Perfect Love (TayNew)

50. Rejection

*Third Person's POV*

New started avoiding Tay and Earth and Gun started avoiding Off and tried to avoid Oab but couldn't say no to him sometimes. New and Gun stopped hanging out at the usual place in the park with the group.

At the cooking club...

"New..." Earth said.

"Hi, Earth." New said.

"Why are you not hanging out with us?" Earth asked.

"Busy..." New said.

"Really?" Earth said looking at New.

"Hmmm... What did you cook today?" Earth asked.

"Ohhh... I helped others with their cooking." New said.

"You can have Gun's cooking... his cooking got better now." New said.

"Ohhh... it's okay." Earth said looking down.

"Hey New..." Earth said looking at New.

"Are you... avoiding me?" Earth asked slowly.

"Huh?" New said.

"No... I just felt that way... we used to spend more time before..." Earth said feeling down.

"Forget it... see you later..." Earth said and left.

*New POV*

Seeing Earth like that... I don't know what to do... I just don't want to hurt him... but he's hurting more when I avoid him... it's not like I want to avoid him... Why did this happen? I don't like this... I don't want to hurt your feelings... I don't want to reject you... but I can't like you more than a friend...

"Hey..." Someone said and I turned towards them.

"Tay..." I said.

"We need to talk." Tay said.

We both went outside to talk...

"Why are you not replying to me?" Tay asked about the Line chat.

"I did." I said.

"Busy... or saying there's some work..." Tay asked.

"What do you want me to say then?" I said.

"I was asking you to come and hang out with us... Why are you always saying you are busy? Is it about the thing which happened... between us..." Tay asked slowly.

"What thing?" I said.

"That thing..." Tay said.

"Which thing? I don't know what thing you are talking about." I said folding my hands on my chest.

"You know..." Tay said.

"I don't know... tell me when you remember what that thing is... cause I don't know... and I am busy... I won't be able to hang out with you guys... so enjoy without me." I said and left for the cooking club.

What thing... it has a name... it's called a kiss you idiot... Ughh... Tay is the person I want to avoid the most right now... Why did he even come to talk with me... Why did I fall in love with him... I won't be able to change my feelings for him... even if it is only hurting me... I am only falling deeper in love with him...

*Gun POV*

Oab called me...

"I am waiting for you at the usual cafe. Where are you?" Oab said.

"I will be late..." I said slowly.

"Ohhh... it's okay..." Oab said.

"It's going to be very late so... I think you should -" I was saying when Oab cut me off.
