COMPLETED - Boy In Luv 상남자 [Kim Taehyung / V] BTS

chapter 27

Chapter 27:

‘If I train under SM Entertainment, things are going to get better, I can leave all of this behind’ I keep telling myself but no matter how many times I say it, I’m still not happy; but really? What am I afraid of leaving behind? Jimin? Taehyung? All the bullies here? Please!

I was in a local café drinking coffee, hoping I could forget everything that just happened with Taehyung at the park. If only I could drink alcohol then the burden could subside even just for tonight. I’m leaving tomorrow so if I could just get through tonight it would be great.

“Should I really leave?” I asked myself, staring at my cup of coffee.

“Don’t” I heard someone say behind me, I turned around to look at the person and to my surprise it’s Jimin. He looks horrible; I wonder what has he been doing all this time? He didn’t go to school this morning.

“Jimin! Where were you?” I asked him, he just chuckled and shook his head. He sat in front of me with a sad smile.

“I just don’t have the balls to face V so I didn’t go to school” he told me “Can I tell you something, about V?” he asked me, I shook my head slightly, turning my gaze back to my cup of coffee.

“Nothing you can say would make me change my mind” I told him making him sigh.

“Then don’t change your mind, leave for Seoul, but just listen please” he said, he had a desperate look on his face.

“Fine” I muttered, he smile slightly and prepared himself for his story.

“Kim Taehyung, cried when you two broke up, he did not just cry, he went ballistic” he started off, I raised my eyebrow at him.

“What do you mean?” I asked confused.

“He trashed his room, he went on rampage breaking every single thing in his room” He explained “He was so angry for doing all of those things to you that he even wanted to drop out of school”

“Really?” I said surprised at his story.

“Remember when he almost got expelled for punching a teacher but only got suspended for 2 weeks?” he asked.

“Yes, but that was a month after we broke up” I told him

“Because at first he pretended it didn’t bother him, he didn’t want to show you his feelings” he said, I suddenly felt bad for Taehyung, did I really make him that way? Was he really that hurt when we broke up? But he made those choices so he deserves it! Right?

“He wanted you to continue your life hating him so you two would never get back together, because if you two did, he knows he’ll just hurt you again” he added, tears started to build up in my eyes but I tried to fight them back, I can’t believe Taehyung! I don’t know what to think of him anymore “he gave you up because he couldn’t live with the guilt of dating you because of a bet, but losing you was way harder on him than what he thought”

“I think we should stop talking about this” I said sobbing, tears started streaming down so I held my head low trying to hide it from Jimin.

“I know how devastated he was when he lost you, I saw it with my own eyes, no matter how calm and uninterested he looks at school, it’s different when it’s just us, what more when he’s alone? I just couldn’t let my bestfriend stay like that so I wanted to help him, even if it means being a douche to you and to him” He said making me cry even more.

“I don’t know what to do” I cried to Jimin, he placed his finger under my chin and lift it up so I could face him, he smiled at me.

“Do what your heart tells you” he advised.

What does my heart want? I know what my brain tells me, to go to Seoul; but what does my heart tell me? I don’t know, I was too afraid to consult my heart for the answer because it might get broken again, but I think I know what it wants, and that’s to be happy.

Where does my happiness come from anyway?

“Here” Jimin said handing me a flash drive, I gave him a questioning look he just smiled “watch it when you get home”

…

I was on my way home when I walked by a shop, it was a shop that sells artists’ merchandise. I decided to check it out and it was every fangirls’ dream. Merchandise from every artist were displayed in the shop, from Polaris to Starship to N.A.P to BigHit to YG to JYP and even SM Entertainment.

I headed to the SME department and saw all of their artists displayed all over the section. I was in awe with them; although they were just posters and merchandise I couldn’t help but feel startstruck towards them.

“I have an opportunity to choreograph for Super Junior, f(x), SHINee, Girls Generation, even EXO” I said to myself as I browsed around their items.

“I could maybe meet artists from different agencies too” I added trying to pep talk myself into going without regrets.

“Oh Lei, you’re here” I heard someone say, it was Suga, he was wearing the shop’s uniform, so I’m guessing he works here?

“I was just browsing around, I’m a huge fan of EXO” I said as I grabbed an EXO glow stick from the shelf and examined it.

“So I’m guessing you’re excited to work with them soon?” he asked me, my eyes grew wide at his question, so BTS does know that I’m leaving for Seoul, damn Jimin for telling them.

“It would take me years of training to actually work with them” I said then let out a chuckle

“We may not have hung out that much but we’ll definitely miss you Lei” he said with a smile, I smiled back at him “Here” he said handing me a coffee mug with EXO’s picture on it.

“What’s this for?” I asked him

“A parting gift, so you won’t forget us” he told me, I smiled and gladly accept it; giving him a 90 degrees bow “Get me an autograph of Chanyeol ok?”

“Will do!” I told him and we both chuckled.
