I Regret It

say yes

"Do you want to?"

My eyes instantly went wide, a little bit taken back by his words. He looked at me, but... It feels different from the way he used to look at me. This stare feels, I don't know... It's just, different.

"I-i..."

"HAHAHAHA"

I got shocked. Taehyung was laughing right in front of me.

"Sorry Taeri! I was just joking! Don't be so tense!"

"I knew you were joking! God I was already sweating!"

Then we both laughed together.

I don't know about you guys, but... Why do I feel like he's hiding something?

Taehyung's POV

I'm sorry Taeri...

I'm such a coward. But maybe...

Maybe next time. Next time you'll know the answer. I didn't want to say it now, I don't want our friendship to blow apart just because of this. I don't want that. I'll wait till the right time, the right place.

The right moment.

Jungkook's POV

As I opened my eyes again, I felt like everything blurred for a moment. I tried to blink for a few times, but it doesn't work at all. After a few time blinking, I could feel water escaping my eyes. This scene in front of me is sickening.

flashback on

As I woke up, I looked around, only to be greeted by Taeri's dad lying down on the bed beside me, looking at me with a worried look.

"I am so sorry..."

"It's okay mister, it's just an accident. Your having a shock and your bag hit my head pretty hard, that was it. But I'm fine sir, I really am."

He looked relieved after I said that, and he smiled. A smile that, once again reminds me about her.

"I was only trying to protect her. All over again."

I was taken aback. What does he mean?

He seems to notice my questioning look.

"She... has a trauma."

"When she was a kid, me and her mother always fought, even in front of her. I remember clearly, in every fight that we do, Taeri would always pick her mother side, leaving me all alone."
