THE LONG GAME ⋆˚࿔ chapter forty-four
When popular actress y/n l/n's private account gets exposed, it is revealed that she has a crush on one of the girls from the girl group katseye. y//n tries to de-escalate the situation, but makes it worse, and loses her chance with the girl. The only way she think of winning the girl over is by playing the long game.
Y/n laid in her bed, bored, watching old SpongeBob episodes. She couldn't believe that someone had hit her car, which gave her a broken leg. Maybe the universe was telling her to stop trying with Megan.
Suddenly, a knock echoed through the house, followed by the soft murmur of voices. A few moments later, the door clicked shut, and silence followed
Then, another knock at her door.
She figured it was one of her friends checking in on her. “Come in.” y/n called, her voice betraying a hint of curiosity as she pushed herself up in bed.
The door creaked open, and in walked Megan, her bright ginger hair falling around her face, her footsteps hesitant. She shut the door behind her.
“Megan? What are you doing here?” y/n asked, raising an eyebrow, though a small flutter of excitement danced in her chest at the sight of the girl.
Megan glanced down, her fingers nervously playing with the hem of her shirt. “Lara told me what happened,” she murmured.
“Oh, of course she did.” She glanced away, her gaze sliding to the window, trying to push back the flood of emotions. “It’s no big deal, honestly. I’m okay… aside from the broken leg and the bruises.”
She dared a glance back at Megan, only to find her staring directly at her with an intensity that made her stomach tighten. The silence between them was thick with unspoken words, but it was clear Megan had come to talk.
“You can sit down if you want.” y/n said, gesturing toward the spot beside her.
Megan nodded, stepping forward cautiously. She sat next to y/n, her body slightly turned.
“I heard… I heard you were on your way to my house when it happened.” Megan began, her voice quiet but insistent. “Lara didn’t tell me why. I would’ve texted you, but, well, you blocked me everywhere.” She shot y/n a pointed look. “Did I do something wrong? Is it because of you and Minji? Are you two... dating now?”
Y/n’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of Minji, but she shook her head. She felt Megan’s hand twitch on the bed beside her, and without thinking, she reached for it, placing her palm gently over Megan’s, fingers brushing lightly across hers. The contact was electric, sending warmth through her body.
“No. You didn’t do anything wrong.” y/n said, her voice lower now. “It’s just... complicated.”
y/n took a steadying breath before continuing. “The day Minji kissed me I didn’t kiss back because I had realized something. And then, everything exploded on Twitter...”
Megan’s brows furrowed in confusion. “But why’d you block me?”
y/n sighed. She felt the weight of her manager’s decisions pressing on her. “It wasn’t my choice. My manager told me to block you, said you were bad press. I didn’t care about that, but... he made me do it. I didn’t want to block you. I just... didn’t feel like I had a choice.”
Megan’s expression softened. “Oh. I thought I did something wrong again.”
“No. It was my bitch ass manager.” y/n chuckled, and Megan’s lips quirked into a small smile, causing y/n’s heart to flip. The tension in the room finally started to ease.
Megan’s gaze lingered on y/n, searching her eyes. “You said you realized something. What did you realize?”
y/n’s breath hitched. Her fingers trembled as she gently lifted her hand from Megan’s and placed it on her cheek. Megan’s skin was warm under her hand, and y/n couldn’t help but let her thumb caress Megan’s soft skin. She looked at her, deeply, with so much more than words could say.
She leaned in slowly, feeling the pull between them, and Megan followed suit. They were hesitant at first, then the kiss got deeper and more desperate. It was like all the unspoken emotions between them months of silence, misunderstandings, and heartache melted away in that one moment.
When they finally pulled away, y/n rested her forehead against Megan’s. She closed her eyes, feeling her heart race wildly in her chest. “The day Minji kissed me, I realized I couldn’t ignore my feelings for you anymore. That’s why I was on my way to your house that night. I was going to tell you, but, well... we all know how that turned out.” She smiled softly, the confession lingering in the air.
“Megan...” y/n whispered, the weight of the moment finally hitting her.
“Mhm?” She hummed, her voice soft.
“I like you.” y/n breathed, unable to keep it inside any longer. “Not in a ‘friend’ way.
Megan’s face lit up, her smile stretching wide. “Well, I sure hope so because we did just kiss.”
y/n scoffed, rolling her eyes, but her smile was just as big giving her a gentle punch on the shoulder.
Megan’s smile softened, and she cupped y/n’s cheek, her thumb brushing across her skin. “I like you too.”
y/n’s heart soared. It felt like she could do a thousand backflips and still never get the rush she was feeling now. “What if I said I loved you?” she whispered.
Megan’s eyes widened, and she grinned like she’d just won a million dollars. “Well... i would say I love you too, but do I get another kiss if I do?”
y/n rolled her eyes playfully, but her lips were already curving into a smile. She leaned in once more, pressing her lips to Megan’s in another kiss until they finally pulled away
“I love you too, y/n.” Megan said, her voice light but sincere. She kissed y/n quickly on the lips before pulling back. “When you get that cast off, let me take you on a proper date.”
y/n beamed. “Sounds like a plan.” she said, excitement bubbling in her chest.
Just then, Megan’s phone buzzed, and she groaned,glancing at the screen. “I have to go.” she sighed. “I forgot me and the girls have to do something today.”
y/n nodded understandingly. “It’s okay, I get it.”
Megan smiled, standing up. But before she left, she turned back to y/n, her eyes soft and full of affection. She crossed the room quickly, kissing y/n one more time.
“I love you, bye.” Megan whispered as she pulled away.
“I love you too.” y/n whispered back, her heart still racing. She pressed her hand to Megan’s cheek, giving her one last kiss before she left.
As the door closed behind Megan, y/n let out a quiet cheer.
