An improbable Love Story || kth

Because of a kiss

~~~

Going back to school wasn't all that bad as the first days of winter came around. I was wrapped in my long red overcoat, the chilly New York City winds engulfing me, as I hurried to class across campus.

What seemed like fate at this point was that I ran right into Taehyung in front of my lecture hall building. He looked as gorgeous as ever, wearing a long black winter coat himself, and his fluffy black hair hanging into his eyes. Even his cheeks were rosy from the cold and an unreadable emotion flashed across his face as he recognized me.

"Charlotte!", he said in almost an urgent way.

"Hi... Um, I gotta get to class", I tried to walk past him, but he wouldn't let me pass.

I knew we were friends, but my interest in talking to him had diminished as soon as he started dating Lily.

"Wait, Charlotte", he pleaded in a way that made me stop and turn towards him.

"What do you want?", I sighed.

"I...", he tensely bit his bottom lip, "I heard about what happened, Charlotte..."

"Oh", I froze and looked at him.

"And I swear I'll kill him if you want me to", he gave me determined stare that quite frankly startled me.

"No, Tae", I quickly shook my head, "I never wanted to come between you and Jimin like that."

"Jimin?", he furrowed his brow, "What?"

"It was stupid that we kissed, but please don't be upset about that. Your friendship is far more valuable than-"

"You kissed Jimin?!", he interrupted with his jaw dropped.

"What?", I blinked at him, "Isn't that what you were talking about?"

"No!", he shook his head adamantly, "I was talking about what Kylo did to you. I'm ready to murder him."

"Oh, well...", I bit my tongue to keep me from saying any more shit.

"But you kissed Jimin?!", he reiterated all upset.

"I mean yeah...", I wavered on my feet, "But you shouldn't care, cause you have a girlfriend, right?"

The thought must've completely escaped him as all he said was, "I'm gonna kill him. That's who I'm actually gonna kill."

And before I knew it, he started running into the nearest lecture building. I had no choice but to follow him.

He was damn fast and almost down the first hallway when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. I nearly bumped into him as I ran after him.

"PARK JIMIN!", he yelled down the hallway at the figure that walked nonchalantly with his backpack flung over one shoulder.

"Huh? Tae? Don't you have class?", Jimin responded as he walked closer, spotting me as well, "Oh, hey, Char."

"What the hell, Jimin!", Taehyung continued yelling and now Jimin looked taken aback.

"Woah, what's wrong?", he furrowed his brow at the younger's anger towards him.

"How the hell could you kiss Charlotte?!", he bellowed at his friend.

"Oh... shit", he mumbled before glancing at me, "You told him?"

"Well...", I interfered in a tense, high-pitched voice, "The thing is that I thought he knew so..."

"What the fuck, Jimin!", Taehyung got all up in his face, "You're supposed to be my best friend!"
