Not Your Sasaeng || TAENNIE FF

📎Meet Up

J E N N I E

"How did he get my number? And why does he want to see me?" Jimin texted me earlier and he said he wanted to meet up at the café where I'm working. He didn't text the reason though. "But what if it's another crazy dude who used Jimin's name?" Right.. I should be careful or that Taehyung will scold me again.

I went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for me and my brother. I was actually surprised to see the living room clean. I guess Taehyung did all the work last night. I even made a scene.. I'm embarrassed.

"Noona." Beomie called. He looked ready to leave with his bag on his back. "I had a talk with hyung last night. Be good to him, arasso?" They talked? About what? "Don't ask me what and just do it. He's a nice guy."

"Wahhh.. You're siding with him though I'm your noona. What did that guy promise you? A trip to Jeju? A computer? A car?"

"He promised me more important than that so don't give him a hard time. You're lucky you have someone like him."

"Hehe..you jealous?" He rolled his eyes at me and sat down. "I'm also happy that I'm friends with him. You didn't have to tell me."

"Why can't you just date him?" I stopped and immediately looked at him. Does he even know what he's saying? "You look good together."

"Beomie.. I have my reasons and you know them too. Yes, Taehyung's a great and kind guy. He has the looks, the voice, the height. He's almost perfect but.. I can't just tell my heart to get over my first love."

"It's because your heart is closed and it will only open for your first love. You're not even sure if he's coming to see you again. Why don't you give hyung a chance? It seems like he likes you but he just keeps it to himself."

"What are you talking about? Taehyung doesn't like me. He sees me as his friend. That's it. You know what? Stop thinking about my personal life and focus on yours."

"You stopped me from courting Ryujin. What should I do?"

"I'll tell you the truth Beomie. You're too young to go through that shit. I don't want you to get hurt because of this. You're just seventeen. There's a perfect timing for the both of you."

"Right. But I don't want to keep on waiting while doing nothing like you. I might lose someone very special right now because of waiting for something for too long. I hope what I said helped you change you mind. I'll go now. I lost my appetite." He immediately left and slammed the door shut.

"If only you know how conflicted I am. It's not that easy to move on." I left the bacon I'm cooking and sat on the chair. "What should I do?"

--

I went to the café wearing the jeans and hoodie Taehyung brought me. If that guy sees me wearing the not so short skirts I normally wear, he'd blow up.

For sure.

"Jen- wahaha.. What are you wearing?" I took off my cap and mask. "Where's that feminine style of yours?"

"I had no choice. Taehyung ordered me to ditch those clothes and wear.. These.. instead." She laughed and shook her head. "Come on! I don't look that bad.."

"Just kidding. Anyway, that guy right there asked where you were earlier. He's a bangtan member and he didn't want me to say his name to you." I looked at him who is sitting at the corner of the café. So it really was Park Jimin.

"It's okay. I know he'll be here. We'll just talk for a while unnie." She nodded and I walked towards Jimin's table. He saw me and waved his hand.

"Why didn't you come earlier? I was waiting for two hours for you." I sat in front of him. "Nice to see you again Jennie."

"Great to see you too. I thought you were some creepy dude who used Jimin's name to fool me. I'm sorry."

"Ahh.. About that. I got your number from Jinyeol noona since Taehyung wouldn't let me have it. He's really protective of you, don't you think?"

"I totally agree. But.. Why did you want to talk to me?"

"Ani.. I just wanted to be friends with you. Maybe a little talk would help us know each other?" His face is halfly covered with his mask but I could clearly see his eyes smiling. "Can we be friends like you and Taehyung?"

"I don't see any problem with that." He chuckled and pushed the iced coffee to me. "Oh? For me?"

"It's taste might have faded already because of the melted ice but I bought it for you. I already finished mine a while ago."

"I'm really, really sorry for making you wait."

"Ani, ani.. I should've introduced myself properly. It's my fault. But it's good that you're careful. Let me guess. Taehyung told you?"

"Yep. I almost got harassed yesterday and I received a really good scolding from him. He bought me these clothes because he didn't want me to wear my dresses and skirts."

"I didn't know Taehyung was like that. But he's right." I was taken aback when he softly patted my head. "You should be careful Jennie."

"A-ah.. Ne."

"Jimin." I quickly turned around and saw Taehyung.

"Oh, Taetae. We were just talking about you." Taehyung didn't say anything. He just stared at us with that emotionless face. "Taehyung?"

Don't tell me he's mad at Jimin for seeing me? Wahh.. His expression really shows it. He doesn't even wear his mask! My god, Kim Taehyung.

"Go home. Namjoon hyung is looking for you." I looked at Jimin who just sighed and nodded.

"Well, it was nice talking to you Jennie. I guess I'll head home." I bowed to him then he stood up and patted Tae's back. "Good luck." I scrunched my brows and turned to them. What was that goodluck for?

Jimin left the café and Taehyung sat on Jimin's chair, crossing his arms. "What? He's your friend not some maniac."

"Exactly. He's my friend and I know him too well. I knew he'd do this. This is exactly why I didn't give him your number."

"Aww.. Don't be jelly." I squished his cheeks and he gave a little pout. "Aren't you a cutie? Don't worry Taehyung. He just wants to be my friend just like you. You guys have good intentions so there's nothing wrong about it." I stood up and fixed myself. "I'll start working."

I was about to go but he pulled my hand and hugged my waist. Geez.. He's being clingy again. I just messed his hair since I don't know what to do. "I want to keep you." He softly said and hugged me tighter. "Don't leave again, arasso?"

"Alright, alright. Stop being dramatic. Our customers are looking at us." He pulled away and his little pout is still there. "Aish.. You better hide that face of yours before anyone notices." He smiled and wore his mask. "Better."

I went back to the counter and sighed remembering what Beomgyu told me this morning.

'I don't want to keep on waiting while doing nothing like you. I might lose someone very special right now because of waiting for something for too long. I hope what I said helped you change you mind.'

"I don't want to lose Taehyung because of him. Can't I just keep them both? It's possible, right?"
