Just Friends

I finally felt satisfied knowing that Taehyung felt the same way about me, but he still wasn't my boyfriend.

My soul was content knowing I had Taehyung, but my body was aching for his touch more than ever.

All of a sudden, Taehyung quickly shook his hair over his forehead and put his arm playfully over my shoulders. He was now grinning at me, flashing his teeth and had wiped his face with his blazer sleeve.

It was as though what just happened should never be spoken about, just understood. He wanted to forget about how weak he was only moments ago.

"Jasmine I think it's time we took you home, it's only Monday. There's still the WHOLE week of school ahead! Yay, so much fun!" Taehyung was pretending to squeal in excitement.

As I chuckled at him, a thought crossed my mind.

Why did Taehyung allow that cow, Sooyoung to be so friendly with him? Tomorrow, she'd be just as clingy- they have to do a whole project together!

Just as I was about to question him, Eonni came rushing to us, cupping her mouth with one hand.

"Oh my gosh, I think I'm actually going to die from joy. That was by far the cutest thing I've ever seen! Who would've known you foetuses loved each other so much?"

Eonni had seen everything, which was a good thing as it saved me a lot of explaining. But, she brought back what Taehyung was trying to quickly move on from.

I looked over at Taehyung. His face was tinted red as he was childishly smiling, and he met my eye. It was no longer awkward, nor did I blush as much, but I felt strange impulses running through my muscles.

"Ya, Eonni, leave it. So what's the plan now? Are you going to Seoul?" I was trying to change the subject.

Eonni curved her mouth at both of us in a funny way as she sat down on a waiting bench outside the train station. The sun was still shining bright and I checked my watch, it was nearly 6pm.

"Well, there is good news and bad news. The good news is I won't have to go to Seoul until next week! But the bad news is that once I do go, I won't be back until the summer."

Me and Taehyung exchanged concerned looks as we began interrogating Eonni together.

"What the hell? Why? What's going on?" We both said the exact same thing at the same time.

Eonni laughed at us, "Chill out! I see why you two are made for each other. And nothing is finalised yet, but when I land in Seoul, I promise to call you guys and tell you everything. Aish, now don't ask any more questions and get in the car."

Just as Taehyung was saying goodbye, Eonni stopped him.

"And where do you think you're going, Mr Hero? Get in, I'll drop you home, we're going that way anyway."

We all sat in the car and this time we were conversing, laughing and joking. Well, it was mainly Eonni telling us stories that we would laugh at, but the atmosphere was better than ever.

As we stopped outside Taehyung's house, Eonni wanted to come inside to meet his Mum, but Taehyung firmly stopped her from doing so, telling us his stepdad didn't like visitors around. Taehyung's home life was broken and it upset me a lot, but I would make sure that I'd always be here if he ever wanted to share anything.

"Well tell her that we miss her and she should come and visit us some time! Halmeouni had been asking about her for a good couple of years, you know. Anyway, I'll see you around Taehyung." Eonni waved to him as he was about to get out of the car.
