F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Chapter 32

Continuation..

I heard my parents' footsteps getting near, but I did not bother looking at them.

My eyes are stuck at him, he's fixing his hair and his clothes. He smiled awkwardly at me. I am so close to burst out and shut the hell out of Lyndon whose now so happy teasing Taehyung. He went near Taehyung and touch his shoulder as he look at me.

He was having fun making me mad.

I step closer to Taehyung and got the papers that he is holding and throw it to Lyndon's face. Lyndon vlose his eyes by my sudden move. My dad called my name and mom went near us, in between me and Lyndon.

"How dare you command him to do things!" I shouted at him. Taehyung held my hands and that's when I realized I am shaking.

"Jennie." He whispered.

Lyndon chuckled lowly so I look at him once again. I feel like I have daggers coming out from my eyes.

"He's not our employee dad! He is a professional artist! And you have the nerve to let him do the deliveries! How dare you!" It's my first time to talk back to my parents.

Taehyung hold to my hands are now so tight. And he keeps on calling my name.

"We didn't let him do that Jennie. He was the one who offered for help." Dad answered in a calm way.

"And since he wants to help why not let him do the deliveries, you see a lot of people know him so I thought it would be good for the business." Lyndon blurted out like nothing's wrong with his statement.

I went near him and slap his face. "Are you insane?!" I think I'll lose my voice because of shouting! "Well you are insane! Who are you to say that?!"

"Jennie." Mom was so close to shouting as well but I did not mind her.

"Jennie let's get out of here." Taehyung whispered trying to calm me. That's when I look at him, with frustration in my eyes.

"How about you? Why would you let them do that to you? Aren't you thinking Kim Taehyung?!" He close his mouth and stood there in front of me, he was so serious now.

He grab me out from that stupid place and drag me inside his car. When he went inside he didn't bother lookong at me and began driving.

I hurriedly buckled my seatbelt while his was not buckled. I want to call his name but when I saw his expression I know he is not in the mood and that he is mad.

After minutes of driving, I found out that we are outside my house. He didn't say anything so I took off my seatbelt and was about to go out when he talked.

"I did that to keep you." His voice was low but I can still hear it. "When I said I'll prove myself to your parents I had a hard time to understand things about business." He laughed at his statement, making the atmosphere lively. "I did my best to keep you Jennie. I want to prove to Lyndon that I can accept everything that your father wants me to do even if it means delivering things to people."

"Even if making my profile low, even if making myself look stupid. I want to show to you that I can stop performing and do things for your family just to have you." Now he was silently sobbing. He is cobering his face with his big hands so I can't see him crying.

"But I never ask you to do that. I already told you not to."

"And then what? See you getting married with Lyndon?" I turn silent with his question.

"I know that I lied Jennie. But I didn't say anything to you because I don't want you yo hate your parents."

"Sorry to tell you this Tae I found out about that lie, and I am jating them more. Stop going to the company and just focus performing." I hopped out from his car and began walking to the door when a hand grab my arm.

He turn me to him and embrace me.

I cried on his chest, and punch his back weakly.

"I'm sorry. Please don't let me go." His voice is pleading and he is back yo crying again. I can feel his breath at the crook of my neck.

"Let's give each other some time to think. I want you to focus on your career and to yourself." I pulled out from his hug. And walk away from him again.

I twisted the knob and open the door slowly.

"That's better than letting me go." He whispered. "I'll wait for you Jennie." Tears flow out from my eyes again. It blurs my vision as I push the door again and close it as soon as I got in.

Jisoo unnie look at my direction she is watching a drama in my living room, she stood up and hug me.

My legs were weak so I sat on the floor and cried my heart out.

"It's okay I am here." She console me while caressing my back.

I heard his engine starts and he drove off. I am still crying on the floor when unnie got her phone and call someone.

[Jin, V drop Jennie here in her house. And I think they aren't in good terms right now. Can you track him and comfort him now.]

Unnie went to my kitchen to get something. And when she ame back she is holding a glass of water and give it to me.

I sipped on it and put it beside me on the floor.

[I'll talk to you later. Just take care of V]

I hug both of my knees and put my head on it. I keep on thinking what just happened earlier. Am I doing a right thing?

Am I letting his hopes high?

"Jennie sit on the sofa." Instead of sitting on the sofa, I walk slowly upstairs to my room. Unnie is following me from behind.

"I want to be alone unnie." She sigh and nodded.

"Just don't do anything stupid please." I nod at her and open the door of my room. I closed it and locked myself inside. I lean on my door and slowly sat on the floor again. Then I cried.

I shouldn't have let him inside my system. I shouldn't have let him see how I like him. How I love him. How I adore him. If only I can bring back the past.

I should just keep myself away from him.

Unnie knock on my door. "Jennie come out if you are okay. Just let it all out. It's okay to cry, it's okay to be weak sometimes."

Even if unnie can't see me, I still nod.

AFTER hours of crying I didn't realize I dozed to sleep.

I was awake when I heard a knock on my door. I was lying down on the floor. Hugging myself.

"Unnie? You there?" I heard Lisa's voice.

"Maybe she is sleeping." Chaeyoung said.

"It's 7 already. She can't skip dinner." Jisoo unnie said then a moment of silence.

Once again someon knocks on my door. I push mysel up and twist the knob to open it.

My three members were shocked to see me but they composed themselves and smiled.

"I'm not hungry." I was about to close my door when I heard someone coming up the stairs.

"Is she still locking herself up?" Jin oppa asked. I was actually stunned to see him here in my house. He was wearing a jeans and a black jacket. "You're awake now? Let's eat." He invited me.

I was gonna ask why he is here but then my members followed him.

I followed them downstairs. I did not bother looking myself at the mirror. As soon as I got inside the dining area, the boys are here. Except for Taehyung.

"Who is he with?" I suddenly ask. All of them look at me.

"Hyung told me he's going home to Daegu. He'll be fine noona." It was Jungkook who answered.

"Then why are you all here?"

"He told us to comfort you instead. He wants us to be there for you to support you." Jin oppa answered.

I am left standing. I was thinking about how carefree he is for letting his members came here to comfort me. He is making me his priority while I am not making him mine.
