chapter 26

Taehyung's POV

I stand still on my spot fighting the urge on me to grab her and hold her back, with a clench jaw and teary eyes I watched her fading figure from the people around the park.

I look up the sky so my tears won't fall, I have no rights to cry doesn't I?

"Fuck this life..." I only cussed as a chuckle left my lips, I look like a crazy here standing alone with a clenching heart.

I snapped out when a hand grabbed me by my shoulder turning me to face who ever it is but a hard punch was landed on my face before I could see the person is, causing me to stumble and land on the ground.

"Sunghoon!" A voice retain, holding my moved jaw I look up to see a group of students and a boy with a displeased expression.

"You crazy grumpy old man, are you really gonna stay on the ground and wouldn't do anything to get your girl back!?" The man who named Sunghoon ask in annoyed tone.

I tried to open my mouth to speak up but nothing came out, he stretched his hand to help me up that I hesitantly take. But when I got up another punch was landed on my face.

"Hyunjin!" A voice from one of the girls was heard.

"You! Aishh that punch is for making our Noona cry" The Hyunjin guy retorted as he pulled me up again.

I shook my head trying to recover from the punches I received, I then look at the kids infront of me, glared should I say, like who in the earth is this people to punch me out of sudden!?

"I..who—?"

"Ga! Ppali-yah! Don't just stand here and act stupid follow your heart!" The Sunghoon guy cutted me off as he push me a little, I stare at them in awe.

"And who in the hell are you to command me?!" I annoyingly ask them, the two guy glared but Hyunjin just move his fist up so I quickly crossed my arms up my head as a defense but I felt nothing, I slowly peek up to see them staring at me.

"Doesn't matter, I'm Hwang Hyunjin" the guy with a cat-eye spoke.

"Park Sunghoon"

"Shin Ryujin"

"Hwang Yeji"

I nod my head, massaging my jaw as I stare at them raising an eyebrow.

"Oh man" Hyunjin annoyingly rubbed his the bridge of his nose "We clearly saw what happened earlier, and by just standing here and doing nothing, you look like you clearly proved to her that you are not a man of your words." He spoke.

"What?!" Sunghoon butted in when he saw me staring alternately to him and Hyunjin. "Go chased your girl Hyung! Hurry up before it's too late!" He said, staring at the direction where Jisoo take.

"But it will be no use..." I mumbled, the girls brow furrowed when I sat down on one of the bleachers.

"Oppa?" Ryujin ask, creasing her forehead.

"Aishh jinja? Hyung don't say that" Sunghoon patted my back, "Girls are just waiting for the boys to make a move, men should do something or else it will be really no use. Women are best at hiding their true feelings they will act fine and happy to hide the pain, and they're always holding onto something just to stay....as long as they doesn't give up, be yourself and proved everything" he encourage

"Because once that we gave up, you'll get nothing and everything will be back from the very start...like being strangers again" Yeji spoke up causing my head to automatically lift up and face them. "You want that?" She hesitantly ask, quirking an eyebrow.

"No." I said and stand up, they smiled at me.

"Hurry up Hyung!" They nudge as I gave them a genuine small smile as I move my feet fast taking the direction where Jisoo had taken a couple of minutes ago.

Midway I stopped and look back at them the smile on my face again formed as tears brimmed.

I then shouted "Thank you for the punches, I needed that!" I yelled as I saw them giggled and wave their hands gesturing me to go which I quickly did.

Never in my life I thought that I would to this like how stupid am I to push the girl that I love away from me because they want me too. Bullfuckingshit!

I ran fast as I can as I pantingly reach our home which just a meters away from the amusement park, I gasped for air as I reached the gate, holding onto something I look up to see the lights on.

Wasting no time I quickly pushed the gate and enter the the yard, just when I was about to reach the front door, my hand stopped in the air midway from the doorknob when the door opened.

A shock expression greeted me as Jisoo's teary eyes met mine. I regretfully smile wanting to reach her hand but I hold myself to not for a while.

"Soo..." I called her, but she looks away as I heard something moved behind her. My eyes trailed down to her hand which gripping on a luggage. "What..—" I stopped and look at her in horror realizing what's the luggage mean.

"Jisoo?" I called her again when she move and about to walk pass me but she continues. "Soo.."I grabbed her wrist, I saw her shoulders went up and down as she heave a deep breath before facing me with bloodshot eyes.

"Let go." I felt weak hearing how flat and firm her voice was while her eyes filled with tears and sadness.

I block myself on her way and not let go her hand, shaking my head. "Love look, I'm sorry..." I started looking into her eyes but she close it as tears fall "The- the words I've said earlier, Soo...I didn't mean i-it, I-I....can't lose you Love , I can't live w-without you" I shakily desperately said, eyes are blurry through tears.

"Please look at me? Love?" I pleaded after she take a breathe and move her face to the side letting her tears fall, she then look at me meeting my eyes.

"I am too frustrated, I don't know where to lean to...I said those words without thinking twice Love, I didn't mean any of those words I was so—"

"Enough" she finally spoke making me stop my eyes soften by how vulnerable she looks like. She shake her head. "Maybe you were right...." She started, trying not to broke down, she smiled weakly "The relationship between us cause nothing but to hurt us, we keep hurting each other's Tae, you keep hurting me in any possible way, I just—" she look at me "I just had enough"

"No..no, no" I pleaded "I didn't mean to...I didn't mean to hurt y-you" I shakily said trying to hold her other hand but she avoid my touch trying to get a rid out of my grip.

But she shook her head "I'm always choosing you no matter what the situation is, I sacrifice some of very important things in my life for you, but you can't do the same for me...you even forgot our anniversary" she weakly said, her tears are falling. "Please Tae..." She pleaded.

"Can I be selfish for now?" She furrowed her eyebrows, staring at me through her blurry eyes "Just let me choose myself this time" she ended, after hearing those words my grip on her wrist slowly loosen until her hand Is free.

She stare at me longingly while my tears just also fall as hers, she smiled at me shakily her hand went up to held the side of my face, she then tiptoed as I close my eyes when I felt her lips on my forehead.

"I love you" she lastly said as her hand let go my face "please let me go" she muttered and turned her back on me, leaving me behind.

My lips parted as I painfully sobbed watching her leaving figure tears are continuesly falling as my heart clenched in pain.

"It's too late" I whispered to myself, crying watching her walking away from me.
