Creepin
The weekend

"I don't wanna know, if you're playing me, Keep it on the low
Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you creeping, please don't let it show Oh baby, I don't wanna know."

Ok.

Great.

Just fucking great. Where the hell am I? How in the world am I the main character in this drama? Taehyung tried to be sweet with me, calmed me down with kisses and hugs, and introduced me to his ex as his girlfriend. Wow, I should be thankful, shouldn't I? But why do I feel so uncomfortable around her? Jennie is a beautiful woman. I mean I have eyes and his ex is disgustingly stunning and cute. She's very ladylike even in her behavior and fashion.

It's impossible to compete with her cause she would win in terms of visuals and popularity. What I've heard is, she's Kai's childhood friend. They're really close, even physically. Jennie is touchy with everyone here except me. She doesn't know me and I'm her ex's new girlfriend. It would be weird if she acts all sweet and friendly. Our eyes have met a few times but I can't decipher what her stares mean. I feel chills whenever her dark irises land on me.

"Damn it, she's a ten!" My eyes are stuck at the back of my head as I hear my ex's voice approaching me. Yoongi must've noticed that I'm secretly watching Jennie. The way she walks so elegantly, always with a smile on her beautiful unique face, is hard to oversee. Especially when she's around Taehyung. I don't want to act bitchy but I won't watch this any longer if she's going to play like this.

"If she's a ten, why are you with me then?" That's what Yoongi gets as an answer from me. His deep groan causes me to frown and I  stare with confusion at him. My ex already has this mischievous grin, which is usually connected with an evil thought. "What?"

"I know exactly what your plan is, baby." Yoongi wiggles his eyebrows, confusing me even more. I shake my head, showing him I don't get what he's saying. "You want me to lure her so that she's out of your way, right?" As he's talking he gets closer to my ear, whispering the last words. His breath hits me and a chill of discomfort arises in my chest. I immediately step away from him causing a gap between us.

Yoongi's perfume is waking up memories. The man right beside me is my first love and I remember how much I adored him, how I trusted him the most. He was my safe zone whenever my world was cracking. His touch on my body, the kisses we shared, his gentle words, Yoongi's whole being was once my everything, and now he's just somebody I used to know. A stranger I fell in love with, who ruled my world yet shattered all my beliefs. He scooped my heart out until nothing was left and we grew apart to the point where we are now. Just two strangers again.

This conclusion makes me sad, my attention shifts to the man who's my peace when I'm fighting a battle within me, Taehyung, my love. What if we also grow apart? What if, everything that he feels toward me right now, all the love he's giving me changes into nothing? When his lovely eyes aren't searching for me but for someone else? My heart is aching in pain, only the thought of not having Taehyung by my side makes my stomach twist. I don't want us to end up like Yoongi and I did.

"Yoongi, do you know me that little?" The man that I used to love is looking at me. He opens his mouth but before he's able to say anything, I already know the trash he's going to tell. Reading his body language informs me that he wants to say anything sexual. "We spent two years together and you still don't know me? That's very sad."

He should know that I would never put a stunt on the person I love. Even if Jennie is the biggest challenge I won't play dirty just to get what I want. It's not that I'll stay silent like I did in the past, no, I will perform when I have to. Yoongi's hand rests on the little of my back which causes my body to tense at his sudden touch. His face is coming closer to my ears again but instead of shrugging away from him, I listen to his words.

"Men are all the same when it comes to a beautiful woman. Our brain stops functioning when we get an opportunity. No matter how in love we might be, the penis will always win, so be alert, your boyfriend is nothing different from me or any other man here!" My ex's hand runs slowly down my back to the curve where my hips start but before he can grab what he wants I push him hardly away. Yoongi laughs the situation off but I know he meant what he said.

"Don't compare Taehyung with yourself. He's different. You don't know him!" The rage in my voice is audible but I control the volume from being too loud and disturb the happy mood. If my eyes could burn, Yoongi would be fried chicken by now. He rubs his index finger under his nose. A smirk on his lips which I know too well.

"Oh yeah, how well do you know him? Every man is different in front of a beautiful woman." His tone sounds so teasing, a feeling of insecurity crawls up my spine. I hate this feeling.

"I trust Taehyung."

"Trust? That's so cute." My ex's chuckles are evil and so are his eyes. "Remember, you trusted me as well, and look where it brought you." I bite my lips until I taste blood on my tongue. Never was I someone who could hurt someone physically but right now I'd give anything to punch his grimace. The audacity to say this to my face is cutting another scar open.

"It brought me to a better place. I'm actually glad that happened 'cause I would have never woken up from that nightmare you kept me hostage." I say confidently to cover my pain. Yoongi's smile fades away. If an expression could get darker, his face would be the definition of it. In the past, I saw him angry and upset a lot but this face of a devil is also new to me. And this is scary.

"Just wait until he finds out about your past. About your daddy issues." He knows that this topic is triggering me because he's smiling in triumph again. "Not everyone will react so nicely as I did. But I have a question, if he's different, why is he not with you but with his ex laughing and chatting so freely? Shouldn't he be all lovey-dovey with you?" This man loves to see me down, I guess. He walks closer but rather than blocking him away, I do nothing. I am too taken aback by his statement that I don't recognize a person shielding me from Yoongi's approach.

His slim yet fit body covers my sight of my ex-boyfriend. The sweet fragrance of oranges swallows my attention to the blond man standing in between Yoongi and me. I don't know why this guy is doing this but he was here at the right time. "What's the problem here? Do you have anything to do with my friend's girlfriend?" Jimin's low tone is something I don't hear often but I know when he's talking in this voice he's rather upset or angry. He spoke to me with this kind of voice at Naomi's place. When he wasn't pleased with my intention of not doing him.

"She's my ex. Am I not allowed to speak to her? Who are you?" As expected, Yoongi always has something to argue about. He has changed a lot since we parted. Jimin shifts his head behind to look at me. Surprisingly with a soft and encouraging expression on that handsome face. The blond man's body tenses as he turns his attention back to my ex. He puts his hands into the pockets of his black ripped jeans.

"Listen, you're my guest even though I didn't know Kai would bring someone else besides Jennie but if you're going to act like the jealous ex-boyfriend and cause a scene, I   won't hold back and kick you out of my house. So stop bullying Crystal and keep your distance from now on. She's here with my best friend, which means I have to protect her from getting hurt!" Jimin's words impress me. But is he saying the truth?

Yoongi leaves without a single word. My boyfriend's best buddy turns around to face me. A sad smile on his plump lips caught my vision. "Thank you?" I say unsure. He however smiles brightly until it reaches his eyes, forming them into small crescents. That's when it shows me he was genuine with what he said.

"God, your situation is not very appealing. Didn't know your ex is Korean. Where is he from?" Is this a joke or is he actually asking out of curiosity about Yoongi after putting him in his place? I shrug my shoulders and scoff at his question.

"His parents are from Daegu but they moved to the US when Yoongi was four years old."

"No way, did you know that Tae is also from Daegu? His grandparents moved there again. It would be funny if they were related." I can't believe what he's saying. Jimin is cracking while holding his stomach from laughing too much. It's not that funny to me though.

"Stop it, their name is Min, and Tae's surname is Kim don't invoke Lucifer. That would be awful." Hoseok seems to have noticed Jimin's laughter as he joins his friend with his loud organ not even knowing the reason why they're laughing. Everyone in the room is watching us with a smile but I miss a pair of eyes. I expected his reaction the most yet he didn't take notice of what happened. He should have been the one protecting me from my ex. He should be next to me and laughing but instead of my boyfriend, his friends are with me.

Yoongi wasn't entirely wrong. I am wondering why Taehyung is not beside me. Maybe he wants to catch up with his ex. I don't know their story but it could be that they broke up on good terms. Now that I think about it, I don't know anything about his past relationships but do I have to know that?

My boyfriend is unpacking the beverages and putting them into the fridge while Jennie is next to him. They're talking in their mother tongue, Korean. I didn't learn their language. Why should I? There's no reason. But the way they sound so happy together is aching in my chest. Yoongi and I aren't able to have a normal conversation without ending up in a fight. Yet again, my situation might be different from Taehyung's but it is still weird watching them in their world.

"What was the reason they broke up?" This question leaves my mouth louder than I thought. It's too late to take it back because Jimin already heard me. I feel his presence behind me. He takes a deep breath and nothing could have prepared me for his words.

"Jennie didn't want to marry him." My jaw dropped in shock at this information. How is that possible? "You may ask why she didn't want him, right?" I nod my head quietly. "Taehyungie is a possessive person who gets jealous easily and Jen is more open and outgoing. Has a lot of male friends which was constantly the topic of all their fights. It got worse when she moved to NYC to study. Jen met new people and that's when they started to grow apart. Tae loved her so much, he was crazy for her that he couldn't imagine a life without her so that's why he proposed to her but she didn't accept it."

A heavy sigh leaves my lungs. Just the thought of how broken Taehyung must have been at that moment when she rejected his proposal makes me want to cry for him. Jimin stands next to me, his eyes glued to his best friend behind the kitchen counter. "He was a mess after they broke up. I never saw my best friend that devastated and desperate. Jennie cut a piece of Taehyung's happiness and left an empty soul and body behind. I don't know if he ever healed from that because as far as I know they're still in contact and call each other from time to time.

Jimin's eyes are on me but I don't look at him. If I do I know my tears will break out. It's enough to feel his gaze pitting me. But what did he think I would do with this information? Throw a tantrum or act up? I'm not the type for that, not when other people are watching. All I can think about is Jimin's last sentence but I chant to myself to not believe him. I need to ask Taehyung first. It's hard to keep calm when the person who broke my love's heart is now next to him.

This woman is casually touching his forearm but what angers me the most is that he doesn't care if she does. Taehyung is so sucked up in her poison that he forgets about me. I, his girlfriend, am standing the whole time just inches away but he didn't notice me once. Just when I see Jennie going behind my boyfriend to hug him, all the lights in my system alarm me. With a hard grip, I grab Taehyung's wrist and drag him forcefully after me to our room on the second floor. With a loud thud, I close the door behind me with a kick.

"Love_"

"Tae, what the hell are you doing?" I'm battling my tears from falling but it's hard now that I have the man I love in front of me. He looks so confused and I think to myself if I'm exaggerating. "Didn't you notice how clingy she is towards you?"

"Oh, don't worry, she's with everyone_"

"But you're not just anyone to her, she's your ex. You loved her and wanted to marry her, even asked her." Shit, this was too much. His already big eyes double in size and he doesn't seem too happy with the information I gained.

"That's in the past, Crystal. Why are you so hyped up about Jen?" Taehyung calling me by my name is a sign that he's not pleased but what I despise more is the way he's saying her name.

"Because you're my boyfriend yet you've been with her the whole time since she arrived here. You didn't even notice how my ex-boyfriend bullied me because of you both flirting. And Jimin was the one who saved me. You should have been the one doing that. The one who should have protected me from Yoongi's nasty words. Am I, not yours? Don't I belong with you?" My fight is a loss as my tears stream down my cheeks. I hate that I'm so weak but these tears aren't sad droplets. They're tears of anger.

Taehyung's gaze softens at my outburst and takes me in his arms. He whispers I'm sorry into my ears as he tightens his embrace around my figure. His warmth is calming me down. I deeply inhale his scent, it's my safe haven. This man is my person but am I his person as well? I don't dare to ask him about what Jimin told me. The fright of the truth is too enormous and I don't know if I'm ready to let go of him.

Let's just pretend Jimin didn't say anything. I want to stay in this dream for a while. Taehyung is my man.
