딸기 | Kim Taehyung

eight

A week has passed, Jaebum joined Cho's table, however, it came with a cost, the lose of Taehyung.

Cho filled her void with Jaebum.

"Jaebum........... stop", Cho states as Jaebum playfully pokes her.

In response Cho pushes Jaebum's chest, looking into the distance at Taehyung, who was sitting at the table with his friend's, watching the situation play out.

Taehyung aimlessly plays with the food on his tray, not paying attention to the conversation going on next to him. His gaze lands on Cho, as it does every day.

Jealously boils up inside him as he watches the interactions between Cho and Jaebum.

Silence overtakes the table as Taehyung slams his hands on the flat surface. His body moves before his mind can process it, he makes his way to the table.

"Hey", Taehyung bluntly states.

"Hey," Cho responds, as a twinkle in her eyes suddenly appears.

"I came here to talk to Yuri".

The smile that had been on her face immediately drops and she falls silent.

"What can I do for you, Taehyung", Yuri asks, looking straight in the eyes of Cho.

"We should hang out sometime, I had fun last time", Taehyung replies, lying through his teeth.

"Oh, yeah sure", Yuri stutters as pink fills her cheeks.

"Oh wow that's cool, I was just going to ask Jaebum if he wanted to do anything after school", Cho interjects, grabbing Jaebum's forearm.

"Uh yeah, sure", Jaebum smiles in response.

Jaebum and Cho walk down the sidewalk after school, side by side.

"Cho....... ", Jaebum states as he stops in his tracks.

"What's up"?

"I wanted to ask you a question".

"Ask away".

"Are you using me to get back at Taehyung, to hurt him"?

"Uh...."

"Let me finish, if you're using me, I want out, I don't want to be a pawn in your game. You're not just hurting Taehyung, I have feelings, too. I don't have the time to get hurt. So answer this question, are you using me"?

"No..... ".

Before Jaebum could retort, Cho places both hands on his cheeks, pressing her lips against his.

They pull apart, both with rosy cheeks.

"You um.... Have something right there", Cho states as she rubs her thumb against the side of Jaebum's lips, wiping away her lip gloss.

Jaebum, taken aback and flustered, subconsciously licks his lips.

"Your lips tasted like strawberries", Jaebum blurts, his face reddening in response.

(A/N: Sorry for the trashy chapter, I just wanted to get something out for you guys)
