ISSUES || Taegi

Chapter 14

Taehyung POV

The next weeks were very hard, I started to feel a bit down again even if I tried to convince myself I was going to be okay. I just had to forget about Yoongi...As simple as that, if it was simple at all. The thing is, the universe doesn't like me a lot okay? So it had different plans for me, and by different plans I mean later Min Yoongi decided to text me because of, you guessed it, Jimin.

<<Hey Tae, Uh I just had a question>>

<<Oh, hey Yoongi Hyung, tell me>>

<<Do you know what's the literature homework for next class?>>

<<You have to find motifs in the last part of Romeo and Juliet>>

<<Ugh, okay...Btw, can you help me with something else?>>- And as soon as Yoongi wrote this I realized it was all about Jimin, again.

<<Uh, sure thing>>

<<Look, I've been talking to Jimin for a while now, you may have noticed I spend some time with him in school and stuff...And the truth is I, of course, wasn't expecting to fall for him, at all, to be fair at the beginning I thought I could just fuck him and get out you know? But now...I really like him. The thing is, I don't know if it is too soon to ask him out on like, a proper date?>>- Yoongi texted, and I crumbled inside a bit more, but how was I not going to help him? I just couldn't say no to him, and after all, he was my friend even if he was a bit of an asshole.

<<I mean...You've been talking for like two weeks or something like that so, I think it's just fair, I'm no expert but, maybe he is already waiting for you to ask him out>>- I was not a bad person, so I tried to reply in the most helpful way possible, even if it really hurt me. Still, I was confused on why he was asking me this, we weren't that close, why not Namjoon?

<<Yeah, maybe you are right, thanks Tae, I'll ask him out tomorrow>>

<<Yeah, that's cool man>>

After that, Yoongi tried talking to me a bit more, he asked about how I was doing the Literature assignment, and I was just feeling like shit and very confused because he was being extraordinarily nice and because, well he was talking to me in the first place. The thing is somehow we had a stable conversation for like an hour after that, about everything and nothing at all, and somehow I could tell this one wasn't forced by his faux politeness. Even if he didn't like me back, even if I knew he would never like me, I went to bed with a smile on my face, and it was all because of him. I was too damn stupid, and I was in too deep already.

***********

The very next day I waltzed into the school as if didn't have a care in the world, I was in a very good mood for some reason, that reason having a name and a surname. I had some boring random classes and then I had chemistry, so of course, I went to find Jungkook first, but then I saw something I really wasn't expecting to see, at all. My dear best friend, the one who had made chastity votes because his parents were fucking crazy, came out of a janitor closet with his hair a bit messed up and a petite blonde girl behind him; I watched as they looked at each other fondly and then he gave her a small peck on the lips bidding a quick goodbye, she walked off and he just stared at her for a bit, he was so sure there was no one around that when he turned around and saw me his eyes opened widely as plates. Jungkook wasted no time and ran towards me and dragged me into the boys' bathroom.

"Jungkook what the fuck, we are going to miss chemistry"- I said more upset about not showing up to a class apparently.

"Fuck that, listen, I can explain"- Jungkook said with a frightened look in his eyes.

"Explain that you were having sex with some girl in the janitor's closet? Dude, I was starting to think you were asexual or something"- I said, kind of happy for my best friend for, getting it, but kind of not because I was scared of his parent's reaction if they ever found out.

"She's not just some girl okay? I'm not a fuckboy, that's Seoyun, my girlfriend"- Jungkook finally admitted leaving me in utter shock.

"She's your WHAT?!"- I said very confusedly, and very offended because I had no idea about this.

"Shhh"- He said putting a hand over my mouth- "Yeah, she is my girlfriend, we have been together for like six months now, and yeah, I know I didn't tell you, I didn't tell anyone because...Well it's my life, my private life, and also even if my parents would approve of me having a girlfriend, my mom would be a bitch to her and sooner or later they would find out I'm having sex"- Jungkook explained quickly.

"So you've had a girlfriend for like six months, and you didn't even tell me?"- I said sounding even more offended, I was hurt because he is supposed to be my best friend but still he didn't tell me anything.

"Look, I just really don't want my parents finding out at all okay? But yeah, I guess now you know"- He answered a bit nervous.

"Right...Okay so, tell me about her, we can't go to class now anyway"- I said trying to fix the uncomfortableness of the situation, and Jungkook's face lit up a bit.

After that, we stayed in the bathroom and Jungkook basically told me about how much he loved Seoyun, he said she was really chill but easily excited, kind of like a puppy, and he also remarked how much he enjoyed her being so small and absurdly pretty. We stayed like that until it was time for the next class, and I just couldn't stop thinking about how happy I was for him, he finally found someone he loved dearly and who loved him just as much; still, I felt a bit queasy because I knew it could get him into trouble, and because I also knew we would begin distancing, now that I knew he would be freer to spend more time with her and yeah...I was being a bit selfish but I knew how it worked very well. 

Right after, as I was heading towards my next class I saw something, again, in the far corner of the main hall, soon I realized it was Yoongi and Jimin. I decided to come closer because I am a masochist I guess, and just as that I started hearing their conversation. I knew I wasn't supposed to be listening, but still, there I was; I heard clearly when he asked Jimin to go out with him, and then I clearly saw when Jimin jumped into his arms and kissed him saying he thought he would never ask. I felt like crumbling again, but it was my fault, I knew it would happen and still, I filled myself with false hopes once again. I felt my eyes moisten and decided it was time to run out of there.

Heeey. So...sorry about that, I know it's rough, fucking Yoongi back at it again, even if he doesn't even know Tae likes him, but whatever. Yeah so, hope you enjoyed, and thank you so much for reading, voting and commenting, really.

Have a nice day <3.
