❥Protecting You (보호하기 ) - Jennie X Taehyung X Irene

Chapter 21: Tears

(UPDATED TO CHAPTER 25):

"I can't believe Taehyung and you are going to get married soon!" Omma hugged me tightly.

"Omma? I thought I told you that I hate Taehyung? I don't want to marry him, after hurting my friend."

Omma sighed.

"I forgot? I forgot that you don't like Taehyung? I can't do anything about this, Taehyung's mother is already happy."

"Well we can change it?! Right?" 

"Ani, we can't?"

"Wae? I don't want to marry him, I hate him so much!"

"Hey, don't say that? You don't know what's it like afterwards."

"I don't know?" I huffed, rolling my eyes.

"Go take a few breaths and go outside to get some air."

"I guess?" I moved the blanket off me and walked out the door.

I heard omma sighing as I left the house.

Should I really accept him after what happened?  Maybe I should? If he breaks my heart one more time, I'm leaving him.

I sat on the bench where Irene, Taehyung and I were last time when they were dating.

"Irene-ah? I'm sorry? I wish we're still friends, I didn't know it would hurt you this much for you to leave me?" I mumbled, as tears poured down my eyes.

"Jennie-ah? What are you doing?"

I turned around and there was Taehyung standing beside me.

"Can I sit?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

Taehyung sat beside me with a small smile.

"I'm glad to see you again?"

"Mwo?"

"I missed you Jennie, don't you miss me?"

"I do, but sometimes not?"

"Wae?"

"I don't know, the way we hurt Irene? It's just so-"

"I know? I felt bad for Irene too, but hey? Her baby's out?"

My eyes widen.

"Jinja?! Oh, I forgot you're the father. Taehyung, you could've stayed with her ya know?"

"I just couldn't? Something told me to come to you."

I then snickered at his statement.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing?"

"Tell me, what is it?"

"You're cute Taehyung... I'm willing to give you another chance." I smiled.

"Jinja?! You're planning to get me back? Yes!" 

He cupped my face and gave me a peck on the lips.

"I love you..."

"I love you too?"

We then both walked off to the cafe.

As we made it there, there was Irene sitting with her child.

"Irene! Omo!" I quickly ran inside with a smile.

"Irene-ah? I've been trying to contact you lately?"

"I know?"

"So why didn't you reply back to me?"

Irene's POV:

As I ate my breakfast peacefully, a woman had approached me.

I looked up and there was Jennie in front of me.

"So why didn't you reply back to me?"

"Because you hurt me? I heard you broke up with Taehyung after our argument."

"We did, but..."

"But?"

"W-We're back together?"

"So you really did like Taehyung?"

"I didn't in the first place? I hated him since a long time."

"Jennie, would you choose me or Taehyung? If I decide to become friends with you again."

Jennie paused for a few moments.

"See? You'll choose Taehyung over me? I get it now? You probably liked Taehyung when we were still together. I hope you have a happy life with him." 

I threw my napkin onto the table and left with Jay.

I still loved Taehyung, but should I really love him after what all happened?  I'm so confused, I don't know what to do anymore?

As I walked out the door, Taehyung walked in front of me.

"Wae? Why are you crying?"

I looked up at him.

"Don't talk to me...."

I pushed him out of the way.

"Jay-ah? Appa had left me for someone else, I hope you don't do the same when you grow up. Please be a good boy when you grow up, don't be like appa."

I wiped my tears away as I finally made it home.

I hate you Taehyung! I regret loving you with all my heart, while you were cheating behind my back after all.

You showed me that our love to each other weren't good enough.

What is Jennie that you want?

I wish I could become your friend again Jennie, but I can't.

The way you hurt me and I trusted you, because I known you for a very long time since childhood...

Have you really cared about how I felt in the inside.

My heart was broken into little tiny pieces.

I wish I never meet you ever! Neither of you, who decides to break my heart and leave me all alone....
