Shattered - Kim Taehyung x Reader [Best Friends]

Chapter 3

Y/N P.O.V
It's already lunch and I haven't seen Tae or any of the other boys around at all.. I'm assuming they've all just skipped but it's so unlike Tae to skip school. I was walking towards the cafeteria but stopped when I heard a group of girls talking about Tae.
"Have you seen Taehyung? I've heard that he's missing school because of his music video." Well that puts me at rest, he could've at least let me know that he had to finish his MV for BTS.
"Yea but I also heard he has a girlfriend and she's going to be in his video, so he's skipping school with her!" Now that's news to me.. I didn't know Tae had a girlfriend. I'm going to stop by Big Hit today and put these rumours to rest, hopefully he will have the decency to tell his best friend the truth.

As soon as school finished I rushed out of school with Areum to Big Hit, hoping to get some answers.
"Y/N you okay? You seem really mad." Areum asked. Yes. I am mad. I'm mad at Tae for hiding things, then again I don't have much of a right; I'm not his girlfriend unfortunately.
"Do I seem mad? No no I'm not mad, just.. upset!" I stormed into the glass building and walked towards the receptionist.
"Hi, may I help you ladies?" She politely asked.
"Yes, I'm looking for Kim Taehyung? I'm his best friend." I smiled softly at her. However, she frowned and glanced at me confused.
"I'm sorry, I was not made aware of Kim Taehyung's best friend? Taehyung has only made me aware of Jessica.."
My heart stopped. Jessica..? Who in the world is that and why is she all of a sudden his best friend.
"Uh.. Well is it possible to speak to Tae? He has to catch up on school work." I pleaded. I need answers now. The receptionist nodded and led me towards the recording studio where Tae was located. Areum followed behind me and she had a look of fear on her face. I stormed into the studio and found Tae sitting with the boys eating. Tae turned and his eyes widened, the boys stood up and bowed while smiling. I didn't smile back.
"Kim Taehyung, you have some explaining to do." He laughed nervously and scratched the back of his neck, and nodded.
"Hey Y/N! Fancy seeing you here.." The boys laughed nervously along with him, while I glared at all of them.
"Do I seem amused by this? Am I laughing in any shape or form?" The room became silent, I turned to Tae and grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the room, slamming the door shut.

"Y/N what's wrong?" I cannot believe he is asking me what's wrong, as if he has no clue what he has done. He looks at me confused and opens his mouth to continue, but was interrupted by a black haired girl running up to him; embracing him in her arms. My heart shattered at that moment. Is this Jessica? The girl I had no idea about?

"Tae baby! I've missed you!" She giggled while hugging him. I clenched my teeth together to stop myself from yelling at her. Taehyung looked down at her and smiled sweetly at her, before patting her on the head.

"I saw you an hour ago! I'm busy right now though, I'll join you in a minute Jessica." She looked up at him and nodded before running into the recording studio. She completely ignored me, I clearly must not exist or something.

"So, you going to explain why you weren't in school? Or why you didn't pick up my calls or reply to my texts? Oh also, are you going to explain who Jessica your new 'best friend' is? Am I going to get any answers from you?" I yelled out in frustration. I love him so much, but he's hiding something from me and I need answers.

"I'm sorry.. I was busy recording for my music video, Y/N you know how much music means to me and this is my dream! I didn't pick up because I was too busy and I didn't have time to reply to any of your texts." I knew this was his dream, more of the reason to why I'm not absolutely fuming at him, he could at least have the decency to text me before he started or something.

"I know that this is your dream Tae.. And I'm happy for you, but you could've let me know before you started.. I was worried sick! Also I haven't received an answer as to who that girl is." Taehyung looked angry, but all of a sudden his face became soft and he smiled at the mention of the girl. Ouch. I could already tell he really liked her.

"Jessica is... My girlfriend and I guess best friend.. I met her 2 months ago and we've been dating for 3 weeks." My whole world stopped. I can deal with a girlfriend, although it may be painful; I can manage; but a new best friend..? I was just removed from the picture as his best friend. I breathed in deeply to control the tears.

"Your.. Best friend? What about me Tae? The girl you have known your entire life! Who has cared for you, your entire life! What about her! Am I nothing to you now? Just another girl who you know?!" I could feel the tears building up and I was close to a mental breakdown. "Taehyung, you cannot be serious about her being your 'best friend.' I can deal with a girlfriend but Tae. I am your best friend.. Right?" Taehyung looked at me sadly, and shook his head.
"No... Jessica is my best friend. I love her. I'm thankful for everything Y/N but Jessica is everything to me." That was the final blow. I broke down crying and collapsed to the floor crying. The boy I have been in love with for so long has just told me I am nothing compared to her. I had been on the floor crying for about a minute before I heard Taehyung sigh and mumble a sorry before walking into the recording studio again. He just left me here to cry my soul away. I could hear Areum shouting at me from down the hall, as she ran towards me and hugged me. It was as if she was trying to glue me back together; it wasn't very successful.

"Come on Y/N.. Lets go home." I stood up slowly and looked into the recording studio and saw Jessica sitting on Taehyungs lap, laughing together. Jimin was sitting beside them looking at them smiling before turning and laying his eyes on me. Jimin's eyes widened and mouthed 'sorry' before nodding at me and looking away. As if that will fix anything Jimin. I walked out of the glass building and headed home, I could only think of the memories I had in the past with Tae and how it all disappeared in the matter of seconds.

I love you Taehyung, but you will never feel the same in a million years. I have come to terms with that. I accept that, but for you to throw away everything. Was I not a good best friend?
