Chapter 8- Flute

MIDNIGHT

I was still awake. Laying idle on my bed,Thinking about yeri and seulgi.

This is so frustrating. I really need to find out what's going on.

While I was drowned in my own thoughts I heard the sound of a... Flute

I sat upright. Again?
Who is this person who dares to play a flute at midnight without having the fear of being caught?

I was gonna get up but my thoughts stopped me again.
No no no. I can't go out at this time. It's too risky.

'but you want to'

A voice at the back of my head spoke.

'But what if the mysterious music hides a dangerous warning? Maybe to stay away?' I spoke to it.

'and what if it hides all the answers you want ? All the strange happenings which are only witnessed by you? Don't you want all those answers? Answers that can solve this big mystery inside your head'

...

Fine

So I decided to step out.
Cautious and alert, I followed the music.

It was coming from the roof?
I don't think I can go there. If I get caught I'll be dead. I thought for a moment and then shaked my head .

I HAVE to find it. It's now or never.
I walked ahead, not caring about the consequences. Just as I passed the great and wide balcony of our school which was situated between the girls and boys dormitories , I halted. I peeked behind a pillar . It was him. He was standing near the railing and gazing up at the cloudless night sky- Taehyung

The music of the flute ringing in my ears stopped immediately. I wanted to find it but something was holding me back when I saw Taehyung.

'Oh forget it' I thought to myself and then slowly walked up to him and gazed at his face.

When I saw him , just one word came into my mind, Perfection. His dark and beautiful eyes looked like crystals in the night, his bangs covering his forehead showed his cuteness. The structure of his face and his jawline....I sighed. How can someone be so.. handsome..? But woah woah woah hol'up people, this doesn't mean that i'm falling for him or something okay?

"Will you keep staring at me like that the whole night?" He said, still not taking his eyes off the view. My eyes grew big in realisation and my cheeks turned a light shade of pink I don't know the heck why.

"I-i was not s-staring..."
Then why the heck am I stuttering.

"Oh really?"
He asked and turned his gaze towards me. I made a disgusting face to show him that I was not affected.

"Yeah , I was just wondering about something.."

"Sure"

Silence filled the atmosphere while we both gazed at the sky. Suddenly he spoke,

"Why are you lingering here at night?you know it's risky."

"Then what about you huh?" I scoffed.

"Answer my question first" he said eyeing me.

Should I tell him the reason?
No
He's already untrustworthy for me.
"I...came here because I couldn't sleep. What about you?"I asked.

"I come here to gaze at the stars." He answered " Someone told me that when your loved ones pass away , they become stars and watch over you from heaven." There was pure sorrow in his eyes, as I looked at him. Wait...how did we switch to emo talk?
"Did you lose a loved one?"I asked him

"My family. I lost everyone" He turned the other way because he couldn't show me that he was crying i suppose..

"Oh..I'm sorry....." I said, but then a thought crossed my mind. wait..he lost his family, how does anyone not know about this? When realisation hit me, I smacked his shoulder and frowned in anger. He turned around, tears in his eyes but not because of crying...

"HAHAHAHAHA" He roared with laughter and I only glared at him.

" You had me for a second!" I shouted feeling like giving him another smack. I had met his parents last year in the parent teacher meeting and now that he said that they passed away I was literally shocked.

"It's okay, People like you can get fooled" He laughed and flicked my forehead as I groaned in pain and embarrassment.

When he calmed down he sighed, " Well, I didn't lie entirely you know" he said and i looked at him again doubting if I should trust the next thing he says or not.

"My grandma passed away last year.." he looked down and sighed again as i studied him closely to look for any signs of mischief in his eyes but there were none anymore, there was slight sorrow.

How should I comfort him now..

I cleared my throat

" Tommorow we're going to get our badminton tryout result." I croaked out to lighten the heavy atmosphere
"I know" He said, now turning to look at me

"This time I have to get in the team" I said , ignoring the smile creeping on his face again
"You won't" he smirked
There , he became his own self again, I haven't seen a more bipolar person in my life.
Nevertheless I still got offended.
"Yah! Stop saying that!"
"What? That you won't get on the team?"
"You said it again!"
"So what, it's the truth.

I swear I'm gonna punch him now.
"Stop provoking me" I said glaring at him

"I'm not provoking you. You're provoking yourself."

"You really like teasing me don't you" I raised my eyebrows at him.

"The sad truth. Yes." He answered.

"I hate you . Jerk."

"I hate you more dumb head"
My mouth fell open.

"You did not just say that"

"I did"
I gave up, while he was just grinning like an idiot
"You're unbelievable!" I shouted at his face.
"And you're unpredictable!" he retorted.

"Bye ! I should rather sleep than argue with you!"

"I never called you . You came here by yourself."

I got caught off guard

"Well then... Maybe I did! Now bye!!"

I stomped back to my dorm like a little kid.

"bye pabo..." Taehyung said, smiling fondly.

He smiled.

Cringey but Awwwww..
