Just friends

Chapter 12

"Tell me what?"

That voice...what is he doing here? Taehyung? no no don't turn back don't turn back Tzuyu, absolutely not

No way he wouldn't have heard anything right? He....he couldn't have been standing there and-

"Yahh! Tae we were not talking about you ugh...also-" Sora puts the lunchbox in her hand that I had given her so we could share our food like we always do on the bench and throws a light punch at Taehyung's chest. "Also THIS KID NEEDS TO STOP EAVESDROPPING!" and she almost chokes him playfully putting one of her arms strongly around his neck

"Yah Kim Sora..yah yah YOU crazy! let go off of me" Taehyung tried to escape the torture as  they played around, bickering ad annoying each other continuously.

"I..." Wait why did I speak up? 

The sound of their laughs stopped, the surrounding was peaceful again and the birds chirping in the trees around our school grounds could be heard, with the morning sunlight glistening across the sky. Their faces turned towards me and I knew I had to speak up immediately to cover up my nervousness.  

"I..I need to go...I have a lesson with Mr. Park after the break..and he uh he-"

"You're stuttering" a female voice spoke up. Somi

"Huh what no no I just need to hurry up guys..take your time both of you. Somi will see you later". of course, Somi would have been able to read me, who would know me any better other than her. I unpacked my things as quickly as I can, brushing my skirt straight after I just got up from the bench, I need to get out of here as soon as possible, I don't want to face him at this moment, not now.

"Tzuyu-ah let me help you" Somi started to come forward leaving Taehyung's side as the boy still looked all puzzled about my state. Will he say something? Do I have to speak to him-

"No..uh uh its fine I can help myself. I am almost done". I could hear Somi's footsteps stop .Packing the last book I had on the bench, I quickly zipped up my bag, swung it across my back and never felt as relived to be leaving this scene as soon as possible.

As I turned to walk past them, I heard a short almost whispered "ah!". I thought of ignoring it at first, it was probably one of them pulling each other's hair anyways, these two really. I chuckled a little thinking about that.

"Ouch" I flinched. What? I turned back immediately feeling the slight pull on my hair from back.

 Our eyes met, like it was meant to happen yet again. There he was, looking at me with those eyes again. Those curious eyes, those eyes filled with care towards me...but only as a friend.

"I am so sorry oh my god- how" This was totally embarrassing, I could sense Somi giggling to herself seeing this. God why...just why do you have to do this to me!!!

"I am sorry just- just I dont even know how this...just stay still ok Taehyung I am trying to just, your sleeves ah" His perfume, it was lovely as always the strong floral scent from his woollen sweater sleeves. Another thing that made me realise his presence around me, it really was Taehyung, Kim Taehyung the one I like so much.

"look" My face lift up towards him, my eyes focussed on his hazel eyes as he looked down towards his sleeves concentrating  on untangling my hair, he was so close, so close to me I hope he cant hear my racing heart. This wasn't in my plan to happen.

"I am taking my leave you two lovebirds" Somi said as she walked past me, bumping into me a little and as I turned to give her a glare, she winked at me instead.

SHE IS SO. DEAD. I SWEAR TO HER BOYFRIEND PARK JIMIN.

"stupid stupid stu-" I kept whispering 

"Not sure you should tell that to someone who is helping you out here" a red tint blush, my cheeks feeling warmer more than ever as he said that looking at me and small, captivating smile in the corner of his lip.
