34: Paired Up With You

Irene's POV

"Get out." I heard him say sternly. I turned around slowly because honestly, I was scared. I have never heard him speak so seriously before.

When I turned around, I saw Taehyung, with his towel wrapped around his waist, exposing his toned abs. His body was still wet telling me he rushed out of the shower. I stood their with my mouth hung open, admiring him. His slightly tussled, wet hair, broad chest, his attractive abdominal. Everything.

He cleared his throat.

"What do you want?" He asked me with his arms crossed. His face was blank. I couldn't read what he was feeling or thinking. I still had hoped that he would be trying to hide his smile to the fact I was totally checking him out a while ago.

Probably thinking, 'That's what you get for playing with me. I'm for your eyes only. No touching'.

"I'm just here to grab my things." I said a little quietly.

"Make it quick. You have one minute." He said, turning around to head back to the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.

I let out a big sigh, trying to figure out how I'm going to drag 2 big suitcases and 5 heavy boxes in one minute.

I groaned in disappointment. I swear he's laughing his ass off  in the washroom right now. I spent some time trying to figure out how I was going to do this.

Should I call Jungkook, or not?

Nahh.

I was about to drag both of my suitcases out of the room, when Taehyung stormed out of the washroom.

"Times up." He said grabbing my things and harshly throwing the boxes into the hallway.

"Yah! That was like 30 seconds!" I don't know where I got the courage to scream at him, but I did.

"Yeah? Well when I counted, it was a minute, so get out." He said grabbing my arm to shove me out of his room, but I didn't move.

"Yah, get out." He said, trying to make me move.

"What's your problem?"

"What?" He said confused at my sudden question.

"What is your problem? I have apologized to you so many times Tae. I pranked you because I wanted to play with you too. I never meant to hurt you. Why don't you understand?" I said with tears forming in my eyes. At this point I'm pretty sure everyone downstairs can hear us arguing.

"Do you know how I felt when you did that? I felt like my world was going to end. The person I didn't want to lose the most slipped out of my hands like sand. No matter how tight I want to hold you, you still slip away in between my fingers. I can't stand to even think about what would happen if you actually didn't remind me." He said frustrated.

He took a second to calm himself down.

"Look Irene, whatever we had before. It's over. I can't handle these fights, pranks, and shit between us whenever we're together. Ever since we met, my life has only been going downhill. So just stay away from me."

I was shocked at his words. How can he blame me for his life going downhill? We've never had major fights like this before either. He wants to end US... like this.

"Kim Taehyung, listen. If you can't take the blame for your own immature actions, let me help you. It was YOU who murdered MY father, yet I gave up my luxurious life FOR YOU. It was you who was desperate to see your father again, so I was a slut only FOR YOU. That's why your father is currently recovering in the hospital. It was your fault for loving me too much, you always felt the need to protect me. It was ALL YOU." I said practically yelling.

I calmed myself a bit.

"Kim Taehyung... I hate you."

I said leaving him silent, in tears, confused and regretful. I got my suitcases and stormed off to Yeri's room and laying down on her bed, crying myself to sleep. I'll have no choice but to face him at school tomorrow.

Next Morning

I woke up and headed to the bathroom only to see my bloodshot eyes from all the crying over the fight Taehyung and I had.

After I freshened up and wore my uniform, I slowly opened the door. I really didn't want to run into Taehyung right now.

It's worse enough that I have to deal with him in school.

I didn't see anyone so I confidently came out of Yeri's room. I quietly walked downstairs into the kitchen to see Taeyeon Omma, Yeri and Jungkook eating breakfast. Once they saw me in the kitchen, they all stiffened their posture.

"Good morning Unnie!" Yeri said awkwardly, but I could tell she was trying to comfort me.

Everyone was silent after that and it was making me feel worse than before.

"Guys, I'm fine."

They all let out deep breaths.

"Thank god I don't have to worry about the awkwardness between you and Taehyung." Omma said happily.

I chuckled, not meaning it though. I did it to bring a smile on their faces.

"Are you okay Noona?" Jungkook asked, hoping he wouldn't make me emotional.

"Yeah, I'm fine. What about you? How did you sleep?"

"Not very well." He said. "I was worried about things between you and ..." He trailed off as he didn't want to bring up the topic again.

"Umm, by the way, where is Taehyung?" I asked just to make sure I know how to avoid him.

"Oppa already left for school Unnie. I think you could still catch up to him." She said with a smirk.

"Haha, very funny, but I have no such intentions."

She then looked over to Omma and Jungkook.

"Well I tried getting them back together. Your turn."

Omma and Jungkook then cleared their throats to get rid of the awkwardness in the environment.

"Noona, let's go to school." He said abruptly. He probably couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere either. Cute.

AT SCHOOL

It was homeroom now, and that means I have to face my biggest tragedy, Taehyung.

Luckily I sat beside Wendy. Unfortunately, the tragedy was sitting right behind me.

Our teacher walked in, looking happier than ever.

"Good morning class."

"Good morning Mr. Seo."

"I have good news. All of the graduating classes will be going on a camping trip! This trip will test out your survival. You will be paired up with someone. Together you will have to cook together, feed each other and sleep in the same tent. It will only be you two in a certain amount of space as the rest of your classmates will be spread out around the island, acres away from each other.Get it? Any questions?"

"When and where?" Suga asked. I was curious too.

"We're going to be on one of the many untouched and abandoned islands in Fiji. We'll be taking off tomorrow."

"WHAT?!"  The whole class screamed.

"This is the first task for your survival. Only pack what you need. You should be excited to go to an exotic and tropical place like Fiji."

"True." The whole class said.

"So if that is it for questions, I'll be paring you off now." Mr. Seo began.

I was praying to get either Joy, Wendy or Seulgi to be my partner but knowing my fucked up luck...

"Kang Seulgi and Park Jimin."

"Wendy Son and Min Yoongi."

"Bae Joohyun and...

Kim Taehyung"
