Ch.21

We were driving back home and Taehyung has been quiet since we left the bookstore, I wonder what he’s thinking about. For some reason, my heart hasn’t calmed down yet, it’s been beating so fast since he kissed me, I don’t know why. We arrived at the lobby and Taehyung was walking fast to the elevators, I feel as if something is off, “Taehyung, wait, Taehyung,” he got into the elevator and I stopped him from taking his key card out, “What is wrong? Did I do something wrong?”



My eyes were searching for his, he took my hand off his forearm and scanned the key, “I already told you, I’m not good for you…hanging out today was a mistake.” He said coldly. M-mistake? The elevator doors opened to the apartment and he left me still in the elevator, instead of my heart beating so fast it felt like it’s been ripped apart. I slowly walked inside and saw Jungkook, Yoongi, and Jimin in the kitchen lounging. “Hey noona, ya feeling better today?” Jungkook waved at me smiling, I faintly smiled at him and nodded, funny…there’s a lump in my throat.

“Noona…are you okay?” Jungkook’s smile faltered, Jimin turned around to look at me from the table, “Haha, yeah, I’m fine, totally fine,” I tried so hard to fake smile but I felt tears forming behind my eyes, before they fall from my eyes I quickly turned away towards my room but felt someone grabbing my wrist. I turned to look who it was and saw it was Jimin, “What happened, what did he do?” Jimin asked so sternly, and then….here come the waterworks, I quickly undid my wrist from his grip and ran into my room. Luckily Jiae isn’t here.




The week went back to normal again, I was finally back at work with Seoyeon and Jimin dancing again. Jimin has been back to his normal self towards me since the whole Taehyung thing but…Taehyung hasn’t. He’s been more distant than he’s ever been, he stopped talking to me and refused to even look at my direction, he’s just always in his room or working long hours at the bookstore. I don’t know what I did to make him like this, was it me pushing him away from going far when he fell on me??

It hurts more to know that just when I thought we were just about to get close we actually grew apart. Dance class was finally over but Seoyeon left early to run some errands, I was packing up ready to walk home since I caught a ride with Seoyeon until Jimin came into the studio. “Hey,” he waved, “Ah, hey Jimin,” I smiled, “Good job today,” he smiled back, “Thanks,” “Oh uh, I was just stopping by to see if you…want a ride back home? I-I saw you didn’t drive here” “Oh, uh, sure, if that’s okay,”

We were walking to his car and I didn’t know what to talk about, I mean the tension between us seemed to simmer down since that night but it doesn’t really feel the same, “Minjoo,” Jimin walks over to the other side of me making sure I wasn’t near the street walking to the parking lot, “Yes Jimin?” “A-about….about the other week, my attitude,” I looked up at him and his face looked very sincere, “I’m sorry about all of that, I guess…I was…having a bad day--er, week I mean, and I guess I took it out on you...”



“It’s okay Jimin,” I lightly smiled at him, “So uh, you were with Taehyung last week huh?” The sound of his name made me frown, “y-yeah,” I muttered, “I think I…must’ve upset him somehow,” Jimin turned to look at me, “He won’t even look at me, I don’t know what I did,”
“Well,” he sighs, “he can be like that sometimes, no one ever knows what that guy is thinking,” I slowly nodded looking in front of me spacing out, I was thinking about Taehyung and I when we were in that gazebo that one night and how he opened up to me, after that he seemed so different, as in happy, now I think I messed it up, “Minjoo,” I snapped out of it and looked back up to Jimin, “Don’t worry about him, okay? I won’t…ever hurt you.”

Hurt me? What does that mean? We reached his car and he opened the passenger door for me, “thanks,” I said sliding in, Jimin smiled at me but still stood at the passenger side with the door still open looking down at his feet, “Um, I was thinking…if you aren’t doing anything tomorrow night…uh, you see, Jungkook and I were supposed to go to the movies to watch “Bloody Death 2”, I already bought the tickets and everything but he ditched me last minute, no one else wants to go and well, you’re the only one I haven’t asked yet…so…do y-you wanna go with me?...to the movies!” his face was a hint of red as he was still looking down at his feet kicking rocks, “Of course I’ll go, I love scary movies,” I laughed.





I got dressed in a cute sundress Seoyeon got for me a few weeks ago, I finally have the chance to wear it tonight. I went into the living room to meet Jimin before we head out to the movies “Where are you two going?” Hoseok asked looking at us from the couch, “To the movies since you all suck for not wanting to go,” Jimin sassed, “Oh well sorry I’m “taken” Jimin-ssi, so no date for us, no hard feeling eh?” he winked, “but have fun with Minjoo-ya, you two look better together,” Hoseok laughs, I turned my head to look over at Jimin and he was covering his mouth with the back of his hand looking down at the floor, I…coulda sworn he was blushing…





“Want anything like popcorn?” Jimin held the door open for me into the theater, “A small popcorn sounds good,” I smiled, “You got it,” I looked around I saw that mostly couples were here together…and to watch a scary movie?? Now that I think about it, is me going out to the movies with Jimin considered a date??

I have never been on one before so I’m so clueless, I mean…the guy is buying me popcorn, would he had done that for Jungkook?? The theater was already dark and packed with all these couples when we walked in, “cling on to my shirt,” Jimin says as he was leading the way, I grabbed on to the back of his shirt as we climb the stairs up to the top. “Perfect seats, we’re right in the middle,” he smiled sitting. “Lucky us,” I grabbed some popcorn. The movie lasted for an hour and a half surprisingly I wasn’t even scared at all, however, there were times Jimin jumped and accidentally grabbed my hand. I tried to contain my laughter most of the time.

“How awesome was that movie, sucked everyone died though,” he said as we walked out the theater, “It was a great movie, sorry you got scared,” I teased, “I wasn’t scared! Just…the demons caught me off guard, that’s all,” “Sure sure,” I laughed.



It was only 8 o’clock and the warm summer night felt so good it made you want to stay out more, it’s beautiful here in Seoul, but I know it has nothing on the summer nights back in the countryside, made me a little homesick, “The night is really pretty, want to get dinner?” Jimin smiled widely the one that makes him look like mochi. “I am kinda hungry,” “Oh yeah, there’s a BBQ place a few blocks I think you’ll like,” “Yay meat!” I giggled.

The BBQ place was packed, again…with couples, what’s with this night?? As we sat in a booth Jimin excused himself to go to the bathroom, I started to look over the menu to see what I wanted, “Galbi? Or…Jumulleok?” I sigh with frustration since I couldn’t decide, then I thought about how I should pay for dinner since Jimin paid for the movies and popcorn, I mean this it isn’t like we’re on a date or something right?

I looked up as more people were entering the restaurant and then suddenly my heart dropped seeing Taehyung, a girl and another guy walked in taking a seat near the exit on the opposite side of our table, what the hell is he doing here?? He let the girl sit on the inside of the booth while he sat next to her, the other guy sat in front of them, are those…his friends?

Maybe…that girl is his…girl…friend? She was extremely gorgeous and was really close to Taehyung, she was smiling and jokingly playing with his hands. I see,…he probably…started acting like that towards me because…he has a girlfriend?? Well, I wasn’t the one who kissed him…AGAIN! My blood was starting to boil, Taehyung was engaged in their conversations until he turned his head and found me, my skin felt like it turned white.



He was continuing to stare at me and I dropped my gaze, “I’m back, did you figure out what you wanted,” Jimin slid into the booth, “Uh, uh, I think I’ll get galbi,” I smiled nervously, I could still feel Taehyung’s stares. Jimin was unaware that Taehyung was here too, “You alright?” Jimin asked looking up from his menu, “Oh yeah, just, can’t wait to eat,” He laughed, “Food puts everyone in a good mood,”

I couldn’t help it but my eyes shifted towards Taehyung’s table, the girl he was with was resting her head on his shoulder as she was talking to the guy accompanying them, Taehyung’s eyes shifted towards me too, still emotionless, is he trying to taunt me or something, I rolled my eyes and got up, “I’m going to use the restroom,” I smiled at Jimin, “Oh, okay,” I quickly walked to the bathroom and stood to look at myself in the mirror, “Get a hold of yourself Minjoo, enjoy tonight with Jimin,” I quietly say to myself, I don’t want to ruin this night all because of Taehyung.

I fluffed up my hair and smooth down my dress and walked out only to see him…standing in front of the female restroom, waiting for me. I tried not to react and smoothly brushed passed him, he grabbed my arm, “Hey,” I turned to look at him, “What, what in god’s name do you want?” “Easy there, I just…wanted to say what’s up, I see you’re on a date with Jimin,” he says nonchalantly, “What’s it to you? You decided to start talking to me again?” He lets go of my arm lightly chuckling looking down at his hand, “Sorry,”




I shook my head and walked away from him.
