Chapter 10 : Two-Faced

Taeguk's POV
Click. Click. Click.

I was anxiously clicking my pen as I await for them.

For the past few days, I have thought carefully about my decision, the possible consequences and endings.

Should I tell them?

Or should I not?

I have spent hours in my room, locked up, just to have a piece of mind. Thank god Taeho went out with Seohyun and Eomma to attend Taemin's parent teacher meeting session. You bet, I was in a dilemma. An awful one. Anything could happen if I chose any one of my options. Consequences?

If I were to tell them, I would be putting possible risk for my family and the whole of Bangtan. A huge one.

If I were to keep it to myself, I would lose my only best friends. Not one, but two. And losing them feels like losing a part of me.

My decision might be wrong, but I have to do this.

I myself feel bad about this, but they wouldn't do anything right? I mean, what could possibly happen?
They probably just want to know their schedules so that they can know more about them.

Yes. So that's how I ended up here, in class, waiting for the right time to tell my best friends. I wanted everything to be alright again. I wanted them to act the same way they used to with me. Hanging out, having fun with one another by our sides. I spotted them instantly as they strolled into the class, laughing and playfully flicking each other's forehead. I smiled awkwardly at them, but of course, got ignored. As they placed their bags down on their seat, I rushed towards them, excited yet anxious at the same time.

That was when I felt a pang of guilt rush through me. Slowing down as I made my way to their desks, I thought to myself.

Is this really alright? Telling my friends about Appa's schedules? Being a busybody just so they can like me back the way they used to? I breathed in shakily as I stood by their desks.

"What?" Eunjung asked as she and Myonghee made eye contact. They were obviously annoyed at me.

"You know, if you aren't going to help us in anything, don't talk to us. Best friends should be there for one another, tell each other their secrets-"

"You want to know about my father's schedules, right? I'll give it then," I answered, clearly irritated by their overboarded ignorance towards me.

Immediately, they stopped their actions and looked at me eagerly, wide eyes.

I stood still. Just like a statue. For a very, very long time.

Eunjung sighed. "I knew it. You love your family so much you can't spill their secrets. Such a caring daughter. Taehyung and Hyejin must be really proud," she blabbered, emphasising the word 'proud'.

I gulped as anger rised through me. Don't talk about my family like that. Trying my best to ignore what she just said, I took a deep breath. "I.. Uh.. I overheard from my mother that she, together with BTS, will be leaving Incheon Airport at 11am on 12 June, next Tuesday," I whispered, ensuring no one else could hear us.

Instantly, their eyes lit up. "Jinjja?! Omo, Taeguk! Tell us more!" Myonghee demanded.

"B-but you said I wasn't your best friend anymore?" I was shocked at the sudden change in attitude like a tornado flip in their hearts.

"No, it's crap! We were just joking, t-to see your reaction hehe," Myonghee smiled as she nudged Eunjung. "Anyway, what did you want to say?"

"Hideout," I muttered before making my way out.

"Kaja! (Let's go!)" Eunjung squealed as she pulled both mine and Myonghee's hands, leading us to our hideout.

Behind the walls, we remained hidden. I scanned our surroundings once more to ensure that no one could see, nor hear us.

"Hurry, Taeguk! Tell us!"

I was elated my friends were once again beside me, shaking me vigorously, eager to know more. Not feeling guilty anymore, I continued blabbering, "They will be staying at Karaksa Hotel in Osaka, until 26 April early morning where they will be heading back to Seoul. They will be arriving approximately at 5-6am." I spoke in a steady tone despite how happy i was. I witnessed how wide Eunjung and Myonghee's eyes were staring at me, absorbing all the information I just spilled.

"AHHH!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!" Eunjung finally responded.

Eunjung casted a small smirk to Myonghee, but I was too absorbed into their sudden change in attitude to notice it.

"THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING US WITH ALL THE INFORMATION TAEGUK! WE WON'T LEAK IT TO ANYONE! WE SWEAR!" Myonghee said excitedly as she and Eunjung hugged and turned around in circles.

I nodded and smiled brightly, not even feeling the slightest guilt as I hung my arm around my best friends as we walked back to class, i'm happy that we were back together again, or so i thought.

Taeguk, you haven't realised what a big mistake you have just made.
