"Hey, let's go."
"...? Hey, what are you doing here? There's no class today."
"Let's go."
As Jungkook tried to take Yeoju away, Taehyung called out to her.
"Yeoju."
I hesitated—
Once again, your words stopped me in my tracks.
I couldn't take another step.
"Yeoju, I'm right here. Where are you going?"
You hold me back when I try to leave. But when I'm right by your side, you don't even care.
"Shall we go on a date? Your classes are over, right?"
"...You don’t even know my schedule? I still have one more class left."
"Oh, really? Then I'll wait. Come to the parking lot when you're done. I'll be waiting in the car."
Your suggestion for a date, your promise to wait until my class ends—it makes me happy again. Just like that, my anger melts away. And once again, I forgive you.
"Jungkook, let go of my arm."
"Hey, Lee Yeoju, even now…!"
"I said let go. Right now, Jeon Jungkook."
"...You're really doing this?"
"This is between us. Stay out of it."
"Then act properly so I don’t have to interfere."
Taehyung pushed aside the girls around him and walked toward Yeoju and Jungkook. He grabbed their arms and forcefully pulled them apart.
"Ah…!"
"Why are you grabbing another man's girl?"
You never react to my words, but when it comes to other guys around me, you’re cold and sharp.
"Oh, another man's girl? Didn't seem like that to me."
With Jungkook’s words, the atmosphere instantly turned tense.
"Hey, stop it!"
Only when Yeoju intervened did the suffocating tension dissipate.
Taehyung grabbed Yeoju's arm and coldly glared at Jungkook before speaking.
"Let's go. I'll walk you to your lecture room."
"...Thanks for walking me."
"Hey, Taehyung, about our date today—"
"I only have time today. I have plans from tomorrow onwards. And if I don’t take you out today, you’re going to sulk, right? Just do it today."
"...Okay."
You make plans without asking me… Once again, my opinions don’t matter. We only go on dates when you want to. And just like always, I’ll end up doing only what you want.
"Hey, what? Did Kim Taehyung walk you here?"
"Yeah, haha."
"Oh~ That’s rare. Isn’t it usually you who walks him around?"
"Why are you even dating him? From what I see, you just follow him around all the time. You’re not even really a couple."
"…Hey, do you have to say it like that..~?"
Bzzzt (phone vibrates)
"…."
"Hey, you're free after class, right? Wanna go to a cafe?"
"No~ I have a date with Taehyung."
"Don't lie~ Do you just not want to hang out with me?"
"I'm not lying! This time, Taehyung asked me first. So, no way."
"You sound like a puppy waiting for a walk."
"I'm seriously going to kill you. Haha."
And once again... you’re late to reply, and in the end, you don’t reply at all.
Clatter (door opens)
"Taehyung, I’m here!"
"Oh, you're here. Get in. It's cold."
"...Yeah, okay."
Even when I arrive, you don’t spare me a glance, just staring at your phone.
"Taehyung, what are you doing?"
Yeoju moved closer to see Taehyung's phone. He was chatting on KakaoTalk with someone, smiling as he typed.
"…."
You always say texting is annoying, but apparently, chatting with someone else isn’t. You're even smiling at your phone, right in front of me.
"Taehyung."
"Hm? What?"
"Do you love me?"
At Yeoju's question, Taehyung sighed and put down his phone. He looked at her with cold eyes.
"Haah, Lee Yeoju. I told you not to ask me that."
"...But I just wanted some kind of reassurance—"
"Yeoju, if I didn’t love you, why would I even be with you? Stop asking obvious things."
You used to ask me that question all the time. Every single day, it was you who asked first.
"……"
"If you ask that kind of thing again, I’ll break up with you."
"…Okay, I’m sorry."
