Favor (KIM Taehyung)

Chapter 25

I can feel his gaze burning holes on my back. Which I ignore. Instead, I just continue eating.

"He's looking at you." 

I stop chewing and look at Lisa who's sitting across me. Then I shrug and continue eating.

"I think you should talk to him." I give her another shrug focusing more on my food. "I feel bad about what I did. It's all my fault." That's when I look up at her.

"It's not your fault, that guy forced you to talk."

"Yeah but-" I cut her off.

"Taehyung never had a chance with his father from the start, and he knew it. He has a habit of barking at people around him when he's mad and doesn't get what he wants, in this case, I was his victim. So he decided to blame me." I finish off.

"But still, just talk it out."

I huff and roll my eyes. "I'm not making first move, I'll only talk if he comes over to me-"

"Can we talk?" A voice all too familiar spoke. Without hesitation, I replied.

"No" Turned my head away from him. Lisa looked at me wide eyed.

"But you just said if he comes over-" I gave her a look which she instantly closed her mouth.

"Stop being childish Raehyun-ah, I need to tell you something." Annoyance was clear in his voice now. Good, I love annoying him.

"What class do you have next Lisa?" I ask in which she doesn't reply. She hesitates looking between me and Taehyung. She looks like she'd rather be anywhere but here. She's not the only one.

"I'm not asking nicely anymore, get up and follow me." I hate how the change in his voice instantly affected me. I rolled my eyes and got up from my seat heading out first making him follow me instead. 

Now don't get this the wrong way, it's not that i'm scared of him, I got up mainly because i don't want more attention from the students. And maybe, somewhere deep, deep, very deep inside of me misses him.

I stop when I reach a place where its empty and turn to face him. I cross my arms and give him a 'go ahead what are you waiting for' look. He sighs.

"You've been staying at Jungkook's place?" 

I raised my eyebrow. That's it? That's all he wants to tell me? I was expecting an apology.

"Is this really the time to get jealous? Don't you have something else to tell me?"

He looked up at me. "You had no reason to, you have a home." He talks as if I didn't even ask him something.

I scoff. "Why are you making it sound like I've been staying there for weeks, It's been only a day. Plus you're the reason I left in case you don't remember."

Yes, I did stay at Jungkook's place last night. After the whole argument, he came after me and offered me to stay at his place instead of going home. He said it was better than sleeping alone in an empty house. 

He opened his mouth to say something but stopped and looked away from me. "I-I'm sorry, anger got the best of me. It's not your fault, I shouldn't have gotten you into this anyways."

There was the apology I wanted.

"So what happens now?"

"It's over, I just have to wait much longer."

I know this meant a lot to him. He thought he could ditch marriage and reach his goal but failed miserably.

I stayed there watching him. Now that I think about it, I feel like I've missed him more than I thought I did. Because I know I can't stay mad, I reached out and wrapped my arms around his torso which he did the same. It's like we weren't even fighting like two minutes ago. 

I leaned on his chest and stood there comfortably. "So what did mother say?" 

"I haven't talked to her." 

I looked up at him.

"Why?"

"I feel bad." I frown.

"You're leaving? Why?"

"I'm tired, I don't feel like wanna be at school right now." I tell Lisa.

"Wow, I wish I could go home as soon as I felt tired." She says sarcastically.

"I gotta use these opportunities since mom's not home you know."

It's not like I'm lying. I am feeling sick a little. So I grabbed my bag and left walking straight home. 

Although living with Taehyung was fun, I did miss my home.

When I reached the house, I saw an unknown car in our drive way which made me frown. Is mom back? She would have called me if she did though.

I open the door and instantly heard sounds. they were giggling and talking and haven't realized I came in. 

I go in with furrowed eyebrows. now I know mom is home since i can hear her voice. I head towards the kitchen and stop in my tracks. 

"What's going on here?"
