I watched Taehyung as we strolled down the shool yard together. His pastel shirt fluttered around his rather lean body that made me question if he actually got anything to eat at home - considering that he eats a damn load of food in school, and he had his arms crossed in front of his chest as if he wanted to hide himself.

"Thanks for waiting for me. You didn't have to, you know."

He smiled, "It was partly my fault that you got into detention."

"Nah not really." I said, trying my best to come off as reassuring, "Should I walk you home? I don't have anything to do anyways."

Tae looked away, a mixture of embarrassement and uneasieness radiating from him, "N-No."

"I mean, I- don't have to go all the way wi-"

"Let's grab some ice cream instead." Tae said with a soft smile, interruping my messy flow of words.

I nodded. Ice cream sounds nice.

Mint Chocolate Chip

What. The. Fuck.

We were sitting on a park bench and I watched him eating his ice cream sceptically while lustlessly eating my modest chocolate flavoured one, staring absently into space.

I thought about what happened in math class and what happened when Tae overslept at my place. How he seemed to be so much more comfortable around me.

How I seemed to be so much more comfortable around him.

Until-

"No way! Taehyung?"

Taehyung's eyes spotted someone behind me and his eyes lit up in a way I've never seen before.

I turned around, to see a tall, dark haired - and undeniably handsome - boy with big doe eyes walking towards us, till he towered above Tae.

Latter showed the brightest rectangular smile ever, an over joyed expression on his face, "Kookie!"

Kookie laughed and slung his arms around the pink haired boy, making him giggle cutely.

"What are you doing here? I thought you moved away?"

The dark haired boy chuckled, "Well yeah- to Seoul."

Tae's mouth formed a silent 'oh' in realization and he began to giggle again and I felt like an intruder in a sickingly sweet scene.

Or the best friend of the protagonist in a cheesy romance drama.

Taehyung averted his attention back to me, this wide smile still plastered on his face, "This is Jungkook. He was my only friend in Daegu but he moved away and I never saw him again."

He said the last part of the sentence with a pout that made Jungkook laugh.

I registered how small Taehyung looked besides Jungkook. They were about the same height but there was something about the other male that made Tae look tiny besides him.

And well, I felt like an ugly dwarf between both of them.

Jungkook flashed me a charming smile as he asked: "And you are?"

Me being me didn't bother asnwering with anything near a similar smile and I answered 'Y/N' while watching him suspisciously.

The dark hair cocked a brow and sent an asking glance in Taehung's direction, who just laughed, "Don't mind her she's always like this."

I scowled and slumped back in my place on the bench, feeling belittled by my only friend.

Yeah maybe I was sulking like a six years old, so what?

"How did you two meet?" Jungkook asked curiously.

"Oh she's from my class."

The younger smiled, his eyes wrinkling at this cutely, "So you finally made some friends?"

Taehyung's smile dropped at this and I noticed how he unconsciously hid his bare arms.

Jungkook of course noticed this and his happy expression was replaced by a concerned one, "Oh Tae, what-"

"I'm okay Kook, really."

"Don't lie to me Tae."

I watched them both intensly and tried to figure out what their relationship had been before their ways separated.

Honestly, till this moment I thought I was the only friend Taehyung ever had and I never really cared about his past in Daegu.

But seeing him talking with Jungkook so confidential made me feel so... unspecial.

I know, I know.

I should be happy for Taehyung finally be reunited with his friend but strangely... I wasn't.

I felt uneasy and wanted to just go away.

Think of it what you want.

But I only then realized how I had grown so accustomed to having Taehyung - the bright, cheery and broken Taehyung - all alone to me that I, now that I knew that there were other people in his life, just wanted to back out.

Ah my selfish ass. There are moments where I just want to throw myself out of a window.

I of course stayed by Taehyung's side but I missed our togetherness the next few days, because there was always a charmingly smiling, soft spoken Jungkook accompanying us after school.

Jungkook was nice and everything- but I couldn't get myself to like him.

Especially not when Taehyung allowed him to walk him home.

Everytime I saw them walking away together I had this weird feeling in my tummy I couldn't quite name at this time.

Today I can.

And as ashamed as I am to say this but I was hella jealous.

Ahahahaha

If only I knew-
