BTS: I Think I Love You

Chapter 27

The week passes by in a blur after the party. I can't stop thinking about the date today. It may not be an actual date, but it makes me happy to think like that. Jungkook said that he would meet me an hour after school ends in front of the gate because he and the guys have a music club meeting. That gives me plenty of time to see what Tom wants from me before meeting Jungkook.

I didn't tell him about Tom. That would have required me to tell him that he was the main bully in my life. If they found out, they would go after him. They have already expressed that they would go after whoever hurt me. I don't want them to get hurt in any way. Tom has a lot of friends, he wouldn't hesitate to do something to them. The guys have been such good friends to me, I can't stand by and watch them get hurt because of me.

I pack up my things and say goodbye to the guys, waving as they make their way to their club meeting. They invited me to join them, but I don't want to intrude. They are amazingly talented singers, and I can't really sing at all. I would just slow them down. Jungkook turns around at the door to wave at me one last time, a small smile on his face.

"Are you sure you don't want to join us just for today?" He asks, his eyebrows crinkled with worry. I nod my head, smiling to let him know that I'll be alright.

"Don't worry Jungkook, I'll be fine. It's only an hour anyway. I'll probably just read."

He frowns, his concerned look not leaving his face.

"Ok, if you say so."

I shake my head, standing up with my backpack over my shoulders and on my back.

"Kookie! I'll be fine, don't worry."

He smiles lightly at me, walking out the door and running to catch up with the rest of the guys. I smile as I watch them laugh and joke around, happy to have such amazing friends.

The campus is silent as I make my way to the front, everyone either in club meetings or at home already. The wind blows my hair and skirt, the breeze nice and cool on my skin. I sigh as I see Tom waiting for me at the distance, my heart rate accelerating. I don't think I will ever get used to seeing him. The memories are too vivid, too intense. I don't think I can find it in me to ever forgive him for what he did to me either. He took away my happiness for the longest time. He made me doubt myself, made me believe that I was as worthless as he had told me I was.

I clear my throat as I come to stand in front of him, my eyes cast down and to the ground in fear and intimidation. Tom chuckles at this, no doubt in my mind that he knows how much he still frightens me.

"What do you want?"

My voice is soft and low as I ask him the question. He smirks at me, coming closer to my body.

"I only want one thing from you. Give me that and I promise that I will leave you alone."

I narrow my eyes at him, not believing that all he wants is one thing. It is also true that Tom has never gone back on his word. He states what he is going to do, carrying it out till the end. Maybe I can trust this guy. What other choice do I have?

"Ok. What is it?"

He walks closer to me, making me step back in apprehension. I stop once my back is pressed against the wall of the school, his body trapping me in place as he cages me in with his large hands.

"I want you to kiss me."

I blanch at his words. He wants me to kiss him? Why? He has kissed me numerous times before. He sees my inquisitive look, his smirk deepening.

"The thing is, I have never shared a real kiss with you. I'm going to kiss you, and you need to kiss me back and act like you mean it. You do that and I'll never bother you again."

My eyes widen at this. All I have to do is kiss him like I mean it and he'll leave me alone? On one hand, I really want him to leave me be. He has been tormenting me for long enough, and this could be my only chance at getting some peace of mind. On the other hand, it is true that I have never actually kissed Tom. The only person I find myself wanting to kiss is Jungkook, and that doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. It would just feel unnatural, but I guess the outcome would be worth it.

"Ok. I'll do it" I say quietly, my eyes locking with his for the first time since I came to this school. The look in them scares me, the hostility evident in his gaze. I watch with wide eyes as he comes closer to me, his lips parted in anticipation. I will my eyes to close, not wanting to see the sight of him coming closer and close to my face. I put my hand on the back of his neck, his lips touching mine. They are wet and unpleasant, my eyes scrunching tightly at the feeling.

I force my lips to move against his, cringing when his hands make their way to my waist. His tongue is forced into my mouth, me almost choking in disgust at the slippery muscle. When he final releases me I don't hesitate to spit, wiping my lips off on the back of my hand. He chuckles at my reaction, still facing me as he walks away.

"See, that wasn't so bad."

I shudder as his figure disappears, sitting down on the cold cement. I take out my phone and see that I still have forty minutes until Jungkook is to finish with his meeting. I hug my knees to my chest, closing my eyes as I wait for him to come.
