Chasing you | Kim Taehyung

둘째

Walking on the empty street crying your heart out. You decided to take a walk to calm yourself and to erase what happened today. Beside you there's Dahyun comforting you.

"Do you want to go have fun?" She cheerfully said. Her heart breaks seeing you so down and sad as if the whole world is against you.

"I don-" Before you could answer she dragged you to the bus stop and wait for the bus.

"thirty minutes ride to the carnival" She said while reading the schedule of the buses. Lifting her eyebrow

"sound's fun?"

"What is this? This is new" With your head still down chuckling slightly, eyes still covered with tears you managed to smile infront of your bestfriend appreciating her efforts to make you cheer up.

"Oh come on Y/n don't cry because of that guy, Don't cry over the one who gave you pain, cry to the one who loves you more than you love yourself because you can't easily find a guy like that" She hold your hand to her caressing your soft palm.

"It's not about that, I'm just way to ugly for him." you looked down at your hands.

"Cheer up baby cheer up baby!" She sang cheerfully.

Your smile crept on your face after she gave you advice. Dahyun wiped your remaining tears and hugged you.

She's been advicing you as if she dated before.

The bus came, you get in and search for the seat at the back.

Thirthy minutes has passed you're almost at your destination.

You arrived at the park to go for rides and stuff ,

"Let's go there first!" she chimed. Pointing at the lined games with stuffed animals as a prizes.

"My sweet tofu!". You soflty yelled at Dahyun.

"My sweet mochi!" she yelled back.

"Let's ride that!" she pointed at the vikings.

"no." you walked away. But she won anyway, riding every ride she sees and seeing you smiling more is enough for her.

you also ate churros and it was such an amazing-terrible day today. You can't live without Dahyun who can support you or listen to your dramas.

"Shall we go home so you can rest?" She asked you.

You nod your head and got up quickly.

"You ok now?" She asked.

"Yes I am" you smiled at her.

"Stop overthinking ok??? We're graduating soon and I'm glad you made it to college" she cheerfully said.

"uhhh, still we're not in the same college" you said.

"That's ok. I'm jealous your school is the 2nd in the best university in Korea you know" She said.

"And I'm jealous your grades are getting higher than mine I will take your brain with me" She continued.

"Eyyy, Good grades doesn't make you a less of a person" You rolled your eyes.

"True" She replied.

"But I'm cheering for you. Fighting!!" you said.

The two of you talk for long until you reached your stop and waved goodbye to Dahyun and get off the bus. After the bus left you suddenly remembered what happened today the most terrible but happy day. You're walking in an alley still broken, head low allowing tears to come out. You suddenly felt a drop of water on your forehead

"Urgh,what??now it's raining?" you reach your hand out and look at the sky if it's really raining.

The rain poured, you brought your hands above your head to make it an umbrella as the rain starts to get heavy. You run through the alley as fast as you can only getting soaked even more.

"I'm home!" you shouted for your mom to hear.

"Oh..my sweetheart, why are you so wet?" she asked hurriedly getting a towel to dry you.

As soon as she got a towel she gave it to you and dry you. She leaned in to examine your face.

"Did you cry?" she asked.

"No." you shook your head

"Yes you did" She examines your face more. Tilting her head to get more view of your puffed face.

"I didn't" you fought. Hiding your face to your tiny hands as you walked upstairs to dry yourself in your room and get change.

"Sweetie, dinner is ready! Are you done changing?" Your mom shouted from downstairs.

"Yes mom! Coming!" You replied.

Leaving your room you walked lazily downstairs to have dinner with your mom.
You sat across your mom, you smiled. Looking down at the fried chicken infront of you. Across from you, your mom staring at you.

"How's school?" breaking the silence.

"Good." you answered fake smiling.

You finished your plate in complete silence.

"I'm done mom, I'm taking a rest now thank you for the food" you said and left.

"I should call her" you thought before dialing Dahyun's number but before you click the "call" button, Dahyun beated you to it when her name popped in the screen.

"Hello?" you answered the call.

"Are you okay babe?" She said.

"Hey." you answered.

"Please be okay baby" she said in a sad tone.

"ehh...It's not that serious and I'm just going to move on besides we're in college next few more months. I can find one there" You said.

"Ok, for now just rest and erase what happened this afternoon ok? bye I love you" She hanged up.

You put your phone down and tackled yourself in bed to go to sleep.

"Taehyung-ah! Let's eat" his step mom called him.

"I'm full" Taehyung replied coldly.

"finally it's final year, I'm sick of her" he thought.

He rejected you, hoping this is the last time talking to you . It's the last month of the school year.

He grabbed the box of your letters that he kept he cringed at the plain mint colored envelope making it a simple letter while the other envelopes filled with shining,glittering things. While your envelope remains plain.

"Why am I even keeping this?" he looked through your letters.

Grabbing the your first envelope his eyes caught, reading the paper inside.

Dear Taehyung,
I hope this will not affect our friendship but I can't keep this to myself anymore, I like you. I don't need you to like me back, I just want you to look at me....I hope this will not affect our friendship.

"Why do you have to like me?" He asked himself looking at your name at the letter.
