What Am I To You? I BTS K.T.H

Part 10

Taehyung's POV

"Jiyeon, who do you choose?"

She looks at me with sadness in her eyes. I could tell she really wanted to go with Jimin. I wasn't going to let that happen.

Jiyeon is mine.

"Taehyung..." Jiyeon softly says with her angelic voice, "You are really important to me, but-" before she finished I harshly pulled her into my arms and embraced her tightly.

In the corner of my eyes I could see Jimin's blood boiling, his fist were clenched tightly and he glared coldly at me. Just before anything else could happen, Hee Rin pulled Jimin out of the room. I watch them leave as Jiyeon stoods still in my arms.

After the door closes Jiyeon immediately pulls away. "Why did you do that?" she questions me.

Tae.. Breathe in... Breathe out...

"I love you." I blurt out.

Her mouth hangs open, "Well, as a best friend right?" she quickly replies.

"No. I love you. And I want you to be my girlfriend." I say.

"I-I- don't know w-what t-to say." she stutters.

"Stay here." I say. I leave the room and close the door behind me. I sprint to the cafeteria to get some drinks for Jiyeon and I.

Hee Rin's POV

I pull Jimin out of the room and shut the door. I don't say anything but keep dragging him until we reach the rooftop.

"Why did you bring me up here?" He says.

"Jimin... it's a long story but I guess I gotta explain."

He nods his head and signals me to continue.

"Taehyung, Jiyeon and I have been best friends since we were kids. I'm also Taehyung's cousin. I just want to let you know that... Jiyeon likes Taehyung,"

I can see that Jimin's eyes start to water. I pat his back and continue.

"And Taehyung likes her back. I know it may be hard for you to take that all in at once, but everybody will experience some kind of pain in life."

A tear trickles down his cheek. He covers his face and shyly says, "Don't look at me, I don't look manly at the moment since I'm crying."

Cute.

I pat him on the back. "Anyways," I say, "Do you have any questions?"

I slowly looks up and looks straight into my eyes.

"Do you know why Jiyeon has all those bruises and scratches?"

I gulp, and start to tear up as well.

"Jiyeon has been enduring pain for the last three years... Just for Taehyung."

He listens closely.

"And," I sniff up a tear, "She told me not to tell anyone so that she wouldn't look like a fool. She really never wanted anyone to see. And every time this happened to her," I burst into tears but quickly recover. "It breaks my heart to see her in pain like this, just for Taehyung. And Taehyung hasn't really done anything for her, which, at the same time, makes me hate him." Tears start pouring down my face.

Just in a split second Jimin embraces me and stokes my hair slowly, "It's ok," I wrapped my arms around him as well, "Everything will be fine." he whispers.

Jiyeon's POV

I patiently wait in the infirmary until Taehyung comes back.

Taehyung loves me?

"No. I love you. And I want you to be my girlfriend."

I squirm and blush just thinking about what Taehyung said. I give myself a quick pinch to see if I was really dreaming.

Ouch, ok, not a dream

The door swings open and Taehyung walks in and closes the door behind him. He hands me a can of juice and sits down next to me.

Awkward silence.

Taehyung's POV

Jiyeon then breaks the silence, "So Taehyung, you never really liked Naeun."

"Well, no not really. I was just lying because you pestered me to tell you who I liked so much. And I couldn't just tell my best friend that I wanted her to be my  girlfriend." I say.

She lets out a cute chuckle.

It's been a while since I've seen her smile.

Suddenly her face returns back to being sullen.

"What's wrong?" I say.

"I feel really bad for Jimin, he asked me out and-" I cut her off and peck her lips.

She stops talking and sits their frozen.

"Yah," I say, "Don't you dare talk about another man in front of your boyfriend!"

She scoffs, "Boyfriend? Who said you're my boyfriend?"

She raises an eyebrow.

"I like you, you like me. Aren't we already dating by now?" I say with a smirk.

She rolls her eyes, "How do you know whether I like you or not? I was considering whether I should date Jimin." She says with a sweet and innocent smile.

"Yah~," I say with a pout, "Don't go out with Jimin. You are mine."

Her cheeks darken and turn redder after I say that.

"Oh, and Hee Rin told me that you liked me."

"What!" She shouts.

"Aish, that girl Hee Rin, I told her to keep it a secret." Jiyeon mumbles under her breathe.

I kiss her again. This time she leans in closer.

When we pull away she blushes and shyly says, "I guess you are my boyfriend now."

I show my signature rectangular box smile and hug her tightly. She hugs me back as well.

We sit there hugging each other for quite a while. Best moment ever.

"By the way," I say, "I'm really sorry I didn't notice you were alway hurt."

She stays silent while still in my arms.

"How did you get hurt?"

"Well, I'm pretty sure you saw... I got beat up."

I pull away and stroke Jiyeon's cheek and brush against the scar on her cheekbone.

"I'm so sorry... I'll protect you next time." I pull her closer and put her head against my chest and lay my head on her head.

"I'm so sorry Jiyeon." I whisper.
