Skool Luv Affair

Chapter 45

The party is still in full swing. The first person I go to is of course Ryujin.

"Wow. I can't believe I get to see such beauty; I'm honored.", she says being overdramatic as usual.

"Thank you, my drama queen.", I say hugging her.

"I'm glad you made it. But I'm also offended that you said yes to him and not me.", she says pouting.

"I'm glad she said no to you otherwise you would've ditched me in a heartbeat.", says Yoongi hyung. We four laugh together before Jungkooka and Jimina ram into me like two trains.

"Seon Ra-ssi!!! We missed you!!!", they both say in unison.

"She'll choke at this rate!", says Jin hyung laughing as Namjoon hyung joins us too.

"I'll gladly lend my polaroid camera to Taehyung tonight. We have to capture such beauty.", says Hoseok hyung.

"Hyung, you're making me blush!", I say.

"Yah hyung! You're making me feel jealous!", says Taehyunga pouting.

Such a jealous baby.

"The family finally feels complete.", says Jungkooka smiling at me. I smile back at my little brother.

Me and Taehyung excuse ourselves as we go over to get some drinks.

"Look who decided to show up. Bitch.", sneers one of the girls.

"I thought the party seemed too bland without me, I came to add the glam factor... bitch.", I say with an icy smile.

"I love it when you're this badass. I have a strong feeling you'll be amazing in bed.", says Taehyung gaping at me with his mouth wide open.

"Wouldn't you like to know?", I say winking at him.

"Femme fatale.", he mutters.

I love making him so flustered especially because nothing fazes him. It's an amazing feeling.

"Taehyung why did you bring such trash to our prom? Why do you need her after kissing me?", says one of the girls.

This bitch. She's making my blood boil.

"WHO DID YOU CALL – ", I begin to say but my lips are sealed shut with a kiss.

The surroundings become a blur as the kiss turns passionate as fuck. I break away first because I'm still angry.

"Why did you cut me off!? I was going to bite her head off!", I say.

"Let's not waste any of the precious time we have on them. They can talk whatever shit they want to; you are and always will be my one true love.", says Taehyung looking me in the eye with a burning glare.

Precious time... he's right.

"May I have this dance?", he asks being ever so charming.

"Do we really have to dance?", I ask nervously. I'm so bad at dancing... the worst. I can't even find comfort in the fact that he's just as bad... because he's brilliant. Honestly, this guy lacks nothing. How did I get this lucky?

"Unless you'd rather we go home and get you out of that dress slowly.", he whispers leaning in close to my ears.

"Let's go and dance.", I say while coughing as I take his hand.

"I really wished you had chosen the latter but the night is young.", he says winking.

I hope the medics are right around the corner because I might have a heart attack real soon.

As soon as we take the center of the stage (against my wishes!), everyone suddenly becomes quiet. Or maybe it is because I can't focus on anything except him and the way he's looking at me. I wonder... I really wonder... if a guy would ever look at me like that in the future, if a guy would ever love me as much as he did. I don't think so. I'm so doomed. Why did you make me meet him universe if we were only meant to be together for such a short while? Just why? Why did you have to hurt us like this?

I'm so lost in my thoughts of the future that I didn't even realize when we began dancing. Usually, I'd think about his hand on my waist and how close we were standing that we were breathing the same air... but for some reason, I can't even focus on that right now. He'd always be the happiest and the most painful chapter in my life... I won't ever forget him but I really hope he forgets me; he can definitely find someone better than me.

"Don't think about it. Let's pretend you're not going away for a really long time tomorrow early morning.", he says and his voice is thick with emotions.

There are so many things going through my mind that I don't even notice it's our favorite song playing.

Give You My Heart by IU.

"I forgot to ask... which college are you going to then?", I ask trying to distract ourselves from our impending doom. I know I'm dramatic but that's just how it feels like.

"Hanyang University. We'll major in Entertainment and Broadcasting.", he says as he spins me around.

"That's amazing.", I say with a small smile.

"When is your flight tomorrow?", he asks pretending to say it nonchalantly.

"7 AM. The first flight. It's quite far from here, you know?", I say laughing it off.

"I'll be there at the airport, wait for me. If we make it big... when we make it big... I'll ensure that we have a concert in US. Don't change your phone number, I'll be sending you the concert details on the same. Got it?", he says on the brink of tearing up.

I have no words to console him, so I just kiss him in the hopes that he forgets all about the pain... even if it is for a few seconds.

For the first time, he breaks away first and I see his tears rapidly falling.

I kiss them all till they stop.

"Can I ask for a promise?", I say trying not to cry because seeing him cry twice in the day is not something I can handle... it's breaking me. But I have to be strong for him, I have to.

He just nods in response.

"Promise me that you won't cry often when I leave... promise me?", I say smiling at him the best I can. I know it's cruel of me to ask him to not cry, to control his emotions... I'm doing it for my mental peace, at least I'll know he won't be crying. I know his hyung's shoulders will always be there for him, but what about when he's alone? I can't risk it. He should never cry alone, never.

He nods in response again.

Kim Taehyung

I know I won't be able to keep my promise to her... but at least she'll be at peace knowing I'm not crying. I literally might never see the love of my life ever again, how can she not expect me to cry? People say young love is stupid, that it'll all get better with time... but all these people were fucking liars. I don't think a sorrow this deep can be cured even with time.

She keeps trying to comfort me and it's pissing me off. She's the one who has to leave everyone she loves and go away to a foreign place and here I am crying like a baby. I should be the one comforting her. Why am I such a fucking mess?

I grab her hand and leave the dancing floor as I take her to a secluded spot. I had totally forgotten about what I had prepared for her today. We shall have our last dance here.
