It's A Fine Line

26: Nope. Not awkward at all.

The awkward silence that was very much present in the room made me realise that I don't come up with the best of ideas.

I sat in Taehyung's living room with all of Bangtan, questioning my life choices as everyone remained silent.

"So, you're Senthuri?" Yoongi asked breaking the silence.

"Huh? Oh. Yeah."

"Are you sure?"

"Y-yes," I stuttered. His cold gaze made me uncertain of my own identity.

"You don't sound it."

That's because you're freaking me out.

He raised an eyebrow at me.

Poop did I say that out loud?

Taehyung nodded softly.

"Kookie used to bully you but now you two are friends?" Hoseok asked in slight disbelief.

I nodded weakly no longer trusting my voice not to mess things up for me.

"And you're the one he's been spending all of his time with instead of us?" It was Jin who asked this.

They were questioning me like I was under investigation for a crime. I felt like crying. And if Yoongi didn't stop looking at me so harshly I felt like I would admit to a murder that I didn't commit. A murder that didn't even happen.

I was wringing my hands in nervousness. There wasn't much else I could do but remain silent under everyone's scrutinising stares.

I shouldn't have suggested this.

"Hyung, I don't spend all of my time with her," Jungkook - whom I forgot was there - said.

"Was I speaking to you Jungkook?" Jin reprimanded the younger one like a stern mother.

"No. Sorry Hyung," Jungkook apologised.

The room was silent again.

"Why did you want to meet us?" Yoongi asked.

"Maybe God know because I certainly don't."

"What?" He said and looked at me like I spoke in a foreign language.

Wait...
Did I speak in Tamil instead of korean.

Taehyung nodded his head and I realised I thought aloud. Again.

"I-I don't know. It seemed like a good idea. Emphasis on the word seemed."I said (in the right language) and mumbled the last part to myself.

"You think you can just waltz in here and suddenly believe we'll accept you as our friend," he retorted.

"N-no. I-"

"So why are you infringing on our time together?"

"T-that wasn't m-my intention."

"I don't believe you."

"I'm sorry. I'll just leave then." I get up from my seat and I was ready to leave. The meeting was a bigger disaster than I thought it would be.

"You should leave." Hoseok said standing up.
"But before you do," he put his hand around my shoulders, " we really scared you didn't we?" He started laughing as did the rest of Bangtan.

"Wh-what?" I stood there shocked. I didn't understand why they were all laughing - Jungkook included.

"It's called a prank Senthuri. You should've seen your face," Hoseok said wiping away a tear that had formed from laughing too hard.
