mi-Young. She is his happiness and I didn't want you to ruin it for him..."

A tear escaped his eyes before he got up from the couch.

"But, a deal is still a deal. I made that deal with you so I'll keep my word. I just don't want Hoseok or you to end up getting hurt. You're putting yourself into a lot of mess that you can't seem to get out of, so I have no choice but to get that stupid head of yours straight. You can leave now."

He tried to walk away, but I got up and caught his hand to stop him from leaving. I didn't know where he kept his first aid kit so I pulled him into the kitchen towards the sink to run some water over his hand. I gently rubbed his wound to wash away the dried blood, trying not to hurt him. I carefully dabbed his injury with a paper towel to dry off his hand.

"Make sure you put some ointment on it. You're the only person who knows my truth and I'm sorry for that Yoongi Oppa."

I made my way to the door and was about to open it up when I suddenly felt a pair of hands around my waist. I froze and he held on tightly. His chin resting lightly on my shoulder and his voice was barely a whisper.

"You also knows my truth too Hani... I'll do it. I'll be your boyfriend."
