Disguised as a Nerd | BTS fanfiction COMPLETE

Chapter 30

Chaerin's POV

When I got home, I felt like I was out of energy. It was even hard for me to go up my room.

My eyes were completely swollen to the point that I feel like I cannot open them up anymore. When I arrived at my room, I immediately dropped my tired body onto my bed and instantly drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up, my head wasn't aching anymore. Which was a good thing because I felt like it was breaking apart like a coconut earlier.

I sighed and got off my bed. I can tell that my eyes were all puffy and I had dry tear stains on my face.

I headed to my bathroom to take a quick shower.

Whenever I feel down, the first thing I really do is take a shower. The water calms me down and makes me forget about my worries for a short period of time.

As I stepped in, I sighed as I felt the warm water run down my body. I just stayed there, closing my eyes and let my worries get carried away even just for a few minutes.

As I combed my hair, I made my way to the vanity table in my room. Not the one in my closet. I sat down on the chair and combed my hair there.

My eyes weren't that red and puffy anymore and my face is all cleared from the dry stains.

I was blank. At this moment, it is like I can feel nothing at all. I am like a robot. A robot that slowly strokes and combs her hair.

There were sudden knocks on the door that startled me. So I placed my comb down the table and headed for my door.

When I opened it, my eyes grew wider. I saw Chaesoo standing in front of me. But her eyes weren't on me, she was just staring at the ground.

Just by seeing her made all my emotions explode inside me again. Once again, I am at the brink of crying.

"...Is there something you need?" I asked her with a straight voice that I can manage, breaking the awkward silence in the atmosphere.

She sighed. "I want to apologize... I was so insensitive back there," she said, lifting her head up to meet my gaze.

Her eyes shows complete guilt and it breaks my heart to see her like this

I sighed and bit my lip to prevent myself from breaking down to tears. "...I am sorry too, unnie," I apologized. "...I shouldn't have shouted at you. You were right, I shouldn't disrespect mom and dad... But still, I cannot face them. I hope you understand."

She softly smiled and nodded her head. "I completely understand."

I smiled. "...Thank y-you," my voice cracked and I can tell she already realize that there was something wrong.

"...I think we should go inside," she told me. She grabbed my wrist and pulled me inside my room, closing the door behind her. The she pulled me to my bed and we both sat down. "Are you alright? Aside from the fact that mom and dad still won't stop the engagement... Is there something else wrong with you?"

That was when my tears started to escape my eyes once again. "...Taehyung and I had an misunderstanding..."

"What? What happened?"

I sighed. "I was looking for him at lunch in school yet I didn't find him... I really needed him badly that time because I was aching physicly and emotionally... You know that he can help me deal with those pain, right?" Chaesoo nods as a response. "...But I ended up seeing Chanyeol and I vent all my sadness to him. Then Taehyung saw us hugging and he got mad... He didn't even listen to my explanation," I said. "...U-Unnie... How can this h-happen??... W-What would I do now if the p-person who I-I am struggling at the same p-problem is mad at me?? W-What would happen to u-us... I... I-I need him... I need Taehyung right now, unnie," I cried, covering my face with both of my hands.
