Sweet Melody || Taennie [Completed]

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

JENNIE

"Jennie?" I turned my back when I heard a familiar voice, it was Chan. A friend of mine when I was in middle school.

Chaeyoung is Chan's sister, my only friend, and the only one who knew a lot about me. She's a happy-go-lucky girl and she also has this sweet and angelic voice. She's the reason why I like sweet melodies, but she disappeared one day and some said that she was raped by three guys and her boyfriend just watched her that day.

The thought of Chaeyoung's death brought sadness all over my body. I looked on the floor, but Chan lifted my chin and handed me the unicorn I wanted to get. I forgot that Chan is a pro-machine-clawer, that's what we called him when we were in middle school.

"You're alone?" he asked and I shook my head.

I looked around to look for Taehyung and when I spotted him, I immediately waved the unicorn Chan's gave me. Chan also looked at him and scoffed.

"Why?" I asked.

"That's Chaeyoung's ex-boyfriend, you didn't know?" Chan said and turned to Taehyung when he got near us.

My body trembled and my knees weakened.

Why didn't you tell me Taehyung? Why didn't you tell me that it was Chaeyoung? I couldn't believe myself right now. I'm enjoying the company of the people I loathed the most.

After that day, I never talked to Taehyung again. I asked my classmate to exchange seats with me and I never went to their practice room. I also told RM that I'm quitting and he understood right away. He asked me not to tell everyone so they wouldn't get disqualified and I kept my promise.

Today is the big event for everyone, the battle of the bands. Some were preparing for their turn and some were crying because they made a mistake. These past few days, I wasn't mentally stable. I kept seeing in my mind how Taehyung watched my best friend being raped by those three guys, it's a nightmare.

Douce Melodie will perform last since they were last year's champion, and some said that they will still be today's champion. According to some who watched them practice, they were so incredible and Jin's voice was so angelic. I wanted to watch but I couldn't look at Taehyung.

I'm angry, no‒ I'm enraged.

I kept it all to myself. I never told anyone what I found out that day, and just cried in my room all night. I don't know what I feel. I'm disgusted with myself that I enjoyed his company and fantasized about him once.

"Aren't you going to watch us later?" RM asked when he saw me putting all my things in my bag. "You're so red, are you okay?" He touched my forehead and I just nodded.

I feel hot today, hot as in suffocated. I couldn't breathe properly since morning and I didn't want to tell RM because it'll ruin their performance today. I'll just call my father to take me home right now.

"I'm not feeling well, but I'll be fine. I texted Dad." I smiled at him and put my bag on my shoulder.

My visions were getting blurry as I tread towards the gate of the school. I think I'll sit down first at the nearest bench and wait for my father to come over. My lungs were out of the air and I could barely speak for help. I tried to let out a long breath but it was no use, no air and it's suffocating me. My heart was pounding rapidly and my head's getting dizzy.

When I arrived at the nearest bench, I immediately sat down and patted my chest multiple times. I don't know what time Daddy will come, but I hope it's sooner than I expected. I'm running out of air, and I badly need it.

"Jennie, what happened?" My vision was already blurred and I couldn't tell who's asking me. I just gave him a thumbs up then everything went black.

"What happened doc? Is my daughter okay?" I heard my dad's voice, causing me to open my heavy eyes. I saw my mom and dad talking to the doctor and RM was sitting next to me while holding my hands.

"Let's go to my office first," the doctor said and my parents followed him.

They don't want me to hear anything about my condition. I asked them before once, but they said it would only worsen my condition if I found out. It's better not to know anything and just follow what they say, so I did.

"You should've told me that you couldn't breathe!" My brother yelled as the tears fell from his eyes. He was shaking now and he's still holding my hand tightly.

"Did you win?" I asked with a smile, but he just cried even more. "Hey, I'm asking you."

"Yes, though Taehyung didn't perform."

"Why?"

"He rushed you here, and then called us when your heartbeat came back." RM heaved a sigh then looked at me with worried eyes. "Please, tell me everything, Jennie. I'm your brother, I should be the one saving you not the other way around."

I nodded at him and smiled. I caressed his cheeks and wiped the precious tears in his eyes but they kept on falling.

"I'm in-debt with Taehyung you know? The doctor said if he was a minute late, you'd probably be dead."

"Where is he?" I asked and sat down, but my brother stopped me.

"He went home, it's already 2 a.m. Jennie."

"Did he found out?"

"No, fortunately not."
