The Bad boy's Mistake | kmg

15.

15.

First off, I'd like to apologize for the delay. I went on vacation during the summer and got back from school. I had cheer dance practice and when I was about to get back to wattpad, I got an injury.

My knee got dislocated so bad I had to stay at home and focus on healing. Was out of school for like a month and now I'm in my 6th week since my dislocation. Still praying for my knee to completely heal so I'm sorry it took so long.

     "Uhm, hi?" I nervously greeted him.

      Mingyu stares at me and it only took a few seconds until Taehyung got what Mingyu was trying to say with his eyes. Taehyung then left and I feel like I'm a lost sheep with Mingyu as the predator. Why did Taehyung have to leave at a very crucial time?!

     He sat in front of me, his hand inside his pocket and sat leisurely while probably waiting for me to speak. I can feel the awkward silence in the atmosphere! I know it's wrong that I suddenly ignored him but I just wanted a day of peace to think things through and I also didn't want to stress him out with things like this. I just had to step back and organize my thoughts..

     "Anything to say, Nari?" His low baritone is seriously scaring me. I know he's mad when he looks at me like that and him literally glaring at me isn't helping either.

     "N-nothing." I gulp. I know that he knows yet here I am, lying.

     "I'll ask this one last time." He sternly replied. "Do you have anything to say?"

     I feel like crying over all this pressure he is giving me! I don't want to tell him but if I don't, I'll be in trouble. What should I do really? I know that I've been pestering him about proper communication but I haven't had the time to organize my thoughts! How can I possibly tell him all about my anxiety with what follows him? From danger, to criticism, to everything.

      "Nari—" He looked like he was finally ticked off and ready to snap but he was interrupted.

     My eyes widened by the sudden bell signaling the start of classes. I can't believe that I'm saved by the bell! I use it as an excuse and hurriedly grab my stuff because I feel like I'm not going to last another second near Mingyu knowing he's this angry!

     "Remember this, Nari. You'll regret your decision.."

     I glance back one last time and see a pained expression from him. I planned to ignore him for a day but I know it's best if I stay away from him for now on. Or for a few days.. or I don't know. I really need to think this through.

     He has a lot of enemies and admirers. I don't want to add up to his problems knowing they are all targeting me. Loving someone as complex as Mingyu has its disadvantages as well and it's not that I'm not willing to go through so much for him. I'm just not sure if I could take it all. This space I'm creating between is not just for evading the people who wants to harm me but mainly for my well being as well.

* * *

     I quietly pack my bags and hear whispers at the back. It has only been a few hours since I started to stay away from the boys especially Mingyu and I guess news spread fast. After the break, Mingyu would usually trade seats with Hansol and bug the hell out of me during class but this time, he didn't. He was rather quiet to everyone's surprise.

     I could feel some piercing glares and cold stares as I walk through the hall and I'd admit, it feels lonely. From a far, I could see Mingyu and was about to call him but I hesitated.

     Oh, I almost forgot. I should act like I don't know him anymore. I haven't decided if this is a permanent thing yet but it is the course of action I plan on doing for the mean time.

     "Why are you sad?" Taehyung peers in my face and I faintly smile back. I guess, I still have him. Even if I do decide to cut things with Mingyu, I still have my bestfriend.

     He looks at Mingyu's direction and nods knowingly. He might've placed the pieces together and concluded about the sudden drift between Mingyu and I.

     "Had a fight?" he asks.

     "Not really. Just decided that I'd stay away from him now. I don't want to be a bother." I sigh.

     Is this how I'll feel from now on?

     Taehyung laughs. "Is this about that Hayoung girl? He can protect you, Nari. You don't have to leave his side."

     "That's the point. I don't want to be a burden to him that he was even has to protect me. If I stayed away, there won't be any problem." Not just for him, for me as well.

     I try to push my tears back but it just doesn't work. From the incident with Hayoung to the notes I receive in my locker, those are just wake up calls for me that I've been ignoring for so long. Loving Mingyu doesn't come easy and the world is doing a great job at proving that right. It's not just hard for Mingyu— it is hard for me as well. I don't want to feel this down about it so I just have to stand firm about this decision I'm trying to make.

     "I love him too much to let him suffer. I know it'll now only hurt me, but things can hurt him too.."

      Taehyung became quiet and silently consoled me. I'm not really good with expressing my emotions so I really love that he's doing his best to understand me. I just have to be strong, I guess. Nothing in life comes easy anyway.
