Taehyung doesn't know how to read palms.
It was a mini prank by Jimin.
After class, Taehyung kept apologizing for Jimin including me in his mischievous plans.
He kept saying that he knew it probably made me uncomfortable.
But the truth is... Taehyung's hand had a lot of warmth.
I think about it all over again while deciding what to grab from the cafe in our uni.
"Oh. Hey, Seolli!"
Turning to look over my shoulder, I spot Julia and Karie near me. In their hands are chips and bottles of juice.
They have a strong gaze that I can't quite match. I hope they caught my smile before I looked away.
"Sooo can we ask about yesterday?" Karie asks.
"Yeah, what's between you and Taehyung?" Julia throws up her eyebrow and walks over right next to me. I can't help but tense up.
"M-mm?" I look at the snacks in front of me, my mind freaking out.
"We knew you were close with him, but didn't expect you to be close close with him."
I suck in my breath, my face feeling like it's warming up.
Is it a problem to be so close to him?
Are they just curious?
Why do I feel weird with them asking me?
"Oh. She suddenly doesn't want to talk to us." Julia talks to Karie as if I'm not here anymore. "That's okay. You don't have to tell us, I guess."
That's not the case!
Why can't I say anything?
"Seriously? You know others think that you're too icy to approach. We thought that you were just quiet, but I guess we were wrong."
My heart sinks down. My other classmates think that I don't talk to them on purpose?
I find it hard to swallow my spot and almost choke. I want to say something to them.
It's all a misunderstanding!
But my heart is pounding and the blood is rushing through me so fast I feel like I'm going to faint.
"...Let's go." Julia walks away with Karie.
My shoulders fall as I lift my head to see them leave.
Why am I so weak?
I thought that I had improved. I thought that talking to Taehyung and his friends helped me, but in reality I still couldn't talk to people.
It's so frustrating.
Am I relying on Taehyung too much?
Am I really so weak alone?
Feeling frustrated with myself, I turn away and head out of the cafe.
I lost my appetite.
