AND THEN YOU CAME

3 회

I spend my whole day in a bad mood today. I don't know what happen, but my dad's words keeps on lingering in my head.

I really wish i could rebel sometimes. So many people out there do, to fight for their rights. Sometimes, parents aren't always right. Sometimes, people like me also need their own freedom.

But of course my dad won't understand that.

"Nam Jieun!"

I blink when somebody snaps their fingers in front of my face, drags me back into reality.

Taehyung looks at me in annoyance. "I've called you three times!"

I roll my eyes. "And you're starting to look like my dad! Why do you always get pissed at whatever i do?"

Hearing that, Taehyung's expression softens. "Sorry."

I scoff, decided to ignore him and eat my lunch instead.

He knows really well that i don't like strict person, and yet he's always like that when he's with me.

I mean.. we can't help, it's his personality right? I totally understand that. But with the condition of him knowing how my dad treats me everyday, can't he at least try to be gentler towards me? I've had enough shit in the house, not anymore with him. Especially not today, when i'm not having the mood.

"Did something happen?" Taehyung asks, his voice is way calmer than before.

I only shake my head, the lump in my throat starts to emerge.

"If it's because of tonight's dinner, i can call him to let you off." he suggests.

I sigh, lifting up my head and meet his worried eyes.

"He did let me off today, but not next time." i pause. "I hate talking about him. Can we just.. talk about other stuff?"

He nods immediately. "Fine. Sure."

Just then, Namjoon and Jungkook come to our table, bringing their own trays of food.

"Hi! Mind if we join?" Jungkook asks, a big grin on his face.

Taehyung looks at me before he dares to speak. When i'm sensitive, he knows i dislike being teased. The case is, that's what Namjoon and Jungkook do everyday. Teasing me. As if i were their ten years old little sister.

I look up lazily. "Just sit. But please okay? I'm not in the mood to joke around today."

Namjoon and Jungkook nod in silence. Namjoon takes over the seat beside Taehyung, and Jungkook sits beside me.

"Do you want to talk about it noona?"The younger guy asks me, sincerely concerned.

Yes, Jungkook is younger than us, but because of his extremely smart brain, he got to grade-skip. Which made him entered the university in the same year as us. Unless Namjoon who entered a year before. And correct, as annoying as he is, Jungkook is actually a very caring boy. He'd be perfect if only his childlike behavior is not there in the first place.

"No." I shake my head lightly. "Talk about other stuff instead."

"Well, okay." Namjoon claps his hands. "Do you guys have practice after the class today? Let's have some fun."

All of us look at Namjoon. Taehyung and Jungkook are in the basketball team, and i'm in the cheerleader team. And yes, we have practice today. So we nod simultaneously, making him groans in disappointment.

"Why are you guys so busy?" Namjoon, the art club member, complains. "What about after practice?"

"I think we'll be so tired by then." Taehyung shakes his head, totally disagree with the idea.
