Barely Living (Taehyung)

    Mi Jae walked faster, Hoping that he would not catch her. Taehyung grabbed Mi Jae's wrist once more, She tried to fight her way, but his grip was too tight. Taehyung glared at Mi Jae, she tried to push it back down, but it was useless.
        "Please don't look at them" Mi Jae pleaded
    He bit his lip, slowly peeling back the big white bandage on my arm. He saw the thousands of cuts on her arms. He took the bandage and pressed it against her skin, sealing the bandage tight.
    "Don't cut again" He coughed, looking at the floor.
    "Come on," Mi Jae said avoiding the comment "We are already 30 minutes late."
    Mi Jae and Taehyung walked in silence, the air was thick, but the tension was thicker. You could cut that shit with a plastic knife. Mi Jae  coughed awkwardly as she walked to class. Taehyung followed her.  She could feel the awkwardness coming if of Taehyung all day. She didn't  know what to do about him. She sat in class all day. At times she noticed him staring at her, she would look the other way, and he would smile.  After all the classes ended for the day, Mi Jae looked around for her bike. Where was her bike? Thought Mi Jae. She noticed It wasn't on the rack. Mi Jae looked around everywhere for her bike, but it was nowhere to be found.
   Then she saw him. Taehyung was standing there with her bike. That stupid dumb boy. She thought. Mi Jae walked over blankly to taehyung, just to get her bike to go home.
"Are you going to going to give me my bike?" Asked Mi Jae.
"Depends" Taehyung shrugged
"On what." Mi Jae crossed her arms.
"If you will be my friend" Said Taehyung
"I'd rather buy a new bike. Sit with Jee young and Ri Ah tomorrow, you'll like them." Mi Jae stammered, turning around facing the long sidewalk ahead of her. She took a step forward, but was stopped by taehyung's hand, again. What did this boy want? She thought. She whipped back around glaring at him. He looked at her sideways.
"I don't want to be Ri ah's or Jee Young's friend." Taehyung spurted out.
