CHAPTER - 39

IF IT'S WRONG TO LOVE YOU,

THEN MY HEART JUST WON'T LET ME BE RIGHT.

You walked out of the room, exhausted and too occupied with your thoughts as you gave a slight look to Jack who looked confused as to why you were looking at him like that. You sat in your car thinking you'd deal with it tomorrow, not wanting to overthink it too much and boy were you in for a surprise.

The next day was hard, stopping yourself from talking to the boys about the deal they had made in your office last evening. You were excited to work with them but you didn't wanna admit it, thus you were hiding your excitement with a feeling of betrayal that being your bestfriends, they never thought once to tell Elena Claire about their decision to start a whole new corporation. 

You played your food as you gave the eye to the boys. "Umm... Ella you ok?", Hoseok asked as he noticed you looking at him all weird but you just brushed him off saying it was nothing while continuing to eat your pretzel. 

The day went on and you decided to forget about the deal for the moment and forgive the boys (even though they didn't even know you were mad at them). After all, they didn't know about your true self either and you knew it could prove to be an issue later on. While you were in your thoughts, you felt someone's stare on you and looked up to see V looking at you with an unreadable expression on his face. You suddenly felt very shy and put your head down as you felt heat rushing to your cheeks instantly. 

He smiled when he noticed that and gave you a little wink making you blush even harder and hide your face in your hands.

"You know I've had dates where the atmosphere wasn't so cringey and cheesy", Jimin said as he casually popped a grape into his mouth, making you realize that everyone was looking at the two of you basically lost in each other's eyes. You cleared your throat and got up swiftly, making the chair at your back fall with a big thud.

'Great now I have the attention of the entire cafeteria, way to go Ella.', you thought as you clumsily picked up the chair and speed walked out of the cafeteria.

"Well what are you doing! Go after her you idiot.", Jungkook said as he slapped Taehyung on the back bringing him to reality. Taehyung got up and quickly sprinted to the cafeteria door but suddenly stooped. "Ya!! Did you just call me an idiot. I'm your hyung ok?", Taehyung yelled.

"JUST GO!!", all of the boys and Jihyun yelled back as he stumbled and nodded to run after you.

I didn't see where she ran off too but I had to grab this chance. She's just the most amazing girl I know and I can't help but want her to be mine. 

I ran around the school, looking in different classrooms and the ground when it suddenly hit me where she would be, "The rooftop.", I mumbled, knowing it was her safe place. I ran up the stairs, huffing and puffing. I peeked inside from the glass pane at the door and I was right. There she was sitting with her back towards me. I took a minute to catch my breath and took a mint out of a pocket (just in case you know).

Taking a deep breath I opened the door as lightly as I could and I sat next to her, scaring her. Gosh she's so adorable. 

"You ok?", I asked as I made myself comfortable next to her spot.

"Why wouldn't I be?", She looked at me with those cute beautiful eyes as she tilted her head to my direction making me all giddy inside.

"Listen.. Ella.", I started and suddenly felt like I had lost all confidence as she looked at me with such an innocent naïve look.

"What's wrong Tae?", She asked as she turned to face her body towards me and put her hand gently on top of mine. I was pretty sure I was red by now but I didn't wanna wait any longer.

"I like you. I like you a lot Ella....", I finally said it and I saw her eyes going wide.

[ END OF TAEHYUNG'S P.O.V. ]

You couldn't believe yourself as you heard him say that. You looked at him surprised, trying to find a trace of goofiness or a smile but one look and you could tell that he was dead serious.

You could feel the butterflies in your tummy as you turned red. "Taehyung I don't know what to say-"

"Then don't say anything.", Taehyung said as he put his finger at your lips, tracing the soft skin ever so gently.

"But Ta-"

"I said shush.", Taehyung said as he stared into your eyes before closing the gap and smashing his lips to yours.
