Chapter Twenty Seven : Johnny

"You slept with Taehyung?!" I stared at my screen. First of all, how did he know? Second of all, why the fuck did he think it was any of his business.

Also, what did he mean I slept with Taehyung. Yeah, I didn't sleep with him, but I didn't sleep with him. I didn't have sex.

I fanned my face. The only thought made my cheeks burn up.

"Why are you blushing?" Taehyung smiled from the computer chair.

"Uh, nothing, don't worry." I dismissed, looking back at my screen. What was I supposed to reply to Johnny. I wanted to ask him how he knew, I wanted to deny having had sex with Taehyung.

Damn. I heard that voice in my head. Not getting used to the idea....I looked up at Taehyung only to find him looking at me with an amused smile.

"I'm just thinking." I made a dismissive move with my hand and he chuckled looking back at the screen.

"I don't know what you're thinking about, but seems to me that you're thinking about something hot." Taehyung said, his back turned to me.

"Just edit, okay! And don't forget to make a list of what you change." I ordered out of spite. He laughed out loud this time and did as asked.

"Johnny can you stop talking to me? I used to be good friends with you, and I enjoyed working with you so much but I don't know why, maybe you revealed your true colours that night, I don't know, truth is, you're scaring me. Stop trying to control me. You have no right over me." I don't know what inspired to write this, probably my heart...

I sighed and looked in front of me. I wondered how he was going to react to this.

My phone buzzed in my hand. Johnny was calling me. I glanced at Taehyung then back at my phone before picking up.

"What?" The aggressiveness of my answer earned a worried look from Taehyung.

"Listen, Kiaraa, I'm sorry."

"You said they already, Johnny. I don't want to hear apologies anymore."

"Kiaraa, I'm just warning you, this will only end badly for you."

"Why are you worried about that? Huh? We're barely even friends anymore. And you don't know anything. You're assuming things."

"You slept with Taehyung, I know that."

"No, I did not sleep with Taehyung." Taehyung turned around. "Well, yeah, I did sleep with Taehyung. But I didn't have sex with him if that's what you're worried about." I felt so embarrassed.

I saw Taehyung blush wildly. Well, I still couldn't think about that or talk about it without blushing either.

"But I'll tell you what, Johnny. Even if I had, what business of yours would it have been?"

A silence followed, and I stood in my living room, faced with Taehyung who heard everything I said loud and clear.

"I like you, Kiaraa, and I'm concerned, okay? Taehyung doesn't care about you. He's an idol. He can have anyone he wants. I've always been there for you, in your darkest moments I was there, not him."

"Okay? I'll stop you there. I'm so done with this, Johnny." I rolled my eyes. "Whether Taehyung cares about me is out of your control and mine." I had turned around to say this, to shy away from Taehyung's eyes. "Whether I hang out with him or not is not something you get to decide. I'm a grown woman. Now if you don't want me to get you fired from my team, then I suggest you stop with this bullshit." I hang up and threw my phone in frustration.
I don't know how but Taehyung jumped to catch it.

"These things are expensive." He gave me a tight smile before putting it on the table.

"I am so so sorry you had to hear that." I apologised, truly embarrassed.

If someone asked me what was the most embarrassing situation in my life, I wouldn't speak of the time I ended up in underwear at my 18th birthday party. No I'll definitely think of the present situation.

"It's okay."

"No, it's not." I snapped. "This is hands down the most embarrassing moment of my life." I muttered to myself.

"It's already forgotten. Hey, you want to come have a look at this, I thought I'd cut this clip from the show." He was seating at the computer. I stared at his back.

How could he be so okay with what he just heard? He didn't seem that embarrassed while I was dying of embarrassment. He's either mocking me or I don't know...

How could hearing me mention having sex with him not bother him?

Could he- no he wouldn't...could he have been the one to plant that idea in Johnny's mind? No, why would he bother? No no. That would mean- nope. He definitely didn't. Johnny must've just assumed I stayed because of Taehyung, which I kinda did. And he then went from assumption to assumption...

I kept looking at Taehyung's back, hesitating, feeling hella embarrassed and awkward.

"Hey, Kiaraa." Taehyung stood and walked to me.

I looked up at him, feeling myself cringing.

"You don't have to be embarrassed okay. Words are words, Johnny keeps pushing you. Don't feel so self conscious. Come on, we have a lot of work to do!" He took my hand and made me sit on the chair next to his and we got back to work.

I kept glancing at Taehyung, until I forgot why I was originally looking at him. Even earlier, when he just pulled me away from that guy, not wanting me to give him my number...when he said "you're gonna push your man away?" I know he was just kidding, but still.

I wondered if it was entirely a joke.

Kim Taehyung...This perfect man, with an incredible voice, incredible talent in dancing, good at everything, kind and considerate. This man would be somewhat interested in being anything more than my friend? Pfff, Kiaraa, wake up. This isn't a kdrama of some sort.

Johnny took a sick break. I was tempted to call him, but I knew it was for the best. Maybe he'd be able to get over himself while on leave.

As for myself, after two whole months, and with the help of Taehyung and my team, we finished editing "In The Soop." It was a very long process, especially since in between we still had to edit the Run BTS episodes and random videos like the Bangtan Bombs and such. Se-Jin kept me very busy.

September was beginning, and a few events were being planned, such as eventually a concert in October, interactions with different organisations...

And still, COVID had its grasp on the world. The boys were finding it harder and harder to be apart form ARMY, to be kept from performing in front of their fans. They missed their tours, the crazy experiences artist love.

So I tried to plan small evenings where they would chill out and relax, small parties where they could forget a little.

Taehyung often came by, with or without Jimin. It was really sweet how sometimes he showed me happily the kind messages ARMY wrote to him on weverse. He spent hours reading them.

And so time went by...
