ANGELIC. [KimTaehyung]

e - cruelty

I tapped the glass panel of my watch anxiously, checking to see if the hands were positioned wrong.

She was supposed to leave her house minutes ago for class.

Had she overslept? Was she in trouble?

From across the seat of my car I looked at my phone. Maybe I should call her?

The thought was broken when I heard laughter coming in the other direction.

Accompanied by the same guy who was in the cafe the other day, Mila walked down the stairs of her porch.

His hand was intertwined with hers, a sign of defeat for me. If I didn't feel my heart beating in my chest I would be sure I was dead.

My eyes filled with rageful tears as I desperately hit the steering wheel of my car. Agonizing tears left my eyes as I leaned back in the car seat watching her walk away from me with him. I pulled at my hair trying to calm everything within me.

Baby, why must you hurt me like this?

"Taehyung you've been awfully quiet."

I shifted from my sunken position, looking up at Mila. Her cheerful gaze told me everything. That man, that bastard, he was making her happy. She had spoken to me so little this week. I felt alone again.

"Who is he?" I croaked tiredly.

"Have you been crying?" She asked worriedly, caressing my cheek.

"Who is he." I spoke more aggressively, pushing her away.

"Who? Who are you talking about Taehyung? I don't know what you mean?" She asked anxiously.

"That guy. The one who was at your house this morning." Her expression changed, a sudden shift I wasn't expecting.

"Why where you at my house this morning?" He eyebrows came together, her eyes held suspicion.

"That's not what I was fucking asking, don't evade my question, Mila." I grabbed her wrist.

"His name is Jimin. He's in my reading class. It's not what it seems." Her eyes trailed to the burning grasp I held over her wrist.

"You're hurting me." My lips twisted into a smile as tears formed in her eyes. My thumb swiped across one of her cascading tears.

"You hurt me worse."
