ISSUES || Taegi

Chapter 26

Taehyung POV

I still don't completely understand why I accepted Namjoon's proposal, and even if it felt wrong, it was true I wanted to know if I had even the slimmest chance of Yoongi liking me back. I could have totally just left things the way they were and deal with it, but realizing I liked Yoongi even more than ever now just made me a little bit erratic, a little bit too much perhaps. As soon as I got home, I started talking with Yoongi, and as smoothly as I could I started telling him about my "crush".

You

<<Hey uh, I mean now that you are the one in a relationship and stuff, do you think I could ask you a very random question?>>

Yoongi

<<Sure thing, what's it about Tae?>>

You

<<Okay... Maybe, just maybe, I might be developing some sort of crush on someone... But I'm a bit confused about it>>

Yoongi

<<You have a crush on someone but you didn't tell me? I'm offended>>

<<Jk, but who is it????>>

You

<<As I just said, I'm not exactly sure of how I feel, how do I know exactly if I do indeed like them?>>

Yoongi

<<Well... This is totally a bit different from how I figured out, I was attracted to Jimin right away, but I think you have to spend more time with them to figure out how you actually feel>>

<<Still, you didn't tell me who it is>>

You

<<Thanks, Hyung! You are right, maybe I should try getting closer to them>>

Yoongi

<<Taehyung, why are you avoiding my question?>>

Seen

<<Kim Taehyung, I swear, you can't just leave me hanging like this>>

Seen

<<I'll stab you in the face once I see you tomorrow lil brat, I swear>>

Okay so maybe I didn't think through the fact that Yoongi would keep on asking who it was, but I couldn't just go and tell him right away, it needed some kind of buildup, thank God I didn't literature tomorrow, I knew he would kill me as soon as he saw me. But for now, ... The plan was going well, whatever it was supposed to be. I just hoped it didn't all go to waste.

*************************

The day had gone by smoothly, but my anxiety increased with every passing second, especially when I started walking towards the cafeteria at lunchtime. I quickly spotted my table and saw all of my friends already sitting there, Jimin was there too, it seemed he would just stick with us, great. I took a deep breath and marched to my seat hoping Yoongi didn't get to kill me before I managed to "talk" with Namjoon, but of course as soon as he spotted me his eyes filled with rage and determination, and right then and there my usually calm and composed friend grabbed me by the collar of the shirt and started reprimanding me.

"Yah, Kim Taehyung, I thought we were friends, how could you leave me hanging like that, I thought you trusted me"- He said in a mockingly loud tone startling our friends at the table, I could see he was not really serious, he was just fucking around, even if he did want to know the identity of the person I "liked".

"Hyung, you are embarrassing, calm down, I panicked yesterday okay? I'll spill the tea to you later alright?"- I said lying, and mocking his slightly as well, but somehow promising to tell him the truth. At this point, our friends had realized we were just joking and started laughing as soon as I used the expression "spill the tea".

"I fucking hope so brat"- Yoongi finally said letting go of me and trying to contain his own laughter. At that point, my heart was about to burst out of my chest, not only because of the anxiety, but also because of Yoongi's slight touch, and our usual banter which just felt so natural and... perfectly fitting.

For the next few minutes, everyone fell silent, and so Namjoon and I took our chance, we knew we had to somehow make the atmosphere heavy by just looking embarrassed and staring at each other randomly. And so, I started visibly fidgeting and started at Namjoon longingly as he started "unknowingly" talking very closely to Jin about some random thing, Jin seemed confused to say the least about Namjoon's sudden closeness but seemed to get flustered none the less... Interesting. After me looking slightly pained because of the "sight" in front of me, Namjoon looked back at me, I looked down blushing as much as I could but I could feel Namjoon's gaze lingering on me; as soon as I looked up, I noticed that even if Hoseok and Jimin seemed to be talking very animatedly about a TV show they both watched, everyone else was shifting their gaze from Namjoon to me trying to figure out what the hell was going on, bingo. I looked down embarrassed one again and figured Namjoon was doing the same, at this point even I could tell that the atmosphere was growing tense, seems like Namjoon was a good actor after all. This weird gaze game kept going for a while, and it got pretty intense considering I could feel both Yoongi's and Jungkook's questioning looks over me at all times, especially the eldest's, who at this point probably had connected 1 and 2 and figured the person I "liked" was Namjoon.

"Uh"- Namjoon started with a somewhat broken tone, catching everyone's attention- "Hey, uh, Taehyung... You think we could talk for a moment, like, in private?"- Namjoon said looking at me but scratching his neck nervously.

"Oh... S- sure thing"- I said stuttering and looking back at Namjoon in embarrassment. We both stood up and started leaving the cafeteria, but I could definitely see the confused look on my friends' faces as I left.

Namjoon and I stayed outside for a good five or ten minutes, we didn't exactly want to give much room for questioning, so we waited until it was almost time to go back to class. In fact, Namjoon told me he was going to go ahead, but that I should go inside looking flustered as hell and drag Yoongi with me to tell him exactly what happened... Well, more like what supposedly happened, but whatever.

I did as I was told, I got in and could faintly hear the tuned- down chatter of my friends, who shut up as soon as they saw me. They all started at me in disbelief as I tried to avoid their gazes, and even if I was terrified of any of them asking anything before I could take Yoongi with me, I built up all my courage, hoping the acting classes had been worth something, and got close to my dear friend, whispered in his ear that I needed to talk to him right then, to which he simply nodded and stood up, leaving everyone else at that table looking utterly confused.

I dragged Yoongi out of the cafeteria while holding his wrist, feeling my heart thumping in my ears, and just as the bell rang, I managed to lead him into a janitor's closet while quickly muttering that we were going to have to skip class. As soon as we got inside, and before he could start bombarding me with all the questions he probably had, I took a deep breath and said while looking deeply into his beautiful eyes.

"I like Namjoon Hyung".
