SWEET AND SOUR || Kim Taehyung

34 - Glances

"Well, thanks for last night." I smiled as I stood at his front door, wearing the clothes I had slept in with my bag in my hands.

He unwillingly smiled back with his lips pressed to a thin line as if he genuinely couldn't give a fuck.

"Thanks for looking after Yeontan." He replied flatly, as much as the sarky Taehyung was extremely irritating, I kinda missed him at this moment, cause right now he was looking at me as if I were some stranger at his front door.

I lingered in the silence for a bit to see if he had something to say or confess, but the atmosphere was growing tense and the space between us was becoming awkward.

stepped back further, now outside of his house.

Yeontan barked up at me from Taehyung's ankles as if I wasn't allowed to leave.

"Bye Yeontan." I smiled down at him, in any other case I would have bent down to give him one last cuddle, or at least told him I would see him soon, but I wasn't convinced Taehyung wanted to see me again because of the way he was acting.

Did he just want me for sex? Surely not, maybe he was just upset about not being able to see his parents last night, yeah, that's probably it, I would be upset as well.

"Well, goodbye, I'll see you at school, maybe." I smiled awkwardly, waving a small hand as I slowly walked down the stairs of his porch.

He smiled unwillingly and slowly started to close the door.

If I wasn't slightly convinced that he was acting like this because of his parents, I would march straight back the stairs I had now reached the bottom of, and slapped the sense back into him, how the fuck does he think I feel, leaving his house like this after giving him everything last night.

I raked the thought from my mind and walked down his sodden drive, soaked after the storm.

I heard the door shut behind.

I turned back to the house in hope that he was standing outside, walking down the steps to pull another impulsive kiss scenario on me again, but it was shut, I was blocked out, it feels like all the progress we had made together, especially him, with opening up and being honest with his emotions, had been demolished.

I walked and walked, past the sulking trees, over the drenched autumn leaves, under the dull sky, down the puddle invaded street. Everything looked the way I felt.

Now what, will he acknowledge me at school tomorrow, will he attempt to make more of an effort, or am I going to be brushed under the carpet.

I grunted to myself, so stupid, I should never have lost my virginity to a guy who was known for moving on with women in a heartbeat, I don't know what Jimin was playing at, saying I could make him happy again, clearly this is the only lifestyle he's after.

What was I thinking..

Monday -

Rain again, I woke up to rain, and not the exciting kind, but the draining kind. I woke up late so my school uniform was half heartedly put together, and my hair was thrown into a bun. I walked to school with Abigail as our routes pass, I told her about everything, and she told me straight up, that after that, she has no belief in Taehyung anymore, it was starting to convince me to think the same. 

I had spotted him at lunch, sitting at a circle table with those of his friends who were still in school, Jungkook and Jimin, and a bunch of other people that tended to swarm him, he looked at me for a split second, so I smiled at him, but he averted his gaze like he had never seen me in the first place before turning to face his friends again.
