Blinded (BTS V)

Chapter 34

"Where are you planning to go now?" Jimin asked.

We are all now in my apartment, for a sleepover tonight. Jimin, Miso and Lee are currently watching a TV show while I'm preparing myself to meet Rachel.

"I want to meet Rachel for awhile. I need to clear things up between me and her" I told them.

"Can I come?" Lee asked.

I shook my head, "I think it's better if I can talk to him personally".

She nodded her head with a slight pout making me chuckle. I walked to her and pecked her forehead from above her.

"It won't be long. I'll be back right after" I told her.

"Call us if anything" Jimin said and I nodded my head.

I took my phone, wallet and car keys with me before I headed to the door to wear my sneakers.

"I'll be going now" I said.

After that, I stepped out of the apartment and closed the door before I started to head down to my car. I unlocked my car and entered it right away before starting the engine and wear the seatbelt. Then, I drove off to a cafe that Rachel and I had agreed to meet up.

After a few stops at the traffic lights, I finally reached the cafe. I parked my car at the side road and turned off the engine before stepping out from the car and locked it. I fixed my hair a little before looking at cafe, noticing her at the table beside the big window. I took a deep breath before walking to the cafe. I pushed the door and stepped into the cafe, walking all the way to Rachel.

"Hey" I greeted her before I sat down in front of her.

"Hey" She replied, "You're here".

"Yea" Was all I said.

She plays with her fingers, "You want anything?".

I shook my head, "It's okay. This won't take long".

She nodded her head slowly, "Okay".

There was a silence between us, no one dare to speak up first to clear the thing. I looked at her and saw her debating if she should start first or not. I sighed.

"I'm sorry" I said.

She looked at me in surprise, "What?".

"I'm sorry.. for using you. I'm sorry for asking you to be my fake girlfriend when I know you have feelings on me. I should have not done that" I apologised to her.

She smiled, "It's okay".

"Lee and I are a thing now. We solved things between us when we coincidentally met in Daegu. She had told me everything and I did too. I cleared the misunderstanding between us and with Jimin too. So I thought it is better for me to clear our things too" I said.

"O-Oh" She said, "I'm happy.. for you".

"Rachel" I called her. She looked up at me, eyes glistening.

I sighed, "I'm sorry. I can't return your feelings. My love for Lee is so strong since I was in high school and I can't look at anyone else more than just a friend. My heart only has her and will always longing for her".

She shook her head, "You don't have to apologise, Tae. It's fine! Feelings should no be forced. It's your heart, you choose who you want to be with".

I nodded my head upon hearing her respond and both of us fell into another silence. I don't know what more should I say.

"I'm going back to America" She said, out of the blue.

I looked at her, "You're going back?".

"Yea.. There's nothing for me here anymore, so I think it's better for me to go back home and live my life like how I used to" She said with a slight smile.
