Sweet Melody || Taennie [Completed]

CHAPTER THREE

JENNIE

"So you just have to sing whatever song you like, it isn't necessarily original." Ms. Danvers finished writing down on the board and threw herself on the swivel chair.

"Who's going to sing?" I asked Taehyung without looking at him.

He's giving me chills every time he's looking at him with squinted eyes. I always thought that he was mad at me or something.

I looked at him, and he was busy looking at the board where Ms. Danvers wrote all the things we need to do.

"Why are you so quiet?" I asked.

All the activities were simple and can be done in an hour, but in his reaction, it feels like it's so difficult to do.

"I don't sing," he said without glancing at me. He was looking at the board intently as his hands turned to fists. "This is the reason why I hate music schools."

"Saying something Mr. Kim?" Ms. Danvers' aura changed, making me gulped.

"Nothing Ms, he's just asking who hates music schools." I lied then nudged him.

Taehyung looked at me with his blank expression, giving me goosebumps again. I hate this guy so much. Why does he have to sit beside me and be my partner for our first activity? Did I do something wrong to deserve this? Goodness, gracious!

"If you don't know how then I'll do it." I grabbed my ballpoint pen and clicked it open then wrote something on my notebook.

The song that I badly want to play but didn't have a chance. Don't get me wrong, I want to sing and want to become a singer, but every time I open my mouth no voice coming out. My parents told me that maybe it was because of shyness within me. I'm afraid to sing in front of everybody, but today I have to do it.

"Who wants to go first?"

I raised my hand as my heart pounded. It is now or never, so I have to do it.

"Is that an original?" Ms. Danvers asked.

"No, and I chose this song for him because I felt like he needed to listen to this." I lied. This song was never connected to him, and have nothing to do with him.

"Okay, go ahead."

I positioned myself in front of the keyboard and put my notebook where the chords were written in front of me. I heaved a sigh before looking at him and smile.

"It's impossible to get you off my mind," I started the chorus with a soft voice.

I could feel the hot stares of my classmates but I'm just looking at Taehyung, who's also looking at me intently and confused.

"I think about a hundred thoughts and you are ninety-nine." I smiled at him and imagine he was the person I was referring to in the song.

"I've understood that you will never be mine." I looked at my fingers while pressing the keyboard gently. "And that's fine."

Once again, I looked at him. He was neither happy nor touched that I was singing a song for him. I guess he already knows that this wasn't for him, and I'm just using him to express my feelings.

"I'm just breaking inside..." I stopped then looked at Ms. Danvers, who has a teary eye now.

"That's a sweet voice, Jennie. And I guess Taehyung is so touched right now the reason why he couldn't speak." Ms. Danvers chuckled and we both looked at him.

Taehyung avoided our gazes and looked at the window. Some students rolled their eyes at me while some were giving admiration through their looks.

I noticed Taehyung's red cheeks and ears, making me chuckled a bit. The moment I sat down, I looked at him with a smirk on my face but he inched forward, causing my eyes to widen. Our faces were inches away and I could feel his hot breath already.

"I can be yours wherever and whenever you want," he whispered with a deep yet sweet and gentle voice.

My chest rose and fell with rapid breaths. I immediately looked away as I was chasing my breath but it was no use. Stupid heart, Taehyung will think that I'm into him!

I closed my eyes and was about to cry when he suddenly caressed my back with his soft and gentle hand. He wasn't looking at me, but his hand was still on my back.

"We'll continue tomorrow, be sure to perform your chosen song okay? Dismiss." Ms. Danvers left the room and the deafening murmurs filled the room. I guess this room was the beehive of the building.

"Let's eat lunch together?" Taehyung casually asked.

"I'm with Lisa, you should eat with your lads."

"I'll join you and Lisa." Taehyung gave me a cheeky smile before standing up and putting his bag on his back.

"Dimwit."

"And then? What happened next?" Lisa asked with excitement after I told her what happened a while ago.

"He asked me to eat with him, but I politely declined." I gave her a half-shrug. "What the?" I was startled when he suddenly punched me playfully in the shoulder.

"Wish I could do that to JK. You know what, class 2-B is worse than worst. They even made JK sat beside them, though I know deep inside he wanted to sit with me." She pouted and put her index fingers together.

I almost threw up at what she did.

"Why?" Lisa laughed hard.

"You should stop doing that or else I'll find a new friend." I threatened her and she immediately clings to my arms. "But seriously, if you like JK you shouldn't act like an easy-to-get girl."

"What does it feel when you're not allowed to like someone?" I was taken aback by Lisa's question.

In my case, my parents will prohibit me to like someone, especially at my age. They said that love hurts but every time I saw them together I want to experience the romance. The way they look and take care of each other, I'm envious. I want that too, and I want to feel it too.

"Is that a question from a hungry Lisa? Let's eat," I said then pulled her.
