Can't Believe It [An BTS×ATEEZ×Reader FANFICTION] (Completed)✔

20: The Explanation

[A/N: Listening to any song that shows soft calm in mind as well as a little flustered love is perfect for this chapter. Enjoy😀]

But I lost my smile as I realised what I have to face now. And this is, by far, one of the worst things that I had to do in my life.

Assuming I may have many other moments coming up for me in the future to judge the severity of this moment.

..........

As I walked into the café, I saw Mr. Jo and Taehyung sitting in a table as Seonghwa was striding around the hallway in worry and anxiousness. I saw some cup of lattes in front of Taehyung and guessed that he may have drunk all that whilst waiting for me.

Awww! So thoughtful of him!

When they saw me, Taehyung came running towards me and held me in a tight bear hug in silence for a few seconds. Then he asked,

"Where did you go? I thought that.. that... I lost you again."

I lifted my head to see that his eyes were getting pooled up with glistening tears. Why is he crying?? I didn't really go away somewhere.

I looked at Hongjoong and pointed towards the tissue holder on his table with my head. He handed me a tissue immediately. I then broke the embrace and looked at Taehyung as I slowly wiped the tears away from his eyes.

He has already cried a lot at the cafeteria. How can he cry so much for me?

He then laughed as I removed the tears from his eyes with a cute pout in order to make him laugh. Then he sat down at the seat he was in and sat me in the chair beside him. Then Mr. Jo asked,

"Ms. Jang? You are safe, right? Nothing bad happened, if I'm not wrong?"

Well, I can't say if it's good or bad. I finally convinced my unwanted fiancé-to-be to make his parents take down the wedding proposal.

But now I have to tell someone else about all this. And it is not someone who should not know of this AT ALL.

Kim Hongjoong, you little bastard! Can't you keep the beans in your mouth and not not spill them like this?! Not in front of Park Seonghwa, at least!!

But I couldn't speak of all that in front of  Mr. Jo. Because he knows nothing of the situation I am in. So I just nodded a yes and then Mr. Jo said,

"Well, then I'll leave you guys to it. Bye!"

Mr. Jo then left for his work. Which left me, Hongjoong, Seonghwa and Taehyung in the cafè. I looked at Hongjoong and asked,

"First of all, why did Seonghwa come with you?"

He then said with a guilty grin,

"Uhh.. I was practicing as usual with the other trainees. When suddenly Mr. Jo called to ask your whereabouts. I didn't know where you were and then Mr. Jo told me about the situation. I ran from the company building immediately but then Seonghwa stopped me midway and asked me what's wrong. I told him about your disappearence and then..."

I then looked at Seonghwa as he scratched his nape in embarrassment. But then he asked,

"What was Hongjoong talking about you goin..."

I knew what he was about to ask me. I cut into his sentence and replied in frustration,

"Oh! It was nothing. Just a misunderstanding, that's all. Right, Hongjoong?"

I looked at Hongjoong to say the truth and he said whilst patting at Seonghwa's back,

"Yeah, it was just a misunderstanding. I'll tell you about it in detail later. Now, I think you should go back to the studio, or else the other guys and the dance teacher may kill us with questions."

Seonghwa looked as if he just remembered something. He then pulled out his phone and ran out of the café while answering a call he had just made. As soon as I knew Seonghwa was out of sight, I went to Hongjoong and hit him in his arm, which caused him to wince in pain. I then scolded,

"Can't you keep anything in your stomach when you're mad, Kim Hongjoong! You had ask about it like that, and in front of Seonghwa?!"

He was now giggling as he replied,

"Well, I couldn't tolerate that pervert's presence close to you. You know who I'm talking about. So, I forgot that Seonghwa was actually there at that moment."

I then was about to hit him again when Taehyung spoke,

"All your bitter quarrels can wait. But I can't. I have rehearsals. Tell me whatever happened. I saw Seokjin hyung's car outside."

I then told them whatever happened since I stepped outside the campus. But I didn't tell him how I felt.

That was a secret.

Taehyung just sighed and said,

"That means Seokjin hyung also wants an out from this?"

I nodded a yes as I pulled out the water bottle from the paper bag Seokjin gave me earlier. Then Taehyung just snatched the bag and emptied it on the table, which caused him and Hongjoong to be struck with awe by the contents within it. He then said while poking everything by hand,

"Well, I get the Tteokbeokkie and banana milk. Because you're a girl and you're young. But why the Kit Kats? He never buys them for us. That's strange."

I also started to think about it as I drank the water. Why Kit Kats? And if he were to buy me Kit Kats, then why did he never buy them for his team mates? Seemed strange to me. Because I can't help remembering something.

{Flashback}

"Fluffball, I'm here! Look what I got you~"

"Wow! Kit Kats, for me? Oppa, you're the bwest!"

He then gave a cute giggle that sounded like windshield wipers cleaning a window, which caused me to laugh as well.

..........

But I shrugged that memory off as I saw Taehyung bite his tongue by seeing the caller ID of the person that called him. He then picked up the call and hastily left from the café as Namjoon scolded him on the phone.

[A/N: Windshield wiper laugh...... huh?? Does that ring a bell in your mind?? Cuz it definitely does for me.

As for the story, Taerim had to be mad. I mean, won't you be mad on Hongjoong if you were in Taerim's shoes, being exposed to date the guy you were exposes of dating your unannounced forcibly engaged fiancè in front of your love interest?? Because I, most definitely be as angry as Namjoon was on that phone call to Taehyung if someone outed me like that.

But then again, Taehyung crying must be something my tete stans' hearts got clenching. But trust me, Tae is actually emotionally attached to Taerim.

Also look forward to the next chap to know whatever happened afterwards.
