apartment + kth

t-wentytwo

it was a monday morning, and i stepped out of my unit to go to the carpark, ready for taehyung to drive me to work as it had been routine for almost the past week. i saw him stumble from out of his apartment and rush to the elevator when a sleek red car drove by the front entrance. a petite woman got out and i recognised it as the same girl from yesterday. 

"she must have a good job." i looked at the car up and down, taking note of her gucci purse and expensive looking clothes. "she must be a doctor or something at seoul hospital." i remarked, slightly jealous. i stood by taehyung's car until i saw him exit the elevator and greet and the girl. he swung his arm around her shoulder and i could feel the heat inside of me rising. he took a quick glance at me, and continued to smile with 'yun hee' until they both got into her car.

i made my way to the bus stop.

i didn't deny the fact taehyung was using her to make me jealous, but i couldn't be mad because i was doing the exact same thing and there was so much guilt rising inside of me.

the day went slowly, and i didn't see taehyung much the entire day. minji and hoseok had no more interest in our relationship and i don't think tae and i were either. should i just tell minji?

i sat trying to sort out the many emotions in my mind and then saw taehyung walking with the hospital's chairman. 

"eh? what is he doing with the chairman." i decided to tail behind as their conversation seemed serious and worth eavesdropping on.

"i see you've become close with..." the chairman said, the hospital sounds making it hard to hear the conversation.

"yes i have...drove me to work.." i kept missing parts of their chat as i hopelessly tried to hide behind pillars and dodge patient as they walked through the hospital. 'drove me to work?' are they talking about yun hee?

"am i right that this is your last week here?.." my mind changed topics. 

"yes, i transfer back next monday." they turned a corner and i lost hearing of their talk. i quickly scurried back to see them enter an elevator.

"i really do hope your relationship continues." at that moment, the doors closed and taehyung once again saw me peeking from behind a wall and was about to say something before i pulled back and ran away humiliated. 

is she related to the hospital's chairman? i recalled everything from her luxury goods to how she drove him to work and the nervous face taehyung pulled when he was walking with the chairman as if he were talking to his future father-in-law and i couldn't help but feel like i was pushed away and left in a corner. what am i supposed to do now? i thought it over and over and thought that the mature thing to do was to talk to him about it and talk about what we should do. but, i just couldn't bring myself to face him properly. i burried my head in my folded arms as i rested in the staff lounge. 

"you seem out of it." minji said observing me.

"took you a while." i bickered, feeling so anxious about everything.

"did you and taehyung break up?" we didn't break up, but in a way, we kind of did. she picked things up so easily. i wanted to tell her everything so badly. i lifted my head to look at her in the eyes.

"are you going to be mad at me if i tell you what happened?"

"when am i not mad at you anyways?" she gave a smile and i thanked the heavens for giving me such a friend.

i spilled out everything. from how we weren't really dating, to how we were faking and how hoseok caught me in taehyung's apartment, to how i met changwook when i got kidnapped and now how taehyung was dating some rich chick- it felt so good that i was able to tell her everything i had been storing up for so long and it felt like a huge wait lifted off my chest. 

"im sorry you didn't even know half of this."

"dang, if you went through all of that just to see hoseok in a dress, i would've put more effore so i could see him in a dress too. im so sad i missed out."

i let out a small chuckle until i was engulfed in a warm hug.

"i knew something was up from the first day you told me you were dating. you know, i could hear it when you were bickering and whispering to eachother while you hugged and stuff. i may be dumb, but i ain't deaf." she let out a laugh that made me smile aswell.

"you're not dumb minji." i cupped her cheeks.

"sure, and you know what, you're too good for taehyung anyways. you're the one who always used to rant about how he was so up himself in school right? who cares if he found someone else, he just wants to be related to the chairman so he can become a higher rank in the hospital."

"that's true. what do i do about chang wook though?"

she put her hands on my shoulders. "do you like him." she asked in the most serious tone.

"do i?" i said, unsure.

"you're going on a 'date' with him on wednesday right?" i nodded. "well, we'll figure it out on wednesday. for now, just try not to talk to taehyung. that should be easy right?"

"well..." i sulked inside a bit, "but that means i have to catch the bus home now. she gave me a minor beating and then insisted we get back to work even though i sulked and said no and then gave me another beating.

the day came to an end, and i caught the bus home entering my apartment exhausted. i ate dinner and then showered leaving the rest of the night for me to think and think. 

taehyung and yun hee are being matched by her dad, the chairman. taehyung is avoiding me because he wants the chairman to like him. chang wook wants to date me, and we are going out on a date but i think i still like taehyung.

i finally cleared out the entire situation.

wait,

the last part.

i still like taehyung? huh?

 i kicked my sheets in anger as i cleared my thoughts again and redid my summary of what was happening.

taehyung. likes. rich girl with connections. taehyung, pretends to not know me, to also get connections. taehyung is trying to make me jealous. chang wook likes me. i think i like changwook.

i made it succinct and clear to myself so i could help my brain intake everything;

but 

thats not 

right either..
