My Crush | ksj

1 - Crushed

       
Being the girlfriend of Kim Taehyung was amazing. He looked like a fallen angel, bought me everything I wanted and everyone treated us like royalty. There was only one problem – I was in love with Kim Seokjin.

It happened gradually, at first I noticed myself liking his smile, then my heart beat faster at his sight and now he was stuck in my mind. Seokjin being two years older only added to his appeal, he seemed like a man. Not that I had ever really spoken with him but I was about ninety-nine percent sure that we were a match made in heaven. I sighed.

"What is it, can't stop thinking about your prince in shining armour?", Jimin looked up from his phone and gave me a mocking look. He had been my best friend ever since middle school and OF COURSE he wouldn't stop teasing me about my crush. Although he cheered me up when my love for Seokjin became a bit too overwhelming (I cried because of him having a new girlfriend) - Jimin still loved making fun of me.

I flipped onto my belly and whined "I just want to be his girlfriend, Jiminie!"

My best friend got up from his chair and moved closer to the bed on which I was currently lying.
"Then how about...", he pushed me to the side and sat down next to me "you stop fucking Taehyung?"

My cheeks flared up and Jimin instinctively covered his head with his tiny hands "I am NOT 'fucking' him, he's my boyfriend", I hissed into his ear. Jimin chuckled and shook his head "You WISH he was your boyfriend. That dude has like ten girls at the same time. In my opinion, he's a waste of time"

I plummeted down on my back again "Where's the lie?", more a statement than an actual question.

"Well, there isn't, Hayoon-ah. And you should really dump him, even if it weren't for Seokjin", Jimin ruffled his currently peach-coloured hair and got up from my bed. Of course he was right.

But Taehyung was really charming to me. Okay, maybe he was to everyone. Anyway, I was officially known as his girlfriend which gave me a few social bonuses and to be fair, who wouldn't want to be called jagiya by the school's most attractive man? On the other hand, I had fallen so hard for Seokjin, that even Taehyung's sweet words left me unaffected most of the time and as Jimin had put so well, he used me like he used too many other girls.

"But he's the only reason we're not seen as total losers, you know?", I quietly stated my only reason for staying with Taehyung. It was silent for a while before Jimin simply said "Then school tomorrow will be as usual, I guess"

And it was. I adjusted my uniform as I passed through the school gate, prepared to greet Taehyung as every morning. It was more for show than for our undying love, but oh well, that's life.

"Hey, babe", he whispered into my ear as his arms clung to my waist, as if on cue.
I turned around with a smile and gave him a kiss on the cheek "How are you, Oppa?"

Tae winked "Perfect, now that I've seen you. Should I bring you to class, princess?", he intertwined his fingers with mine as we started walking towards the building. Normally, I should have butterflies in my stomach and sweaty hands but all I felt was a bit of hunger and Taehyung's rough skin, he really should use moisturizer more often. Some girls from lower grades threw envious glances at us as we moved along the hallways, still holding hands. Tragic.

"Here we are. Don't miss me too much", Tae gave me a quick peck and turned around, not awaiting my response. I certainly wouldn't. How could one guy be so full of cheesy lines? With the same relief as always, I went into my classroom, greeting some classmates who'd never speak to me if it weren't for my relationship. With a sigh, I let myself fall into the seat next to Jimin, who lazily took out an earbud "Morning, Hayoon. Your acting career going well?"
I chuckled "Oh yeah, maybe I'll get an Oscar in a year or two"
It was no secret between us that I didn't really feel attracted to Taehyung and we mostly just played the picture perfect couple. If you're wondering, what Tae got out of it –

7:53AM
Tae 💘 "Meet me in the janitor room @ lunch👀😍"

That. I replied with a kissy face and put my phone into airplane mode. Jimin had sneaked a look at my display "You're going to leave me alone in the cafeteria again? Fake", his expression was supposed to portray betrayal but it looked more like a puppy. I flicked his forehead and shrugged "A girl's gotta get it"

As our teacher entered the room, Jimin murmured "I wish a guy would, too"
