Fake Love. | Kim Taehyung

36

I am in love with V.

These past few weeks he has been one of the best boyfriends I've ever gotten. Well I mean he's my first boyfriend.. But the point is there.

The fact that he practically saved me countless times, I just can't help but be grateful. He was there when I had no one and he even took me in.

I know he cheated on me well twice but look at him now. If I didn't forgive him back then I would have lost the chance to see him change for the better. He's obviously a changed man.

My last school day in high school has come and I can't believe it...I'm finally graduating.

"V! Can you hurry you lazy ass down the stairs!! We're going to be late!" I shout as I wait impatiently by the stairs looking up. Ugh! of all days he just had to be late today...Actually he's late everyday.

"Then we'll make an entrance" he says as goes down slowly in his robe and white dress shirt. Why does he look good in everything?

"Ye-yeah. Okay I can't keep it in but you look great" I blurted out. He smirks back 

"Want to say the same to you but you look...awful" I glare back. He laughed as he patted my head gently "Just kidding, you look beautiful as always" 

He reached for my hand and we both headed towards school.

I held V's hand as we look towards the decorated stage in front of us. The whole place was packed with proud parents and students who were moving on to their next chapter in life. One of those students is me.

My sweaty palms were trembling as I walk up the stage. Years of hard work and sleepless nights have paid off since I graduated as a valedictorian. As I finally reach the microphone, I scanned the whole room to see everyone staring back at me. I gulped as I held the paper in my hands that I have been rereading over and over again. I went near the microphone but somehow I just had a mental block. What was I supposed to say?

"Uh..." I stutter out loud and continuously wipe my hands on my robe. I was nervous.

Suddenly, a loud voice emerged and it echoed out the whole room. "WOOOO! HWAITING!" Someone shouted out loud which startled me a little bit. I look back up to see V clapping his hands off and shouting non stop. Soon after, Channie followed and then V's friends...and soon the whole audience cheered for me. I smile back at V and took a deep breath as I began my speech.

-derek-

I ended my speech with a thank you and I bowed. Are you proud of me dad? Wherever you are... And my old family? You just lost yourself a princess right here.

When I finished, I wasn't expecting anything special but then again somebody surprised me once again. V stood up and started running towards me. My eyes widened but before I can say anything against it, he crashed his body into mine and hugged me tightly, securing me in his arms.

He nuzzled his head into my neck and softly whispered "congratulations" I looked at him and smiled once more. I kissed him on the cheek

On stage.

Everyone started shouting and cheering both of us on. Others would shout "YIEEEEE" or like "WOOOO" we both chuckle at their reactions til V raised my arm up and using his other hand pointed at me. He shouted out to all of them "YOUR VALEDICTORIAN EVERYONE"

Well get you a man who supports you just as much as V supporting me right now.

I grin as the principal shooed the both of us off the stage since we were the reason why there was so much noise. Hey can't blame us since the parents were on it too.

We both laughed as we got off stage since the whole audience was chaotic now. As we both went down the stairs, V wrapped his arms around my shoulders. He whispered into my ear "I'm so proud of you" I giggled as I pecked his cheeks "I'm proud of you too...salutatorian". He rolled his on the fact he was second and I was first.

"Y'know what they say...second is the best" I glared at him in a joking way. "Sure V. Whatever floats your boat"

-derek-

The long ceremony was finally over. I didn't really know what to feel that time actually...I feel happy because I can finally move on to another chapter of my life but I feel sad as well. I won't get to see my teachers, classmates, friends, basically the whole school where I studied my butt off for like over 10 years. 

As much as I hate to admit it, I'll miss school. I still don't like it but I'll miss it. Just like an old bed, you had so many memories with it but it makes your back ache every night...Actually

nah

I hate it. 

I hug V as we throw our hats in the air as a symbol of the year ending. Finally. He smiled as he snuggled his face on my neck which made me giggle a little bit (He had to bend for that since I was small). I stepped back only to be picked up in his arms. 

"After so many years we've been together..." He looked into my eyes as I stare back into his orbs. 

"You're still short" My smile dropped. I hit him playfully on the chest as he laughed at me. I rolled my eyes still in his arms "I'm not short. It's just that everyone is tall" He snickered "Sure" 

He placed me down gently and pecked my small nose "Still love you though" 

He never fails to make my heart beat faster than usual. I'm supposed to be used to it but I can't help it. His sweet acts are too much for me to handle that it's possible for me to scream at any point. Maybe even do a pterodactyl screech with some weird claw hands. That's how I fan girl...Don't judge.

But a familiar voice made me drop it. As I kept hearing the voice that kept calling the both of us, we both turned our heads simultaneously. I recognized that high-pitched voice and well...V does as well. V let go of me and walked towards the person. 

Oh it was Skye.

"HI GUYS!" she smiled as she hugged the both of us. "I missed you guys" 

They both of them laughed but then... That wasn't the voice that was bothering me. I kept hearing someone else's that gave me goose bumps. It wasn't reminding me of a good memory more like...a memory I pushed back into the back of my head that I hope I never relive again. Who is the owner of that voice?

V tapped me lightly which brought me back to my senses. "You alright?" he asked as he looks at me with concern in his eyes. I nodded as I smiled back "I'm good" 

"So.. guys. I'm back for good and I brought a little friend of mine." She jumped a little as she looked behind. As she stepped aside, I saw a face I thought I'd never see again. The same person who was my best friend for years yet betrayed over some cliche. The same person traumatized me and spread my deepest secret to the whole school making me look like a fool. It was her who left me...

"Hi" she says. I look back at her...she was still the same.

She looked at me with an unreadable expression and I did the same as well. 

"Hi...Eunji"
