The Regret:The Sequel: Lies, Lust and Betrayal

~Chapter Thirty Two~

(Taehyung's POV Past Continued)

Hi guys!!! I know that I've been putting so much attention to Taehyung's pov but in order to get an understanding of the story, you'll have to see why he is the way he is now and how it affects Y/N and Hoseok. I promise you, we'll get back to Y/N POV and continue on with the story. Just a reminder that this is ENTIRELY fictional and some parts of the story are based on my imagination, movies I've watched, and what I've experienced or have witnessed in my life. I've never been in a relationship and such but I relate to Taehyung in many ways but not entirely. Anyways, please enjoy the story and I always welcome feedback!

I spent the rest of the day with the members going over the schedule and what each person had to work on to promote our group. We are all very happy with our debut but we also had a hard time trying to figure what the next steps are after promoting our group. What happens after the free concert? Who was in charge of our social media? Who manages what? It was all so overwhelming but Namjoon was there to make sure that we didn't give up. But for some odd reason I just couldn't stop thinking about Y/N. She was the first person in a long time to be brave enough to approach me without the slightest bit of judgement. We had only met a couple of times but never really had a full blown conversation among each other. I've never seen anyone light up for an anime either. Most of the girls I've come across didn't like it that much or thought it was childish. I didn't think I would come across a girl with similar interests.....well not in a very long time.

After about three months trying to promote our group in Hollywood, we were only able to recruit a small amount of people to come to our show. Although the show was just about a month away we were still having a hard time reaching a certain audience. During the three months, I had the opportunity to start talking to Y/N more. The language barrier was still there but I was slowly becoming more confident in myself. I found myself acting like a total goofball in front of her, pulling pranks on her, hanging out at the arcade in Santa Monica pier and sharing snacks with her. She even got promoted to being our full time assistant manager. Every day I waited anxiously to see her just because of how happy she was making me. She became part of the Big Hit family but most of all she became someone I never wanted to let go. 

One night when the members and I were up watching a movie, Y/N had made a surprise visit. I was dying to see her and my heart fluttered frantically once I saw her at the door. All of the members seemed happy to see her, while Yoongi sat on the couch dosing off like a cat. She came in, smiling with a bag full of snacks and about four brand new mangas in her hands. She sat down to join us and gave each of us snacks while we watched the movie. 

She pats me on the shoulder to get my attention and sits in a comfortable position "Here you go, Taehyung! I got these for you!"

I unfold my legs and tucked them beneath the low rise table and took them "Oh! F-f-for me?" I point to myself, eyes wide open

"Yeah! I bought these for you!" 

"Umm...thank you...noona!" 

"You're welcome Taehyungie!" I don't know what happened but the moment I heard her call me Taehyungie, there was this sense of warmth inside me. A spark had lit up. The only woman, besides my grandmother, who used to call me that was Jisu. But in those moments Jisu was no longer someone I remembered. It was then that I found the woman of my dreams and that woman was Y/N noona. 

One night we went back to Santa Monica pier to celebrate our success after being in America for several months. More fans started to recognize us more and soon enough we were giving autographs left and right. We were all walking on the pier enjoying the sounds of music playing, seeing and hearing people scream as they rode on the roller coaster and the smell of burgers and fries coming from all directions. While the rest of the members were busy playing games and taking pictures of the beach, I spot Y/N standing at the edge of the pier admiring the night sky and waves crashing beneath us. I walk over and blind her by covering her eyes and whispering "Guess who?" She immediately chuckles and says "I know it's you Taehyung!"

"Ahhh you knew!?" I said, pretending to feel hurt and defeated and uncover her eyes. 

She turns over and smiles and walks over and stops right in front of me."Stop it! You've done this many times" She places her hands on her waist and gives me a playful smirk "Besides I know the sound of your deep voice very well."

I look down feeling sort of clumsy for playing that prank for probably the 100th time. My hair blew against the breeze and I comb through it with my fingers before looking at her "You know me so well, noona." I chuckle "Next thing you know we'll end up as a married couple" I joked

She flicks her writs with flatter " Stop! We can't. I'm in a committed relationship with my job. You know I can't cheat!" She says jokingly.

"Aww" I pout like a puffer fish "Looks like we both are" I shrug

I cleared my throat and brush my hair with my hand again "Noona?"

"Yeah?" She asks sweetly as she returns back to the pier. Her attention draws back to the sky. The breeze was starting to die down and the sound of the waves crashing beneath us was becoming louder.

I gulped hard before standing next to her "Can I tell you something?"

"Of course! You know you can tell me anything"

"Well...I think you're a great woman. I feel like I can talk to you about anything" My forehead was becoming sweaty even though the night was so cool. "Besides the members, you brought light back into my life. You didn't give up on me when I wanted to."

"That's really thoughtful of you. I'm glad I was able to bring light back into your life. You guys are the reason why I love my job"

"You're the reason why I love you" Those exact words had slipped out without a thought. It was at that moment I wanted to tell her I was in love with her and kiss her on those lips I've dying to kiss. But because of the loud breeze she didn't hear me. I was mad.

"What!?" She calls out. A few seconds later the winds and breeze had died down and the members and staff were already heading towards us. Why now?

"Umm. Uh I-I-I said look at the beautiful view"

She looks out at the view and smiles "It is, isn't it?"

After the night at the pier we dropped noona home and then headed back home. I went straight into our shared dorm Everyone else had already headed to their shared rooms to get to bed but for me I spent most of the night wishing I had said what I wanted to say.

After a while I found myself writing secrets poems to her and how much she meant to me but I still was not brave enough to tell her about my feelings for her. Instead, I'd give her little gifts to show it. Her face always lit up whenever I give her something and in return she would give me a hug and telling me how thankful she was. Seeing her happy became my main priority and if anyone dared made her unhappy I was there to make sure she was happy. 

It wasn't until one day when I started to notice how close Hoseok and Y/N had become. They were inseparable. I didn't really think much of it at first because our relationship with her was very close. Y/N and I would still text and catch up on TV shows and anime while still doing her job. We had about another couple of months before we head back to Korea. We had just come back from promoting our last free show in LA. Jin was busy making lunch while everyone else watched tv or taking a nap on the floor. I was on the floor on my phone communicating with fans on social media. I overheard Hoseok asking Y/N a question but I was too busy on my phone. It wasn't until I heard Hosoek as her to read and translate something in Korean. All I remember was Y/N reading "I think you're beautiful and hard working" and "Will you go out with me?" As soon as I saw Hoseok shout and giggle with triumph that's when I knew that I should've just done what I did.

Why didn't I just confess?...
