VI.
It's weird but you are having coffee with one of the most popular guys in school, Kim Seok Jin. Both of you were in the school's cafeteria. It was not really a cafeteria but more like a restaurant in style. You would often eat lunch here with Yuna, but right now, you're with him.
Kim Seokjin was staring at you for quite a long time now. Ever since you both settled on the table, he didn't utter a word and only looked at you as if he was looking at his own reflection.
"Excuse me, I know I'm pretty but will you stop looking at me? You're giving me the creeps." You said.
"Oh, am I?" He raised a brow and smirked. "You really are beautiful." He chuckled.
"Like obviously?" You shot back and leaned back on your chair. "Again, what do you want?"
"I don't know, unless I'm thinking of asking you being my girlfriend." He smiled as he rested his chin on the back of his hand, looking at you.
"Oh brother." You scoffed, flipping your hair in annoyance from what he said. "Yah, you think I'm that easy? I'm just a freshman but damn, you're messing with the wrong person." You said in gritted teeth.
"Why? You like Kim Taehyung now?" He shot back, which made you fall quiet all of the sudden. Did he just asked you that you liked Taehyung?
"What the hell are you talking about? In his dreams." You hissed.
"Well, so you like me?" He raised a brow again.
You laughed sarcastically not knowing what to react in his oh-so-effing-lame joke. "What in the world are you talking about? You think you're that perfect that anyone could love that easily?"
Then he suddenly turned to the next table with a bunch of girls drooling over him; he winked at them and the girls started spazzing over such gesture. You groaned in frustration as you can't believe what was going on.
"Isn't that enough proof? I'm someone girls are head over heels of."
"You think?" You scoffed, but eventually shrugged everything in your mind. "You know, this is nonsense. I don't like talking to you." You spoke as you stood up and was about to leave when Kim Seok Jin spoke:
"Kim Taehyung and I are twins."

Later on, classes ended and you went straight to the Literary Club instead of going straight home. Suga told you that there was a meeting so members should be there, but as soon as you got there, no one was there except for Kim Taehyung alone.
"Is it canceled?" You asked him, but he only gave you a cold shoulder. "So I guess it is.." You nodded to yourself and was about to leave when he spoke.
"Sit."
"Ehh?" You blinked.
"I said sit. We need to talk." He said sternly and you have no choice but to do what he told you to do. You sat a few chairs away from him, then he stood up and went to lock the door and pulled the curtain down to close the glass windows.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing??" You asked, standing up.
"Don't worry, you're not my type." Taehyung snapped which made you sighed in relief, so you just thought that he wants to talk about something important and deep. You watched him walk his way back to his chair then after a moment, he looked at you with a smirk. "I assume you already know my relationship with Kim Seokjin."
"You locked me inside this clubroom with you and ask me that I know about your family issues?" You shot back. "Interesting."
"I'm glad that you're not curious at all." He said next. "I was worried that you might be as nosy as any body could be.."
"Well, not all people are curious about your life. That includes me." You replied.
Kim Taehyung only held out a short chuckle, then after that he pulled out a gold envelope from his coat and gave it to you. "It's a gala party. Only young elites are invited."
"So you mean you're-"
"Inviting you to be my date." He completes your sentence.
"And why would you choose me?" You scoffed, but you were flattered since he was starting to ask you nicely.
"You're smart, beautiful and I know you would be a perfect date." He said but his face was still cold and a bitch.
You gave him a look before you spoke again, "You're not going to use me to make a girl jealous, are you? Because I'm not that cheap to be like a frawd date."
"You think I'm that type?" He raised a brow.
"What about Kim Seokjin? He's gonna be there right?" You asked as you thought of Kim Seokjin being his twin brother, of course, he's an elite and he should be there too.
"He has his own date." He replied and stood up. "Wear something appropriate and be sure to look human tomorrow night. I'll have my chaffeur wait for you at your house tomorrow evening."
"That's it?" You asked and he nodded.
"And lastly, don't tell anyone." He warned.
-
"OMAYGASH! SON HERA! YOU BISH!" Yuna screamed as you told her about Kim Taehyung asking you to be his date. "I knew it would be possible for the two of you!"
"Ew. Not a chance." You rolled your eyes as you ate the porridge on her table. "We're not even the opposites so we don't attract, we repel."
"Please don't talk science here. I've had enough with those in middle school." She pouted and you just laughed at her.
"So, how're you feeling?" You asked her, then Yuna just gave you a thumbs-up. "Not well enough?" You asked again and she nodded.
"Yep, I have a very bad flu." She pouted, but before you could say something about it; she suddenly gasped.
"What?"
"It's about Kim Taehyung actually. My friends from the Velvet Club told me something about him, which you'll be surprised to know." She said.
"Hmm?" You raised a brow, finding it interesting. "Try me."
"Taehyung's a two-timer." Yuna shortly spoke and waited for your reaction which you actually didn't have. "Oh, come on Hera. I know it's something shocking!"
"To be honest, I'm not shocked nor surprise at all. With that face? He can date all the girls in Seoul University." You commented.
"But come to think of it, why would he go to Japan every weekend? Then my friends would often see him in a hotel with another girl. And he would often stay there all night and-"
"Stop, I'm not interested." You smiled, but deep inside you were having stupid imaginations about it.
"You sure are?"
"Yes, I'm just his date tomorrow night and after that no more Kim Taehyung in my life." You said as a promise to yourself and to Yuna.
"But Hera, I can see a bright lovely future in you and Taehyung. TaeRa for the win." She grinned.
"I'm going home. Bye Yuna." You said nonchalantly and left her room with a frown.
