My Past Love Story

Chapter 22

[AFTER 4 DAYS]

Y/N POV

I am listening to the radio right now waiting for a certain song...... White Horse. It's her new song to be released today and I'm soooo excited.

When I was waiting, I was thinking about Taehyung.... I wonder what will he do on his birthday? I mean, 2 days after his birthday will be 2009. So, is he prepapring for New Year? Well, I wonder what's my food for New Year... I don't think mom will spend the day here.

While actually overthinking, the song starts to play in the radio. Say you're sorry, that face of an angel. Comes out just when you need it to~

“As I paced back and forth all this time 'cause I honestly believed in you~” I sang along while feeling the music in my veins.... This got me feeling like an air conditioner. Goosebumps starts to crawl on my body when I heard the part when she said 'It's too late for you and your white horse, to come around'

I've always listened to the 'Taylor's Version' of this song so I didn't really heard the original and there's one thing I can say. Her voice is majestic. Impressive. Beautiful.

As the song ended, I turned off the radio and went to sleep. God, I miss my 15 hour sleep...

Y/N POV

I'm planning to go to Daegu since it's Taehyung's birthday. The school ended and I immediately ran to the bus stop and took a bus to Daegu.

On the bus, I was thinking about the present. I mean, it's been years since I've been here. Does that mean that it's already 2025 when I'll be back? Or not? Whatttt?

Suddenly, the bus came to stop and I lost my resistance and inertia and literally went forward. “Ouch! Aish...” I said as I bumped my head. And when I looked outside, I saw that the bus stop says 'Daegu' so I immediately stood up and rode off of the bus.

I felt like I am looking like a fool right now, but who cares? I'm going to the nearest bench to rest and then find him.

After resting, I was walking around when I saw a boy my age, walking around too. It's him! But he seems sad, what happened? Me being an extroverted person, I decided to go to him and ask him what's wrong. He shouldn't be sad on his birthday.

“Hey! Ahm... I just saw you being sad, are you perhaps... Fine?” I asked, doesn't really know what happened. I mean, who hurted him? After asking him that, he cried burying his face in his palms.

I got really worried... It's literally his birthday!

“O-Ohh, it's okay. W-Whatever's your problem, it's f-fine...” I said as I carefully and gently pat his back. “S-She rejected me... On my b-birthday.” he said as he continue crying.

Ohh, I didn't know that.

“I know what that feels, and I feel sorry for you. I'm really sorry, but... You shouldn't be crying on your birthday, you should be happy. Yes, she rejected you. It's because she's blind. She didn't see your beautiful personality. And that's the reason to let her go.” I said as I keep patting his back. He felt better, I think?

After a while, he stopped crying and looked at me “Thank you for comforting me, it really helped. Ohh, can I ask your name? You helped me but I don't know you, I'll feel bad about it.”

“Don't feel bad, you've helped me so much.” I said and he looked at me confused. “I'm sorry, but I don't think I know you. How did I help you?” I didn't answer his question.

“Happy birthday Taehyungshii, thank you for helping me when I need help for my mental health. I can't thank you all enough. I.... I-I... Love you.” I said and seemed shocked.

“How did you know my name? Who are you?” he kept asking me and I just didn't answer it. “It's on your nameplate. Y/n, by the way.” I said and ran to the nearest bus station. I literally lied about the nameplate thing. Of course I know his name!

When I rode the bus, I saw him looking at me so I just waved at him.

Then, when the bus stopped to Gwacheon, I rode off and walked home.

It's New Year in 2 days!!
