The One Next Door |KTH

Chapter 29

Kookie came running up to me during the lunch time. 

"Noona~" 

"Kookie!" I asked. "Why are you here?" 

"I need to ask you something..." 

"Yea?" 

"You know when I called you the day before yesterday?" Jungkook stared at me. 

I recalled my fear of spiders, then Taehyung being in my apartment and then the...k-kiss- 

My eyes widened. 

Jungkook was still on the phone when Taehyung kissed me-! 

"Y-yea?" I stuttered. 

"You answered but you didn't talk for 5 minutes and then you hung up...?" He asked. 

Oh yea...Taehyung grabbed my phone and hung up...

"O-Oh...really?" I laughed awkwardly. 

"Did something happen?" 

"Y-yea..." I looked away trying not to look suspicious. "A-anyway, I still own you a lunch! how about now?" I hurriedly switched the topic. 

"Sure..." Jungkook walked away to a spare seat. 

I sighed out of relief before strolling to the canteen. 

"Noona, you have to help me with my project today before I die out of stress." Jungkook looked up at me while eating. 

"Yea..." I was lost in my thoughts of what happened the other day...

"Where do you want to go? My house?"  

"I will trash your room you know." I sneered. "I don't mind if you come to mine." 

"Oh well. I'll trash yours too then." He chuckled. 

"Yah. You're turning into Taehyun-" I instantly stopped, realizing what I had just said. 

There was an awkward silence before Jungkook spoke up. 

"Is Kim Taehyung like that?" 

"Y-yea. He makes fun of me a lot. That bastard." I muttered. 

"He teases you?" 

I slightly nodded and stared down at the table. Even though I call him a jerk, my heart seems to pound heavily as I mention his name. 

Do I...have feelings for him? No way...

Jungkook's POV

Noona is blushing... Does she like Kim Taehyung a lot? I stared at her for while and when she met eye contact, I turned away. 

"I'm going to go to class now bye noona." I stood up from my seat. 

"Oh bye!" Her voice came from behind. 

I walked down the corridors, glimpsing Kim Taehyung sleeping by a tree through a nearby window. I turned around and walked his direction. 

"Kim Taehyung." I called out to him. 

He remained silent, eyes still closed. 

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a small figure standing opposite me. She stood there, confused. 

I took the chance...

"Do you like Mi Yeong?" My words fell out. 

His eyes slowly opened. 

"It's none of your business." He replied coldly. 

"Do you like her?" I asked firmly. 

"Does this involve you?" He tilted his head to the side. 

"Mi Yeong seems to have feelings for you. Are you just playing?" 

His eyes were fixed on me. A sharp gaze. 

"So what if I was?" His answer came out coldly. 

Mi Yeong's POV

His monotonous voice echoed in my head. 

My heart seemed to slowly break into pieces. His cold answer pierced my heart, my feelings and my hope. I don't even know why I felt this way. 

Perhaps I do have feelings  for him but that's all gone now. His response had answered everything.

He was playing with me...

and I was foolishly played.
