Blind || BTS Jungkook

Chapter 2: Your Crush Can Crush You

Aeri's POV

Somin pushed me in front of herself. "Come on. Go ask him. Don't be shy, that's not the Aeri I know."

I was annoyed and thankful towards Somin at the same time. I didn't want to ask him but she was making me.

"It's better for him to know than not know that you like him. Hurry up!" Somin started dragging me in the hallways. As we approached the locker hallway, we saw Taehyung standing at his opened locker picking out his books. "Ok, now go!"

Somin pushed me forward. I slowly walked and at the same time paused to look back at Somin, who told me to keep going until I get there. And so, I kept on walking and finally approached him.

Taehyung from his locker turned his attention to me. His beautiful eyes locking with mine made me look down at my shoes. I could feel the tension of his eyes looking at me as I had my head down. I tried forming words out of my mouth, "Uh- oppa. I came here to ask you if-"

"No," he began.

I looked up at him. "Ne?"

"No, I will not go out with you," he finished.

I started stuttering, "H-how d-did you know I was going to-"

"I knew all along," he answered without letting me finish. "That you liked me."

The happiness inside of me had drained down into nothingness. "Oh. . . well then. I'm sorry I bothered you." I lowered my head again, turned around, and started walking forward to where I came from.

"Aeri-ah!" Taehyung called. My back was to him with my head still looking down. "Don't misunderstand. I see you as my little sister. I don't want anything to come in the way of that."

My eyes were getting teary. I replied not looking back at him, "Ne, I understand." I kept on going forward and passed Somin.

Why do I feel like my whole self is sinking? I shouldn't have asked in the first place.

Taehyung's POV

I felt bad for doing that, but I had to say what was true. I didn't like her in that way. I only see her as my little sister. I want her to understand that nothing will change between us.

One thing I forgot to tell her. . . is that I like somebody else.

Anyway, I closed my locker, turned around and found Jin standing in front of me.

"Taehyung-ah, you don't like my sister?" he asked with a stern face.

"So, you heard, huh?"

"Yeah, but. . . I have always thought that you liked her."

"And what makes you think that?"

He had his arms crossed. "The way you guys played with each other when you were kids. It's the same thing even now. The way you look at her makes me think that way, too. And now you're telling me my eyes were wrong this whole time?"

"You just probably need to get your eyes checked." I tried walking away but he held onto my shoulder stopping me.

"WOah there, I'm not even done yet."

"Yeah, what do you want?"

"You never knew that I've always wanted you as my brother-in-law?"

"Why?" I inquired.

"Because you're my best friend. The only guy I can trust to be with my sister."

I looked ahead of myself feeling bad. "I'm sorry, but it won't happen." I yanked myself away from him, making my way to class.

Yoonji's POV

I heard and saw everything that Aeri was trying to do. She asked out Taehyung. Why was Somin in on this with her anyway? How about me? Did they ever think of me?

Aeri had everything already; money, a mansion, a dad who's a CEO, a handsome brother, etc. She had a bright future in front of her.

And she wanted Taehyung, too? What else does she want? Doesn't she have enough already?

Well, who cares. The good thing was that Taehyung rejected her.

And that means that I still have a chance.
