Don't Play With Me, Boy (Taehyung X Reader)

16

You were at home the next day, pondering your next move. You understood the double-edged sword you were placed in front of. You had just gotten back with your ex-boyfriend, who seemed to have been extra committed, caring, and clingy, ever since the two of you made amends, but at the same time, you needed to keep your cards close to your chest as he was still one of the main suspects for the threatening text message. That's why you were unsure of what to do when he called you earlier today. You hadn't picked up, but he had left a voicemail.

Hey babe, I know you're probably busy, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry. I know you saw what happened when Jisoo approached me and I know it didn't look good, and I also that I ran away like a coward without confronting you or even giving you your food. If you're not too busy, I would love if you could come over and we can talk about it.

By this point you were wondering if you should have even gotten back with him at all. Maybe talking with him would give you more clarity on the whole Kim situation. At the same time, you didn't want to compromise any of your safety, and that's when you realized you couldn't trust your boyfriend. It clearly wouldn't be safe to break up with him whether he was Kim or not. Maybe if you pretended to go along with it, pretended to trust him, then you could get closer to him without him getting closer to you.

As you walked into the house that the boys shared, you saw Jimin watching something on the TV. It was an advertisement for a brand deal BTS had just done with Samsung. They always seem to be doing brand deals. They get so much free stuff from companies. What do they even do with all this extra stuff? What are they going to do with two phones? Two phones. That's when it hit you. Your prime suspect had been Jisoo so far as her number is not saved into your phone, while Taehyung and Namjoon's are, but if they have just received a second phone, then there's a possibility that it could be one of them as well. Great, now all three of them were equally suspected again and you were back to where you started.

Taehyung walked out and noticed you there and let out a small gasp as if he was surprised you actually decided to show up. 

"Baby I'm so happy that you came, I thought you'd be so mad at me," he said, pulling you into a hug while mumbling in your hair. More than being mad at him, you were mad at yourself at this point.

"Like you said, I just want to talk about it." He dragged you into his room and closed the door. 

"Okay," he breathed, "Where do I begin?"

"I don't know, maybe why the heck Jisoo was even there in the first place?"

"Good idea. I don't know. She just showed up."

"And why did she kiss you?"

"She didn't kiss me. She leaned in and pretended she was going to kiss me, but never did."

"You didn't pull away." Taehyung sighed. This is the part he was dreading. Why didn't he pull away at the time? He had tried so desperately hard to win you back, but then he still didn't hate the idea of Jisoo wanting him back? Was Taehyung selfish? He wanted you to date him, but still wanted Jisoo on the side, begging for his attention. Why did he want both of you? You were such a confident, successful, amazing woman who was way out of his league and Taehyung sometimes felt intimidated by you. Jisoo, on the other hand, was needy and insecure and dependent on Taehyung, which made him feel better about himself. He felt proud to be with someone as amazing as you, but also felt threatened by you. With Jisoo, he got to feel like a hero. 

"I didn't want to push her away. I thought it would look suspicious and especially if there were any paparazzis nearby, I didn't want to create any conflict."

"Well you sure did a great job at that," you said sarcastically.

"And after everything that has happened, I just felt really bad for her," Taehyung lied, "I didn't want to hurt her even more."

"So you hurt me, your girlfriend, instead?" 

"Baby, I'm really, really sorry. I didn't know that you'd be watching."

"How does that make any difference, whether I'd be watching or not? That makes me wonder what other things you've been doing when I wasn't there-" 

"Nothing!" Taehyung interjected, almost too quickly. You scrunched your eyebrows in suspicion. Could he be Kim? It doesn't make sense that he would tell you to stay away from him when he was the one who called you over. At the same time, you weren't sure of the implication of the text. Did it mean to stay away from Taehyung forever, or just for that day? If it meant to stay away from Taehyung forever, then he couldn't have been the one to send it, but if it meant to stay away from him that day, then it makes perfect sense that he was the one to send it. And yet again, you were back at square one. Right now, it would just make the most sense to forgive him, as continuing the argument woudn't get you anywhere. You had to be on his good side, to get closer to him, to find out more information.

"Okay baby. I trust you and know that you have my best interest in mind." You had to refrain from laughing out loud from the utter outlandishness of your statement. Taehyung breathed a sigh of relief and leaned in and placed his lips against yours. Your body, almost recoiled at his sudden touch and it surprised you how you went from being completely infatuated by him to completely disgusted by him in only a matter of  24 hours. You then had to go to the bathroom so you excused yourself from his room and went to the bathroom. As you came out, you were confronted by Namjoon, who said he wanted to talk to you. Great, here we go again.

"So you're not breaking up with him even after what happened?" Namjoon asked rudely. Who was he to talk to you like that? "Taehyung told us what he did. He's clearly way more into Jisoo than he is into you. I don't know why you're still with him."

"Thank you for your 'concern' Namjoon, but I don't see how this is any of your business." 

"I'm just saying that I could've treated you better. I would've taken you on dates and treated you like a princess and I sure as hell wouldn't have cheated on you."

"For the last time Namjoon, I'm not interested in you like that."

"And you're interested in Taehyung? He treats you like crap. I thought you had more self-respect than that." His words infuriated you. "But no, you're just like Jisoo, a desperate loner who will come running back to the guy who hurt you just because you can't live without another man's attention." That was it. You were done being nice with him. 

"You know what, Namjoon? You can fuck off, okay? I don't need you sticking your nose in my business anymore. It will never happen. I will never be with you." Namjoon scoffed.

"Whatever, I never found you that attractive anyways," he said as he walked away. You were seething with so much anger that you didn't even consider the fact that you were supposed to pretend to be nice to him. You opened you phone and went to the text sent by Kim. Your finger hovered over the phone number until you finally summoned the courage to tap on it. You waited for a few seconds and then heard a ringing noise come from a phone on the dining table. You panicked and quickly hung up the call. Before you could approach the dining table, the doorbell rang and Taehyung came to answer it. He opened the door and the blood drained from his face when he saw it was Jisoo, and internally started freaking out even more when he saw that you had seen that Jisoo was here. What the hell was she doing here?

"Jisoo," Taehyung gasped, "Why are you here?" he asked nervously.

"I forgot my phone when I was here earlier today."
