[A/N: Listening to any song that shows mischievous comedy and pranking with friends is the perfect song for this chapter. Most probably, "Illusion" by ATEEZ is the perfect song for this chapter. Enjoy😂😂]

As he broke the hug, I left a huge sigh and said,

"Taehyung-ah? Will you please follow me to my wardrobe room now?"

He gave me a confused look to me and said,

"Why? What happened?"

I just got off the couch and said,

"I have something to show you there."

I indicated him by my right hand towards my bedroom and I followed him behind as he did so. My wardrobe room is at the right side of my bedroom, right next to the washroom.

As I opened the room's door, I could hear some cloth hangers moving. I indicated Taehyung to go into the room as I joined him afterwards.

The room was dark. So, I turned on the light in the room and turned around. As I did, my eyes saw that Taehyung had gone stiff and pale, as if he had seen Count Dracula in person. I asked in a careful soft voice,

"Taehyung? Why are you so pale?"

He directed his hand towards my dress rack.

My dress rack is big and has around 20 dresses hanging on it. But. But the cause behind Taehyung's paleness was something else.

There was a pair of white legs with black jeans standing behind it.

I knew who it was. But I myself was also startled for a second. My mind started to think about ways to bring him out without scaring the shit out of Taehyung. Then suddenly my mind cooked up a mischievous prank within itself.

I touched Taehyung's shoulder, which caused him to jump out of his skin for a second. I somehow held my laughter in and said,

"Taehyung! Repeat whatever I tell you now out loud, okay?"

I whispered something into his ear. His eyes went big out of disbelief. He took a big gulp on his own saliva before hesitantly asking,

"Will it work? Are you sure?"

I nodded a yes and replied,

"1000%."

Then Taehyung took 2 steps closer to the dress rack and said what I told him,

"H..Hyung? I.. I know you're there. P..p.. please come out."

Then a long sigh came from behind the rack, which caused him to jump and stood behind me. I'm shorter in height than him, so I knew that that he'll be able to see who it was.

But then I turned behind to see him bending behind my 161 cm body. I then pushed him a little and moved myself away to indicate him to look in front of me. As soon as he looked in front of me, he shouted,

"SOEKJINNIE HYUNG!! What are you doing in Taerim's wardrobe room? And why are you shirtless?"

Now I can't hold my laughter. I started to laugh hysterically and fell on the floor by my knees. Because Taehyung's face was literally expressing his feelings out loud. Then I heard Seokjin say,

"Well..."

I don't know why, but my whole body suddenly stopped rolling on the ground in laughter. I looked at Taehyung as he immediately asked,

"Taerim-ah? Why are you laughing so hard? And why is Seokjinnie hyung.... Wait a second! Did you and Seokjinnie hyung..."

Taehyung trailed off from his sentence and just furrowed his eyebrows. My mind just screamed,

TAEHYUNG THINKS THAT YOU MADE OUT WITH SEOKJIN!! THAT'S A LIE!!! FIX IT!!! NOW!!!

I immediately stood up from the ground and smacked him on his head, which caused him to wince in pain. Then I just immediately shouted on him,

"Ya, Kim Taehyung! Am I even your best friend? How did you think of me that way? Did you find me that type of girl?"

I literally can't believe that my sweet best friend Kim Taehyung could even think of me that way. Haven't we been friends since we were 5? Did I cry every day and night and have nightmares for the same guy? Did I try to save him from my dad's wrath when he wanted to destroy his family and everything for making me walk out of the kindergarden? Did I cry in his arms for 3 years in pain of his loss? All for him to misunderstand me in a second because of a shirtless boy in my wardrobe? 

I was furious. Very furious. I was flaring my nostrils to try to calm my anger as I was breathing heavily and felt my ears heat up in anger. I looked at Taehyung and saw that he was staring at me with regret and disbelief. I just said,

"All men are the same. Trust and chivalry is gone from the world."

I then stormed out of the room and took my jacket out of my rack as I left. I was about to wear my boots to take a walk when Taehyung held my left hand by both of his own and stopped me. He was looking as if he was at the brink of breaking down. He said,

"Taerim-ah! Don't misunderstand me. I was just too stunned at the whole situation in front of me and my mind just had had the worst possible scenario popping into it. Sorry, Taerim-ah!! Don't leave now! Not at this time of the night!"

Now I shook off his hands off mine and walked away with the jacket tight on my body.

I was just wearing a purple full sleeve T-shirt with a pair of dark blue chinos. The weather was a bit too breezy, almost stormy.

I was processing in my mind about how Taehyung, the person I trust and care for above myself, doubted that I could even have done anything as close to making out with the person I don't want to get married with.

He knows me, too well to be patient enough to let me explain why Seokjin was shirtless in my wardrobe room. But he rather preferred blaming me with an impossible and absurd thought that rose out of nowhere in my mind.

I had now walked into a small garden 3 blocks West from my apartment. It was supposed to be turned into a plot for a mall, but then the owner of the land had a change of heart and turned it into a garden where abandoned trees can be replanted rather than getting cut off.

I liked the garden a lot. I'll sometimes walk in here to clear up my mind from any bad thoughts as I breathed in the clean air in the atmosphere.

There is a bench close to a big Oak tree in the garden. I went and sat at the left corner of it and left a big breath before pulling in the fresh air. The air made me feel nice, made my head loose some temper. As I took in some more of the air, I heard a rather familiar voice say,

"What are you doing here so late at night, noona?"

[A/N: AND... SCENE!!!!

Sorry, I had to do that. I always found this fascinating about drama practices or shootings for something. as soon as a part ends and there is a few seconds of empty seconds necessary and the actors are too into the acting, these words are enough to make them come back to consciousness and be who they are. it's like a magical word. I'm sure that when I said "and... scene!!!!", you guys suddenly got pulled out of the whole story in a second. You forgot about the prank Taerim pulled on V, the way she childishly got offended over just one assumption V made, the way there is someone who approached Taerim by addressing her as "noona" and who it could be.

About  the whole drama Taerim did, I know it seems too amateur of her to be making a whole fuss of a misconception Taehyung had. But then again, she trusts Taehyung the most. To be facing these type of allegations, she was too taken aback out of the expectations.

And now... the major question. who is the familiar voice that knocked up Taerim from the behind in the park. I know that some people have the right guess. I'll just let you go to the next chapter and see if you did get the right person.

and... please take care of yourself if you can. the times are not that great so...
