05: Perfect me

❀ ❀ ❀

You had a plan. You were going to try to put Heather in the back so she doesn't take your spotlight. For that, you took out your notebook full of songs and decided to choose one. Reading through the lyrics of the songs gave you goosebumps. This could be a surprise for Tae. You can play guitar. You know the melody of the song you wrote. You just never sang it in front of people. This is your chance.

"Heather...We got the perfect song. I wrote this ages ago and this is my opportunity to sing it live," You told her You gave her the notebook and she reads through it. "We just pick our lines a rehearse it," You add.

"This looks good to me," She smiles. "Do you want me to come to your house after school to rehearse?" She asked. You froze to think. You nodded yes then the bell ringed. She waves at you. "Gotta head to my next class. See you later!"

You wave at her slowly and weakly. With a slight smile on your face. You pack your stuff up and watch her walk away so gracefully. All eyes are on her like always. You were going to your next class when you hear something.

"Hey, Heather! How was class?" Taehyung asked her excitedly. She giggles. "It was exciting! We will get to perform a song! I got partnered with Y/n!" She answered. "Y/n! can you believe it! She's so cool!" She adds.

You lowered your head. You can hear them like they are the only ones talking. Taehyung looks at you walking away slowly.

"Y/n...yeah...that's cool, I can't wait for your performance," Taehyung smile and back at her. Heather hugs him tightly. "I can't wait either!" She says and gives him a small peck on his forehead. People around them saw and started whispering.

"Let's go to class idiot," Taehyung laughed.

You felt tired. Stressed. You were about to fall asleep during class. Why can't things be like the old days? Before Heather. When you were happy with Tae. Now you live with the worry that he'll break up with you. You live with the worry that he loves her. Her.

But he loves you, right?

You were walking back to homeroom waiting for dismissal. You lay your head on the desk and think about the money. You still had the little letter the person gave you. Such luck. Or was it.

Heather and Taehyung burst in laughing to their seats. You didn't care much. You didn't care about anything at the moment but your family. Heather and Taehyung notice your strange attitude. They wanted to talk to you but they called dismissal and you quickly left. You were stuck in the crowded hallways waiting to go out. Someone taps your shoulder.

"Hey, Y/n. Did you and Taehyung break up?" They asked.

"No?... Why...?"

"Oh, nothing sorry..."

You were bewildered by the sudden question. You waited for Taehyung in front of his car. Thinking about the question the person told you came up with some theories in your head. Theories like: Is he cheating on you for Heather. Most likely.

Taehyung and Heather arrive and stop when seeing you. "Can I borrow your car?" You asked, softly and patiently.

"We were going to the music shop and I was going to drive heather home–"

"Ok, Ok. I'll go like this then," You interrupted him and left. Taehyung felt guilty but didn't stop you which disappointed you. You called Mari.

"Hello? Y/n?"

"Hey, Mari. Sorry to interrupt, but can you pick up my brother for me?" You asked.

"Sure...Why can't you go?"
