Tae

With all of those thoughts in my head I made my way to the cafe. I needed to take my mind off things and I was hoping the cafe would help. I ordered my drink and sat in their lounge area picking up a book and beginning to read. It was nice and calm.

The atmosphere felt amazing. When things get rough I like to go to this cafe. It brings me peace. Tae and I always go to this cafe together. He has never brought anyone else here but me. Which felt nice. It made me feel special. But I spoke too soon. I look up from my book and my stomach feels week.

It was Tae and Irene. He just met her today and he is already bringing her to the cafe he has only brought me to. Suddenly all the times he brought me here didn't feel so special anymore. Clearly I know I'm not the only one he's brought to this cafe now. I was jealous. I could finally admit to myself that I had strong feelings towards Taehyung. And seeing him with her just made me sad but also made my blood boil. My drink came and I put my hat on so they couldn't recognize me.

I was eavesdropping their entire conversation. They were mostly talking about themselves. Maybe trying to get to know each other better. I was about to get up and leave since I got bored hearing them talk.

But as I stood up I heard Irene laugh and say "Tae your so funny". That was enough to make my heart shatter. He didn't like to be called Tae. He barely let me call him that. But when she said it he laughed with her. It may not seem like a big deal to others but I gave him that nickname. It was from me to him. An suddenly I felt betrayed.

Tears slowly streamed down my face and I looked over to see him holding her hands. It looked to familiar. I dropped my drink causing them to look at me.

Taehyung- "Minah?"

I looked at him and my chest tightened. He was still holding her hands. And the feeling cane back. My breathing became unsteady and shaky. I began sweating. I dropped to the ground and cried. I was trying so hard to catch my breath but crying wasn't making it easier. Tae quickly stood up and came to me. He went to grab my hand but I quickly pulled away before he could. He looked at me worriedly. I looked up at him. Showing him my red and distressed eyes. I was sobbing at this point.

Taehyung- "Minah what's wrong?"

He said while attempting to help me up.

Minah- "don't touch me. Please. Just let me be for now."

I got up and ran outside. I didn't stop running. I looked back once and saw Tae standing outside looking at me. And soon Irene came out. I turned back around as soon as I saw her. I couldn't stand to look at her next to him.

And so I ran all the way home not caring about anything. Once I arrived I ran straight to my room closing and locking the door behind me. I slid down with my back against the door. I sat on the floor for about 15 minutes trying to catch my breath. Why is it so hard to breathe?

After finally catching my breath I grabbed my computer and sat on my bed. Opening my computer I searched up causes of heavy breathing. When the page was done loading my screen was filled with cases of the 'hanahaki disease'. I was expecting to see more things about asthma. It was very familiar. A few kids at my school had it a while ago.It caused our school to get special bins in the bathrooms specifically for it.

I clicked on a link which took me to a page about the disease. It basically said that it is caused by one sided love. And the symptoms were heavy breathing, sweaty palms, and throwing up petals. Specifically the others favorite color or flower. I closed out of it. There's no way that i have that. First of all I don't throw up petals and Tae doesn't now that i feel for him that way. Maybe it's just asthma.

I closed my laptop and stared at the wall in front of me. Suddenly I received a text. Is it from him? I was to scared to check. I flipped my phone over and when I saw who it was from my heart began beating faster and my palms started to sweat. What could they possibly want?

Dad- "meet me outside in 5 minutes"

🌻- this one is a shorter one sorry. Also two chapters in one day! I'm on a roll. But what do you think will happen next. Does Minah have hanahaki or asthma? What will Minah do with her friendship with Tae? Will she confess? And what does her dad need? Let me know :)
