12 years old.

"Just go!!" The voice could be heard from inside the classroom. It was recess and a crowd of boys at gathered around my class to push jungkook to ask me out.

I could see them standing from the glass windows in the classroom. The students inside the classroom were giggling while I was reading my book. Or half reading, if you say.

The door opened, so did they finally cover the distance between the open space near the glass windows and then door.

I didn't look up just anticipated, suddenly a box was slammed thrown on the table I looked up to see it was Taehyung.

My eyes immediately rolled.

"What!?" I yelled in a low tone at the guy who approached me.

"You forgot your lunchbox, your mom sent me to give it to you in school" he said and put his hands back in his pocket.

Oh, yeah. Lunch. I forgot about food amidst the chaos.

"What chaos is going on in 8th grade?" He asks me and I just looked at him. "A 10th grader doesn't need to know" I commented with a smile.

He was 3 years older than me but since I started school a year early we were only 2 classes apart.

"Why are you not leaving? " I ask him and he sighed.

"I carried that heavy lunchbox of yours, do you not think so I deserve a part of it?" He said and leaned forward.

Too close actually.

"You know what just take it and leave. Leave" I said and pushed the box on his chest. "No way, you can't even eat the cafeteria good because of your recent food poisoning. I can't let you die, it wouldn't be fair. To be ugly and die an ugly death too" he said and I was about to smack him when the door opened.

"Hey, Y/n!" Jungkook stood there.

He looked at Taehyung before he ignored him and walked towards me. I stood up and mived just infront of him. The crowd pushed Taehyung to the side but he was still visible with that height of his.

"Ahem, so Miss cho y/n do you take me as your beloved boyfriend forever and ever" he said I giggled my eyes fell on Taehyung who had the most disgruntled look on his face.

"Eww" he mouthed looking at me. I just looked away to the handsome man in front of me.

"Yess, I do"

.

"yEs, I dO" Taehyung said that in the annoying tone for the nth time. It has been 2 weeks since me and jungkook have started dating.

I was standing at the back stage trying to practice my vocals for the last time. It was a singing competition but we had to sing an original song. So here I am while taehyung is annoying me.

He is in the management committee as a senior, Is he even doing anything other than annoying me?

"Can you stop it" I said glaring at him while he chuckled.

"Never, ugly head. That was the cringiest shit I ever saw. I need mental compensation or something" he said and I rolled my eyes paying no attention to him.

"Anyway, where is lover boy? What is he singing?" Taehyung asked and I glared at him again.

"Don't call him so casually. He has a name. Moreover he is busy, jungkook likes to practice alone. Also he said, he would suprise me, so I don't know the song he wrote" I said and he looked at me with concern.

"Next on stage is Jeon Jungkook" I heard jungkook's name and went closer to the stage, peeping a little only.

Jungkook walked past me on the stage. "all the best" I whispered. I didn't realise he would come from the same direction as me.

Jungkook turned a little, didn't say or do anything and then went on stage facing the audience.

I waited for the song to start, it started. A second later, my heart stopped beating.

It is the song, I wrote.
For him at that.

"Hey, hey, y/n what is he singing!?" Taehyung came closer to me and whispered.

"I sent him a video of me playing since he was pestering" I said and taehyung sighed louder.

"That mfing snake." He cursed, I was still.

"Y/n be ready, you are next" the back stage manager said and left. If I wasn't notified, I was now.

"Wait, Y/n you know the song Pink?" Taehyung asked me.

I didn't respond, If I will, he is going to scream. "Oh god, Y/n I know you snoop around my diary. Just tell me if you know?" I nodded.

"Every single word?" He asked.

"Every single word. I have read that multiple times" I confessed.

"Great, I'll take over the background music since the music support would have no idea. Sing that" he said and I stayed still.

"Y/n SING THAT!!" he said again and I was broken from the trance.

"Oh, yeah yeah" I mumbled.

"Go on the stage. I'll talk to the music support" he said and rushed out of there.

Meanwhile, jungkook was done. The audience screamed for him and the host showered him with praises.

He walked back, saw me but decided to walk past.

"Did you love me, you thief?" I asked.

He snickered. "Yes, I did. But it was annoying that you were good at everything. Let me win this competition, if you love me." he said and scoffed.

"You envied me" His eyes scrunched.

"No, I didn't-"

"Shut up, Jungkook. I have a show to win"

"Let's have cho Y/n on stage now" I heard my name. I walk past him and stepped on the stage. It was dark in the audience but all kinds of lights showering me. My eyes fell on Taehyung in the corner hidden by stage wings.

He was ready on the keyboard. He mouthe. (One... twoo... Three!"

And I started singing.

.

I won the competition, but I lost once again at life.

"Let's go" Taehyung said taking the trophy and the gift prize from my hands so I could get down from the stage without falling.

"Y/n" I heard my name. I looked around it was jungkook with that runner up prize in his hand.

"Fuck you" saying this I turned around and walked out of the venue.

While walking I noticed taehyung hands holding his handkerchief infront of me.

"Just wipe that snotty nose of your, I can't stand next to a dirty girl" he said and I realised my nose was running and there were a few tears. I took his black colour handkerchief and covered my eyes to wipe the tears but I started to tear a lot.

I hugged the next thing to to my side and it was Taehyung.

"10 mins at Max." he said while I cried.

A prideful asshole as always. But who am I to curse him when the very first relationship I had betrayed me because of envy, he wasnt jealous for me but of me.

Quite literally because of his envy.

Envy won over me. A sin won above me and they say evil never wins.

Y/n : 0
Sin : 2
