My heart went cold. She jumped off the bed and ran away. I sat there silently, next to the cold and empty bed as the time kept on ticking. It kept ticking until the moon came out. Then the sun...
It's not her fault. I confronted her too quickly. She needed time. She wasn't even feeling well. What were you thinking? Why did you do that? Confessing to her?! You barely know her.
I barely know her. Sighing, I pulled at my hair. I wish I knew more about her.
"I'm sorry..."
She rejected me. Obviously. Why am I so stupid?
My legs felt weak as I stood up. Dizziness took over my body. I couldn't balance myself. I glanced at the time. School is starting soon.
I dragged myself to the school and planted myself onto my seat. The rest of the class chatted away.
I felt a shadow pass me and head towards the seat diagonally across. Minhee? I looked up immediately. There she was.
She looked back towards me. Immediately, I turned my head away. I heard her sigh and talk to someone else. Taehyung?
A person tapped me on my shoulder. "Huh." I peeped up. Taehyung stood over me, with a serious expression on his face. "What's wrong bro?" I greeted him but his face remained solemn.
"Did you confess to Minhee?" he asked. Swallowing, I lifted my head up. Shit. "Uh...yeah." I murmered softly. I saw his frown and sigh of disbelief. "Why? Why did you do that? I thought we were friends!" I stood up angrily.
"I like her too!"
He grabbed my collar,"Then you shouldv'e told me, you bastard! Then I would have known that I had competition!"
I shoved him away, making him release the grip on me before pulling at his collars as well. "Why am I your competition? I got rejected anyways so what's the point of fighting!" I glanced at Minhee's direction.
She sat there with her shoulders hunched. She pushed her hair in front of her face, covering her eyes.
"You what?" he stared at me in disbelief. "Two shocking news in one day. Shit bro." he let go of me and whipped around to look at Minhee. She groaned in frustration and buried her head in her arms while sticking in earphones.
I felt the classroom bustle with excitement as they shared the gossip with the rest of the school.
"Sorry." Taehyung bit his lip.
"Well well well, what do we have here? A love triangle?" Namjoon laughed as he walked towards us.
Glaring, Minhee looked up and kicked his leg. "Just shut up and leave us alone."
"Okay okay! When will you stop with this abuse?" he whinged.
"Shut up." Taehyung growled threateningly at him. Namjoon smirked.
Turning to me, Taehyung said, "Let's go somewhere quieter."
"What? She just rejected you?" He gasped after hearing my story. "Woah, I thought no girl would reject you." He took a sip of his drink. "That's why I got mad. I thought she said yes. I still like her...and yeah." I smiled weakly.
"Are you happy because she rejected me?" I asked with a hint of pain in my voice.
"I'm still angry at you bro. You knew that I had a crush on her but knowing that she rejected you, it makes me feel better. It means I get a chance." Taehyung smirked.
"Yah." I yelled.
"What? You had a swing at my girl and I'm letting you go."
"She's not your girl yet." I smirked.
"Just shut up." he cried.
We walked back to the classroom together, laughing and making jokes. Suddenly, a teacher appeared out of nowwhere. "Aren't you two supposed to be in class?"
We stood outside the office with our hands in the air. "Ah! My arms are sore." Taehyung whinged. Laughing at his lack of physical exercise, I mocked him, "Yah, you weakling!"
I gave him a kick on the leg, causing him to lose balance. Suddenly, he was on top of me. His face was only inches away. I felt his heartbeat pound on my chest. Suddenly, I heard a loud and surprised gasp.
Minhee stood ahead, with an extremely shocked face.
"It's not what it looks like!" Taehyung yelped, scrambling to get off me. "I'm straight as heck." he ran towards her in panic. "Trust me."
"I don't have much trust in anybody though." she raised her eyebrows, giving us a judging look. Taehyung stood there, shocked at her statement.
"I swear on my lunch we weren't having a make out session." I looked at her. Her flickered towards me, displaying a look of guilt and sadness.
"I know." A hint of humor shone on her face. Taehyung sighed with relief. "This is the first time I've seen you talk so much." she grinned at Taehyung. "You must be really flustered." Taehyung coughed.
She's smiling at someone else...not me...
"He starts off being super quiet and stuff, charming to girls, but don't be fooled. His personality is incredibly weird, even as his best friend I can't even accept it. He would probably seem like he's an alien from outer space to a stranger."
I wanted to divert her attention away from him.
Minhee widened her eyes. "You guys are close friends?"
"No, not at all. How can I be close friends with this person?" I shook my head as I focused on her. She seemed fine talking to me. So I should probably be fine too...right?
Taehyung whacked me on the head playfully. "HAAAUUUMPH" he produced a weird sound. "Bro! That's not nice! I'm nothing like an alien. I thought we were actually best buddies!"
"You just proved my point of you being an alien." I tried to hide my smile as he realised what he just did.
"Urrggghhh. Who cares?" he laughed and put his arms around my shoulders, squeezing my head together.
"That hurts!" I yelled.
"Serves you right!" He shouted back at me.
Shaking her head, Minhee glanced down at the bundle in her hands. "We have P.E next period. I brought your uniforms. Change after you finish detention."
"Wow thanks. That's very kind of you." Taehyung babbled happily. Obviously. His crush just brought him clothes. "Stop being so talkative, I'm not used to it." she laughed. You must be happy.
"Thanks." I muttered.
