Crimson Sky| Taennie

[Chapter 28] "Let's leave."

"Dare!" Hoseok shouts.

The others start bombarding him with random things as he tries to catch up.

A smiling Jungkook sits beside me as I now glare at Taehyung. I had protested when Taehyung asked me to join their stupid game of Truth or dare. I wasn't aware of the little, don't wanna do any of the truth or dare? Well another option, you could drown yourself in alcohol.

I am someone who hates truths and dares. Call me a party pooper but I'm not playing that nonsensical game.

Taehyung had somehow managed to drag me in and the people playing were really nice to join me even while the game had already started. I had to either do their stupid dares and answer their questions or drink.

So here I sit now, drunk enough that I couldn't differentiate between my own brother and Taehyung at times.

"Tae! Let's le-"

"Noona...he is sitting on the other side," Jungkook speaks, unenthusiastically.

"Ahh...Okay," I ruffle his hair as I turn to my other right. He frowns but I don't pay attention.

"Taehyung.."

He doesn't flinch. I poke his biceps as he turns around and lifts an eyebrow.

"Let's l-leave," I find myself slurring on my words.

"Please just a little longer!" Taehyung says.

I simply nod as I unenthusiastically turn back around. Lisa joined us too and she was drooling over Jungkook. I simply couldn't control her and after a few times I had my own business to handle than protecting my little brother and after all Lisa wasn't a bad person either.

"Lisa! Yah!" I shout.

She snaps her attention to me.

"Let's leave," I whine. She glances at Jungkook and then shakes her head.

I punch Jungkook in the gut and he frowns.

"What did I do to you?" He snaps.

"You deserved it," I whisper nonchalantly.

"Jennie! It's your turn," Heoseok shouts.

"I'm not doing this shit!" I stand up from my seat. My legs feel like jelly but I mange to move away from the chair. Taehyung follows immediately.

"I'll take her back home," I hear him say to the others.

"Yah! Kook, you better not return home drunk," I glare at Jungkook. He snickers as he waves me off.

"Let's go home!" I chirp. I can feel myself getting out of control but I was too annoyed to care. I wanted to go back. I don't like stuffy places. It smelled of people.

"Careful!" Taehyung warns.

I felt the ground below me turn blurry and I squint my eyes to get a better view. Once my vision is cleared I walk with careful steps.

"Uh this won't do," Taehyung sighs.

"At this rate we wouldn't be able to even cross the gates of this mansion, come closer, I'll hold onto you," He sighs.

Familiar lines? The last drama I watched? Not sure. Nevertheless I move closer to him. I'm afraid I would walk into a pole or something.

After about three times of almost walking into things, we reach home. I enter the dark place as I slowly find the switches and press them one after the other but nothing really happens. I tilt my head in confusion.

"Those aren't the switches," Taehyung sighs for the umpteenth time this night.

Oh shit?!? What the fuck? Why do I suddenly want to kiss him? I'm doomed.

"Ohh okay," I look away.

"What's wrong?" He walks closer.

No, no, danger! I push myself against the wall as to maintain distance.

"Jennie? What happened? Are you alright? You wanna throw up or something?" He asks concerned.

I don't look up but simply shake my head.
"Jennie? Look up," he commands.

Uh can I disappear? Can the ground swallow me?

When I don't look up, Taehyung cups my face with his palms as he slowly makes me look up. That's it, I couldn't take it anymore.

My mind is clouded with weird thoughts and to erase it, I do the stupidest thing I could muster.

I kiss him. I close the distance between us, tiptoeing. Somehow I managed to not fall. My lips move against his and he doesn't flinch. He slowly pulls away and I look away.

This wasn't how it was supposed to be.
