The Stupid Bet |kim taehyung|⌛

Ep.7

Taehyung

I texted jin and minutes later, he arrive at the school garden with mango and strawberry smoothie in his hands. He handed me the mango smoothie and gulped the strawberry smootie while he made a refreshing sound.

"Ah~ so, why did you want to meet me here? What happened?" He asked and i looked around hesitant to tell him why i wanted to meet him.

"Tae, no one is around. Just tell me, what is bothering you?" He chuckled when he saw my facial expression.

"I...I... I don't know where to start." I paused as i licked my chappered lips. I was nervous and my mind went blank in an instant. I kept on glancing at the ground and bit my lips.

"Tae-

"I've embarrased myself infront of her because of jungkook. If he didn't interfered in my conversation with her, i wouldn't have said that and this wouldn't have happened." I mumbled but i know he heard me clearly as he put his strawberry smoothie on the table and leaned back.

I sighed and ruffled my hair. This stupid bet had my heart confused and my mind in a turmoil.

"What else?"

"Well, i know what jungkook wanted to say so i covered myself by saying i...i... you know-

"By saying you like her?"

"Yes. That. I said that and because i was flustered, i walked away. I don't know how im going to face her if.... i see her again." I said and heard footsteps coming my way.

I gulped and turned around to see jungkook standing infront of me.

"Why did you said 'i like you' to her? I know you're flustered but why that? Don't you have any other reasons other than that? Why? You wanted to win the bet that much?" Jungkook questioned me as he fold his arm across his chest staring down at me.

Jin kept quite as he stared at both of us in confusion.

"Im sorry, but i know what you were about to do, i said that so i wont get busterd." I said and jungkook rolled his eyes.

"Well, tae. Jimin said you're still in the game. That little brat, i wont let you win though." With that he turned on his heels and walked away.

"What in the world?" Jin was speechless of what jungkook just said to me.

"You know him. He is very competetive when it comes to this. He dislike losing and the more i want to win, it makes me question myself why i wanted to win so badly." I sighed and turned to my right to see seulra glaring at us.

I gulped and chocked on my own saliva.

"Seul-

"What? So this is just a game? A game of what?" She glared at me tears threatening to fall as she gripped her hand on her side forming a fist.

"Seulra-

"You're the same jin. I didn't expect you to be a jerk! But you just showed me you are just the same like the rest!" She raised her voice, that's when she broke down and cried.

"I thought you were different. I trusted you. I let you sit beside me at the library, telling myself. 'You're different'. Calling you my friend. And in the end, this is what it is? A game?" Her voice broke as she didn't bother to wiped away the tears.

"N-no. Seulra.. i-

I didn't get to finished what i wanted to say, she had already walked away, leaving me. My heart ache. I wanted to run after her, to chase after her and tell her im sorry but my leg wont let me.

I stood rooted to the ground and looked down feeling guilty of what i just did. The more it broke my heart, i realised, i broke hers too.
