17 - Regret

21 missed calls from: Kookie <3

Hi Tae, can we talk? Call me when you're available. Bye.

Silence.

A minute later, another shrill sound erupts from his phone, and Taehyung doesn't need to look at his phone to know who it is.

Still, he rolls over to grab his phone, listening as the ringing of his phone turns into the monotone voice call voice.

Taehyung unlocks his phone, laying sideways on his bed as he opens the "contacts" app, his finger scrolling through people before he finds him. His finger hovers over his profile hesitantly , before more taps and clicking sounds are heard.

Are you sure you want to block: Kookie <3 ?

Yes | No

Taehyung watches as Jungkook's number disappears from his phone, and sighs.

He still remembers that night at Jin's place. The loud music blaring through speakers, the laughter that could be heard from the 5 boys. How, through the corner of his eyes, he saw Jimin and Jungkook slip off into a seperate room. The confusion in his chest that he felt even though he was hazy, the way his heart started beating faster, louder as he approached the door his friend and his exboyfriend went into.

The crushing emotions of shock and betrayal that Taehyung had felt when he saw his boyfriend, making out with his bestfriend.

He exhales shakily, blinking the tears away.

Don't think about it, he's not worth your time.

After a long while of turning around in his bed, Taehyung gets up to go to school. He contemplates skipping school to avoid seeing Jungkook, but decides not to care about whether he'll see the other or not. He arrives at school, and he walks to his classes, head high and sight straight. He doesn't care about Jungkook anymore. He doesn't care what the other thinks. I don't care about him anymore, He thinks to himself softly, and with that he arrives to his first class and proceeds normally.

At the end of school, Taehyung walks out of his classroom, and could only manage to walk a few steps until he was immediately pushed into a wall.

Taehyung winces, shoulders aching a little, as he glares at the person who had pushed him.

His glare intensifies as Jungkook's face comes into focus.

Jungkook, breathless (probably from running across campus), staring into Taehyung's eyes as if his life depended on it.

Stop it, you don't care about him anymore.

"What do you want?" Taehyung practically spits, pushing Jungkook back so he has space.

"Tae, I-" Jungkook starts, but the older lets out an exasperated sigh and starts to walk away. "Wait, Tae-"

"I don't want to hear your excuses, Jungkook."

Jungkook grabs his wrist, desperately trying to make him stay, but he wrenches out of his grasp.

"Please, I didn't-"

"Why don't you save it for Jimin? After all, you like him enough to cheat on your boyfriend, right?"

He thinks he hears Jungkook hiccup, he thinks he hears his name again, and a desperate call for him to turn back.

But he doesn't.

In his mind, he remembers all the good memories he had with Jungkook, the soft smiles and the cheesy jokes. The way he felt when they first confessed to each other. He walks away, and he lets all those memories go.
