Nobody Cares (VxBTS FF)

Chapter 16

After getting out of the bathtub and draining the water, I put the clothes back on that I had been wearing earlier. I was still embarrassed about what happened earlier. Was Suga checking me out? Why was he just standing there, looking at me? I'm so confused.

Shaking my head, I try to clear the thoughts out of my mind, deciding not to think more about it and just to ignore it. Grabbing my wallet, I head downstairs and see Suga sitting on the living room couch. He looks up and smirks at me, causing me to blush. Gosh, why am I blushing?

"Ready to go?" he asks.

I nod my head, knowing that if I tried to talk then my voice would most likely crack. I need to spare myself from further embarrassment.

Suga grabs a face mask and hands one to me, I put the black cloth over my mouth to help hide my identity. I don't understand why we have to wear these dumb things whenever we go outside. It doesn't even really hide our identity. People can recognize us right away just by our hair, eyes, and build.

He grabs his car keys and heads out the front door, I follow close behind him. Climbing into the car, I look out the window, not wanting to look at Suga. He puts the keys in the ignition and starts up the car, and pulls out of the driveway.

It's silent for the first ten minutes of the ride. It was quite awkward, not going to lie.

Suga was finally the first to say something. "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable this morning..."

My eyes widen and I look at Suga in complete shock. The heckaroonie, did he just apologize??? He never apologizes! Is he on crack or something?

"U-Uh... It's okay..." I say and rub the back of my head.

He sighs and looks at me seriously. "I just... I care about you a lot Taetae, I know that's hard to believe but I really do. I know I treated you like crap and I'm so sorry... I just don't want anything to happen to you."

Gulping, I look away from his gaze, feeling completely embarrassed once again. Gosh, why does he have to do this to me? Why the heck is my heart pounding so quickly?

"I'm okay now, Suga hyung so don't worry, please. The hospital really did help... The reason why I took so much melatonin last night was because I didn't think I was going to fall asleep so I took a lot more." I lie.

He nods. "I believe you."

Sighing, I look back out the window with a heavy feeling weighing me down. Why do I feel bad about lying to him? I used to always do it without feeling bad, so why now? I can't possibly start to like him. There's just no way. After all the things he's done to me, he doesn't deserve my trust.

Just remember, Taehyung, no one cares about you in this world. He's just lying to you.
