i'm fine

taehee's pov

after the incident, i cried myself to sleep that night.

i went to breakfast the next morning. my family and i were seated on one end of our table.
(a/n: reminder that everything inside their house was massive. so they did this so they can talk with each other like normal families would :) )

my parents and my brother were chatting and munching happily while i was just moving my food around the plate. i only answered with what was necessary as i was not in the mood to talk.

everyone were looking at me with their utmost concerns but they did not dare to ask if i was okay as they know what the answer would be,"괜찮아[i'm fine]"

my mother looked at my brother and they seem to read each other's mind.

"taehee-ya i'll drive you to school!" he said cheerily.

after entering the car, i sat myself quietly on the passenger seat and my brother drove. it was awfully quite before he broke the silence.

"hey, what's with the mood?" my brother asked. he was making it hard for me to just answer with a short 'i'm fine'.

i knew he would realise and ask this question.

"그냥[nothing]" i replied.

"c'mon taehee-ya~ everyone knows that you don't usually have this mood. you're awfully down today! i'm super worried about you! tell me what's up or i won't start driving and you' be in trouble for being late!" my brother blabbed. that annoying kim taehyung.

"i'll stay at home then." i said looking at my lap while i fiddling with my skirt.

"you know mom'll never let you." he insisted.

"i'll say i'm sick or something." i answered.

he heaved a long sigh.

"please taehee, tell me. i'm your big brother i ought to know. i just want to help you. please." i could feel his eyes burning through my skull with such intensity that i shrunk back to my seat even more.

i couldn't tell my brother. i'm scared that he'll get too worried or he'll do something too extreme against it. i don't want him to do anything to beomgyu.

"i.. i just don't want you to worry about me too much." i looked back into his eyes.

"it's no biggie really. i'll forget about it pretty soon. you don't need to worry, oppa." i told him reassuringly.

his warm eyes were searching through mine for any signs of me lying. but in the end he gave in anyway.

so he drove me to school silently. lost in thought maybe. before i went out i kissed his cheeks goodbye. "you're the best brother in the world!" i smilled at him and walked to school. as usual i was dropped a few blocks from school.

every step was heavy. i didn't want to deal with any of this shit. but i just have to face this injustice crap. i heaved a sigh before walking into my school gates.

people were already staring at me. guess the rumors had spread. i tried so hard to mind my own bussiness and walked to my locker. on my way i saw beomgyu and his friends.

immediately i ducked into the crowd not wanting them, him to be exact, to notice my existence in the corridor.

reaching my locker, i saw in horror what happened to it. it was vandalised with words not too friendly. my mouth was agape and my heart fell. i guess now the whole school's against me.

i looked around. no sight of yuna tho. probably stayed at home after what she did to herself. i shook my head in disbelief and continued my day.

the day went as usual not including the intense and accusing stares from everyone. i spent lunch with my friends in a seperate table from txt.

i can't bear myself from looking at him. it just breaks my heart even more. i can't bear with the other stundents stare towards me also.

i made a personal reminder to spend my lunch on the rooftop. where he was not present and i was alone and free. i was not hungry anyway, so what's the point of lunch.

like what i did earlier this morning during breakfast, i pushed my food from one side of the plate to the other. i didn't have the appetite.

jungah and jieun were both looking at me so weirdly. pretty sure they already knew what happened yesterday.

"why haven't you said anything to us since morning? did you suddenly lost your voice?" jungah asked half jokingly.

"shh! you know she's not in the mood!" jieun shushed her.

"we knew about the rumor but we didn't believe any of those bullshit that those people say about you." jieun smilled at me comfortingly.

my eyes started to water and i ran out to the ladies' washroom. i didn't want any other student to witness my breakdown.

my friends followed closely behind me.

i finally reached the washroom and bawled my eyes out.

"there, there taehee-ya, let it all out." they both rubbed my back comfortingly as i rested my head on their shoulders as we formed a circle with them hugging me resulting in the unflattering wet blotch of tears to  form on both of their uniforms.

after i calmed down, they patted my back.

"awh mann! now my shirts wet." jungah joked to lighten up the mood.

i snorted. and they laughed. while i was laughing while crying. how i love this girl and her spontaneity! she really lifted my mood.

"so what really happened taehee-ya?" jungah asked half concerned and curiously.

i told them everything.

"oh that bitch is an awfull one! how can she do this to you?!" jieun swore. i think today was the most i heard her swear.

i nodded. and beomgyu believed her.

i told them the exact words he said and how it hurt. my eyes started to water again.

my voice cracked and i cried again when they comforted me again.

"i'm gonna teach him a lesson." jungah was about to zoom out of the restroom when i pulled her back and shook my head.

"don't. it'll make matters worse." i told her beetween hiccups.

"you ought to tell hyunjin!" jieun told me.

i guess i will.

"but not now. he'll act out of his impulses." i was worried that he'll pick a fight with beomgyu. and i wouldn't like that.
