āYou are a little selfish, manipulative, spoiled brat. You know that?ā He would tell you while laughing in a failed attempt to cover the harsh words he would throw at you. āBut thatās a good thing,ā he continued as he took a drag of his cigarette. āThatās what will get you pretty far I life. I mean it.ā He smiled at as you sank further into your seat, feeling like the last person on the damn planet.
Your boyfriend continued to look aimlessly at the sky as he enjoyed his alcoholic beverage. You stared at the ground, biting your lip as tears threatened to spill from your eyes.
āOh, come on, donāt start with that. You know I love you and Iāll always want whatās the best from you,ā he sighed, titling his on the side as if you were some kind of strange science experiment. Sometimes you would wonder how did you manage to stay with him for so long, sometimes his words would get to you and you would believe that his feelings for you were genuine. You two have been dating for almost two years after all.
Ā āI want to accept the opportunity and study one semester away,ā you told him, your decision final.
āOf course, you do. You never include me in your plans,ā he laughed again bitterly.
āIāve never had any plans except this one,ā you replied exasperatedly.
āWhatever,ā he rolled his eyes and rose from his seat. āLetās go. My friends are already there.ā
Ā You two exited the bar and headed towards the karaoke place where he was supposed to meet his friends and and to where he dragged you. You hated singing ever since he told you how your voice sounds comical when you do it, and thus the idea of going to a place where everybody expected you to sing rose your anxiety levels to a metaphysical level.
As soon as you arrived everybody stopped singing and politely introduced their selves since it was your first time meeting his friends. Your boyfriend began chatting them up, forgetting about you altogether right after the introductions. As you looked for a place to sit, somebody in particular caught your eye, as he stared at you from across the room intently. He was the only one who wasnāt interested in what your boyfriend was saying. In fact, he was more interested in you, as his followed your every move with a lot of interest. You werenāt a particularly shy person, but the way his dark eyes were fixed on you made your cheeks redden. Most of the chairs were already occupied, thus as you searched for one that was vacant you caught him approaching you with the corner of your eyes.
āHere,ā he said as he brought you a chair and placed it next to the others.
āThanks,ā you replied shyly as you sat down, ready to fish out your phone and start playing games in order to kill time. Most of the people were gathered around your boyfriend as he was telling a funny story that happened at his workplace. They all found it amusing since they all worked in the same place. Well, all of them except you andā¦him. You stole a glance in his direction only to find him looking at you from his seat.
āKim Taehyung,ā he said as he extended a hand towards you.
āY/n,ā you smiled and shook his hand. It took you five seconds to realize who you were talking to, but you decided to leave aside that fact that you knew he was famous. āSorry if I looked like a lost puppy. I got a little confused about the seats,ā you laughed awkwardly.
āThereās nothing to be confused about. Your boyfriend should be there to make you feel comfortable, not leave you like that,ā he said, a serious expression etched on his face.
He was even more handsome in person. Eyes as dark as starless night, messy hair and plump lips that made it difficult not to stare. But you somehow managed to keep yourself composed.
āIām already used to that,ā you laughed, remembering all the times he abandoned you in an unknown place.
āYou shouldnāt be. I think we both know you deserve better than thatā.
The words left you speechless and before you could say anything, one of your boyfriendās friends announced in an obnoxious voice that it was time for karaoke. You sighed and mentally prepared for a near embarrassment.
āI donāt know if I can sing with the famous V in the same room with me,ā a girl giggled.
āIām just another man at karaoke with his friends,ā he replied politely, clearly annoyed by her words.
āY/n should go first since sheās a new member of our group,ā somebody interjected, making you feel nauseous.
āSing that balled you sing in the shower, babe. Youāre funny when you do that,ā your boyfriend laughed.
Everybody stared at you as you took a microphone and scrolled through the variety of songs. You laughed to yourself as you chose a rap song you knew your boyfriend hated. The moment the song started, everybody went silent as they all recognized the song.
āNot that shit,ā your boyfriend whined as he took a gulp of his beer.
The moment you stared rapping you were surprised seeing Taehyung next to you with a microphone in his hand and the biggest smile on his face. You two started a strange rapping and singing duet that made you laugh and forget in the same time about any other person being in the room with you.
It was so strange just the mere look into his eyes gave you a feeling of absolute comfort. Almost as if you knew him for a long time.
This doesnāt make any fucking sense.
As the song ended, everybody gave a round of applause, mostly for Taehyung.
āIf this was a rap battle, Y/n wouldāve beat me,ā he said and glanced at you with so much appreciation in his eyes, it left you breathless.
Everybody cackled at his joke but he kept smiling at you as you both returned to your seats, pulling yours first like a real gentleman, which was utterly unexpected.
As the rest of the people sang their chosen songs, your boyfriend kept himself busy with his friends, without even glancing at you once. However, Taehyung gave you all the attention in the world as you two talked like two best friends.
Not long after that, people were starting to slowly get drunk and messy which was never a good sign.
āY/n baby, letās go home,ā your boyfriend acknowledged your existence for the first time since the two of you arrived. His words latched with double meanings.
āIāll make sure you get home safe,ā you said and rose from your seat, a little disappointed that you had to end your conversation with Taehyung.
āIāll take them all home,ā a guy said, shaking his head at Taehyung, an unspoken conversation happening between the two of them.
āNo way. Iām not leaving my damn girlfriend with that guy,ā your boyfriend interjected.
āYou donāt have to. Iām leaving right now,ā you growled as you gathered your things and left.
A wave of cold air hit you as you exited the building in a hurry. You were mad, heartbroken and confused.
Everybody has a time in their life when they continuously wonder about the meaning of Hell. How it would feel to burn into the depths of the universe for the whole eternity, or maybe how it would feel to freeze into the ninth circle, watching your soul turn a dirty shade of blue. Sometimes you did. Sometimes you thought had youāve involuntarily found it. However, it wasnāt in the form of an eternal fire.
Hell was waking up every morning pretending to be ok.
Hell was looking into your boyfriendās eyes and feeling the cold numbness.
Hell was when you stared at your reflexion in the mirror and remembered all the harsh things he told you.
Hell was hating every inch of your being and no matter how much you tried, you couldnāt change a damn think.
Hell was standing in front of you in that moment looking like a god.
Hell was the one wiping away the lone tear going down your cheek.
āItās late,ā Hell said as he looked at you with his black eyes. Black eyes that took you to Heaven and back whenever they were fixed on you. āI canāt let you walk alone.ā
āIām fucking lost,ā you whispered and he nodded back, understanding the undertone in your response.
āI know. But not for long.ā
You started walking mechanically towards your apartment as Taehyung silently followed you. Your hands would touch from time to time, eliciting a small sheepish laugh from the both of you.
The walk towards your apartment was shorter than you wouldāve liked. Taehyung followed you inside your building, opening doors for you, actions which were so foreign to you.
āThank you,ā you said as you reached your apartment door. āShould I call a cab so you can get home safe?ā
āThereās no need to. Iāll take a short walk to cool down a little bit,ā he laughed, threading his fingers through his soft hair.
The action made the muscles of his arm contract under his long-sleeved shirt. Your eyes followed his movements, as you bit your lip involuntarily.
āOk,ā you replied almost incoherently.
āYou know, there is this gentlemanās code. I should never, absolutely never, yearn after somebody elseās girlfriend.ā
āNever is such a harsh word.ā
āDefinitely,ā he said as he came closer to you.
āI hate never,ā you whispered.
āWell, fuck it,ā was the last things he said as his lips sealed yours in a kiss that made your blood boil. Your hands pulled him closer, pinning you against the door as he bit your lower lip. You felt his large hands wonder on your waist before the settled on your ass, pulling you flush against him.
You wanted him closer than youāve ever wanted anybody.
However, your phone decided to ring in that particular moment, announcing an incoming call from your boyfriend.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā End or part IĀ
