chapter twenty-five

time to move on

shin minseo

we arrive at taehyung's house after we met up with moon at my apartment. i told her the plan and that i was going to be okay, but i just needed some time. taehyung lives in a tall brick house, with a beautiful flower garden in the front. he pulls his car into his garage, and motions for me to get out.

"welcome to my house, i hope you like it here." he says as he hops out of the car and walks to the door. "shoes off." he points to me feet. i laugh and slide them off.

"shouldn't you be sleeping, you have practice in like five hours." i say.

"we have the day off tomorrow." he replies as he leads me into the house. "are you hungry?"

"a little..." i admit. i plop down in one of the seats at his kitchen table.

"i have leftover pizza?"

"fine with me." i plop my head into my hand and he begins to heat up the pizza. my phone begins to vibrate in my pocket, so i decide to look at it while taehyung is busy.

jungkook ;)

min, we can't end it like that.

please tell me where you are...

i'll pick you up in the morning and we can talk.

i'm at taehyung's, and there is nothing

to talk about.

you know that's not true.

you sound a lot like jimin.

i know, but i'm not like him, you know that.

i don't know that that's true anymore.

it's just a misunderstanding.

you didn't even let me talk back there.

i didn't need another break up

like i had with jimin.

i'll be outside of taehyung's tomorrow at

11. you decide if you want to come out and talk

or not.

"who are you texting?" taehyung asks as he plops a plate a pizza in front of me.

"jungkook."

"what does he want?"

"to talk to me apparently." i slide my phone over and show him the texts.

"this is so bizarre to me." taehyung says as he reads the messages. "jungkook spent weeks telling me about how horrible jimin was to you. he said he couldn't even imagine why anyone would do anything like that to you." taehyung admits. his words hurt more than they should have. "i mean he really liked you. and he never said anything about wanting to break up with you... not even recently. i just don't get why he stopped talking to you. he tells me everything."

"jimin must be rubbing off on him." i say as i take my first bite. taehyung shakes his head.

"it's just not like him. but if you ask me, you were right to break up with him, and i really don't think you should talk to him. he had plenty of time to talk to you before it got out of hand, and he didn't. i know he knows better than that." he says as he slides my phone back to me. i nod. "what do you plan to do now?" he asks.
