Chapter 4

*Nova's Pov*

"Taehyung when did you receive those messages?" I sat down near the closest chair after calming down. He knelt down in front of me, placing his head on his arms that were laying on my legs.

I had this sudden urge to just touch his hair and play with it but I couldn't. We had to find out what the hell happened during the airport.

He hesitated before answering, "It was when I was rushing to the airport to see you."

*Taehyung's Pov*

"Come on I have to go!" I hit the steering wheel in anger. I was ten minutes away from the airport to see Nova and this traffic is just making it worse. My patience was diminishing by the second if these damn cars wouldn't hurry the hell up.

I grabbed my phone out of my bag to call Nova. If I was going to be late and not say goodbye, I would rather tell it to her over the phone before she would think that I had left her. I pressed the home button to see she had contacted me.

"3 messages from Nova? Is she mad at me?" I muttered to myself, thinking how cute she would be if she was mad. I pressed the first message reading it through carefully.

Taehyung don't come to the airport to see me today. I have to tell you the truth. I don't love you. I never did. It was all just a lie to get to your head. It was fun playing around with you. But now that I'm leaving, I don't want to see you again.

Taehyung, I know you're probably mad but I don't care. I love Jimin and I always will. He is the one for me, and I'm happy that he is. You were just a burden to my life and one of the worst boyfriends I've ever had. Hyungsik might have cheated on me but you topped him.

So just leave my life. I want to be with Jimin. And all those tears cried over you weren't real, just fake ones ofc. So do whatever you want in life but don't pick up my calls because I'm only going to be drunk and brag about how good my life is going to be in America with Jimin. So bye I guess? Lol

By now my hand was shaking in disbelief. I threw my phone behind me, not wanting to see the messages any longer. I continued to process the words that I had read from Nova, not believing that it could have been her who wrote it.

"Fuck!" I punched the steering wheel as unwanted tears started flowing down my pale face. The only thing I could do was cry. I didn't care who saw me. It was the only way to let my anger out.

I thought about the time when I first met Nova. God how she hated me. I started liking her while I was dating Jinhya and I didn't feel bad for one second. I knew after that day when she insulted the hell out of me, that she was the one.

The one who I would rely on whenever I wanted to let my anger out. Who would understand me whenever I told her things that I have never told anyone before. After she told me about her mother, I knew we could both trust each other.

But after reading the messages, did she ever tell me the truth about herself? How she hated crabs, cats, people in general, loud chewing, loud music, anything loud really, and her mom. Did her mom actually die or was that another lie to feel bad for her?

I wanted to not believe the words that she wrote and sent it to me. But the fact that she had the audacity to even say that to, kills me. I would have never thought those words would spill out and eventually ruin me as a whole.

She loves Jimin and not me. I wouldn't be surprised if they smothered each other with hugs and kisses right now. Just thinking about those two together riles me up and want to punch anything in my sight.

But for the first time in a while, I wasn't mad, angry, or furious. I was unbelievably sad. I wanted to let out a scream and just cry in my room. I still and always will love Nova. No matter what.

So I'll let her do her thing in America but once she comes back. I need to figure out everything that she had said.

"That's why I never came to see you." I looked up to see Nova wipe her tears away but many more continued to flow down quick. I stood up, walking towards the door.

"Tae." I stopped.

"It wasn't me. I swear on it. I never loved Jimin. You were never a burden in my life. If anything you made it better and I felt happier. I never played with your heart because I wanted to be the one who took it and cherish it more than anything. And I did love you. I still do." She finished off, walking towards her desk to continue her work.

"But it doesn't change anything between us right? You still want nothing to do with me." I dryly chuckled. I looked back to see her hesitant before nodding slowly. I knew she didn't want me since I was with Jinhya.

"It has to be that way Taehyung. You and Jinhya are having a kid and I can tell she loves you. She can take care of you better than I ever did." She smiled slightly. I know everything about Nova and when she's lying but I couldn't spot it this time. She was serious. I didn't like it but what she was saying was partly true.

I had to take care of Jinhya for now on but we aren't together. My parents just thought it would be best if we lived together even if they didn't like her as much as they loved Nova. I couldn't speak, my throat felt as if I was being choked and it was harder to breathe.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. See you soon Nova." I waved, trudging slowly towards the door. I slid it opened and closed it behind me, hearing her soft cries for the last time.

I'm not letting her go. I never will. A baby can't stop me from being with the woman that I love. But now I have to worry about being the CEO or would rather let Nova take the position.

"I will take you back. No matter how hard it would be. Don't worry Nova." I whispered to no one. I walked away, now having the mind of what to do and how to get her back because I won't stop till I do.
