Stranger feelings ✔️

#7

The first thing that I did after getting out from that suffocating atmosphere inside that testing room was to go back to my room and splash a handful of water onto my face. My nerves couldn't calm down after hearing that very unexpected news.

Staring back at my reflection in the mirror, the scenes of the High Ministers discussing on what to do with Taehyung kept on repeating like a broken CD.

Drying my face with a towel, I went back inside the room from the washroom. I was greeted by a gloomy Taehyung, with his head resting on his knees, curled up by the floor on the foot of my bed.

I went up to him and touched his firm shoulders trying to comfort him.

"It's alright. Till this day you haven't harmed me or anyone and I trust that you would not do so even in the future. We will make things better. Don't worry", I said.

"But Hana-""C'mon we have to get ready for our return journey," I said cutting him off.

I could feel the negative energy oozing out from him and I couldn't bear myself seeing him breaking down in front of my eyes.

"Taehyung, they gave us a second chance. I will be right by your side. You have nothing to worry about" I comforted him.

I could tell it was of no use by his fragile look. I knew he was broken inside. The pride inside him was shattered. I knew I had to start from the very beginning.

We could see Shenaya and Jungkook waiting by the entrance of the hotel for us. Once she spotted me, she waved her hands frantically for our attention.

By seeing our bleak looks, it was obvious for them that something unfavorable had happened. I nodded at Shenaya indicating her that I will explain everything to her lately once we reach our home back.

Maybe it was because of this thick gloominess that surrounded mine and Taehyung's behavior, everybody was silent as if accepting some unknown fate.

The moment we set our foot on Earth back, Taehyung went miles away from where I was as if I were having some contagious disease.

I could see him walking ahead of me trying to dodge my presence. Clearly one or two feet behind him, Jungkook was running to catch up with his pace. Jimin was also on their tail. I could see the other sharing curious looks.

Namjoon glanced at me raising his eyebrows questioningly.

I stopped on my track as of which Shenaya who was walking behind me, collided with me throwing me forward by the sudden force.

"Okay guys! We need to talk", I announced.
