Part 9

"So, now tell me why you were expelled from high school", he said smiling at you, "I'm dying to hear what you've done to get kicked out."

"Hm", you hummed leaning your head against his biceps and tilted it back looking at the canopy sprinkled with millions of stars.

It has gotten dark quickly after the sunset. You became a bit cold so he gave you his hoodie since you didn't bring a jacket.

You wrapped his oversized hoodie tighter around your body and he put his arm around you to keep you warmer and closer to him.

"I don't know", you said turning your head to him, "before that I want to know about your mum."

His smile was exchanged by a deep frown on his forehead and the light in his eyes burned lower.

"Okay", he said with an emotionless voice, "she left when I was six and about to be sent to school. My dad and she always had issues and eventually she ran off with a much younger man to start a new life. End of story."

"Oh", you said shook how ruthless and cruel a person can be. You couldn't imagine how heartbroken small Taehyungie must have been, "I'm sorry, baby."

"It doesn't matter anymore", he said with a cold expression on his face focusing on something in the distance.

Your heart broke seeing him this way. Maybe he said it didn't matter but you could see how deep it had cut and the scar hasn't healed yet.

You straightened up and pecked his cheek. He looked down at you and his façade crumbled slowly smiling again. He placed his hand under your chin and connected your lips in a soft kiss.

"Your turn", he said pulling away and you sighed.

"Fine", you said thinking about actually telling the truth because he was honest to you even though the memory hurt so much.

"Ah, it was just a foolish teenager mistake", you said backing off, afraid to put your heart on the line. A part in you kept telling you not to trust him.

"Come on, don't-", he began to persuade you, but he was interrupted by several cars pulling up on the parking lot illuminating the light with yellow light cones.

"There they are", you said trying not to sound too disappointed even though you were. Your moment was over. You finally had the feeling you had a breakthrough in your relationship but now it was ruined.

You got up and greeted your friends helping them build up the tables for the drinking games and make a camp fire. You were separated joining your individual friend groups uttering no further words.

"So how's it going with your dare", Carly asked winking and nudged you with her elbow. You were sitting a bit further away from the fire and the others to have a dmc.

"I don't know. It's kind of hard", you said searching with your eyes for him.

"Girl, you got so many charms. Make him fall for you", she encouraged you, "I placed my bet on you, make me proud."

"That son of a b!tch", you cursed underneath your breath when you spotted him talking to a cute girl and getting pretty touchy with her.

Carly followed your gaze and clicked her tongue. "Jealousy, smart", she said nodding, "don't fall for it, he's manipulating you. You have to get back at him."

"You're right", you said shaking your head, he won't get under your skin like this, "two can play this game."

You got up and walked over to the fire. You had already noticed the guy from the sorority party before so you sat down next to him to catch up with him.

"Hii", you said cheerfully touching him on the arm immediately catching Taehyung's attention, "how have you been doing?"

"Hey, Y/N. Long time no see", he said smiling cutely, "I'm good. How are you?"

"I'm good, too. Why don't we go for a short walk to talk a little?", you asked flirty and he nodded. You both got up and slowly walked away from the fire, you clinging on to him like there was no tomorrow.

"Y/N!!", you heard Taehyung's voice calling you from behind. It worked.

You stopped laughing at cute guy's not so funny joke and turned around to look at him freezing in your spot seeing how enraged he was.

"Wha-", you wanted to ask but he cut you off. "We're going", he said gritting his teeth.

"But I-"

"Now. No back talk", he said grabbing your wrist firmly and pulled you away from the guy.

You stumbled after him and were only just able to grab your bag before he kept on dragging you to his car.

"Tae, what's wrong?", you whined, his grip being too tight around your wrist, "it hurts."

He opened the door to the passenger seat and you got in without asking anything else.

"Oh my god, what's going on?", you asked annoyed. He was getting on your nerves acting all up and not even talking to you now after he got into the car.

He started the engine and drove off gripping the steering wheel tightly so his white knuckles were on display.

"What the heck were you doing with that guy?", he asked angrily.

"Huh", you chuckled bitterly, he wasn't really mad because of that, "the same thing you did, making you jealous."

"It looked like more than that", he said fuming with anger and began to drive faster, "tell me the truth, do you like him?"

"No, I don't", you said laughing, "that's ridiculous, Taehyung I don't even know him"

"You're lying!", he said stepping on the gas, "are you planning on leaving me? You like him more than me, don't you?"

"Tae, slow down!", you said getting more and more scared, "I don't know what you're talking about. I like you, okay?"

"No, you're tricking me", he said speeding even more.

You were driving at such a fast speed now that you were scared to death and tears were running down your cheeks.

"Oh God, f*ck that dare", you said crying, "I LOVE YOU, TAEHYUNG. SLOW DOWN!!"

"You love me?", he asked looking at you from the side taking his eyes off the street.

"WATCH OUT!", you screamed at the top of your lungs but it was too late.
