Butterfly || Kim Taehyung

16

Taehyung glanced around the classroom, gears turning in his head as he did his calculation. There were twenty nine girls in class. Out of them, he had rejected six. The most probable people out of them, he thought, were Soojung, Yoona and Sayuri. He didn't know how, but he felt like it. As he looked up again to make sure he didn't leave anyone, one of the girls caught his eye and winked. 

Maybe in the past, he would have flirted back, but he simply ignored her and continued looking around the room. His eyes landed on you, sleeping in the very back. You always seemed exhausted and weary and you didn't even give him a second glance. Like you simply didn't care about him. He was almost sure it wasn't you. But what if it was? 

He still remembered all the times he spent with you. At the cafeteria, in the breaks between classes, roaming around the campus talking about nothing and everything, trading notes, he remembered it all. A part of him really wanted his butterfly to be you. Another part of him didn't want to be betrayed by you again. He sighed and looked back to the board to find the teacher explaining the topic for the third time for whatever reason. He pulled out his phone and hid it under the desk before texting Jimin.

Tae:
Soojung, Yoona, Sayuri or Y/N?

JamlessJim:
What? 

Tae:
Which one could be butterfly?

JamlessJim:
Idk man. Probably Yoona?

(A/N: When Jungkook told Jimin that day about Y/N, he hadn't revealed that she was butterfly because Kookie is a good boy and he keeps his promises. In short, although Jimin had talked to Y/N that day, he hadn't known she was the girl Taehyung was trying to find.)

Tae:
Maybe

JamlessJim:
Y/N

Dude, she talked to me recently. 

Tae:
Of course she did

You two dating yet?

JamlessJim:
No, you idiot. She wanted to find out why you ghosted her. How many times do I have to tell you she doesn't like me, but likes you?

Shit, I found it

I have her answer now

Tae:

Y/N never liked you??

You stirred awake as your phone buzzed in your pocket. The professor honestly didn't care that you were sleeping. He looked sleepy himself, which lead you to nod off in response, kind of like how a person yawning makes a person besides them yawn. You read the texts from Jimin before reading Taehyung's.

Jimin:
I found the girl who lied to Taehyung. Her name's Sayuri. 

You:
Lol, stop playing. 

She's my best friend. 

Jimin:
Why would I lie to you?

He had a point. And you hated it. 

You:
Maybe you got her name wrong. 

Jimin:
I know for sure it's her. She's the reason I had a fight with my soulmate. Of course I'd know. 

You:
You didn't remember her name. 

You said it started with U.

Jimin:
Yeah, sayUri. 

I think I just remembered the U or smthg. idk

But it's her. She told Taehyung you liked me and you said she was your best friend, right?

Tae wouldn't have believed it if someone else had told him, but since she's your bff it could mean he found it easier to believe. idk

I told you everything I know. 

You:
Okay.

Thanks for helping, I guess. 

You wiped the entire conversation out of your mind, opening the chat with Taehyung. Jimin's claim seemed ridiculous. You didn't even want to think about it. 

Tae:
Baby, Jimin is ignoring me

You:
Haha, you probably deserved it. 

You're kind of like a dog. One that needs constant attention. 

Tae:
Am I a cute dog??
( ◡‿◡ *)

You:
Deja vu?

You're the cutest dog ever.

You make me bust UwUs.

Tae:
You're so cute 
(≧◡≦) ♡

You:
(*ﾉωﾉ)

No, you're cute

Tae:
No, you are

You:
You don't even know how I look like

Tae:
wdym??? I'm looking at you right now

Eyes widening, you looked up to see Taehyung looking around. It was a test. He'd sent that message to see who would respond to it. You weren't fast enough to duck as he pinned his gaze on you. Mild shock, amusement and excitement flitted across his face. 

"Please pay attention students," the professor drawled. 

Heart thumping almost painfully in your chest, you shifted your attention to the front of the class again. You didn't know what to feel, not until you knew what he felt. As your phone buzzed with a new message, you couldn't stop yourself from hurriedly checking it. 

Tae:
I caught you, my butterfly

Don't think I'll let go of you this time

You pursed your lips to stop a smile.
