The Bet

Chapter Trece

As soon as Jeongguk calmed down and hugged Taehyung with an enormous amount of apologies thrown his way by the male, Taehyung passed Jeongguk over to Minah to spend the rest of lunch with his boyfriend and best friends. Taehyung walked out the exit of the room and began to head to his empty homeroom with anger surging inside of him, his veins popping out and pulsing with how furious he is.

It's already bad enough that Taehyung doesn't even romantically like the girl but to tell Jeongguk all those false things and going as far as referring him to such a derogatory name has him fuming. He should have ended things the moment he became friends with Jeongguk again. Shit, he shouldn't have even asked her out. This is all his fault so he should be the one fixing it as well. Jeongguk is going through so much pain because of him. It's always him that pushes Jeongguk away and makes his life more excruciating.

Taehyung quickly snatches his phone out of his pocket and unlocks it. He presses his thumb on the screen a few times as he pulls up his messages with Trinity and sends her a message to meet him in their homeroom classroom. He's already heading that way with heavy steps as the anger continues to boil inside of him.

Taehyung pushes the door open and makes his way over to his desk where he positions himself to lean against it and stare at the door as he waits for the female to step inside. He's mad at her for being such an evil witch towards an innocent boy like Jeongguk just because he hangs out with Taehyung. However, Taehyung isn't as mad at her as he is at himself. He was the one that started all this mess, it's all his fault. It's always his fault whenever it comes to Jeongguk. He's the one that asked him out in front of the whole school. The one that almost gave him a panic attack because he didn't know him well. The one who gave him bullies and is too afraid about ruining his image to stick up for him. The one that made him lose his friends. The one that caused most of his suffering in school. Most importantly, he's the one that fell in love with him so he'll do everything in his power to protect him.

Trinity skips into the room a few minutes later, happily humming a random tune as she searches the room for the one who requested her presence. Her smile brightens spotting the male standing in the middle of the classroom with his arms crossed and a frown etched across his face. She ignores his expression and skips over to him, leaving a little distance between them after Taehyung straightens his posture.

"Tae oppa! I came! Why are we standing in a dark room all by ourselves? Could it be that you finally want to..." Trinity trails off, hinting what the surprise could be.

Taehyung scoffs hearing her inquiry on what could possibly be happening. Just thinking about fucking her again makes him nauseous. It wasn't very pleasant the first time and he doubts it would be favorable the second. He pushes himself off the desk and takes one step towards her but makes sure the distance between them remains. This conversation could either be harmless and quick or violent and hurtful. He tries to shoot for the aforementioned.

"Trinity... We need to talk," he starts off, eyes narrowing as he stares at the girl. He can tell she's starting to get the gist of it as her smile falters and her stance becomes a little timider. "What did you say to Jeongguk the day we went to the restaurant?"

She scoffs, head-turning to the side as she tries to focus her eyes on something else. Of course, this is about Jeongguk. "Why? Did he come crying to you saying I did something? You know me Taehyung, he's probably just being overdramatic like always."

"What the fuck did you say to him, Parker," Taehyung asks again, voice deepening as his eyes glare at her threateningly.

Trinity gulps as she returns her gaze back towards Taehyung. She never heard him speak like this before. Even when Taehyung sounds angry, he's usually just annoyed. But at this moment, the male is, for once, infuriated. She bites her bottom lip as she tries to come up with another lie to not sound like the bad guy. When nothing comes to mind, she just mutters a small, "Nothing..."
