LOVE LIKE HELL || BTS-V

CHAPTER NINE

[THIS IS AN EDITED PART]

"GIVING UP"

-----------

Part of V was unhappy after hearing Laurenette's honest revelation.

Laurenette noticed V's dejected look on his face.

So she asked him, "Are you okay?"

She giggled as she nudges him.

V wasn't answering her so she poked him harder.

"Are you sick?" She asked again.

Worrying, she lifted a hand and touched his forehead.

"Goodness, you're burning! Let's go back home." She told him.

She attempted to make him stand up but he resisted.

"N-no. I'm okay." He said.

"Okay my ass! How are you okay? You have a fever!" Laurenette scolded.

Truth is V hasn't been feeling well since yesterday. It can be because he has been restless for the past few days. He's been bothered about something he couldn't decipher himself. He's becoming cautious of what he was doing; about Laurenette.

"Come on! Get on your feet you dummy!" Laurenette grabbed his right arm and slung it over her shoulders as he helped him to stand up.

"What are you doing? I'm not injured." V asked her chuckling. "You're overreacting." He added.

"Are you sure you did not break a single bone after dancing my dance? Only professionals enough like me can do that. Why did you dance it?" Laurenette was trying to make him laugh.

And she did not fail. A childish chuckle escaped from V's mouth.

They both were walking back to the front yard where the party was being held at.

The distant noise from the party filled the air as there was a short silence between the two of them.

Laurenette began feeling conscious at the awkwardness of the atmosphere, realizing that what she's doing wasn't quite normal for her to do. They were only friends for a short time. She doesn't even know him entirely.

Laurenette's face was turning red. Their bodies were just too close. She could feel his body's heat. And his soft hand, and her other arm around his waist; she wanted to stop holding onto him. But he's just getting weaker and weaker that he started struggling to walk.

Laurenette glanced at V's uneasy look on his face.

"You look really sick." She muttered.

They arrived back at the party in no time.

Laurenette noticed how wild the party was. She knew that the people in the party were wild earlier too but this time they were wilder and noisier. Girls were shrieking as if they're watching a hot guy with abs bathing naked.

Laurenette ignore them and proceeded on taking V to where she thought Christine might be. She thought that she was probably at the mini stage.

"Let's just leave." V told her weakly.

"That would be rude. We must at least let her know we already left." Laurenette resisted.

Laurenette and V were few meters away from the mini stage, when she stopped as people began shouting.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

She paused as she felt a sudden shot of pain in her chest. Right before her eyes, Christine was wrapping her arms around Jungkook's waist.
