Can't Buy My Love | Taehyung x Reader

The Masks We Wear

The following day on Monday, while working at the car dealer I tried to be as least depressed as I possibly could. In the evening I was exhausted though, acting like I was happy all day when I certainly was not, took so much energy.

That evening I drank some soju's in the hope I would feel better;

I did not feel better.

I did have a moment in which I couldn't stop thinking about whether I made a terrible mistake. and in that certain short moment I had texted Taehyung.

y/n: taehyung I am really sorry, can we talk? 

Taehyung pov

I stared at the message. A part of me really wanted to text her back immediately, saying that we indeed should talk, well basically I just wanted to hold her until she would undo the break up. But a part of me also couldn't quite shake the uneasiness I felt, because she did break my heart by ending things like that. and I mean all the secrets...

..yes, especially the secrets were a problem.

First there was the thing about Yoongi and how she didn't tell him about me. then there was this thing about her brother and now about her father. 

There surely must be a reason why she reacted that way but I was almost at a point I wasn't too sure I was patient enough to uncover part by part what was bothering her. It was like solving a puzzle but overtime and every time I had to lose before I would get further. If she kept so many secrets from me what else is she hiding? 

y/n pov

There was no response from his side and the entire Tuesday it stayed that way. Unfortunately, I also couldn't take the evening off as I had to work in the bar. I quickly ate something and headed there. as I walked in Yoongi greeted me but there was something disconcerting in his voice, as soon as he saw me his frown only seemed to become more severe.

     'What happened y/n?' he asked very worried.

For some reason I couldn't answer the question, I was fairly certain I wouldn't be able to without crying.

He came closer putting his hand on my arm

     'Is it something with your dad?'

I shook my head and looked down. I cleared my throat, trying to swallow the tears if that was even possible.

       'uhm Taehyung and I broke up.' 

       'What? why?' Yoongi asked shocked.

        'He paid for dads bills'

         'oh'    Yoongi had known me for years, so also throughout the whole thing with my ex and the oh he just let out had a hint of understanding in it.

        'I am sorry y/n' he said but there was something else going on, I just had this eerie feeling about it.

        'so how are things here?' I eventually asked and Yoongi awkwardly looked away.

       'What is it?' I asked worried

         'uhm when I arrived and wanted to get money from the safe I discovered it was all gone.'

My heart dropped

        'What do you mean?' I asked petrified.

          'Jungkook took everything, he left a note but yes he took everything' 

My world was just crashing down on me, It was all too much. How could he betray me like that? Stealing?

I should have changed the password of the safe but I just never imagined Jungkook doing such a thing. I mean he went down a wrong path but this was another low blow.
