Choose Me || Taehyung x Reader x Jin

Chapter 15: Skool Luv Affair

I couldn't sleep well at all. The sun was rising, slowly lighting up my room. It felt like I didn't get a wink of sleep last night. Actually, for a few nights already. I grabbed my phone and stared at the screen as I scrolled down on random messages. A past conversation struck me again.

Minhee: well what if he really likes you?

Y/n: I doubt it. We've been friends since we were like toddlers

Minhee: EXACTLY that's why Taehyung got hurt, because you keep pushing away the idea of you two being more than friends even after YEARS of being so close ???

Y/n: Aniyaaa... Minhee he knows I like Jin oppa for a long time now, Taehyung cant possibly like me

Minhee: well that does make things worse for Tae. I totally understand how he feels tbh

Y/n: YOU DONT GET IT u are not helping me feel better

Minhee: All I can say is, a guy and a girl can never be "just friends". One of them is bound to fall in love with the other eventually.

I stare at Minhee's text message, letting it sink in. It's been days, and Taehyung is still ignoring me and treating me coldly. It's as if he doesn't see or even hear me, like I'm completely invisible to him. Now it's a hundred percent impossible to assume that he does like me.

It takes a huge amount of self control for me to stop myself from sending a text to Taehyung.

Y/n: I miss you... I'm sorry.

I typed but quickly erased the text for Taehyung. "It's only been a few days, pull yourself together." I whisper to myself and hit my forehead, trying to convince myself that it isn't that bad.

Afterall, we're only keeping our distance until the rumors stop right?

But what if this permanently creates a gap between us?

What if that stupid rumor about us dating ruins our friendship?

My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. "Time to get up for school!" My brother says cheerfully behind the door. I groan and whine, I didn't even get enough sleep!

I lazily get ready and dragged my feet, keeping a pout on my lips. Hoseok oppa and my brother were already sitting around the breakfast table, eomma was setting the dishes on in front of us. I noticed than Jin oppa and Yoongi oppa weren't with them, but I was too sleepy to ask.

I play with my the food on my plate and kept my chin rested on my free hand. "Yah, you look uglier when you're sad." Namjoon teased and flicked a grain of rice to my face, making Hoseok oppa laugh.

Before we finished eating, there was a knock on the front door. Eomma rushed to open the door to welcome whoever it was. "Ahh! And to whom are these for?" We heard my mother exclaim in excitement before all three of us get up and walk to the door.

"Good morning! Sorry I was late for breakfast, I had to pick these up from the shop." Jin oppa beamed and bowed as greeting for my mother. My eyes widen as I noticed what he had in hand.

"Are they still inside?" Jin oppa asked before entering. I rushed behind my brother to hide, Namjoon just looked at me weirdly.

"Oh! Are those for me?" Hoseok oppa joked and patted Jin oppa's back before pushing him in front of me.

I look down to hide my pinkish face. "For you, Y/n." Jin oppa handed me a small banquet of mixed flowers.
