HIS NEMESIS | TAENNIE (COMPLETED)

Slideshow

JENNIE

All the dancing had died down; people were seated and chatting. And after our dance Taehyung had just disappeared into thin air.

Nowhere to be seen. It's been about 10 minutes that he's gone. He might have left.

I drank some water before scanning the room again— looking for him.

Suddenly the lights went dim. Only the stage lights were on. The staff then brought out a projector as well as a board.

It was obvious what was about to happen; going down memory lane. I sat straight ready for it.

"I bet you 20 bucks you'll see a video of Jimin shitting his pants on the first day" Hoseok giggles with Rose.

"Deal," She says, laughing; that made me laugh too cause I remember on our first day, Jimin shit his pants cause he was too nervous.

"Can y'all just shut up? And you're not making a deal with my girlfriend," He says firmly while Hoseok is trying to act serious while Chaeyoung is losing it.

"Sorry baby, but the deal has already been made," Rosé says with a pout; I smile at their ridiculousness.

"It's time to go down memory lane!" A teacher, Mrs. Kung says into the microphone.

The slideshow began with everyone laughing at old photos of them and their friends.

We were also laughing cause we did indeed see a young Jimin walking around in his trousers, covered in poop.

"My 20 bucks,"  Hoseok says, "What, no!" Rose denied, and they started arguing while Jimin held his face in his palms, embarrassed and fed up.

There were pictures of seniors who bunked and ended up hanging out on the steps and a bunch of memories.

But then the projector went off as the teacher came in, "I request you all to go to the second hall for the prom queen and king competition," She said as everyone got up, including us.

"Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, Lisa, Jin, Taehyung, Jimin, Jungkook, Yoongi, Hoseok, Namjoon, and Kai, please stay back," she requested. We all looked at each other, confused as to why we had to stay back.

Where the fuck is Taehyung??

"What the fuck!? I'm gonna be King. I need to be there," Jin squeals, looking at his watch.

"Jin chill your balls" Jisoo says rolling her eyes at the latter.

"Don't worry, Hyung, this will only take a few minutes," A voice says, echoing through the speakers; I turn around to look at him.

"What is it?" Jin asks. Just then, the projector is on again, and a video appears. I recognize the video from the thumbnail.

"Play," he instructed, and then the video started playing; I was sleeping peacefully, but then Kai came in.

And the rest is well known within myself, tears started forming. I felt my eyes swell with tears when the video stopped and Taehyung started speaking.

"My love, I'm sorry for not believing you or trying to hear you out. I did so because." He pauses, taking a deep breath.

"Because I was afraid of what I'd hear about my cousin, who was like a brother to me; I was afraid you'd show me what a monster he was." He says, holding eye contact with me; his eyes were filled with sincerity.

"But not anymore, I realize that I love you more than anything, and I'm ashamed that I let such a small matter affect us. I will make this short; please forgive me," He says, all eyes turn to me.

I stare at Taehyung and then back at Jisoo, who nods; Jin also nods. "Go go!" Lisa says, pushing me towards Taehyung, who now has gotten off the stage.

I turned to Taehyung as I took a step closer, and another and another one after that.

When I finally stood in front of him and looked into his eyes, I could see his desire for my forgiveness.

"I forgive you," I say, his shoulders immediately relaxed. "But I need to tell you something else," I say, my voice nearly echoing in the hall.

All the staff members have left us alone, just us and our friends. "You might've always wondered why I demised Kai so much," I say, inhaling deeply.

"Years ago, he tried to." My breath got caught in my throat, and I felt my tears threatening to spill.

"He tried- tried to." I couldn't say it; I don't know if it was fear or if I felt ashamed to tell him that his cousin tried such dirty acts on me.

"I know baby. I know," He says as I look up at him and blink, "What?" He nods. "I know what he did. While I was digging on the camera he used, I also saw a picture of you after he did what he did," He confesses.

"And I'm fucking sorry something as horrible as that happened to you. You didn't deserve that nor the disrespect and he'll be punished," He says, looking up and around the room, glaring at Kai, who stood behind us.

Kai started clapping his hands loudly while laughing like a maniac, "Wow! What a movie. I think I might've felt a tear or two" He says sarcastically.

Taehyung glared at him, ready to pounce at him like a predator pounced on its prey. I squeezed his biceps as he relaxed but just momentarily.

"Well, I assume that you've seen the picture of your beautiful girlfriend after I-" Taehyung grabbed him by the collar so fast I had no time to react.

Before I knew it Taehyung was punching his face in mash, Kai's blood skilled to the collar of his suit.

But Kai fought back, delivering punches that could knock the air out of Taehyung. The two of them were close to ripping each other's heads off before Namjoon separated them.

"You both need to calm down," Namjoon says, shoving Kai against the wall while turning to face Taehyung.

Kai slides down against the wall while maintaining eye contact with Taehyung.

Taehyung tasks turning around while running his fingers through his hair.
