caught in despair (TAEPYO FAN FICTION)

Why do I feel like this?

Once the boys got to the place that they usually ate breakfast at Taeil was shocked but tried to not show it on his face. It was one of the best five star restaurants in the city. "Jaehyo's mother owns this place so she usually invites all of us to eat here in the morning" Jihoon explains in a smile.

Taeil nods a little as he followed the others inside. Taeil had never been inside a restaurant before, let alone in anywhere as fancy as this. He was starting to get worried, and once he got inside the restaurant there were already people eating breakfast.

"Is Jaehyo's mother's buisness so popular that people wake up this early to eat the food?" Taeil thought to himself looking from side to side.

As the six boys took their seats around one of the round tables, Taeil couldn't help but feel out of place.

As waiters brought the food to everyone, everyone started eating and talking while Taeil staid silent, not daring to touch any of the food on his plate.

Everything looked so fancy, and just by the way it looked Taeil had never had something so exquisite before "and they eat like this everyday?" Taeil thought to himself looking down at his plate.

Jiho then started talking about the rumor going around the school about him dating someone and everyone started to laugh except for Kyung who looked quite upset about the the rumor. "Why's Kyung upset... he has nothing to do with the rumor." Taeil thought to himself.

The more time that had passed Taeil couldn't take how akwardly out of place he was and decided to leave the boys with saying he had to go to the washroom. As Taeil left the table, Kyung looked at Jihoon and asks "why'd you invite him, you don't even know him."

"Yeah but...I don't know..." Jihoon says looking down with his face flushing into a light pink.

"Does someone have a crush?" Jiho says teasingly, laughing at Jihoon who was practically as red as a tomato.

"S-Shut up" Jihoon says in a stutter, looking down with a huge smile on his face. He then continued to say "he's different...I can't help but not notice him now. Why didn't I notice him before?" Jihoon asks himself out loud.

"Well none of us knew who he was until today so don't feel bad" Yukwon says smiling at Jihoon.

"He's really quiet though" Jiho points out cutting a waffle on his plate.

"And very shy on top of that" Kyung adds.

Jihoon smiles as he says "I guess he needs to get used to me."

"Yeah but he gives me this weird feeling..." Minhyuk says looking down.

"Weird feeling?" Jihoon repeats, looking at Minhyuk confused.

"Yeah, I've never noticed him before so it didn't bother me, but once you recognize his existence you can't help but feel a depressed aura coming from him...it might be better not to get involved with him..." Minhyuk says, saying the last part in a mumble, under his breath.

"He sure is taking a long time in the washroom" Jaehyo says looking at the direction of where the washroom was but right when he said that Taeil came back, walking to the table. It seemed like he had a bigger frown on his face than earlier, if that was even possible.

Taeil stayed quiet once he got to the table. He then pulled out his phone to check the time and it was eight twenty, and school starts at eight fourty.

Taeil stood up as he quietly said "thank you for inviting me...I think I should take my leave now" he says in a bow, then leaving the table.

Everyone looked confused and as Jihoon checked his phone his eyes opened wider as he said "we're going to be late if we don't finish up here, it's eight twenty!"

Everyone was shocked at what time it was as they jolted up out of their seats, left the money on the table and ran out of the restaurant.

The six friends were running to school and as they were running they pass by Taeil who was walking. Jihoon then yells "TAEIL, IF YOU DON'T RUN YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!"

Taeil looked up as soon as he heard Jihoon yelling at him to run. He then looked back down as he continued walking to school.

"Just leave him Jihoon, we'll be there in three minutes if we keep running!" Jiho says, not looking back.

Jihoon closed his eyes tightly as he took a deep breath out and turned around. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Kyung yelled looking back at Jihoon.

Jihoon ran back to Taeil and said "come on, we're going to be late if you don't run!"

"I don't mind being late" Taeil says, still walking.

Jihoon grunted as he picked up Taeil bridal style and started running again. "W-What're you doing?!" Taeil says flustered as he covers his face to hide his blush.

"I'm doing this so we're not late!" Jihoon says panting.

In two minutes tops Jihoon and Taeil got to school and as soon as they got to the school gate Jihoon let Taeil down and says in a huff "y-you should go inside" and as he says that, he goes onto his hands and knees trying to catch his breath.

Taeil looked down at Jihoon guilty and said to him in a stutter putting his hand out "h-here, get up."

As Jihoon looked up, he saw Taeil giving out his hand to help him up. He was also looking to a side blushing. Jihoon couldn't help but have a light pink appear on his cheeks as he took Taeil's hand and got up.

As Taeil let go and was about to turn around Jihoon wouldn't let go of Taeil's hand. "C-Could you let go?" Taeil asks looking down, trying not to make eye contact.

"Just let me hold your hand for a bit longer" Jihoon says still faintly panting.

"B-But someone might see..." Taeil says looking down, trying to pull his hand away, but Jihoon had a ferm hold on it.

Jihoon who was now a dark red asks " no one will see, everyone is inside the school already, please?"

"Fine...only a bit longer" Taeil says looking down blushing. "W-Why's my heart beating so fast?" Taeil thought to himself, now pulling his hand away successfully. "O-Okay, well...I'll see you in class."

Jihoon smiled as he waved to Taeil and Taeil walked into the school first as he caught his breath and grabbed his chest as he asked himself "w-why do I feel like this?!"
