in human form [bang chan × f!reader]
A/n: this is very, very self indulgent. I always try to make my fics reader inclusive, but since I poured my soul out in this, it’s not 100% a self insert. It’s not OC either, but some aspects of Y/n past are mentioned - mental health and relationship with her parents. I hope you’ll still enjoy it! 🥺
Summary: fresh out of a toxic relationship, you realise your best friend Chan might not be just that, your best friend. Angst (and fluffy and extremely cheesy) best friends to lovers trope. 8.5k (hit me)
Warnings: y/n’s ex was toxic, so was her father, mentions of alcoholism (as the source of some of the issues), anxiety, insecurities, past traumatic experiences (not detailed). It’s not as sad as I may have made it sound, Chan’s a sweetheart and there for you from beginning to end ❤️
For the first time that night, when you felt a hand against your back, you relaxed. “Do you want me to drive you home?” Chan asked, leaning into your side so you could hear him over the loud music at the club.
Aside from the hand that still rested between your shoulder blades, he kept his distance.
“No, it’s fine, thanks” you shook your head but then smiled in appreciation. “I’ll take a cab, you don’t have to leave”
“Do you want to talk to me?"
Another offer he didn’t have to make - another one you desperately wanted to accept but felt like an asshole doing so.
"I’m annoyed. I don’t want to start this right now. We can talk another time”
“I’m here for you” he reminded you, “Please, just let me take you home.”
“You don’t feel like dancing anymore?”
Chan shook his head. He never felt like dancing in the first place, only came so that he could spend some time with you, but unfortunately the night didn’t go as planned.
“I don’t want to ruin your night”
“You’re not ruining my night, Y/n” Chan said sternly, “I want to go home too”
“Then why didn’t you leave earlier?”
That, he couldn’t answer. He knew why, but he couldn’t really tell you that the pain you’ve been struggling to hide has been obvious to him from the very beginning. Instead, he hid his worry behind little acts of kindness, reassuring words and unconditional support, without expecting anything in return. Much like he did now.
“Felt like a party pooper, but you’re my ticket out of here. So? Should we go?”
