"Kim Taehyung really doesn't eat?"
Jungkook, who was eating pizza together at Taehyung's house for the first time in a long time, asked, chewing on the dough. "It must be quite shocking to hear that the girlfriend he's liked for over a year has never once shown him sincere affection." Yoongi shook his head and answered.
"Ahhh... I told you Kim Yeo-ju was strange. It seemed like she was hiding something."
"She's a real bitch. How could she be like that?"
"Didn't you say that Kim Yeo-ju was popular at Doram Girls' High School?"
"That's what happened, but I've heard he's been acting strange lately. People say he's hanging out with Guseonghee or something."
"?? really?"
"Yeah. That's why the rumors were getting worse at school too."
"It's been a long time since we broke up. Kim Taehyung, how many days have you not eaten?"
"Oh. He really must be crazy. Because of one woman... Oh my."
While Seokjin, Namjoon, and Jimin were continuing their conversation, Taehyung's door opened. His eyes were puffy, his face was sunken. Yoongi approached him as soon as he saw Taehyung.
"Hey, you, eat something first. In a way, the reason we gathered here today is to cheer you up."
"I can't eat anything."
Taehyung burst into tears again. He seemed to have become quite numb to crying, and only tears flowed down his cheeks. He wept silently, sadly.
"ha···."
Taehyung, who had been cooped up in his room for days, decided he couldn't continue like this, so he just went out. He needed time to breathe in the fresh air and find peace of mind. Taehyung still couldn't believe it. Kim Yeoju had never truly cared for him.
"Huh? Kim Taehyung?"
As he was walking, his hat pulled down low, someone called out to Taehyung. He looked up, and the face he met was none other than Lee Yeoju. Taehyung was feeling a deep sense of guilt over the fact that his girlfriend, Kim Yeoju, had harassed Lee Yeoju and extorted money from her. Taehyung answered, looking down at the ground.
"Oh, hello."
"······."
"Sorry."
"Huh...? What did you...?"
"You didn't even know my girlfriend was bullying you. I'm truly sorry. I don't know if you'll forgive me."
"Hey... What are you sorry about? I'm okay."
"thanks···."
"Are you okay...?"
The female protagonist checked Taehyung's face and asked. The question, "Are you okay?" struck Taehyung so deeply that tears welled up in his eyes once again.
"Hey, hey... why are you crying...!"
"Ah... I'm really sorry. I've been so emotional lately."
"······. Where were you going just now?"
"Where are you going? I was just walking."
"Then do you want to play with me...? I'm really good at making people feel better."
"Coin Karaoke...?"
"Yeah! Honestly, there are places that are open on Sunday mornings..."
"This is my first time coming to Coin Karaoke."
"······?? really?"
"Yeah. Chairman Kim really hates Kono."
"Chairman Kim···?"
"My dad really hates PC rooms and coin karaoke. He just made one for us at home."
"······? Wow···. Amazing···. Wow···."
"So, this is my first time coming to a coin karaoke outside like this."
"Wow... You're the young master."
"Come visit my house later.With Yoongi."
Yeoju didn't hear the "Yoongi" in the background. She only heard that Taehyung had invited her to his house. She smiled brightly and suggested they go inside. Taehyung, who had been gloomy and depressed until a moment ago, slowly began to smile. Starting with coin karaoke, then PC rooms, movies, and restaurants. Yeoju couldn't help but be happy after spending the whole day with Taehyung. They had met in the morning and played happily until evening, but perhaps a little tired, they headed to a cafe.
"My lady."
"uh?"
Taehyung, taking a deep swig of his Americano, called Yeoju's name without his last name. Yeoju's heart pounded. Was my name always this exciting?
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Huh...? What."
"Kim Yeo-ju was harassing you. The reason I posted about finding a gangster back then was because of Kim Yeo-ju."
"I wasn't bullying you... I just got ripped off once."
"I heard everything from Yoongi. That day, Kim Yeo-ju asked me for money."
“······. I know very well how much you like Kim Yeo-ju···.”
“If you had told me, I would have solved it right away without you having to worry about it.”
"I didn't feel bad..."
"I'm really sorry. I mean it."
"I'm okay. Don't be sorry. And cheer up."
"Yeah, that's right."
Silence followed Taehyung's words. Breaking up with the girlfriend he loved so much was, in a way, an opportunity for Yeoju. A chance to slightly increase the odds of her unrequited love coming true.
"You still can't forget, right?"
Boo-
'Guseonghee.'
"ha···."
Yeoju returned home from her part-time job as usual, without blinking, as if nothing had happened. As soon as she arrived home, her phone rang, and she closed her eyes wearily. It was time for everything to end. She no longer needed to be at Doram Girls' High School.
"What's so scary about it since it's going to be revealed anyway... Just rip it off."
The heroine typed quickly. She seemed determined, with no sign of trepidation. Until now, the biggest reason she'd been afraid of her lies being exposed was Taehyung, but now that he'd grown to hate her, all that was useless. In fact, she found that comforting. She hoped Taehyung would forever remember her as a bad girl.
For the heroine, who had lived her life wrapped in lies, that was the best she could do. Taehyung needed to forget her as soon as possible. She couldn't let Taehyung know that she was truly sincere to him. Even though her life was a lie, her feelings for him were genuine. She hoped Taehyung would never know.
Yoongi vs Taehyung seems a bit divided...😌
