10 Things I Hate About You. (Kim Taehyung - BTS).

Chapter Eight.

"But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

The darkened sky above the school roared as the rain that was only moments ago a slight drizzle slowly began to thicken. The school was now empty, all the students had dispersed from the rain a long time ago. An empty silence filled the halls as I packed the art pieces into my bag that weren't to be used for my folio before finally working up the courage to brave the cold. My body shivered as the doors blew open, revealing the wicked storm outside, but also the sad and broken figure of a pink-haired boy. My eyes enlarged slightly as I cautiously walked towards him, nervous about why he was waiting out in the cold after days of avoidance and silence. I stood a metre away from him, not speaking a word as I glanced at him with curiosity and rage. Taehyung coughed, breaking the awkward atmosphere but still, I remained silent.

"The sky is starting to fall." He muttered with a slight chuckle causing me to cross my arms over my chest as I narrowed my eyes at him. My bag had slowly started to descend down my arm as I held my glare on him whilst he tried to look at anything but me.

"Your artwork is going to get ruined," Taehyung whispered quietly as I just rolled my eyes, I don't care. I huffed as I allowed my bag to fall completely to the ground, falling near a puddle as the water slowly landed on some of my most recent projects.

"What do you want, Taehyung?" I asked without acknowledging his previous statement, he sighed and ran his fingers threw his hair and lightly tugged on the ends. I tilted my head as he softly gazed at the distance with his lower lip being tugged softly by his teeth, he slowly exhaled and closed his eyes. He really was a beautiful human being. I quickly looked away from him as the blush heated my cheeks, a shiver softly danced down my spine as I heard his sigh once again before bringing my attention back to him.

"I need to make this better before the break. I need to let you know how I feel, how sorry I am. I – I don't want to risk someone stealing your heart whilst we're away." He confessed, a slight blush darkening his cheeks – but could also have been caused by the cold.

"I'm not sure what else there really is to say," I huffed, straightening out my shirt, "You've explained your reasons and I've accepted them. What more do you expect to happen?" My voice was sharp, filled with anger and rage, but if you really focused, you could identify the pain hidden between the words.

"I don't know, for you to forgive me, for you to truly understand how sorry I am..." He sounded broken, desperate, longing for acceptance and forgiveness, "To accept my confession." He finished, his gaze finally meeting my own. The world seemed to stop for a split second, the pain of the past week fading as a small speck of light re-entered the atmosphere, but alas, diming as soon as it lit up.

"This is not some clichéd romance novel where we confess our love for each other in the rain, Taehyung!" I heard my voice echo in harmony with the thunder. My school uniform clung to my body as I attempted to push the hair away from my face, but it stuck to my skin like glue. 

"It could never be like that! You don't understand what love is! You have never understood what care is, you never could! Girls to you are just a toy, someone to be played with! You don't realise the hurt or pain that you inflict, you don't care about the consequences as long as you get to have your fun! It's all you'll ever be, V..." I trailed off, my breath felt short as the pain in my chest continued to ache, the cold wind brushing against my body not helping the struggle I was having. Taehyung flinched at the use of his nickname, an emotion in his eyes as the venom spread further into my voice.

"You know nothing about me, Chun Abela." Taehyung whispered, or at least due to the weather that's how his voice came out. I fought the urge to roll my eyes, but in the end gave into the temptation and added a scoff for emphasis.
