Love Hate [Vhope]

Chapter 3

Hoseok P.O.V
The dreaded day has arrived. Everyone was gathered in the studio, sitting happily with their pair and talking among themselves. Taehyung threw down his bag, earning a glare from me. The instructor walked in briskly, grabbing everyone's attention instantly. "I will be giving out the scripts to each pair and after that, you may rehearse together for an hour. The pair with the best acting gets a reward from me!" She waved a huge bag and loud cheers erupted. Picking up a pile of scripts, she handed them out one by one. As she passed one to me, my breath hitched, praying it did not require much interaction with Taehyung. I unfolded it slowly, ignoring Taehyung's impatient voice telling me to hurry up.
Drama: Secret Garden
My face turned pale as I read through the script. "Yah Kim Taehyung I'm not doing this." Taehyung's eyes widened as he read the lines. "But we have to." He muttered.
"You be Ha Ji Won!" Taehyung exclaimed quickly, snatching Hyun Bim's role. "Shut up I'm Hyun Bin. I'll let you copy my homework later." There is no way I will take on a female's role. Taehyung rolled his eyes but accepted my offer in the end. Heading to the corner, both of us quickly memorised our lines. Seeing us practise seperately, the instructor spoke to us. "Work together juseyo! Then you will be able to perform better." I groaned internally, looking at Taehyung who smirked. I lay on the floor and Taehyung grabbed my legs, making me squirm.
"Ready?"
I nodded reluctantly. Pushing myself upwards, my face came into contact with his and we jumped away from each other instantly. "Yah! Not so close!" Taehyung yelled. I rolled my eyes and lay down again. Trying out the scene again, I made sure not to come as close him him. "Kim Taehyung ssi, when did you become so pretty?" I muttered half heartedly. Taehyung groaned and pulled away. "Yah Hoseok! Say it with more emotion. I saw the prize, there are two boxes of chocolate! I'm hungry. I want it." My mouth watered at the mention of chocolate. Laying down again, I took a deep breath and nodded at Taehyung, indicating that I was ready. I had to get the chocolate. I pushed myself into a sitting position, placing my face close to his. I could feel his warm breath as our noses touched slightly. "Kim Taehyung ssi, when did you become so pretty?" I asked softly, tilting my head. Taehyung glanced away and pushed me down, getting on his feet instantly. "I was just joking!" I exclaimed, lifting my head to look at him. A moment of silence followed and both of us burst out laughing. ""We did it!" Taehyung screamed, earning glares from the other pairs around us. The instructor clapped her hands again, grabbing our attention. "Time is up! You have three tries." Pointing to the pair nearest to her, she signalled to them that they are the first to go. Both of them exchanged nervous looks before starting their act. As more pairs displayed their acting skills, Taehyung leaned towards me and whispered, "Hoseok, we are going to win." I glared at him for insulting the other pairs, but couldn't help grinning in the end. Time passed slowly and soon, Taehyung and I were the only ones that haven't acted yet. The instuctor motioned her hand at us and we stepped forward.
"Taehyung. Don't forget your lines. I want the chocolate."
"Speak for yourself."
I lay down on the floor and Taehyung's arms slithered around my legs, holding me down. I tried to push myself into a sitting position, but fell back down as Taehyung loosened his grip around me. "Yah Hoseok!" Taehyung scolded, evidently trying to stop himself from grinning. Groans erupted and I tried to contain my laughter. Sitting up again, I recited my lines and Taehyung too, acted out the scene perfectly. At the end of our act, everyone cheered loudly and the instructer looked at us proudly. "Looks like we have a winner! The prize goes to Taehyung and Hoseok." The younger ran up eagerly, taking the chocolate from her and sat beside me again. The pairs looked at the huge bag enviously as he took out one box for me. "You are dismissed now. There is another session next week, so be prepared!" We thanked the instructor and headed out of the room, eager to go home. "So am I your friend now?" Taehyung asked, trying to keep up with my pace. "Hmm. I don't know?" I replied, not wanting to admit that I no longer dislike him. The orange haired boy frowned and shifted himself away from me slightly. "Well then... see you tomorrow." He said and waved at me, heading in the opposite direction.
"Bye."
