Floating

Chapter 7

My breath stops for a moment. "Taehyung? Hi. What a surprise. I haven't seen you at all" I laugh nervously and forget for a moment that J Hope can't stand and almost falls out of my hand.

Taehyung runs towards me to help me catch J Hope when he slightly touches my hand. This feeling of warmth and electricity flowed through my whole body.

But he removes himself immediately and my heart resumes its normal rhythm.

Are we in a cheesy movie or what exactly happens here?

Suddenly he becomes so washed up and self-confident. I look at him to thank but I cannot stop staring at him. He has such an incredibly defined jawline.

Ywi no! Stop.

"Thanks, but I can take it from here." and try to smile at him nicely as if I didn't feel this tension between us.

He is wearing a white shirt with the last 3 buttons open. From his middle chest up to his neck I see a tattoo. I didn't noticed that before. But it looks incredibly good on him. Like everything else he wears.

"Are you sure? Because he is quite heavy" he tore me out of my thoughts.

"Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't carry him myself" I look at him angrily and am a bit offended.

He rolls his eyes "As you wish".

He turns around and disappears into the crowd of students and leaves me alone with my feelings that he just gave me.

"As you wish" I imitate him annoyed.

I grab J Hope and realize I'm not going to get very far. So I put him with his back agains a tree as support.

"Why am I here again?" I say my thoughts out loud.

"Because you like me. And Taehyung totally likes you as well " J Hope giggles.

I turn to him in shock, trying to realize what he has said. But when I looked over at him, he had already fallen asleep again. Just ignore it, Yves. He's drunk. I say to myself.

I'm starting to get annoyed and desperately looking for Yoongi. But he's nowhere to be seen. I decide to get up and look for either Yoongi or water myself.

"J Hope I'll leave you alone for a minute and come right back. I'm just going to get you some water." But he doesn't answer me. He doesn't have anywhere to go in that condition anyway. So I make my way to the coffee shop where everybody gets their drinks. It's still very crowded and the music is playing loudly. Still no Yoongi in sight.

I walk to the bar and hope to get something like water there. I lean against the bar and wait to be served. But when I looked through the crowd I saw Jennie. Of course she is here too. Where Taehyung is, she is too.

Speaking of him, I saw him walking towards her like he wasn't with somebody else a few minutes ago. She was standing on the other side of the bar with Wheein and another girl, laughing. That perfect smile. Taehyung puts one arm around her and looks at her thoughtfully for 5 seconds before he kisses her passionately. I look away immediately. A feeling of jealousy came up in me.

But why jealousy? I didn't know him and I didn't want him as well.

"What can I bring you, pretty one," a co-worker asked me.

"The pretty one would like some water," I replied annoyed.

He laughed and raised his hands slightly. "Easy. But I can bring you whatever you need" He winks at me and turns around.

I have to admit he is an handsome guy. He was also tall and his face looks so perfect and accurate. He was not as friendly distant as the rest of the Koreans here which felt refreshing. He also had a strong charming aura but not the same as Taehyung.

Why am I comparing everyone to Taehyung?

He brings me a bottle of water and winks again. "Here you go. Pretty. You are Yves right?" he giggles and looks me straight in the eyes.

Then I recognize him. Jungkook is one of Taehyung's friends whom I met briefly at the campfire. He has more tattoos than Taehyung but is in the same category of handsome. I just smile back and reply ironically "Yes I am but I need to go now. Thank you for the water" and go back towards the exit.

But I stop and turn around again to look at him. Taehyung and my eyes cross but his arm is still around Jennie. Without thinking I ran onto Jungkook.

"Hey!" I shout to him.

He turns confused as I grab his black shirt and kiss him. I press him against me as if the bar between us didn't exist. I can feel him open his mouth and that he wants more.

Yves, what are you doing? Stop?!

I let go and look confidently at Taehyung. But he isn't standing next to Jennie anymore. I look around confused but can't find him. Whatever game we were playing, I don't like it. He just brings out the worst of me.

That boy is not good for you. That's not you, Ywi. My conscience tells me

So I turn around without even looking at Jungkook, not recognizing myself or understanding what just happened.

My heart is racing, my cheeks are red with shame and the adrenaline is still flowing through my veins. If my parents found out about this. I'd be screwed. My mom always thought it was important to be friendly and chic and not to be the kind of girls that play stupid games with boys as nowadays. But that's exactly what I am now. A girl playing games with a boy which she didn't even know.

I run back to where I left J Hope. He is still asleep by that tree. Even when he is drunk he still looks so cute when he sleep. The way he sits there reassured me.

I was about to walk up to J Hope to hand him his water when a strong hand grabs me by my wrist.

Who grabs someone like that?

I turn around ready to give that person hell. But when I look back at that face, I forget everything I wanted to say.

"Why are you kissing my best friend?" he says in a quiet voice just not to make a scene. But his eyes and face are beaming with rage. He looks even better when he's angry. His jaw bones are so defined and his eyes are fiery.

His best friend? Damn, Ywi. You really messed up this time.

He still holds me tight when I finally manage to answer him. "It's not your problem what I do." I say to him with a confident voice like he usually does but this time I don't look away.

"...and since when do you care so much? You have a girlfriend" He looks away and I take the opportunity to tear myself away from him. I release my wrist with a movement from his hand.

Surprised, he looks at me and opens his mouth. "I don't care what you do. As long as it doesn't involve my best friends."

I am cooking with rage. Why does he play with me like that? Why does he stare at me in class and now pretend he doesn't care about me at all? I take a step towards him and am ready to have this argument. But when I wanted to start we hear someone calling.

"Ywi, what's going on?"

Oh God. Not that

Jungkook ran towards us as he tried to analyze the situation.
