Shenanigans

[Author's POV]

Hana went out of the cinema with laughter, still not finish making fun of Taehyung.

'I can't even, okay. The popcorn fell out of the bucket.' Hana doubled over, can't contain her laughter. There went out of the cinema. They headed to the automatic glass door and made their way to the indoor garden.

'Stop. Laughing.' Taehyung head locked Hana out of embarrassment. She was referring to that part when Taehyung jumped a little when the possessed girl in the movie suddenly appeared. Some of the popcorn ended up falling out of the bucket.

'Let me go.' Hana tickled Taehyung, her laughter still hasn't died. Taehyung let go of her but kept his arms around her shoulder. Hana pat Taehyung's back.

'Who would have thought, the almighty Kim Taehyung is a scaredy cat.' They both laughed.

Hana suddenly stopped in her track. Her heart dropped. Taehyung was still laughing, oblivious to her sudden change. She wanted to turned back but she couldn't move her feet. Her limbs refused to move with her command. Taehyung noticed Hana's pale face then when her shoulders began to tremble.

'Hey, are you okay ? Hana ?' Taehyung patted Hana's arm a little, leaned in to her face to check on her.

'Hana, is that you ?' Taehyung suddenly heard a girl's voice called Hana. He looked up and saw a girl their age, with long dark hair, wearing a rather provocative outfit.

'He-hey, Irene. What are you doing in Seoul ?' Hana replied. Her face looked like she'd rather be anywhere but there.

'Jaebum and I are going on a date. He went to the toilet.' Irene said. 'I was worried when you stopped coming to school. Turned out that you moved to Seoul. Is it good here ? I can see that you're enjoying yourself. You got a new boy toy ? That was fast. Thought I admit, he is very cute.' The girl winked at Taehyung. He raised his eyebrows, surprised.

Is this the kind of friend Hana involved with at her last school ? Or she even her friend ? This girl didn't look nice at all and Hana doesn't look happy seeing her. A hundred thoughts went on Taehyung's mind.

'Is she your friend from your old school ?' Taehyung asked, just enough for Hana to hear. Hana tried to turn around but suddenly a guy made their way to them.

'Baby, looked. It's Hana.' This must be Jaebum, Taehyung thought. He has a black hair and he was wearing a cap. 'We haven't seen her for quite a while, right ? Well she has a new boyfriend now.' The girl laughed, a high pitched, fake laugh that annoyed Taehyung.

'Hana ?' Jaebum looked at Hana up and down. Taehyung can felt Hana getting uncomfortable. 'Well, no surprise. She might as well have dated all the guy in her new school. Getting a new guy is no big deal, right, Hana ?'

Taehyung was ticked off by this guy's attitude. 'I think you guy's misunderstood. I'm not her boyfriend.'

'Well, not now, but soon enough. No one can resist Hana's charm. You'll enjoy her company later.' Irene chuckled at Jaebum's word. 'Right, Hana ?'

Taehyung wanted to punch this guy square on the face. Hana looked like she might cry. He wanted to take her away from these people but Hana made up her mind before he did. Hana turned around, making her way out of the building to a quite area away from the entrance. Taehyung quickly ran after her.

People were looking at them weird for running out of the mall because it was raining outside. The rained was heavy so it was hard for Hana to run fast. Taehyung was able to catch up to her before she could even make it so far.

'Hey, Hana, stop !' Taehyung grabbed her hand, turning her to face him. He was shocked to see her eyes red. She was crying. 'Tell me what happened back there ! Why did you run ?'
