My Senior Lover - KTH ff

Chapter 2 - Why Him?

"What?", you half yelled at her.
"I thought, you'd fit together. I know he can be...", she quietly stopped her sentence, looking for a word to describe Taehyung's personality.
"Uhm... Intimidating! Ah Yes, intimidating" You looked at her.
'Intimidating's an understatement'
"Please, I think you can do this. Just don't say something rude, he's very violent at times, and Everyone's terrified of him. He only has two friends."

You looked at her. She was desperate. Desperately trying to help him and it made you feel bad. Maybe you could help after all.
"How do we help him?"
Yeri asked.
"Try maybe to befriend him. Don't throw yourself over him, just carefully get a little closer." MinJi smiled.
"After you went to get uniforms, I checked on him and asked and he agreed. So what do you say?" She looked at you. You looked over to Kai, he carefully nodded yes. You knew it was right to trust him, Kai's the mature type. You nodded.
MinJi's smile that disappeared for some time returned, even brighter than before, and made her pretty eyes disappear. "Thank you so much. I'll go get him." She bowed and left the room.

MinJi came back with the tall man.
'But why would he choose us? Didn't he hate-. Oh, this isn't going to end up good.'. "You ready, Tae?" MinJi softly asked him, touching his shoulder.
Her action made Taehyung flinch. He grabbed her small hand, squeezing it. The tiny veins became noticeable. Her fingertips began drastically turning blue, as she let out a not so loud scream.

First now you reacted, you quickly tried to release her hand from his firm grip. Finally, he let go.
"Next time, don't touch me. I hate it." He looked mockingly down at her like she was the piece of gum, that he had stepped on. "But let's get going." He said with that expressionless face.
You mouthed at your friends to follow him as he took off.

"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" She looked at you, quietly sobbing.
You carefully covered her hand with both your hand. She was trembling.
She tried to fake a smile, forcing the tears to stop, but they didn't. They kept dropping, telling the people around us her pain.
"You should go before Tae realizes you're missing. Also, thank you for your help."
You quickly hurried over to your friends.

You left the room, only to realize that you didn't know where they went.
'Well, this is awkward.'
"Where were you doing?" You looked at your right.
'Yep, there they are.'
Taehyung looked at you with crossed arms. "I was... Breathing?" He sighed at the bizarre answer. He grabbed your shoulder and pulled you along.
'Tsk, Hypocrite'.

-

Taehyung had pretty much shown you everything by now.
"And here's the outside area for P.E." he opened the familiar glass door.
You quickly recalled it as where you slammed Taehyung right in the face.
Mark started running outside. "Mark!" Kai raised his voice at him. Yeri ran right after him, smiling and grinning.
"Yah! Stop doing that!" Kai looked at Taehyung, before walking off to catch the idiots embarrassing him in front of an older individual.

'This can't be true. I'm right next to someone who hates me. Wait, is he staring at me?'

-

Taehyung POV.

'Is she supposed to look this ugly?

The government should give her free surgery. A face like that could be self-esteem wrecking.'
I realized I was staring at her.
I could see her getting aware and she was getting uncomfortable.
I liked seeing her being uncomfortable and ashamed.
'She deserves it.'
I started getting nearer. She didn't like it...
Taking a step closer, as she took one backward.
'I was scaring her. Who the hell does she think she is?'
Something in me made violently irritated just by looking at her.
She was just so disrespectful earlier

I analyzed everything about her face.

'But what is that?'

'Is that tears?'

-

Y/N POV.

You felt very anxious because of him.
The K-Dramas you'd watch, it would always be cute when a guy stared at a woman like that. In reality, it's really uncomfortable and weird.

Your thoughts disappeared as you felt him going closer. His actions made you cringe. 'Has he heard of a thing called a limit?'. You slowly started to go backward. You'd be lying if you said you weren't frightened by him.
What he did to MinJi was inhuman and cynical.

Besides, he didn't seem like the type that would mind hitting someone, even girls.
You kept taking steps backward.
'Couldn't he see how you had it?'.
You felt frozen. You still had space to escape before you hit the wall but being in the moment, made you freeze.
You felt the tears, about to burst out.
"You're gonna cry?" He laughed.
It wasn't that typical fun laughter.
It was that mocking 'you look weak' laughter, that you recognized instantly.

You felt your back sense the wall.
You finally looked at him in the eyes.
"Why are you like this?"
"You were a complete brat earlier. I don't like you, Y/N."

'Why are you listening to him? just push him, you're strong enough.'

And so you did. You used all your strength to thrust him to the cold floor. Opening the glass door and running out to your friends.

"Y/N? Where were you?" The brown-haired girl asked?
"I want to go home."
"Can we do that?" Her gentle eyes laid upon Kai.
"I think we can. I mean, if Taehyung's done showing us the school, then I guess we can" he looked around.
"Where is he anywa-"
"He's done! Let's just go." You begged.

-

Laying on your bedroom. It was approximately 1:45 AM.
Gracefully, petting the big fluffy st. Bernard, laying beside you. The bed's comfort wasn't there anymore.
The incident with Taehyung kept replaying over and over.

'I've never been the insecure type, the one who'd second guess themselves frequently. I've always known my limit and been able to say "stop".
But the way he looked at me. Made me doubt everything. He didn't do anything, yet I felt so helpless.
The reason I love sports is that it makes me feel stronger and appreciated.
I...'.

That certain thought made you jump up.
"I am gonna make him respect me, I'll show him!" A hopeful smile crept up on your lips. Your eyes shifted over the dog, in the midst of leaving your room, due to your disturbance.
"Byeol? Don't leave me. Get back here!" You whined, falling forward in a failed attempt to reach for Byeol.
He glanced one more time, before leaving your room.

"Other people live here!" You recognized the voice as your 4th oldest brother.

Being the only daughter and living with 5 stepbrothers could have its hardship.

Your plan was easy: stay away from Taehyung but if he tries on something, it's a fatality kick to the groin. You were smiling even brighter now, as you got up and started walking towards the bathroom.
