Your Girlfriend 《KTH》✓

08. Upside Down

⠀
⠀
⠀
Fame changes people.
⠀
⠀
You never believe that phrase until it happened around you, to the most important person in your life.
⠀
⠀
No, you never -- not even once -- did you think he would change because of something like 'fame'. Not even once.
⠀
⠀
But now, you need to think about it.
⠀
⠀
Taehyung has always been a sweet and caring boyfriend. Yes, he's a very famous idol right now along with his group, BTS. Everyone knows them.
⠀
⠀
Every girl wants him.
⠀
⠀
Everyone screams for him.
⠀
⠀
And you know you were beyond lucky to be able to call him yours. But, something makes you doubt him lately.
⠀
⠀
Everything started back after his Valentine surprise. That day, when he pulled a surprise for you, it was sweet and beautiful. Spending time with him is also so meaningful for you.
⠀
⠀
Then when he sent you home, you were asking him if he wanna stay for awhile, he was about to answer when a message interrupt him.
⠀
⠀
After checking the messages, you can tell he was trying hard not grin. You know him well enough to understand his expression s easily.
⠀
⠀
"I'm sorry baby bear, but I have to go."
⠀
⠀
Wow, that's new for you. Back then, he is the one who insists to stay with you for awhile. Even only for 5 minutes, he will stay.
⠀
⠀
"Sure, you must be busy. Take care, honey bear." you shrug it off before seeing him turn his back on you and walking while paying attention to his phone.
⠀
⠀
That's odd.
⠀
⠀
Taehyung isn't that kind of guy, but you decided to shrug it off. It might be just your feelings.
⠀
⠀
Then, the next time you met him was in his concert in Seoul. It was amazing and everything is so beautiful. But again, something stuck in your mind.
⠀
⠀
It was when you were on the backstage with him and the boys who were preparing for the concert. Suddenly, you have the urge to use the toilet, so you excused yourself and went for your business.
⠀
⠀
Then, when you came back, you heard a conversation that you wish you hadn't heard.
⠀
⠀
"Hyung, do you know the schedule for our Tour in Japan?" it's from Taehyung.
⠀
⠀
You stopped on your track, not trying to eavesdrop, but that's exactly what you're doing.
⠀
⠀
"Nothing confirmed yet, but I heard that there will be lots of cities this time." Namjoon replied.
⠀
⠀
"Aish, what took them so long? Keiko was asking me about the schedule!" Taehyung replied, sounding annoyed.
⠀
⠀
'Keiko? Who?'
⠀
⠀
You hesitated to come in to the scene, but before you decide, a voice stopped your movement again.
⠀
⠀
"Ah, Keiko.. that rich fangirl of yours. You're texting with her now?"
⠀
⠀
"She's so lovely and pretty. She even got you the gucci wristwatch. I envy Taehyung!"
⠀
⠀
"She knows I love Gucci a lot. I'm grateful for her amazing gifts though." He said and then you decided to open the door, step in and purposely smile at him.
⠀
⠀
He looked surprised but smile anyway.
⠀
⠀
"You're here."
⠀
⠀
Since that day, you haven't manage to meet him. He has been so busy with his new song promotion, reality shows, music show, fansign, and practice for his upcoming world tour.
⠀
⠀
Even though he was still texting you regularly, you can't help but wonder about that girl. No matter how hard you tried to shrug those thoughts away, you just can't stop wondering, 'Who is that fangirl to him?'
⠀
⠀
'Honey bear, it's been awhile since we met. I miss you.' One night, you sent a text to him.
⠀
⠀
You fell asleep, waiting, but only got a reply the next morning.
⠀
⠀
'I'm sorry baby bear, schedule is being so tight right now. I'll look for you when I got some space to breathe.' Received in 3.08 AM.
⠀
⠀
You felt bad out of sudden. Why did you have to doubt and have bad thoughts about him. He will never cheat on you, right?
⠀
⠀
With all trust you've build so hard, you decided to trust him and push away those negative thoughts.
⠀
⠀
'I'm sorry to whine to you. I just miss you too much! Take care, honey bear. Don't practice too much," you replied and continued on your daily routine.
⠀
⠀
Later that day, you got extra bonus from your boss for your hardwork on your big project. You were so happy and you went to the mall after work.
⠀
⠀
You already have something in mind, you want to buy something for Taehyung.
⠀
⠀
"Taehyung, I'm sorry if I called but I just wanna say, remember the Gucci slipper you showed me two weeks ago?" You called him, excited.
⠀
⠀
"Umm, yeah. Why? Where are you now?"
⠀
⠀
"I'm gonna buy it for you now!"
⠀
⠀
"Umm, Yoonji. You really don't have to, it's expensive and I al-"
⠀
⠀
"That's okay! I got bonus today an -"
⠀
⠀
"I already have it, Yoonji." He whispered and your mind stopped working for awhile.
⠀
⠀
"Uhh, well... how about the red sweatshirt, you mentioned that you lik-"
⠀
⠀
"I have that one too."
⠀
⠀
"Oh you know what I saw just now, the bomber jacket! Do y-"
⠀
⠀
"That one too..."
⠀
⠀
"The wristwatch is s-"
⠀
⠀
"Yoonji...."
⠀
⠀
"...." you took a deep sigh while closing your eyes before you reply him, "So, did you buy all of those already? You really spoil yourself too much, huh?" you faked a laugh, but it felt bitter for you.
⠀
⠀
"No... it's a gift, from a fan." Oh.
⠀
⠀
"Is there anything you want beside Gucci? You know there are a lot of branded stuffs here, and-"
⠀
⠀
"Aish, Yoonji. I only like Gucci. Like nothing matters besides that. Gucci is cool, others are no-no." Again, he cut you off.
⠀
⠀
"I guess, you won't need anything from me then.." you faked a smile as you walked out from that store, broken-heartedly.
⠀
⠀
"You don't need to worry about me. I'm doing fine, okay? I'll hung up now. Oh, and I'll be busy tonight for practice, don't wait for me, okay? Take care on your way back." He said and hung up even before you managed to reply.
⠀
⠀
You closed your eyes tried to think properly of what happened just now. Why did your conversation with him sounded so bitter?
⠀
⠀
"Eonnie, I'm going out for dinner tonight with Jungkook. Do you want anything?" Haneul asked you as soon as you arrived home, but before you managed to answer, "ah, you must be having a dinner with Taehyung oppa too, right?" she smirked but it immediately faded away when she saw your expression. "What's wrong?"
⠀
⠀
"Nothing. Have fun then. I'm gonna go rest, Han. Please take the key with you. I think I'm going to sleep after bath." you replied and left her, heading to your bedroom.
⠀
⠀
"But eonnie, Taehyung oppa..." she didn't manage to finish her statement because you already closed your bedroom door.
⠀
⠀
Great, now Taehyung is probably lying to you.
⠀
⠀
Few days later, again you tried to forget about what happened including all your bad thoughts about him. You asked him to go out tonight for meal since he will leave for his world tour in States in the next days, and he agreed.
⠀
⠀
"Honey bear, let's eat in that ahjussi ramen stall again! I'm craving for his ramen!" you whined to him as both of you walked around your neighborhood in the midnight.
⠀
⠀
"Ahhh, why do you want to eat in that small stall again? Your boyfriend can now make you eat in fancy restaurants. Let's eat western foods in a fancy restaurant." He replied sarcastically, not adorably and not in a joking way. He's serious and even looked annoyed which made you stop on your spot. "What will people say if they found out I am eating  there?"He mumbled at the end.
⠀
⠀
"What's wrong?" He asked when you just stared, closely and intensely in his eyes.
⠀
⠀
"Where is my old humble and nice Taehyung? Where is my honey bear?"
⠀
⠀
"What are you talking about? Stop talking non-sense okay? It's just about meals."
⠀
⠀
"No! It's clearly not only about that, Taehyung. What happened with you lately?" You couldn't help but blurt out everything.
⠀
⠀
"What's with me? I'm just busy and tired. So please stop acting like this and let's go eat and go home. I'm tired!" He exclaimed and you widened your eyes.
⠀
⠀
It's the first time. It's the very first time he said something harsh like that.
⠀
⠀
"And you said nothing's wrong with you? Even when you were very busy, the old you won't say something like that to me, Taehyung. Answer me, are you even worried about me lately? You used to ask about my days, even when you were busy as hell. Like, remember when you were on Epilogue tour overseas, you still managed to call me before your concert started, only to ask me to cheer for you! And you will call me immediately once it's over! Now, I don't think you are curious about how my days are lately."
⠀
⠀
"Yoonji, look, I-"
⠀
⠀
"I'm not done yet, Taehyung! Since when did you care about what others say about you?!?! You always said to me that you will do what makes you happy instead of listening to others. Now answer me, did you really want to eat there just because you really want it or nah?" you asked and you could tell he was looking at anywhere else but you.
⠀
⠀
"Fine! You know what, just... don't talk to me before you go back to your old self or before you find the answer for my question!" you said to him before turning around and leaving him alone that night.
⠀
⠀
Little did you know, you'll regret leaving him right there.
⠀
This won't be the end of you and him right?

No!
