Loving Kim Taehyung was like treasuring a forbidden artifact ā you could appreciate it and love it from afar, but you could never touch it, never have it ā just stand still and admire from a distance. Just like the artifact, he was untouchable and you could never have him the way you always wished for. Why? Well that was because he was your best friend since you were toddlers, but that was it.
You two were inseparable. Always playing and working together, making your classmates assume that you two liked each other. Of course, every time that accusation was made, youād both deny it while saying how gross it was ā but even then you knew you were lying.
At the mere age of 14, you realized that you didnāt just have a silly little crush on him anymore, no, you had fallen deeply in love with him. But who didnāt? His affectious boxy smile and playful bright attitude attracted many people towards him over the years, much to your dismay. But Taehyung always brushed it aside, and kept his attention solely on you. That is, once you two entered high school, then it all changed for the worse.
Right from the get go, it was obvious Taehyung would be more popular than you, but you didnāt mind, since he would still hang out with you and not treat you differently. But near the end of your first year in high school, the attention Taehyung was receiving, had gone straight to his head.
That summer, he didnāt really hang out with you much, since his family went on a trip to Hawaii for vacation. When he returned, it was like he was a whole different person. He dyed his hair to a dirty blondish colour, far different from his usual dark hair. He started to wear more expensive clothing, putting much more effort to look good. But he also, began to flirt a lot. Whether he was hanging out with you, or you were chilling at his house, he would always draw his attention away from you if there was a pretty girl messaging him or walking by.
Soon, he became a high school heartthrob and also a player, sleeping with every girl who fancied him. There were always rumors about who he was fucking and who was his next target, and that brought great grief to you. Even though he would still talk to you normally, he just would always see you as his childhood best friend, nothing more. Was it so childish that you wanted that to change? That you wanted him to see you as attractive as the other girls in school? But, you also didnāt want to be some random chick he fucked with once and never spoke to again. No, you wanted him to look at you with the same type of adoration, that you would look at him with.
And it isnāt till your last year of high school, do you finally see the look of love on his beautiful brown eyes, not the look of lust, but the look someone would give if they had fallen in love.
You shouldāve been happy, that the infamous Kim Taehyung had finally fallen in love, but the only problem was ā his love wasnāt directed towards you, it was for the new girl who stood straight past you.
āHi, Iām Kang Seulgi. I just moved into town, and I hope you treat me well!ā she spoke with a confident voice, as she introduced herself to the class.
She was on the shorter side, and had shoulder length dark brown hair. She also wore bright red lipgloss with heavy black eyeliner.
She was looking for a place to sit, whilst Taehyung couldnāt take his eyes off of her. He side eyed you, who was sitting in the desk next to him, before you poked you.
āY/N go sit in the empty seat in the far-left corner,ā he whispered.
Confused, you asked him with furrowed brows, āWhy?ā
āCause I want to get to know the new girl, so I can fuck her. Isnāt it obvious?ā he asked as if you were already supposed to know that.
Disgusted, you glared at the 18yr old, āTaehyung I was here first, so Iām not moving.ā
āCāmon Y/N! Donāt cock block me on this one!ā
āJust go fuck some other desperate chick! Who cares about herā¦ā you aggressively whispered back to him. Even if you didnāt want to admit it, this new girl was different. You noticed the way Taehyung would ogle her, even as he was asking you to move, he wouldnāt even look in your direction. You knew that he wasnāt just interested in fucking her one time.
āWhy? Do you wanna have a taste of my dick?ā
āNo!ā
āThen fucking move!ā he growled, not noticing how you flinched at his cold voice.
Why did he want to be around her so badly? Why was he so rude to you? Heās never been this adamant into getting into someoneās pants before, and it worried you.
Sighing, you grabbed your stuff without saying anything else to him and got up to move to the far empty seat.
Making your way to the isolated desk, you saw the girl āSeulgiā smirk at you, when you left.
What the hell is she smiling aboutā¦ you mentally questioned. There was just something that seemed off about her, you just didnāt know what.
You grumpily plopped down onto the chair, and glared daggers towards Taehyung and Seulgi. It was no shocker to see that Taehyung had already graced a flirtatious smile onto his face, as he turned to introduce himself to her.
She returned the playful grin, and you scowled as you watched them bitterly, smiling at each other the whole class.
Ā āHey, so you wanna hang out today?ā you asked with a hopeful voice over the phone. It had been six months since Seulgi transferred to your school, and you absolutely hated it. Taehyung was just so caught up with trying to spend time with her, that it was ruining your time with him. You didnāt even know if they fucked already or not, but why was he still trying to be around her and not move on like usual?
āCanāt, Iām gonna watch a movie with Seulgi,ā Taehyung replied, sounding as if he wasnāt even interested in your conversation.
āDidnāt you guys just go to the carnival together last week?ā
āYea, so?ā
āSoā¦ā you seethed, trying to control your jealousy. āCanāt you spend this weekend with me? I mean we rarely hang out anymore.ā
āWell she is my girlfriend, so of course Iām gonna spend a lot of time with her,ā he sighed.
āGirlfriend?!ā you choked out. Is that why he spent so much time with her? But why didnāt he tell you? Why did it feel as if you were the last person to find out about this?
āYea, girlfriend.ā
āFor how long?ā you whispered over the phone.
āI donāt know, maybe around three months?ā
āW-whyā¦ā you stuttered, trying to control your unstable voice. āwhy didnāt you tell me?ā
āWell why would I?ā he asked. āWhy do you even care?ā
He was right, why did you care so much? You were just his friend, that was all. No matter how badly you wanted to change that, it never would.
Faking a happy tone, you said, āAhh nevermind Tae, Iām sorry for annoying you. I guess Iāll see you around at school?ā
āYea.ā
Before you could reply, he had already hung up the phone. You sat there on your bed for a couple of minutes just thinking.
Sure, Taehyung did have a couple of girlfriends in the past, but it was mainly a sexual relationship that often only lasted a couple of weeks. But this time, his relationship with Seulgi seemed different, as if he was genuinely interested in her. Even as far as to distance himself from you, and act cold.
That night, was the first time you cried yourself to sleep about him.
Ā āY/n,ā your mom said, trying to draw your attention to her as your family ate breakfast.
āYea?ā you mumbled, while munching on your favourite cereal.
āMe and your father have been talking, and we thought it may be a good idea to move in with your aunt.ā
āHuh?ā you dropped your spoon, milk splattering on the table.
āIts not that we want you to leave sweetie, its just that we know you got accepted to the university thatās near where she is. Itās a really great school that only the smartest of people can get into. And it would be too much of a hassle trying to commute there every single day. That is, if you choose to go to that university.ā
You hadnāt given much thought to which universities offer to accept yet, so you saw why your parents were asking you this.
āAnd weād much rather have you move in with her, than live by your own if you choose to go away,ā your father added.
You smiled at them, as you knew that they didnāt want you to leave, but still wanted to let you make your own decisions.
āIs aunty okay with me moving in with her?ā
Your mother laughed as she replied, āOh please Y/N, you already know she treats you as if you were the child she never had.ā
Your aunt was only in her late thirties and still wasnāt married, as she was a successful business woman who tended to enjoy the company of various men, rather than settling down.
But then you thought about it, would you really leave home? What about Taehyung? Would he care if you left?
āWell thereās still a couple of months before school ends, so give it a thought.ā your dad spoke.
āAlright, Iāll think about it.ā
Ā It was the next day of school, and you were sitting in class not paying attention. Technically, you didnāt even have to show up to school anymore, since you already got plenty off university offers, but you had nothing better to do. Also, it was the only way you would even get to see Taehyung anymore, as the last time you messaged each other was two weeks ago.
It was as if he was ignoring you, and that hurt you greatly.
āMay I go to the washroom please?ā you raised your hand, having the urge to walk around a bit.
āSure, take the hall pass.ā your biology teacher said nonchalantly.
Grabbing the pass, you exited your classroom hastily. You walked along the dusty halls till you made your way into the girlās bathroom. You hadnāt even opened the door to it yet, before you heard multiple moans, as there was a slick wet slapping sound. Curious, you walked in very quietly, closing the door. You could see that the last stall was occupied, but what made your eyes widen ā was that there were two people in that stall.
āCāmon Seulgi, donāt be so loud baby,ā a deep voice said in a hushed whisper.
āBut your dick feels so good,ā she squealed.
You should have known from the moans and the slapping sounds that someone was pounding into her, but all you felt was anger. This was because, you could clearly tell that the person that was having sex with her ā wasnāt Taehyung. His voice sounded nothing like that.
You knew there was a reason you didnāt like Seulgi. She was a lying and unloyal bitch. You couldnāt believe that because of her, your and Taehyungās friendship was deteriorating.
Determined, you marched furiously down to the last stall and kicked it open harshly.
āOWW! WHAT THE FUCK!ā Seulgi shrieked, as the door had hit her square in the face.
You didnāt even know the guy she was fucking, you assumed he was an underclassman. They both had no shame as the detached themselves from each other, and turned to look at you, while fixing their clothes. You glared at both of them, and that was enough to make the boy run out, while Seulgi just smirked at you.
āWhat the hell are you doing? Arenāt you dating Taehyung?!?ā you fumed angrily at her.
āYour point?ā she said, as if she had done nothing wrong.
āMy point is, is that youāre cheating on him!ā
āSo? I canāt stick to one dick at a time. I like multiple partners.ā
You were seriously tempted to punch that smirk off her face, but you restrained yourself. āBut Taehyung likes you, how could you do this to him?ā
āAhh well, I was planning to break up with him anywayā¦ā she said as she glanced at you mischievously. ābut since I know you love him so much, maybe Iāll just keep him to play around with longer.ā
What? Was this girl insane or something? What the fuck was wrong with her?
āAre you okay in the head? Who the fuck does something like that?ā you shouted hysterically.
She laughed as she replied, āI know Iām such a whore, right? But thatās the way I am, I canāt help it.ā
She then shoved her way past you, not bothering to look you in the eyes. She was about to reach the door to exit, before you roughly grabbed her by the shoulder.
āLeave him alone,ā you said in a threatening voice. āI know Taehyung fucks around a lot, but he doesnāt mess with people like you. He doesnāt deserve this, so donāt hurt him.ā
She narrowed her eyes at you, before she slapped your hands away. āIāll think about.ā Then she carelessly walked out.
Grabbing your phone, you decided that you needed to warn Taehyung about her. Even though he was kind of acting like a jerk to you, you still loved him and you wouldnāt allow him to get hurt.
āHey, can u come over to my house today to talk? I kind of missed hanging out.ā You sent him through text message.
A minute later, he replied. āFunny, I was gonna ask u that too. But sureā
āK great, see u soonā
Ā As soon as you heard the doorbell, you jumped up from your spot on the couch and dashed to the door. You were nervous to tell him about Seulgi, but you knew you needed to warn him. You looked through the peephole, and saw the boy you fell in love with just casually standing there with his hands in his pocket.
You quickly unlocked the door and opened it widely with a smile on your face. Taehyung returned the smile, before he lunged forward after shutting the door. You had no time to react as he cornered you into the wall beside your front entrance.
You looked up confused at him, while he looked down at you with an unreadable expression.
āY/Nā¦ā he said in a low voice.
āY-yea?ā you stuttered back nervously.
āI love you.ā
It seemed as time stopped, as you stared with wide eyes back into his warm brown ones. The one thing you wanted to hear for so long, finally came out of his mouth. Did he really just say that? Was he being serious?
āY-you love me?ā you whispered back, feeling a big lump form in your throat.
āYeaā¦ā he said, while the most beautiful smile youāve ever seen graced his face. āI really do.ā
You let out a soft grin as you felt your eyes start to water. He loved you! You couldnāt believe it, but he really did! You were just about to cheerfully say you loved him too, before he interrupted.
āPerfect! Thatās just the reaction I want when I tell Seulgi that I love her. Y/N, youāre so great at taking part of acting roles!ā
And then the first salty tear ā rolled down your cheek.
But it didnāt stop there, multiple tears kept falling down your pretty face, as you looked up to him miserably.
āWoah, I think youāre taking this acting thing a bit too far,ā Taehyung joked. āYou donāt need to get so emotional.ā
āT-Taehyungā¦ā you sobbed, not being able to control your emotions.
Worried, he grabbed you by your shoulders as he asked, āHey, is something wrong?ā
āTaehyung, she doesnāt love you!ā you screeched out.
āW-what?ā
āI went to the girlās bathroom earlier today, and saw her fucking some random guy in one of the stalls! And when I confronted her, she had no inch of guilt or remorse! She said that she likes toying with peopleās emotions. Donāt you see? Sheās bad for you! I canāt believe out of all people, you fell in love with her!ā you blurted out, as the tears continued to stream down your puffy cheeks.
Taehyung stood there in silence, not even looking into your eyes. He removed his hands from your shoulders and clenched his fists tightly.
āYouāre lying,ā he spoke with venom.
Huh? Does he really think I would lie to him about this?
āI canāt believe youād say something like that about her,ā he muttered. āThis must be because I havenāt been spending time with you, right?ā
āNo, I donāt know wha-ā
āYou fucking liar!ā he exploded. āI canāt believe youād make up something so ridiculous! I thought you were better than this!ā
Is he seriously accusing you of lying? How could he? You two have been through everything together, but ever since Seulgi came into your lives, he couldnāt even trust you anymore?
āIām your best friend and have I ever lied to you? How can you not believe me? Iām the only one who actually cares about you, unlike that bitch!ā you cried.
āThat ābitchā is my girlfriend Y/N, not you. And I thought we were best friends too, but I guess I was wrongā¦ā he said with no emotion.
The look he gave you, was the most cold-hearted thing youād ever seen. It almost looked as if he hated you. So thatās why you didnāt stop him, as he left your house and slammed the door.
Seulgi knew all along that if you told Taehyung about her, he wouldnāt listen to you. Thatās why she let you go, since she didnāt even need to stop you. She had Taehyung completely wrapped around her finger, and there was nothing you could do about it.
That was the second time you cried yourself to sleep about him.
Ā You sat lifelessly on the train, as you scrolled through your phone. You had already said your goodbyes to your parents at home, as they both still had work to go to.
This was it, you were finally going to start a new life, as you had decided to accept the universities offer near your aunt, and go move in with her.
The last time you saw or talked to Taehyung, was that day he came over to your house and had that argument. After that, you decided that you didnāt wanna stay any longer just to see Seulgi toy around with him. You just couldnāt bear to see him get heartbroken, even though he broke yours.
The next day after your fight, you told your parents that you had made your mind ā that you would move in with your aunt to attend that university.
You took the whole week off from school to prepare for moving away. You decided to avoid graduation, even though you would be on the honour roll for your high academic achievements.
You closed your eyes in pain as your phone rung for the third time, while you were sitting quietly on your spot on the train. You looked at the caller ID, and saw that is was Taehyung who was calling you again. For the past 10 minutes, youāve been getting phone calls from him and rejected all of them. It would be easier to leave if you didnāt have to say goodbye to him ā you couldnāt handle saying it.
You assumed that he probably called you since he was worried about you not showing up at school for the whole week. Well, at least thatās what you told yourself.
The train finally let out a loud horn, before you could feel it vibrate to life as it finally started to move a bit. You were on an older style train, since you needed more room for your luggage.
It was a bit too hot in your booth, so you opened the window to let some fresh air in.
I guess this is goodbyeā¦
āY/N!!ā
Huh? Is someone calling me?
āY/N!!!ā you heard someone scream over the loud engine of the train.
That almost sounded likeā¦
āY/N donāt go!ā they shouted again, then you heard knocking on your window.
Confused, you finally turned towards the glass ā and saw Taehyung running frantically to catch up with the speed of the train.
āTaehyung?!?ā you said, completely shocked. How did he even find you?
āY/N please! Iām sorry!ā he said through the open window.
āW-what are you doing here?ā you replied, trying your best to not let your emotions show.
āI donāt want you to go! Please!ā
āIām sorry Taehyung, Iāve already made my decision.ā
āNo, you canāt leave me!ā he cried in desperation, which made your heart shatter.
āIām sorryā¦ā
āPlease donāt leave me! Youāre my best friend! Just spend a little bit of more time with me!ā he screamed, and you saw the tears running down his face.
āIām sorry Taehyungā¦ā you choked, as you felt your own tears falling. Why couldnāt he have told you this sooner?
āPlease, just stay with me! I need you in my life!ā he sobbed. But then the train started to pick up too much speed, that Taehyung couldnāt keep up with, making him fall to the ground in tears.
You cried as you watched the boy you fell so stupidly in love with, disappear slowly into the distance foreverā¦
ā¦or so you thought
Ā āOh my goodness, just look at you Y/N!ā your mother cried, as it was the first time you returned home in 7 years. You left home to move in with your aunt when you were only 18, but now you were a successful 25yr old woman, who had a well paying and respected job.
Of course you contacted your family a lot through phone and video calls, and they even visited you a couple of times at your place ā but it still felt really nice to be home again.
āMom, you saw me like 2 months ago,ā you joked.
āStill sweetheart, we just missed seeing you in our home for once,ā your dad pitched in.
You smiled brightly as you replied, āI know, Iāve missed this house too.ā
You spent the next few minutes chattering about your work, and how your aunt was, before your mother asked, āSo is there anything you wanted to do?ā
āUmm well, I actually saw this new coffee shop that I wanted to check out,ā you said.
āOh, well the car is yours to borrow for as long as you stay.ā
āThanks dad! Iām actually gonna go now then!ā you said cheerfully.
āBut you just got here!ā
āByyeee!ā you laughed as you exited the door.
Yea, you really missed having your parents around.
Ā āCan I get a regular double-double please?ā you asked the cashier up front of the new coffee shop.
You were glad you came to see the place, as it was really fancy yet still had a cozy atmosphere.
āSure thing! That would be $3.95 please!ā the worker replied enthusiastically.
You heard the front entrances door āringā open as someone entered, while you fumbled through your purse. You donāt know if it was the cold breeze, or if it was the sense of another presence waiting behind you, but you turned around for the greatest shock of your life.
Taehyung stood behind you, carelessly scrolling through his phone as he waited for you to finish. His hair was a dark brown again, and he was much more well built than you remembered. He wore an expensive looking suit, which made him look absolutely priceless. The cute boy you fell for, was now a handsome grown man.
You hesitantly reached out, and put your hand on his shoulder. āTaehyung?ā you whispered, as if he werenāt real.
He looked up at you, and you were expecting him to be happy ā but you were so wrong.
āDo I know you?ā he coldly glared.
What? Did he really not recognize you? You havenāt really changed much since you were 18, maybe that you wore a bit more makeup, your hair was longer, and that you took more care of your health, but that was it.
āYou donāt recognize me?ā you choked out.
āNo, should I?ā
How could he forget you!? No matter how hard you tried to forget about him, you just couldnāt. Thatās why all your relationships failed, because you were just so helplessly in love with him.
Desperately, you tightly clutched both of his shoulders as you frantically stuttered, āH-how could you forget me?ā
āGet your fucking hands off me!ā Taehyung snapped, and then grabbed your wrists roughly. He held no recognition in his eyes, and looked at you as if he was staring at a murderous stranger. His outbreak, caused several heads to turn around and look at the scene. But what you saw next, made your heart drop;
Coming to put a hand on his shoulder, was Seulgi, who wore an expensive looking diamond on her ring finger. And as she glanced between you and Taehyung, her shocked expression slowly turned into a cruel smirk.
