Taehyung's pov

Pathetic!

She called herself pathetic!

But who Am I then?

She's not pathetic. She loves Jungkook with her whole heart, and it's tearing me apart.

I was just 18 when I thought I had my first relationship—or whatever it was with Yuna. Those days were a struggle, we were trying hard to fit in this k pop industry and I found myself drawn to her. She confessed first, and I said yes, caught up in the whirlwind of school, training, everything. Then the truth came out, she was also seeing Felix, a wealthy boy from our school. Confronting her led to accusations that I wasn't trying hard enough, that I didn't give her the time she needed. But it was all a lie. She was attracted to Felix's money, his lavish gifts.

It wasn't love on my part, I admit that. She was the first girl I ever felt romantic thoughts for, but it all fell apart quickly. We barely spent any quality time together. Watching her and other girls betray their boyfriends for money convinced me all girls were gold diggers. They'd ditch you the moment someone wealthier came along.

For 9 years, I held onto that belief. Every girl I met seemed to confirm it until I met her .

Annie!

The clumsy girl from the library. The library was my sanctuary; I loved reading there. Even when we became wealthy, I couldn't leave it behind. Sure, I could afford any book, but the peace I found there was irreplaceable.

"I saw it first, this book is mine!" she argued with me one day. I'd seen her before,laughing loudly where silence should reign, crying softly over her books, or blaming others for her clumsiness.

She seemed like just another attention seeker.

Then I saw her at Soo Hyun's place, and my suspicions grew, yes she was a gold digger.

One night, returning from my grandmother's favorite spot, now mine too, I found a group of boys harassing a girl. I chased them off and found Annie, tears streaming down her face, her dress torn.

I don't know why, but something changed that night. I started to care about her.

I kept going to the library, but now it was to see her, hear her voice, talk to her.

I started taking pictures of her, not on purpose at first. I just liked seeing her, but soon I couldn't stop. I kept them in a special place.

The night I kissed her, it wasn't planned,it just happened. But it changed everything. My feelings weren't innocent anymore. I didn't just want to see her; I wanted to hold her, kiss her, make her mine.

But then Jungkook's revelation shattered everything. She loved him.

She loved him!

But he didn't deserve her.

We'd been together for years, and I knew Jungkook couldn't stay with one girl for long. He'd get bored and leave her eventually.

But what about me?

I couldn't forget her.

I'd fallen deeply in love with her.

I tried to push my feelings down, but I failed. One day, in a fit of anger, I confessed to her.

And felt pathetic.

Then I left.

I was dealing with everything when someone contacted my company with pictures of me and a girl. When we saw them, I realized they were from the kiss. My company paid to keep it quiet, but then Jungkook announced he was getting married in two days.

My world froze. I never thought Jungkook would be serious. I thought he'd leave her, and maybe then she'd realize my love. But no, he planned to marry her.

So, I made some pictures go viral again, blurring her face so no one could recognize her.

That morning, when Jungkook left my house, I knew something was up. I wanted him to hurt her more, to break her heart so she could never forgive him. And he did, he insulted her , break her apart. I was silent when everyone was trying to calm down jungkook.

When I said, "I hate you," it wasn't because she was getting married. It was because she made me do this.

Play my own brother.

Jungkook would be fine soon. He'd move on quickly.

But me?

I feel so guilty for everything I've done to make her mine.

Those girls slut-shaming her and harassing her, they weren't fans. They were hired by my manager. It was all staged to push us together. There were no cameras there, no news coverage. It was all fake. Just to show her that it was happening, to  make her feel restless. She was already vulnerable she wasn't thinking much.

I didn't show her the kiss picture because I knew if she saw it, she'd confront Jungkook, and their conversation could ruin my plans. I only showed her innocent pictures to make her doubt Jungkook's trust.

I make her feel he didn't trust her.

But he did..

he just chose me over her .

And I feel guilty for it.

I sent Jungkook away because I needed her to move on from him.

But then she saw my manager with those girls who'd been harassing her. She saw them together when they were asking for money and she thought it was my manager's plan to make them harrassing her but she had no idea it was me.

Everything was planned.

And as she saw them together My plan could fail.

I was on the phone with him when I saw her behind me.

Damn it!

She heard everything!
