House of Cards {Taehyung x Reader}

Chapter 9

It was the morning I had been dreading for days. We had already left the studio, they managed to sneak me out in one of the equipment containers. I was helping them pack their things at the hotel. Each shirt I folded I could feel my heart get heavier. They were really leaving. Slowly I zipped up Taehyung's bag.

"You have to text us everyday." Hobi stated, "Call anytime. We'll fly you to Korea." Surprisingly everyone was sad to be leaving me and kept giving me their stuff to keep so I 'felt closer' to them. We walked the luggage to the elevator and quitely rode down to the lobby.

They came up one by one to give their goodbyes.

"If you need to talk, you can call me." Suga hugged me.

"Stay small." Jungkook laughed and patted my head.

Jimin walked over with a pout and pulled me into a bear hug.

"Make sure you eat everyday. Come to me for kimchi recipe." Jin said as motherly as ever.

"If you need help with anything remember you have 6 brothers that will help... But come to me if it's math because they won't be much of a help." RapMon joked. The 6 of them waited by the door while Tae gave me his final goodbye.

"As soon as you finish school I'll be back for you. Or whenever you need me I'll come back." He hugged me and I took in as much as his warmth as possible.

"I need you now." I could feel tears starting to form.

"I need you too. We'll just have to wait a little bit." He kissed the top of my head. He pulled away from the hug, his eyes misty. "I'll call you when I get off the plane." I nodded and hugged myself trying to contain the tears. Before he walked to his friends he placed a final kiss on my forehead and joined his friends. I turned and headed towards the back exit where the car they set up for me was. I made my way towards the kitchen and out the back door and was immediately escorted to a black SUV.

...

When the driver dropped me off at school it was lunch time. I'm honestly surprised no one had found out yet, most of the clothes I wore now a days were designer since Tae kept giving me stuff. Today I was wearing a mashup of all the boys. I had Jimin's pants, Jin's shirt, Jungkook's beanie, RM's sweater, Suga's sunglasses, and Hobi's pouch that was hidden in my backpack. I looked and smelled like a bunch of boys. Not to mention my makeup was professionally done this morning. Nobody said anything, other than my friends.

When I walked into the lunch room Louise and Jackie ran over to me and began smelling all the clothes.

"Guy's that really weird."

"If you get to date one we get to smell the others." Jackie said under her breath after taking a sniff from RM's sweater. Finally they stopped and looked at my face. A single tear escaped my eye, I put on the sunglasses in hopes it was cover it. "Awe, sweetie." Jackie pulled me over to the table with (f/n) and began rubbing my back comfortingly. "What's wrong?"

"They left this morning." I blurted out, more tears continuing to fall. "This is all I have left of them." I gestured to my clothing. Jackie and Louise attempted to comfort me while (f/n) sat quietly and ate.

"Aw, what's wrong (y/n)? Finally realize how ugly you are?" Allie laughed with her friends as they passed by.

"Oh how I'd love to rub this in her face." Louise balled her hand into a fist. I laughed at the action. My laughter continued as I looked down at my clothes.

"They're so big, I look awful!" I giggled. My friends then joined in.

"Who's shirt is that anyway?" Jackie asked.

"Jin's, his shoulders are like twice the length of mine." I pulled the top of the sweater off to reveal the actual size of the shirt. It took a little bit for (f/n) to join in but eventually she joked around with us. We continued to laugh about my baggy clothes until the bell rung.

Taehyung's P.O.V

I swiped through the photos on my phone. They were filled with (y/n) and her smile. How long would it be until I got to see that smile in person again. I wish I could just scoop her up and bring her with us everywhere. She always put everyone in a good mood. How she'd copy our dances while rehearsing and pretended to be our director when we filmed. Once she somehow convinced Suga to let her do his hair and makeup, he came out looking like he had like three 4 year olds doing his hair and makeup.

Jin sat in the plane seat next to me and pointed a camera at me.

"Taehyung are you excited to go to Washington!" He tried to amp me up.

"Oh yes, I can't wait to meet more of the ARMY. But I will definitely miss California." I gave a weak smile that Jin took as a sign to leave. We all weren't thrilled to be leaving but we had to keep up our normal activities for our fans.

To pass the time I decided to scroll through twitter, it's been awhile since I've posted. I took a quick selfie and began writing a caption; 'Off to Washington! Can't wait to meet more of you! <3'. With one click of a button it was posted. Within seconds it was getting hundreds of likes and comments. I opened up the comments and began reading through them.

'I'll see you there!'

'You need to post more :('

'Love you!'

'Who's the girl you've been with?'

'Do you have a girlfriend!?'

The comments quickly changed from their normal messages to questions about the mystery girl. Some of the comments were supportive but others made me fear for (y/n), if anyone ever found out her identity she could be in real danger. If I was the reason she was hurt I have no idea what I'd do. Maybe we should just reveal it and she can come finish school in Korea. We'd be able to have her on BTS run. I can already picture her getting angry at a board game and making fun of us while we cook. Maybe someday it will happen. But for now she is the secret that we must protect.

The plane took off, increasing the distance between (y/n) and I.

A/N: New cover! Honestly I like this one SO much better. Sorry the chapter was kind of short but I'll be updating soon. Thanks or reading! -M
