Chapter 8

"What is it?" Taehyung asked me again after I didn't respond for a minute.

This is it. Just tell him.

"Don't get mad at me, but I think your girlfriend is cheating on you." I said finally getting the truth out in the open. There was a deafening silence and I nervously looked at Taehyung. His face showed no emotion as he blankly looked out onto the street. I could physically feel the tension rise in the air as I waited for him to say something.

After another minute Taehyung finally opened his mouth and sighed, catching me completely off guard. His eyes down casted for a second, looking at his hands lightly gripping the steering wheel and in the split second his eyes that showed no emotion was now full of sadness.

"I know." He whispered half heartily. Taehyung then opened a compartment and took out some sunglasses, immediately putting them to cover his eyes.

"You know?" I asked, astonished, raising an eyebrow, disregarding that it he was wearing sunglasses when it wasn't even sunny.

"Namjoon isn't very stealthy. I saw them leave together when they didn't even talk to Mr.Park and the way they act around each other...."Taehyung looked the other way. "it's pretty obvious."

"Why don't you break up with her? She's cheating on you." I said, moving slightly as Taehyung drove the car outside the apartment complex, but didn't say anything until he parked the car.

"It's complicated." He mumbled, . The words were spoken so soft that if I didn't have increased hearing I wouldn't of heard it. I shifted again uncomfortable, not sure what to say.

"I'm sorry I brought it up. I just thought you should know." I mumbled guilt starting to wash over me. Taehyung looked up at the sky outside of his mirror for a brief moment and back to the front. "It's ok." Taehyung said simply, unbuckling and opening the car door. "But, answer me this though." Taehyung quickly changed the subject with his black eyes bearing into me. I sat there wondering what he could want.

I didn't respond. The tension in the room somehow intimating me. "You're not really dating Namjoon, are you?" I looked at him dumbfounded, blinking once, twice, three times as he looked at me. Finally I spoke. "No." I said. "No I'm not." Taehyung nodded his head "then I'm happy. If he was cheating on Rosanna I would of kicked his ass." After he said that he quickly got out , shutting it with a heavy thud. The sound echoed in my ears, lingering for a second before disappearing into the cold air that had moved in.

What did I do..... I asked myself.

I felt terrible down to the bone, or maybe it was the drunken-like state coming earlier than expected, either way I slowly unbuckled to get out. The loud click going through me as I stared straight ahead.

I had a flash of deja vu walking into the apartment from five weeks ago and saw that it hadn't changed on bit.

Taehyung flicked on the lights and took off his shoes.

I did the same.

"Where can I sleep?" I looked around as if this was my first time here, peering at all the photos and wall decor he had on his walls.

"You don't have to pretend you haven't been here." Taehyung's voice rang in my ears, shocking me.

How did he know?

"How did you know?" I asked, repeating my though out loud.

Taehyung smirked a little, setting his keys down. "You haven't changed from the last time I saw you. The way you danced gave it away." Taehyung laughed a little, pausing for a second. "and also... Namjoon told me." I rolled my eyes.
