I hate U, I love U

Chapter Sixteen

"Aish, why is it raining so hard?" Jihyo said, staring outside the window. "The weather makes me feel hungry. How about you buy us some chicken wings and pizza, brother?" she lightly kicked Jimin, who's sitting on the floor reading his book.

"Stop disturbing me! Just call the delivery," he slapped Jihyo's foot.

"Both stores are just a few blocks away, you idiot!" Jihyo reminded him, kicking him nonstop.

"I can go out and buy them, if you want," Dahyun volunteered.

"Okay! I'll buy them now," Jimin instantly got up and headed to the door.

"Well, that's fast," Jihyo smirked, then focused her attention back to Dahyun. "So Dahyunnie, have you met any cute guys in your school?" she asked, scooting closer to her.

"Hmm well," Dahyun started, not entirely thinking of any. "I'm actually not after cute and handsome guys. But I kinda made a new friend."

"Is he a guy? Tell me everything!" Jihyo excitedly asked.

"Well, yeah, he's a guy. I actually bumped into him and - "

"OMG! That's how it happens in movies!" Jihyo squealed.

"Then I saw him again at the library. That's how I knew that he's a student assistant. And I also found out that he was the one who lent me his PE shirt when mine got ruined," Dahyun said, smiling proudly.

"He's the one! I can feel it. He really is the one," Jihyo declared.

"What are you saying? I barely knew him," Dahyun said. "But it's kinda weird."

"Why?"

"I just met him but there's a weird feeling like I already knew him before," she said.

"That's how soulmates work, Dahyun! Keep me up with the updates, okay?" Jihyo said, giggling a bit.

Just then the doorbell rang.

"That must be Jimin," Dahyun said, standing up to head to the door.

"No, Dahyun, wait," Jihyo said. She found it weird that her brother will ring the doorbell knowing the fact that he freaking lives here!

Jihyo looked at the gate cam. She gasped and her eyes widened.

"What is it, Jihyo?" Dahyun worriedly asked her. She followed her eyes and she grew even more worried when she saw Taehyung at the screen.

"What the hell is he doing here? Does he want to die? If Jimin comes back and sees him..." Jihyo panicked, pacing back and forth. "Wait, Dahyun, what are you doing?" she asked after seeing Dahyun getting an umbrella.

Dahyun didn't answer and just hurriedly headed to the door, not daring to look back at Jihyo who's been calling her.

Heart-pounding, her hands are shaking as she struggled to open the gate.

When she successfully opened it, she was welcomed with drunk Taehyung who gave her a longing gaze with his bloodshot eyes.

"Taehyung... What are you doing here?" she asked. She doesn't know why she's feeling scared and nervous all of a sudden.

But it slowly fades away when she saw his face closely. Busted lips, bruised on his left cheek and his fists are wounded. She doesn't need to ask what happened, because she already knows what he did.

"Didn't I tell you not to go after them? Why do you always get yourself in trouble!" she outbursts, feeling guilty because she's the reason why he got into a fight.

"Then don't do things that will make me worry..." he said in a low tone of voice.

"What?"

Taehyung slowly get close to her. 

She can smell the strong liquor on him.

"You're drunk," she said. "You shouldn't be wandering around the streets, it's dangerous."

She gasped when his cold palm gently met her cheek. He lightly caressed her cheek with his thumb. "I've always wanted to do this ever since you came," he said, staring intently to her eyes.

"Taehyung, what- "

Taehyung suddenly leaned down and captured her lips.

Everything happened so fast.

The next thing that happened, Taehyung is unconsciously lying down on the ground.
