House of Cards {Taehyung x Reader}

Chapter 18

I haven't been to school in a month. Last time I came was weird. I looked like I just got off the runway had my entire crew waiting for me outside of school. Now I walked through the halls in leggings and Jungkook's sweater, or at least I think it's his. Everyone made a path as I walked through the halls, Kang and Ryu close behind. The students whispers were loud. It was hard being at school when everyone knew I was dating Tae, now they know I was just shot.

Luckily all the fans took Suga's plea to heart. I've been back for a few days and I haven't been stopped once, except at the airport where a group of girls waited to give me flowers.

My walking began to slow. All the anxiety and jet lag made my injury hurt a lot more. Without asking Ryu took my heavy backpack from me while Kang handed me some pain killers.

"Are you okay?" Ryu asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little nervous to be back." I tried to avoid everyone's gaze. I continued to my next class. Once we got to the door Kang and Ryu stayed by the outside of the door while I walked in to join my friends.

"(y/n)!" They all yelled and ran over to hug me.

"I still can't believe you're back." (f/n) continued to hug me after the others pulled away.

"Yeah me either." I put on a convincing smile. The bell rang and we all sat at the table in the back like usual. Throughout the class they three of them made jokes and tried to include me, I'm glad they're trying.

...

I was relieved when the lunch bell rang. My last two classes I was alone and as much as I wanted to be by myself right now being around my friends was nice. I was so used to walking around with security guards that I didn't even notice mine follow me, they stopped at the lunchroom entrance and I walked over to the lunch line. The lunch lady dropped a pile of slop and a cup of day old fruit on my tray causing me to shutter.

I dropped the tray on the table in front of my friends, I could feel myself lose my appetite.

"You can have my ramen if you want, I'll eat yours." Jackie smiled and scooted her cup of ramen towards me. I stared down at it, all the memories of the late night ramen runs with Jin and Jimin came back to me. Reluctantly I took it.

"Chopsticks?" I asked. She gave me a weird look before handing me a white plastic fork, "That works." Instead of eating it I pushed around the noodles. The sound of sneakers squeaking against the floor broke me from my thoughts.

"Did you guys see those giant asian dude by the front?" The girl jumped into the seat next to me. "Oh... Who's this?" She turned to me.

"Elle, this is (y/n)." (f/n) introduced me. "She just got back from Korea."

"Korea?" She took a second. "Oh. OH. You're- You- You're (f/n) (l/n)!" She yelled.

"Nice to meet you, I'm going to guess you're an ARMY?"

"You bet I am. But I told myself that once I meet you that I would keep my cool." She dramatically swiped her hand over her face to calm her face. She immediately began laughing with the other. She told jokes that I didn't get and she talked about events I was absent from. I missed a lot while I was away, are we all even friends anymore?

Suddenly one of Alex's friends from the football field sat next to (f/n) and kissed her on the cheek before joining the others. I watched in shock while the others acted like that was a normal occurrence.

"Okay, (f/n), I get he's your boyfriend but I'm still a little salty you didn't come bowling with us just so you could go sleep with him." Louise spoke. I choked on my own spit at her words.

"Sleep with him?! /how long have you been dating!" I whispered aggressively.

"Since the last time you were here." A shocked look was still on my face, "It's not that big of a deal, how long had you and Taehyung been dating before you slept with him." My face fell and I looked down at the floor.

"We haven't..."

"You're kidding me!" Jackie laughed. "You live with him and you've never done anything sexual?"

"I think you're forgetting that we share a room with RM, plus he's about as horny as a new born baby. I don't even think he's seen me naked before." My own words made me self conscious.

"Have you seen him.. You know. Naked?" Louise prodded.

"I've seen them all half naked."

"Oh lucky!" They all yelled.

"But I've never seen him 100% naked." I cut them off. Taehyung and I never talked about that kind of stuff, it never seemed important. Our relationship was mainly about hanging out together, playing games and messing around. Plus we're almost always around the others which stopped us from doing a lot of activities. There was only one time we were even close to doing it but then Jungkook walked in and started talking.

"Ms. (l/n)." Kang appeared behind me. He held out his phone to me, "It's Bang PD." I heard the other girls squeal as I took the phone.

"Hello?" I spoke in Korean.

"(y/n)! How is everything?"

"Good, is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine, I just wanted to go over what your schedule will be while you're overseas." I heard him rustle through some papers. "You will continue Korean lessons and we have set up a personal trainer and nutritionist for you to visit."

"I still have to diet while I'm here? I thought I get a break?"

"No breaks, do you think the boys get breaks?"

"Yes." The phone fell quiet.

"Your schedule starts tomorrow." He hung up without saying goodbye. I let out a grunt and laid my head on the table.

"This is stupid." I mumbled.

"(y/n), we can't speak Korean" Jackie said.

"Sorry." I switched back to english. I handed the phone back to Kang and he walked back to his spot. Don't get me wrong, I love Bang PD, and all of the managers and crew but they can be a lot.

...

The end of the day came and I was driven home. As I walked into my house I could smell the warmth of cookies in the oven.

"Mom?"

"Oh honey! How was your first day at school?"

"Good." She kissed my forehead and I sat at the table. I really did miss them while I was away, I never really talked to them because of the time change. I've never been really close to my parents, I love them and would do anything for them but we never had deep talks like other families did. They care about me what they are pretty lose with rules, I could do anything I wanted as long as I had a least a 3.4 GPA.

"I won't be eating dinner with you guys tonight. Taehyung and I are eating together on skype." I informed.

"Oh, okay." She sounded slightly disappointed. "Get your homework done before you call him." She brushed off her feelings and put on a smile.

"I will, love you!" I ran back up to my room. The day could have been worse.

A/N: I had THE WORST writers block while writing this chapter. There is so many things I have planned for this fanfic and I just ant to skip to them, ugh. Anyway thanks for reading! I promise more eventful things will happen in the next few chapters. <3 -M
