How unsettling.
I've been really bothered by the fact that he didn't attend school for 4 days and people has been gossiping, spreading rumors about how he was beaten up or something. Where the hell did they get these kind of info anyways?
Ditching my bike, I waited for him at the bus stop in hope that he will show up, but he didn't. It was almost lunch time and all I could think about was that secretive emo Taehyung.
The cafeteria was busy and noisy as usual, but today it was more of like noise of whispers, if that made sense. I found Seulgi at the entrance of the cafeteria, who's face was utterly shocked as I nudged her
"Hey what's the-"
"Yah you scared me!" Seulgi lightly slapped my arm as I yelped in pain
"Ouch. I didn't remember screaming in your face for you to get startled", I deadpanned as she sheepishly smiled
"Sorry, I'm still trying to believe what I'm seeing", she pointed out at a crowd surrounding the center, Bangtan's table
"Oh yeah, I was just going to ask you about what's making the commotion", I nonchalantly asked as Seulgi eyed me weirdly
"You don't know?!" she almost yelled as I shushed her
"Why, why? Is it something important?" I curiously asked as she dragged me nearer to the center, but still out of sight from people
"Look closely", she instructed and I did as told
I focused my gaze to the center and saw Bangtan sitting there. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. They're complete, why are people so interested on them more than usual- wait a minute, seven?
"SEVEN OF THEM?!" I screamed into Seulgi's ear, making her hit my arm hard this time
"You screamed in my ear idiot!" She scoffed and rubbed her mildly damaged ear, "It's amazing isn't it? They were cold to each other for half of semester but look at them now, it's like nothing happened and boom they're a whole again"
The seventh guy, it was him. The one that kept me awake at nights, thinking and worrying about, Kim Taehyung. I didn't know if the rumors were true, but there's a small band-aid on the left of his forehead and the bridge of his nose. The small scar just under his eye set my mood down
I know everyone was fussing about how Taehyung's in Bangtan again but my heart felt a huge relief because he's safe, he's there with them and not in danger like what people said
"I'm glad he's okay", I bit my lip hard in order to prevent myself from tearing up. I'm such a crybaby, but I still care for him.
His eyes were searching for something but it stopped when he looked at me. His gaze fixated on my startled eyes and in seconds, he was standing up, body language signalling that he wanted to approach me. I shook my head and stormed off, leaving the cafeteria in silence
