Chapter 19

*A few weeks later*

As time went by slowly, I think we started to get closer. I think that...I actually liked him. Really liked him. He was everything...any girl could want...

He was caring and protective. He also showed his affection to me. And usually only me. He would act differently with me than with anyone else, and I could see that. Even though he acted cold to everyone else, I could see he had a really warm heart inside no matter how he showed it.

I had started to like him. To really like him. Not just in a crush sort of way...but more than that. I started liking Jeon Jungkook. But how was I going to tell him?

Our school let us out earlier than usually today because they have a teachers meeting going on.

Hyeri suggested that we go to TaeDo. I wasn't quite sure about it, but Hyeri pulled me along. TaeDo wasn't even out of school yet...

So where was I right now?

I'm sitting outside of TaeDo's gates. Hyeri was nowhere to be seen. She told me she needed to go to the bathroom, so she jumped the gate to find one inside school. She even had a skirt on...

...

But that was my best friend. She was always like this...and that was part of the reason why I liked her so much.

...

I watched people walk by just waiting for the time to pass. Would Jungkook want to see me here? Would he get mad? I wasn't sure. Maybe I should head back...? Maybe I would just wait until he called—

"EOM HYERI!!"

...?

Who called my best friend?

I looked between the gates to see Taehyung holding onto Hyeri's wrist. He looked pissed. Actually, both of them looked pissed. I wonder what happened...?

"Let go of me!" she yelled back, trying to pull away from Taehyung.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" he yelled back, letting go of her.

"I just wanted to go to the bathroom!" she yelled. "I didn't know that was going to happen!"

"I really can't believe you! How can you make excuses for that?!" Taehyung yelled. "Practically everyone saw you! How can you act like that?!"

"SCHOOL ISN'T EVEN OUT YET!"

I quickly stepped inside the gate and then walked over to them. They didn't seem to notice me so I coughed.

"Taehyung Oppa...what's wrong?" I asked.

He turned around and faced the other way. Hyeri turned the other way so both of them weren't facing each other.

"Hyeri ya...what happened?" I asked, walking up to her.

"He's not even listening to me!" she yelled. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. Hyeri ya...you never cried for a guy before...why are you crying now?

"What happened?" I asked again.

"I just went to the bathroom and then when I came out, I tripped over something and fell on top of this guy! Then HE comes and starts trying to beat that kid up! He didn't even listen to me!" Hyeri yelled.

I noticed how Taehyung stiffened.

"Taehyung Oppa...what happened...?" I asked, going to him.

"DON'T EVEN TALK TO HIM JIEUN! YOU CAN'T TALK TO THOSE KINDS OF PEOPLE! THEY ARE ONLY CONCEITED BASTARDS WHO DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT LISTENING!" Hyeri yelled.
