Chapter 25 Meet

"So how was your holidays with your boyfriend?" Nayeon nudged your shoulder with hers as she walk with you towards your room.

You grinned at her, "Magical." You answered.

"As always. Here's my gift for you, Japan was superb." She said as she slump on a chair and pull out a box with a christmas gift wrapper.

"Thanks." You said before you put it inside your bag.

"Did you spend your new year's eve together too?" She asked.

You shook your head, "He spent his new year's eve with his mom. They had a party, I think."

"Figured. I saw a post on Margo's wall saying how stoked she was for that party and how it was like a fairytale. It was a party thrown by a governor, freak! She even posted a picture with your boyfriend with caption 'with him tonight'. Ugh that bitch! Do you even know that?" Her face crumpled.

The transition was so fast, her light and bubbly aura earlier changed into an aura where a storm poured on her. And you can't but get affected with it.

"Can I see it?" You asked and she instantly pulled out her phone and showed you.

Margo was dressed in a red dress with a plunging neckline, the dress ended on her mid thigh. Her hair was up in a high ponytail, exposing her cleavage and neck. You cant help but notice the necklace that shines even in picture with the diamonds it contains.

Taehyung was beside her, their bodies touching as they slightly face each other. Taehyung was wearing the same suit that he wore on the new year's eve. He had a glass on his hand containing the liquor he drank that night. He had a slight smirk on his lips like he's enjoying every bit of it.

Your heart thumps. You tried to recall the conversation you had with him after that party when he became sober.

"How was the party?" You asked as you watch him sit on a high chair at your kitchen.

"Boring and usual." He answered as he yawn and pull his hair.

"Anybody there beside your parents?" You asked him as you slide a water in front of him.

"Thanks. No, he only invited his friends." He answered then he drank the water you gave him. He sighed after and massaged his nape.

You walk up to him and massaged his shoulders. He groaned whispering little i love you's and thank you's to you.

"What about your friends? You hang with them?" You asked him more.

He shook his head, "My friends are from different countries, none here though." He said.

"Who did you hang with at the party then?" You asked him again.

"Nobody." He answered that ended your discussion.

You look up at Nayeon, "He didn't tell me about this." You answered her as you hand her phone back, your strength completely gone.

"Are you okay? Maybe he just forgot to tell you." She tried to comfort you. She caressed your back.

"No, I asked him so many times about the party. Did Taehyung lie to me? Nayeon, did he?" You asked her as you start to get nervous. Your heart aches when thinking he did.

"I'm not sure, Y/n. Try to talk to him. I'm sorry." She said, her hand never stop on caressing your back.

And so you texted him at break. You asked him where he was and he replied that he's on the rooftop. You were eager to know it, if he lies or not. If he did, then why? You'll accept his reason anyway. You were afraid to break this safe glass you are in because of him.

You're afraid that all of this aren't true. That you are just dreaming. That he's just playing with you. That he never really liked you. He never really loved you.

You barge in the rooftop, the metal door banging loud and you saw him at the center of it, waiting for you. He smiled as he saw you walk in and reach out his hand.

But you never took it even when you were just feet away from each other. You will not let him touch you or else all of your thoughts will fly away from your mind.

His smile falters and he took a step forward to you. "What's wrong, babe?" He asked.

"Margo was at the party, wasn't she?" You asked, not meeting his eyes.

"What? Babe, why are you asking that?" He asked, taking another step.

You back away that made him stop. You look up at him and you saw his surprise face, his eyes flashes pain. He swallowed hard.

"I saw her post. You were with her at the party. You didn't tell me about it."

"I just thought that it didn't matter. She's irrelevant." He said like he was having a hard time explaining it.

You shook your head. "I asked you for so many times, who did you hang with at the party. And you always said no one. Did you... did you lie to me?" You asked him, your eyes starts to water.

He took a large step towards you and this time you had no time to back away. He held your elbow with so much care.

"Baby, no. I would never. I never mentioned about it because I thought it doesn't matter. I thought it would be useless. Baby, she's nothing to me. Yes, we saw each other at the party but that's only because her family was invited." He explained.

"You had a picture together. She posted it."

"I'll tell her to shut it down. Just please don't get angry with me." He pleaded.

You held his arm as you shook your head, "No, it's okay. You're mine, right?" You asked him with shakey eyes.

"Always." He responded then he hugged you tight.

You didn't know why you were shaken by Margo that time. Of all the threats and bad things she did to you to make you back off from Taehyung, you didn't know why you were so affected by it. Maybe because of what the picture says?

They are together in that fancy party and you have no place in there. She was right all along, that you don't belong to their world and she does. His family knows Margo, they can happen anytime. Then you wondered, does pragmatic marriage still works nowadays?

Maybe what happened scared him. Maybe he wanted to assure you more now than ever. Maybe that was why he never left your side since then. He'd always go with you at lunch, saying his little jokes in between, he'd never let you take the public transportation when you're going to work and when going home.

"I just want you safe everytime, babe." He said as he kiss the back of your hand. "And partly because I don't want that Jae Hyun guy to walk you to the bus stop." He chuckled.

"Jae Hyun's just my friend." You always tell him.

"It starts from there." He replied.

He'd always stay the night in your flat too, the nights he was gone were the nights his mom would call for him. He'd always come back home in the morning anyways.

"So I have a quiz in Bio and Chem tomorrow, I have to finish studying this." You explained to him while you lay on your stomach, your notebooks spread in your bed.

"You'll stay up all night?" He asked as he caress your back.

You only nodded at him, eyes still focused on your notes. "Okay, goodluck babe." He said before he stood up and went to the bathroom.

When you saw him go inside the bathroom you instantly got up and went underneath your bed to hide and scare him. You covered your mouth as you watch him go out of the bathroom.

His brows furrowed as he look around when he didn't see you at the bed. "Babe? Where'd you go?" He called out.

He opened his phone and called your phone that was on the bed too. "Y/n?" He started to look around the house.

He waited for your answer that never came, when he realized you were gone, he slowly smiled and laugh to himself. He did this small jumps, getting all excited and run to your closet. He hid himself waiting for you to come back.

Your mouth agape, realizing he's doing the same thing. He wanted to scare you when you're one to scare him too. You laughed as you crawl out underneath your bed. He heard you laughing so he slowly get out of the closet and watch you die of laughters as you crawl.

"What the hell?" He couldn't believe what you were planning as he watch you in disbelief.

It was just one of your silly moments with him that you'll never forget.

He was holding you tight in that random night when his phone rings in the middle of the night. He was fast asleep and you woke up. It wouldn't stop so you slowly take off his arms around you, trying hard not to wake him up.

Your brows furrowed at the light his phone flashed when you took it from the side table. His mom was calling and you were about to wake him up when his mom stopped calling. You were about to put it back when you saw a message on the screen that really bothered you.

Unknown:

Taehyung, this is Margo. Please message me when you read this.

You look at Taehyung beside you. He was sleeping peacefully. You opened his phone and clicked Margo's messages. You read every message she sent to your boyfriend.

Unknown:

This is Margo.

Unknown:

Taehyung please dont ignore me.

Unknown:

I have something to tell you.

Unknown:

This is about your girl.

Unknown:

Please meet me tomorrow.

What could she tell him about you? If she had something to tell your boyfriend about you, she should tell it to you first. Plus, what could she possibly tell him? But you're sure that it's her another way to destroy you.

Its been months and she still can't leave him alone. Maybe its time you confront her. Maybe its time to tell her to stop ruining the both of you. So you type the words you know Taehyung will never send her.

Taehyung:

Okay, let's meet tomorrow.
