BUBBLEGUM (A Taehyung Fanfiction)

Chapter 26: Would you dare?

TAEHYUNG'S POV

"JIN HYUNG!!!!" I yelled out as soon as I entered our hotel room. A cute head popped out from the other side of the room.

"He's not home yet hyungie. Waeyo?" Kookie asked.

"I-I SAW--" I paused and bit my lip. "--a c-cat." I blurted out and grimaced after I realized what I've just said. Arghhhh Taehyungie pabo!

"A cat?" He looked at me like I've grown another head. "Really?"

"Y-Yeah." I faked laughed. I didn't really mean to lie. It's just that I didn't think it's the right time to let him know, especially if I'm not sure if it's really her.

"Where did you see it?" He asked. His left eyebrow raised as if he's intrigued of my answer.

"Just outside." I replied. With that he walked my way, passing by me, towards the door. He opened it and looked outside, checking from side to side.

"I don't see any cat. Hyung, are you okay?" He asked, seemingly concerned. "The word 'outside' is too vague of an answer and I don't think seeing a cat is the true reason why you shout the name of Jin hyung like a chicken whose about to lose their head off." He added.

"Ahh! It's j-just a cat, I swear. It's just too beautiful for it's white fur. Haha." I told him, trying to calm my breathing to avoid being too suspicious. "I saw it at a park a bit far away from here." I added. I swear, I feel like sweating buckets. Kookie I love you, but damn please stop asking!

"Hyung I think the scorching heat here in L.A. has made you gone mad. You should rest. You and Jin hyung has been out the whole day. You must have been tired!" He told me. He ushered me to the bathroom, pushing me with all his strength. Damn you muscle pig!

"Here take a bath. I'll give you a change of clothes, just wash up already to clear your head." He pushed me inside and slammed it close. I let out a sigh; shaking my head at what just happened. Since I'm in the bathroom I might as well wash up since I feel icky all over.

As warm water pour down on me, my thoughts trail back to what had happened earlier today. My emotions build up as I started to reminisce. Tears and water mixed together as I silently cry out in sorrow, wishing the past of how we used to be can be brought back by reality.

Emotionally drained, I changed out into some clothes that Jungkook gave me then walked out of the bathroom, going straight to bed. I closed my eyes and all I can see was her face, confused and unaffected, asking me if I knew her. I do know who she is. She's the girl I fell in love with, so how can I forget? It's not easy to fall out of love when you madly and deeply love that person. Yet, she forgot about me. Did she? Really?

Still being tormented by my thoughts, I can't find myself to find some sleep. I heard the door open and close, then a soft click sounded of as the person who entered locked the door.

"Taehyung?" The person asked. My eyes fluttered open and my vision caught Jin hyung standing beside my bed with a worried expression on his face. "Hey, are you okay?" He added.

I sat up on the bed and played with my hands, unable to look at him in the eye. "H-Hyung, I saw her."  I finally replied in an almost inaudible voice.
