Serendipity🥀 [ON HOLD]

Chapter 24

"There's just something about you I'm
scared to lose, because i know i won't
find it in anyone else"

I was sad. I was hurt. I was angry. I was frustrated. At whom? I don't know. At myself for always being around Taehyung and overstaying my welcome? For assuming he liked my company? At Taehyung for saying those words? For taking out his anger at me? Maybe at all of the reasons.

I have been avoiding him for the past two days which was proving to be a difficult task when he would constantly try to talk to me. I am not completely ignoring him but give him clipped and to the point answers and only talk if needed. I started sitting between Namjoon and Ara for lunch. It did not help that Soo-Hyun was literally in my every class. I even had to sit a row ahead of my regular seat in Mrs Hong's class because she wanted to sit next to Taehyung and refused to get up. I was stuck listening to their sickening conversations.

Soo-Hyun was the happiest person in the group with the rift between me and Taehyung and she took up every opportunity to express it. Her side jabs and snarky comments towards me had also increased though in front of Taehyung she would play the victim. I try my best to not get affected by her words but sometimes what she says does hurt me.

I was walking to the cafeteria when someone pulled me into an empty classroom by my wrist. My back hit the wall but before I could scream a warm hand covered my mouth.

"Princess," His deep voice rang through the empty classroom. I stopped struggling against him. He switched on the lights of the classroom and so I could clearly see him.

"What do you want Taehyung?" I ask looking everywhere but him.

"Why are you avoiding me, princess?" He comes closer to me. I was still backed into the wall.

"I'm not," I glance at him before averting my eyes.

"Yes, you are. You are doing it right now too," He presses.

"I'm just doing what you told me to do," I shrug at him. "Giving you space."

"When did I say anything like that?" His voice laced with confusion.

I let out a scoff before looking into his eyes. "At the mall remember?" I mock.

In an instant guilt and regret flashes through his eyes.

"I'm sorry princess," he apologises taking a step closer to me, "I'm sorry I didn't mean that. I did not mean that. I was angry before you came and then Soo-Hyun was continuously leaning on me and when you first talked to me I took it out all on you. I'm seriously sorry princess. Please forgive me." He was standing close to me but not touching me.

"I am not your punching bag Taehyung," I bite back harshly, "you're angry and want to vent it out, you can vent it out TO me and not AT me. Do you understand that? Because what you said that night did hurt me." I emphasise.

"Yes I understand princess," he looked like a child being scolded for his behaviour, "I won't do it again princess, I promise. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"What about giving you space?" I ask crossing my arms across my chest.

"To hell to giving space. I don't want space from you. I want you to be by my side. I want you to talk my ear off while telling me about the books you read. I want to bicker and tease you. I always want you close to me," He says pulling me closer by hooking a finger through the loops of my jeans.

"So you want me to annoy you?" I ask with a slight smirk.

"Annoy me, hit me do whatever you want to me but just don't stop talking to me," He pouts at me. God who can say no to that pout? "So do you forgive me?"
