My Beloved Rival [Kim Taehyung FF]

Chapter 15- Prom

[Time skip: two days later; Gangnam]

"Y/n, for the nth time! Where are you dragging me?! And why are we in Gangnam! And why the hell am I not trying to run away from you?!" Taehyung kept blabbering nonsense while I dragged him down the busy streets of Gangnam

"First of all, shut up! Secondly, shut the fuck up! Third, don't question my decision and just follow me!" I yelled back at him

"Follow you? You've been dragging me since morning! We could've taken a bus!" He said

"What was the second rule that I said?"

"To shut the fuck up?"

"Exactly! Shut the fuck up and just come with me!"

'... I left them because I wanted to fulfill my dreams. I want to meet him again and ask, "son, sorry for not helping you get up back then. Do you hate me?"'

'I want to meet her again and ask that did she hate me that much that made her leave me and dad?'

With these words echoing through my mind, I smiled to myself as I dragged Taehyung along with me towards the shop. Even though I know that at first Taehyung won't be happy to meet her, he may yell at me, or curse at me but a part of him will be happy to see her and would want to embrace her so she never leaves him again. We stopped in front of the shop he looked at me confused

"You got to be kidding me! You dragged me all the way to Gangnam to what? Buy flowers-" I cut him off by saying,

"What was the first rule that I said?"

"To shut up?"

"Right! Shut up and follow me" I said as I entered the shop while he followed me inside the shop. The shop was quiet but the silence wasn't suffocating, it was a peaceful silence. I spotted Mrs. Kim in one corner, too busy making a bouquet to notice us

"Mrs. Kim" I called out gaining her attention

"Oh, Y/n? What brings you here this early and who is this with you-" She stopped in her sentence the moment she noticed. No matter how much we grow, it's impossible for our mother to not recognize us. Taehyung froze in his place, his hands clenching tight. He was about to put his hands inside his pocket but I stopped him.

"Taehyung... no... not today... don't run away from your problems, face it" I said but he looked away not wanting to show the tears streaming down his cheeks but I cupped his cheeks making him look at me

"Taehyung look at me... it's always our mothers who sacrifice their happiness for us. Then if once she decided to do something which made her happy, shouldn't we be proud of her? Your mother knew that if she stayed by your and your dad's side, she would've never become the florist she wanted to be. I know you are angry at her for leaving you but think about it once, when you would've known about this in your future wouldn't you hate yourself more because your mother had let go of her dream because of you?" I said as he nodded slightly making me smile a bit

"Go" I whispered as we turned around to face his mother who had covered her mouth with tears rolling down her cheeks. 

"Taehyung-g..." she breathed out. Without wasting any time, he ran toward her and engulfed her in a hug. He wrapped his arm around her in a protective manner not wanting to let go of her. 

"Mom-m... did-d you hate me back then-n?" He asked

"No-o... I never-r hated you... I'm sorry-y for being selfish-h... I'm sorry" 

'Thank you, Y/n for helping me meet my mother once again... I love you"

[Time skip: One week later; Prom night]

Walking inside the hall, Ji-ah and I were reunited with Jimin and Jungkook. Those two were dressed in black suits and of course, every girl wanted to dance with them. Ji-ah had a long black gown with glitters on it. As for me, I had a white bodycon dress which reached till my knees with lacy decorations on it. The four of us sat at our assigned table and Yoongi came to us. The four of us looked at him wondering what did he want. He was dressed in a white suit. 

"Are you here to ask Jimin for dance?" Jungkook asked

"Don't worry, we won't question. It's pride month after all" I added while trying to control my laugh

"Shut up!" both of them said in union

"Um... Ji-ah... would you care-e for a dance?" He said and looked away. It took us a minute before he turned towards Ji-ah with wide eyes and she had the same expression on her face which soon changed into a smiling one.

"It's okay-y if you don't-t- " He was cut off by Ji-ah getting off her seat and walking toward him

"I would love to have a dance with you," She said which made him smile 

"Black and white slay!" The three of us yelled as we watched the two of them dance. Hoseok came to us and said,

"Can I join you guys?" We nodded at his statement as he took a seat next to me

"But... where is Taehyung?" I asked

"Taehyung? There he is" Hoseok said pointing at the stage as I saw Taehyung getting on the stage, dressed in a blue suit with his hair neatly styled. Just then the lights of the entire hall went off except for the one above Taehyung which drew everyone's attention. Connecting the mic to the speaker, he said,

"Did you all ever feel happy about losing something? Most of you would feel sad or heartbroken if you lose something be it a competition or anything but as for me, I was happy when I lost because I had already won something else. I've never been attached to someone so much but she was an exception. She was the first one whom I reached out to and hugged without any hesitation. She was the only one who saw me at my worst stage but I wasn't afraid because I knew that she wouldn't judge. She was different from others and it made my heart flutter every time she called my name. Many people called my name but I wanted to hear my name being called by her" There was nothing but silence as everyone was so engrossed in what he was saying. With a smile, he looked at me before saying,

"Y/n... I lost your challenge... I fell in love with you" There was a moment of silence before everyone started cheering as the light now focused on me

"In that case, I have another challenge for you," I said

"Y/n! For god's sake-" I cut off Jungkook by saying,

"Go out with me and kiss me to prove whatever you said," I said as people had their mouths hung open by now

"I knew she was bold... but not this much" Jimin whispered making Jungkook and Hoseok nod

Taehyung came down the stage and I walked towards him. Tip toeing, I wrapped my arms around his neck gently pressing my lips on his while his hands went behind my waist to support me as he kissed me back. The lights were back on and all we could hear were the cheering of everyone.

"I love you so much" He whispered 

"No, I can challenge you on this that I love you more" I replied as we both giggled

"Fine, I'll let you win this challenge because I love you... Ms. second place"
