Aquiver | Taehyung

Chapter:39

I can't help but wish I could disappear right now.

Jennie has been squealing like a dying whale infront of Inha and I for hours now.The moment they entered here,She dragged me in this table to say something but she still hasn't spill the beans yet.I am seriously thankful to chaerin,if he hadn't insisted to look after the counter until they leave,I dont know what would I've been up to now.

"I'm so excited to tell一"She squealed again grinning like a crazy person.

"It's enough,we're leaving now."Inha said in a calm voice but her expression looked so done with her.

"Yeah she's rig-"

"I am dating Taeyung."She chimed cutting me off before fishing for her phone in the bag,swiping her thumb across the screen as she scrolled down to see something to show us.

But I was shocked to hear what she said.Did I hear it right?

"Taehyung?"I absentmindedly mumbled to myself until their gazes fell upon me.

The smile on their faces faded before they looked at me with horrified expression that I couldn't decipher.

"Why would I date him."She knitted her eyebrows looking at me with bewildered expression.

"She meant Taeho,Haneul."Inha reached for my hand and gave it a light squeeze.

I don't know why but suddenly the atmosphere became awkward.Every time when something about him comes up,silence engulfs us.They try to ignore talking about him which I'm thankful but I wish they could understand that he's not that bad,that bad like they thought.

"I'm so happy for you both,My ship is sailing."Inha chuckled lightly trying to lighten up the air between us.

"I'm happy for you too.This little girl finally found her knight in shining armour."I genuinely smiled looking at her then we all did a group hug before laughing and teasing her again.

The people nearby gave us weird looks but we couldn't care less.I was more than grateful that they didn't take the topic about Taehyung any further.Whenever I see the look on their faces,I want to defend him and convince them that he doesn't deserve those looks or hatred but I can't when I myself haven't got the courage to find whether he seriously deserved those.

Jennie laughed off remembering that how she used to fall head over heels for Seojun but now Taeho seems to be the guy who stole her heart.We teased her for that again and again before the girl had enough.It feels ironic to hear people say they lose feelings for someone so easily but I think that's the truth about life.We can't hold onto some feelings forever,there comes one day when we forgot about someone once who used to be inseparable,I can't say we forget them totally but their significance in our life doesn't remain the same as before.

Just like I lost feelings for Jaehyun.

But why can't I lose feelings for Taehyung?

"I've heard around the college that he is dating someone named Areum."Jennie said softly with concerned look on her face.

"I know Jen."I smiled sadly lacing the disappointment and sadness deep inside my heart.

"I know you're a strong girl!And you deserve better than him."Inha tried to cheer me up with fighting gesture that made me chuckle a bit.

"Because there are plenty of fishes in the sea."we all said in unison before we decided to shrugg off the topic.

I would be lying if i said It didn't felt as if someone pinched my heart when I saw both of them together.A part of me was disappointed at him but what could I expect after all.

Choi Areum

I've heard alot about her.She's just a year junior than us but because of her cheerful and positive vibe,she's already popular in college.I wish I could hate her,hate her for taking Taehyung away from me but It sounds so foolish and absurd to even think like that.

Not when I was the one who left him.
