CARD 8.

"we were going to discuss the project," he stated simply.

although he didn't show, he was very annoyed by her at this point. he didn't like the fact that someone else was taking eunbi's spot. he didn't like that eunbi let jirae do that. even if jirae did take her spot temporarily while taehyung tolerated it, he didn't feel like she closed any gap in his heart at all. seeing eunbi do nothing once more and just letting jirae take over like that was the last straw for taehyung. after eunbi went up to her room, he settled down with jirae at the dining table. jungkook excused himself with yewon and went out for a while.

at first, they discussed the project but they started to stray off topic. jirae then asked for water. taehyung went to take his cup and served jirae some water. as he was passing it to her, the cup slipped and she dropped it, creating a loud smash and disrupting the silence of the peaceful home. the loud smash woke eunbi from her rest. she went out of the door and see the whole situation unfold.

"why are you so fucking careless!" taehyung tone raged with fury.

"it's not like i did it on purpose. why are you so mad? i can just buy another cheap diy cup like that!" jirae screamed back.

"it's not just any cheap do it yourself cup, it's a cup with many memories," he softened his voice.

"so what? i can just make it look similar and your memories will be back. problem solved," she scoffed.

taehyung's face changed, one which he never showed jirae.

"you.. haven't changed, jirae," taehyung said, disappointment etched on his face, "it has always been like this huh, my feelings never mattered to you,"

"y-ya.." jirae said reaching out for his hand.

"GET OUT!" he screamed.

"we didn't even finish the pro-,"

"you didn't play any part in the project, i did everything while you whine about how hard life is to you as if the whole world evolved around you. so before you act all that about wanting to stay because of the project, maybe you should just fuck off and maybe find someone else to put up with that stupid little attitude of yours. now get out while i'm being nice," taehyung spat out the words he held in and glared at her.

that cup jirae just broke was one of the cups that eunbi bought and gifted to each member. everyone had one cup with a picture of eunbi. it was a collage of all four of them with their signature. the cup signified as a promise of their unbreakable bond. all the memories that they had, with their names at the top of the pic each cup individually. taehyung deliberately picked that cup to show jirae their sign of untouchable friendship but jirae just simply broke it.

"i see how it is tae, you don't like me anymore," jirae said, her voice breaking.

the air was so thick with tension between the two.

"i'm telling the professor to switch partners or i'm working alone," he sighed after a while and bent down to pick the pieces up. 

not only that she broke the cup, she also shrugged it off and said that she will replace it. how much more dense can she be? can't she tell that they hated her presence? jirae took her stuff and cussed taehyung out before leaving.

"did i even say you can come into this sacred home?" he scoffed.

the moment when she opened the door, yewon and jungkook came back from grocery shopping. jungkook went in, pushing her aside with yewon trailing after him. they didn't even bat an eyelash for her at all.
