Floating

Chapter 6

At once, Taehyung and I moved away from each other.

In just a second the fire between us was gone, as if nothing had ever happened.

Since he is almost 2 heads taller than me I look up to him and hope that he sees my confusion in me. I was confused but relieved at the same time, that he overplayed the whole thing and didn't look at me.

I notice I am starting to blush. I never usually get in such situations. It's not my style

Why is he coming in here and then comes this close?

But I try to push the thoughts aside because his girlfriend Jennie stands in front of us and the last thing I want is to have a fight with my room mate.

"So here I am. Shall we go then?" she asks sceptically and looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

Is that an announcement against me now?

Taehyung is suddenly so self-confident and cold again. I fell how he is creating a distance betwenn us again. Literally a distance when he walks towards Jennie and still doesn't look at me.

"Yes of course. See you Yves." He whispered my name and dragged it out a bit.

Am I imagining things?

After all, his girlfriend was standing next to him.

I don't understand this situation. I'm so confused, and I can't evaluate my feelings right now.

Jennie waves to me, takes Taehyung by his hand and closes the door behind them.

I turn and look down at my drawings and the feeling of 1 minute comes up again. How I had a hard time breathing and how I heard his heartbeat beat faster.

I have to stop thinking about him. A boy would be too much of a distraction now anyway. I'm here to study and not to find love. And anyway, he has a girlfriend so he's out of the question.

I turn back to my sorting and put the drawings away so I don't have to think about him anymore.

Then I decide to take a shower and get ready for bed. I am just way too exhausted to do anything else now. The idea of reading came to my mind.I just need some distraction.

Therefor I plug the headphones into my mobile and turn on my favourite song. I don't know why but listening to music while reading relaxes me so much.

I lay down in my freshly made bed and take out my Kindle. I notice how tired and exhausted I am from today's event when my eyes get heavy.

Not even 10 minutes later I fall asleep.

...

My belly is vibrating when I wake up frightened and reach for my phone.

J Hope calls me.

"Hey Ywi, what are you doing?" I can hear a lot of people in the background.

I take the phone away from my ear and look at my brightly display: 12:30.

"Um, sleeping?" I answer, tired and confused.

"Ywi. It's not even 1:00. Come to the coffee shop. There's another party tonight, and you're just missing." J Hope sounds a little drunk. He doesn't usually talk this loud.

"J Hope, are you drunk?" I ask him louder because I can hear the loud music in the background.

"Maybe, but that's not the point. So are you coming or not?" he asks so loud that I have to take my phone off my ear.

Why should I go there now? Of course I like J Hope and he is really funny but tomorrow I was actually going to look for a job.

"Ywi?" J Hope ripped me out of my thoughts.

"Yes, I'll be there in 30 minutes," I tell him and already regret it.

"Great,  so glad" without me being able to answer, he already hung up.

Why do I always let myself be convinced so easily? Still something I have to change here as well.

So I quickly get ready, put on my denim shorts and my favourite striped T-shirt with a V-neck. They simply suit me best.

I tie the front strands of my long hair backwards and just put some mascara on them so that I don't look like I was asleep 10 minutes ago.

As predicted, 30 min later I am at the coffee shop filled with drunk students.

"Ywiiii" I hear J Hope screaming from a distance.

Yoongi comes up to me "He is drunk" he tells me without greeting me.

"Yeah, I see" I respond, annoyed and incomprehensible why I came.

"I think he needs water. He always overestimates himself so easily" Yoongi  tells me as he pushes J Hope into my arms. He could hardly stand on his own legs anymore.

"I'll get him some water. Just stay here. I'll be right back." Yoongi says, smiles at me briefly and leaves.

So I stand alone surrounded by drunk students with my own drunk student in my arms who is already asleep.

Okay, why am I here again?

I look around and hope nobody sees us. Suddenly I see a familiar face from afar and those fascinating eyes.

Taehyung.

Shit!

"J Hope come on, let's walk to the tree, can you make it?" I ask him stressed out, hoping Taehyung hadn't seen us.

"Ywi, I'm pretty tired. These lights are making me very sleepy," he slurred.

Why? Why now?

I'm was trying hard to carry J Hope and me out of Taehyung's sight.

"Yves can I help you?" this familiar voice askes me and I feel how my heart starts beating faster.

Don't turn around. Just keep walking and pretend not to hear him.

"Yves?" the voice says out louder this time.

Crap!

Even cursing is something I should stop. This place really brings out the worst in me.

So I turn around and act surprised.

I look straight into his eyes. In Taehyung's eyes.
