House of Cards {Taehyung x Reader}

Chapter 28

'Works been crazy. Took a vacation. Currently on a cruise in the Bahamas. Love you! -Mom and Dad.'

I'm not mad but they could have told me before I started worrying for their safety. I placed the yellow sticky note back on the counter after reading it for the 10th time. Time was my first day back at school.

I'm honestly nervous to go back. I have no one now. Who am I going to sit with at lunch? Who's spanish notes am I going to copy? Who will I talk to when I'm having guy troubles..

New messages:

Jhorse: Good luck today!

Taebae: Text me if you ever need to talk :)

Chim chim: I think I'm wearing your pants.

Sugacane: Work hard.

Chim chim: I like them, you're not getting them back.

I laughed at the texts. Just hearing from them makes me feel better about going to school. I packed up my bag and got in my car. It's weird driving myself around again.

Pulling up to the school I watched as the familiar faces walked into the brick building. "Just get out and start walking." I pumped myself up. Without looking back I swung open my door and grabbed by backpack and made my way inside.

Fewer people than usual whispered about me. Maybe my school will finally adapt to me being around.

...

The school day was slow, like normal. I sat at an empty table in the lunchroom. My home made lunch was completely unappealing. I should really consider paying attention in foods, maybe I'd be able to make good food for once.

"Excuse me," A girl stood next me, I've never seen her before. "Is it okay if I sit with you? I'm new."

"Yeah of course." She let out a small sigh of relief before sitting across from me.
"I hate sitting alone." She started, "I'm Misha."

"(y/n)." I smiled at her, she seemed nice.

"Are you new too? I just kind of assumed since you're sitting alone."

"Oh, no. My old friends just didn't feel like being friends anymore."

"Oh god, I'm sorry. When I'm nervous I ramble and sometimes I come off as rude." She picked up her fork from her tray and nervously played with it.

"All good." I smiled as she eased up.
I spent lunch talking with her. She just moved to California from Colorado and had been homeschooled all her life.

Every once in awhile I would look back at my friends, they were watching me. I miss them.
Once lunch ended I showed Misha to her next class which happened to be in the same hallway as mine. Maybe I wouldn't be so alone after all.

Sitting in class was painful. I went from Hawaii to math within a day and it was terrible. All during math I focused on doodling instead of doing the work. My assignment was covered in BT21 characters by the end of the class.

Finally physics was next. I had to present my poster to the class, which happened to consist of 8 other students. Half way through the lesson the teacher motioned for me to step up to the front. I unrolled the poster as I went. The front was still as glittery as ever but the back that used to be blank was filled with familiar Hangul and drawings.

All of the drawings I could identify as Jungkook's and the writing said "I told him to stop - Jin" and "Heyyyy -Jimin". I tried to hide the back as best as possible while presenting. The class giggled a bit as the glitter fell off, the teacher just sighed. As I finished my speech I realized that the class had dozed off and I was only talking to my teacher. I missed 4 wheeling to make this, the least they could do is listen.

After handing in my poster and listening to the rest of the lecture it was finally time to go home. As I walked through the halls I flipped through my emails to find my schedule. Big hit send me a monthly calendar to 'keep me on track'. Today I had to visit a personal trainer to lose my Hawaii weight.

"Hey! (Y/n)!" I turned to see Misha running at me through the crowd. "Do you want to hang out today? I've only been in town for like.. 3 days." She counted on her fingers, "and I haven't really been out yet." She smiled brightly.

"Actually I have-" I stopped. No one is here to force me to go. "I'd love to." We started walking towards the exit closest to the parking lot.

As soon as I turned on the car Intro: Wings started playing, I quickly turned it down.
"Its okay if you're into kpop, I don't judge." She held her hands up innocently.

"You're not a fan of BTS?" She shook her head. "Oh thank god."

"Why?"

"Everyone at this school is, you and I will definitely get along." She get my a confused look but brushed it off.

We drove around town. I showed her where all the good coffee shops where and where you can get alcohol without being carded.

I parked the car and we began walking. It was a really nice spring day, perfect for a walk. We first grabbed 2 ice cream cones before making our way to a nearby park.

We continued to make small talk before settling down on a bench that looked over the playground. Dozens of little kids were playing on it, laughing loudly.

"I can't wait to have kids." She took a big lick of her ice cream. "Just think about creating a mini me make me so excited! What about you? Do you want kids?" She turned to me.

"Oh uhm, of course but I'm going to adopt." I avoided eye contact, she still doesn't know who I'm dating and what happened to me. Should I tell her?"

"Is there a reas-" She was cut off by my phone ringing.

Incoming call: Bang PD.

I turned to her, "I have to take this but also don't be alarmed, I speak Korean." I gave her no time to answer before picking up the phone.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked.

"I just got a call from the trainer. He said you never showed up?"

"That's because I didn't go." Why did I say that. Ugh, sometimes my own cheekiness annoys me.

"You signed the contract, you have to keep your image up. All 8 of you have gained weight during your trip, even they have to go to the gym. It's not just you." He explained. Memories us the 8 of us at the luau popped in my head, it was so fun.

"I know, I'm sorry. I'll go tomorrow!"

"You better." He hung up. At this point Misha probably got the idea that she's in for more than she bargained for. But she still doesn't seem to realize that I'm dating a BTS member.

...

After a few more hours of driving around I finally took Misha home and went my own way. I checked my dietary plan before making myself dinner which ended up tasting terrible. Except surprisingly the smoothie wasn't that bad.

Group chat: "the dorm"

(Y/n): guys I made a halfway decent smoothie. Next time I see you I'll make you all one.

Kookie: please spare us.

A/N: WE HIT 1K!! Thank you all so so so much. In honor of this event I have posted the first chapter to a new fanfic. This time it's a Jimin x Reader called Danger. Enjoy! -M
