Falling For You

17 | loneliness

Two days had passed since the party, and he and Jungkook still had not spoken. After they made out in the closet for 7 minutes in heaven, they walked back to the group, and it felt awkward for the two.

They have been best friends for what feels like forever, so they were not sure what to say to each other.

They both avoided each other during the rest of the party. Ryan dropped Taehyung home, worried about why the male seemed off. He kept asking if he was okay and only got short, soft, quiet answers in reply.

Taehyung had spent the weekend sitting on his bed wondering how he was going to face Monday, how is he going to face Jungkook.

That was the only thought he had the whole weekend, even while working.

Would he push me away

Is that our friendship over

Does he hate me

Was I a bad kisser

The thoughts never stopped, especially when standing in front of that college building he was so used to.

Watching as everyone walked towards it. "Aye! Taehyung" He heard Jake so from behind him.

"Hey! I saw pictures last night of the party; I saw you went," Jake said, arm wrapped around the male's shoulders.

"Y-yeah", Taehyung gulped, words trembling on his tongue as he tried to get a grip of himself. "Yeah, it was fun. Were you there?" He asked, cupping the side of his neck.

"I was not, and you had to get an invite to go", Jake gritted his teeth.

"If I knew you wanted to go, I would have brought you as my plus one."

"Maybe next time then."

"Yeah" He hoped Jake would not talk about the party. It was the last thing he wanted to talk about. His hands reached his pockets as he stepped into the corridor.

"Did you hear that Benjamin and Eun are dating!" Jake said, grabbing out his phone and clicking a few buttons.

"I had a feeling they were", Taehyung muttered. He was not surprised, the day he saw them together, he already had a feeling that they were either into each other or dating.

Benjamin always had to have the hot girls and could never be single, and Eun was the same.

His eyes turned to the screen in front of his face to see a picture of Benjamin and Eun together kissing. The caption...

You are the best boyfriend anyone could ask for

Taehyung snickered.

"Do you care?" Jake questioned as they entered the classroom filled with students.

"No"

"Wow, you moved on quickly", Jake hummed, walking to his seat.

Taehyung's lips were parted in shock at that comment. If anything, he was furious. Why is everything always his fault? Why are Eun and Benjamin seen as these amazing icons when they treat people like crap.

He never understood popularity. It is always the bullies who are popular and put other people down. The ones who make you feel ugly, alone, and stupid.

Why can't influential people be famous, people that make a difference in people's lives?

"Okay, no more wasting time! Grab your books out," The teacher yelled out as she power-walked into the classroom, causing a few students to laugh.

Taehyung side-eyed Jungkook's seat to see it empty.

Am I really that horrible

Lunch came quicker than Taehyung expected. When the bell had rung, he stood up from his seat. He walked over to Jake and Choi, who was about to walk out the door.

"Hey, where are you guys headed, Am I allowed to tag along?" The brunette questioned.

"We are going to go hang with Benjamin and his friends, sorry", Jake replied, shrugging as they walked off, leaving Taehyung in the corridor with a heavy heart.

His eyes glided along the hallway to see a few girls he had a conversation with during one of his classes and walked up to them.

"Hey, Rai, is there any way I could hang out with you guys?" Taehyung questioned, smiling, but was soon replaced with a frown when Rai chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"No thanks," She said, walking off with her friend.

Taehyung stood there, heart heavier as he dragged his feet towards the library, deciding to hang out by himself today.

That happened for the next couple of days. He asked people if he could hang out with them, but everyone avoided him like the plague. Jungkook finally showed up at school after days of not being there.

Whenever their eyes met, Taehyung would always tilt his head down.

As much as the brunette wanted to spend time with Jungkook, talk to him, and hug him. He knew he could not. No one wants to be with him anymore. Now he feels like he is left alone.
