In White Houses
Ch. 28
-Jiae's POV-
The little bell ranged as I opened the door that led into the small bookstore
"Hello, welcome!" A young college-aged girl welcomed me from the checkout counter, I rolled my eyes at her in annoyance
"Where's Taehyung?"
Her face looked surprised by how hostile I sound
"You can take a 30-minute break Sohyun." Taehyung's voice came from behind her, she looked back startled and then nodding her head before leaving.
"What do you want?" he asked monotoned
"Is that how you talk to your favorite girl?" I teased leaning on the counter, he just looks at me with the same blank expression he always gave me. Nothing else. But that Minjoo girl...the way he can easily show emotions to her especially on the first night they met...what's so great about her?
"Buy a book or leave," he said coldly before turning to walk away, I grew annoyed, I've been crushing big time on him since my freshman year in college but he always treats me like chicken shit...I'm never enough.
"I just want to spend some time with you...if you know what I mean," I smirked, he paid me no mind. Asshole.
"You've been spending a lot of time with that Minjoo, you were with her last night huh?"
He stopped in his tracks turning his head halfway to face me. Of course...her name got his attention, little Miss pretender goody two shoes, I hate that bitch.
"You like her?" I smirked,
He didn't answer. It's obvious.
"But, doesn't Jimin like her too?" I giggled, "Ah, it's just like you Taehyung, going after Jimin's girls huh?"
He rolled his neck something he did when he was getting annoyed or angry
"She doesn't seem any different than any other girls," I kept on, "What was it that Jackson said in his backyard?...' Easy whores like her?' she did seem desperate, you would think she would've screamed right?" I smug.
He finally turned his whole body to face me, his face seething with anger, I love getting to him.
"You saw? You saw it all go down?!" His voice shakes with fury
[flashback to Jackson's party]
Taehyung undid my hands off his arm as we walked into Jackson's dining room.
"Piss off Jiae," he grunted taking a seat at the table, just like him to be a wallflower it's so hard to get close to him. I just want people to think we're finally a thing, it's just embarrassing if people would know I'm still trying to get with him after all these years and he treats me the same.
"I'll get us some drinks," I say ignoring him trying to smile. I went into the kitchen getting two beers out of the fridge, as I closed the door Jackson startled me leaning against the freezer door.
"Jesus," I breathe
He chuckled, "I see you're still sexy as ever Miss Choi,"
I rolled my eyes, "Get lost Jack" I turned around heading back to the dining room,
"You finally officially with Tae or is he still using your body just to bang?" he followed behind me. God, I want to smack the smile off his annoying face, I turned around trying to politely smile at him,
"I don't think it's your business."
He laughs, "Okay Jiae, just wondering since it looks like he's been concentrating on that shorty you brought here." he nonchalantly says gulping liquor out of his glass, god he reeks of alcohol.
"She's pretty hot though."
I swallowed my anger still smiling, "Well if you excuse me," I about-face out of the kitchen. Taehyung interested in that slut? Please. Not a country bumpkin like her, I know he was messing with her that night playing truth or dare. I made my way back into the dining room and saw Taehyung leaning back in his chair focused on something in the living room area. As I slowly got closer I saw his attention was on Minjoo sitting next to Jimin on the couch, laughing. Why is he looking at her? I walked closer to him putting the beer down on the table, he hardly noticed it or me. He ignored me.
why?
I backed away going back to the kitchen so annoyed. I don't get it, I don't get him. I always notice him giving her extra attention, even when he's not he's always looking at her. She's not even cute. I will not let her ruin what Taehyung and I have. (A/N: Oh the delusion.)
"Miss Choi" Jackson came back up to me again, I rolled my eyes getting angry. "You look like you need some company," he winked at me, I walked away from him going to the entrance room of his house, I should catch a cab and leave. I turned my attention into the living room to see little miss innocent and saw she was alone on the couch this time. Jimin was talking to some other girls, this gave me an idea.
"Hey Jack!" I yelled out to him surprised he heard me from all the noise going on, he swaggered his way up to me biting his lip, "baby needs daddy this time?"
It took me a whole lot of energy to not hit this fool, "actually, I think I got someone who does," I smirked.
[Fast forward to the backyard]
I was snickering watching Jackson pinning Minjoo down from a guest bedroom window, no I don't feel sorry for her. She's no threat but I'll do whatever it takes to keep other females away from Tae. Speaking of Taehyung, this looks like a great place to fuck, just before I was about to head out to search for him I heard a yelp outside. I turned to look and saw Jackson on the ground...and Taehyung grabbing ahold of his collar. I felt my heart pounding, my blood boiling. What the fuck was he doing out there?! I slightly opened the window trying to hear what was going on,
"Whatever man, you can take her, there's plenty of pussy around here for me to bang, easy whores like her!" I hear Jackson shout, my jaw drops witnessing Taehyung knocking him out. He turned around grabbing Minjoo's arm entering back into the house. I quickly rushed down the stairs and saw them leaving out the door, just the two of them.
This girl...
I fucking hate her.
I laughed, "Saw? I was the one who made that horny dog go after her."
Before I could laugh some more I felt a tightness on my throat. Taehyung's strong large hand was gripping my throat, making it hard to breathe. His eyes were like pitch black, I struggled to try to undo his tight grip. Would he kill me here in this small empty bookstore?
"Do anything else to hurt her...and you die." I felt the anger in his calm voice.
"L-look at y-you," I said having a hard time, "Is it s-still too easy-y for y-you to k-kill someone? A killer w-w-with a girl like her?"
He might as well just kill me, I won't stop. He instead loosens his grip and eventually lets go, I cough so hard trying to breathe right again. I held my throat looking up at him and he was lost in thought, he says nothing else and walks away.
