My Stepbrother || Kim Taehyung

Chapter 2

To be honest, crushes are weird. I'm sure how to act around him when we're in school. Noticing your first crush is an exciting time in life because you're beginning to understand how it feels to another person. Crushes might last a few days, weeks, months, or longer. It can be confusing, believe me I know. They could be with someone I don't know and breaks my heart. Also, part of me feels embarrassed and might run away and hide. That happens to us before, right? Right except when people never had a one. This is confusing, so moving on. I have a crush on him for three months already and we live together. Having a crush you live with is different from a classmate or co-worker crush or whatever.

I want the school to end already and be free on my own. I can't believe this is my last year in high school with my stepbrother. I skipped a junior year because the principal told me I was smart so I'm a grade ahead. Today it's just already the third month of school.

The school day ended, I see Taehyung talking to Jungkook, his best friend. To admit Jungkook is beautiful like Taehyung but my heart leads to Taehyung. To be honest, I did use to have a crush on Jungkook but we became really great friends and he became one of my best friends. He's like a brother to me. A brother I couldn't have. Taehyung on the other hand feels like he is my crush and will be forever my crush. So you can say I'm in love. It's true, I'm in love and I'll never let go of these feelings somehow.

Then I see his girlfriend, Taehyung's girlfriend. Her name is Kwang. She's from Thailand and moves here in South Korea. She can speak Thai, Korean, and English fluently. Not gonna lie but she's very beautiful and has perfect legs. Her long black hair blown to the wind, showing her beautiful face with her red lips and hazel eyes. I wish I could be pretty like her and have a perfect family. Yes, she has a perfect family with a mother who is the principal of the school and a non-alcoholic father who works in a huge company. She also has a younger sister in her freshman year and an older brother has a major in political science and government. I'm kind of jealous of how smart and perfect they are. I'm happy Taehyung found the one. Jealousy all over again. Again I wish I was her.

Taehyung, Kwang, and Jungkook wave at me smiling. I smile and wave back. Taehyung rises his hand and want me to come over there.

I started walking, a hand touches my shoulder. I turn, it was only Jimin, my other best friend and Taehyung and Jungkook's best friend. I remember he was planning to do something bad, some dirty work in his mind.

"What's up Chimchim?" I asked smiling.

"Nothing much," he smirks. "Just doing some dirty work." Then he giggles.

Not surprised Park Jimin. "What's the dirty work this time?"

He smiles. "Okay, I know that your homeroom teacher and the music teacher is dating."

"How do you know this?"

"Well, it's over the place but I heard they are dating and going to marry soon when we graduate."

"You heard it at the teacher lounge, didn't you?" I stare at him. He always has a way to know who's dating. He did tell me first that Tae and Kwang are dating. That broke my heart when I discovered it.

"Yeah, don't be mad."

"I'm not mad, just not surprised."

"Now I know why Taehyung says you don't show a lot of your emotions to people. He talks about you know."

My heartbeats. "He does..." I'm speechless.

"Yeah, he says you're smart, doesn't show your feelings to lots of people only the people you trust and knows you love him so much and you mo-"

I cover his mouth. To be honest I only told Jimin and Jungkook about my crush on Taehyung. They are the only ones who know and always make fun of me of this crush thing. This is why crushes are weird. You're friends just want to make fun of you of your crush you're deeply in love with.

He laughs. "I know you'll always do that to me."

"I don't moan his name," I whisper not letting anyone hear. "I never did but if there's eviden-"

"Shut up you liar. I remember one of Jin's parties, you were in the bathroom moaning Tae's name." Then he's imitating my voice. "Yes! Harder." I feel embarrassed. He laughs and I punch his arm hard. "Ow that hurts, how much do you work out?"

"Till I can hurt someone like you." I laugh feeling my cheeks red.

He smiles. "Nice punch, give that to your stepfather, he deserves it."

"Thanks."

"I have to go, I don't want mom to be waiting." He waves.

"Bye Jimin!"

"Bye!" I start to walk away. "Hey wait!"

"Yes, Jimin?"

"That was sexy when you call him V." He smiles.

"Jimin! Did you record everything?"

I didn't realize I was walking with him. We're next to his black sports car.

"Maybe," he smirks and started the engine. Did he really? "See you next time, Hwa-young." He reverses his car.

"Fuck you Park Jimin!" I yell.

"Love you too!" he laughs and drives away.

"What am I going to do with you?" I ask myself quietly, somehow smiling too.

Another hand touches my shoulder. Please not be him. It's him. Taehyung. My heart beats and I can feel the butterflies. Why it has to be him? I wish it was Jungkook or anyone else.

"I'm going to JK's house to study," he says. "Is that okay with you? I'll still drop you off at our house." My heart hurts but he does need to study. It's just the stepfather thing. Taehyung, Jungkook, Jimin and I have the same classes and that is history and science. I think they have to study math because the only class left is math they have together.

"Okay," I said.

He holds my hands. "I promise I'll come back home fast."

"Okay, thank you." I can feel his embrace. I embrace back. He feels so warm.

"Come on get in the car." I got in the back of the car. Jungkook sat on the front, Tae wasn't inside the car yet.

I see Jungkook look at me with his bunny smile. "So what did you and Jimin talk about?"

"Nothing!" I feel like glowing.

"Don't lie. Tell me all about it. Wait do you know about your homeroom teacher?"

"Omg yes! But he's going to tell me more soon."

"Okay then. Did Jimin tease you again?" He laughs. "Don't lie to me or you're getting punished." It's not a dirty punishment you perverts. It's just the way he says it that I get tickled.

"I don't want to be tickled but..." I see Jungkook's hands ready to tickle me. "Okay fine! Just don't do it!"

"Okay princess, tell me all about it!" He smiles.

Then the driver door opens, Taehyung sits down and starts the engine.

"I'll tell you later over text," I whispered to Jungkook. He nods.

We drive and Tae drops me off at my house. I wave goodbye and walk toward the door. I grab the home keys. I enter inside seeing glasses of alcohol. My stepfather and a woman who I know is drinking with him.

"Mom?"
