Next day of work was extremely difficult to endure. It was good that the Café had many customers but after serving continously for quite a few hours it felt more and more sickening.

Your shift was about to be over and people kept on leaving. Irene had made sure that everything was alright to leave you alone for a few minutes. So that she could quickly run over to the beauty shop and buy a new lipstick. Amber had tried to prove that Irene's lipstick tasted like a lollipop. Turned out it didn't.

The door opened and you sighed, not a new customer. But it wasn't a customer, it was Taehyung. He seemed extremely jittery and looked around to find you. Your reflex made you sit down, hoping he wouldn't see you behind the bar. But sadly he saw you because he went behind the bar to see you sitting on the ground.

Quickly you stood up, trying to cool down yourself.

"Someone is clearly not happy about seeing me again.", he said while your back was still facing him.

This time you really thought it had been the last time seeing him but again - here he was.

"Wow, how did you know?", you mumbled and started washing the cups.

He sighed and stood right next to you, watching you do your work. And that's what he did for a couple minutes, standing beside you, watching you do your work.

"I need to talk to you.", he said when you were finally finished.

A little laugh escaped your mouth making his eyebrows rise. Oh so he thought you couldn't laugh anymore? No chance you would show him how much of a mess you felt.

"Not again, Taehyung."

"No, look I seriously need to tell you something now, it's really important for me."

You stood still looking at him. 90% of you urged to find out about what he wanted to tell you. But the other 10% were meaning it better with you.
His eyes were drilling into you and there was this familiar tension again. In another world you would take a step forward and kiss him. In this world Irene came in to prevent the worst.

"You work here?", her high voice suddenly interrupted your staring contest.

You two turned around immediately, Irene looking like a bomb about to explode.

Taehyung shook his head.

"Then please leave this area and go take a sit.", she pointed towards the tables.

He nodded and with slow steps he went over to a table, his gaze always on you.
Irene came over and put her hand around your waist.

"You alright?", she almost whispered and made sure Taehyung wouldn't hear it.

"Yes, he wants to talk to me."

She let out a little laugh before moving closer to your ear.

"Go home and leave through the backdoor. Now."

You didn't think much further and just decided to do as she had said. In only a few seconds you had changed your clothes and were ready to leave. You gave Irene a little hand sign to show you were leaving. She was giving a little nod, walking over to Taehyung. He was looking around confused, probably wondering where you were. But before Irene could tell him that you had left you were already running home, again with tears streaming down your face.

Friday had finally come and you couldn't wait for the weekend. Jimin had promised to take you out on a date. On top of that Wendy, your high school friend, was coming home. She had spent the past year in Canada for studying. She had left exactly a week before Taehyung had broken up with you. Or well you broke up with him, this thing who broke up with who was a bit confusing. You had to tell her very often to stay in Canada and not come over and told her you were doing alright. She felt like the worst friend but actually she was like your sister. And with her coming back home you wanted to make her feel like that.

But at first you had to survive the day in uni. You fell asleep in the first lecture but after two coffees you felt more than alive in the second lecture. This day was going well so far. Your brain was working well and Jimin waiting for you in the cafeteria to eat lunch together was making the day even better.

"Hey!", a deep voice startled you.

A grip suddenly pushed you back into a room. There was no time to scream and as you saw who your kidnapper was you were thankful you hadn't screamed. It was Taehyung.

"What are you doing Taehyung? I'm meeting someone now!", you raised your wrist making your bracelet shake around your wrist.

Taehyung took your wrist into his hands to look at the bracelet. His expression was once again unreadable.

"Was this a present from Jimin?"

You nodded.

"That's so cliché.", he smirked before letting go of your wrist.

"So you think a necklace is no cliché?", you snapped at him referring to his present he gave to you.

His expression hardened and it looked as if you had succeeded in being sassy. After long sigh he looked back at you, making your legs all wobbly again.

"You ran away yesterday?", his eyes were drilling into yours and his voice sounded rougher as usual.

"My shift was over so... I went home."

"You were running.", he crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows.

"You saw me?"

He nodded.
This was embarrassing. But whatever, you couldn't embarrass yourself in front of him anymore. Still loving him and not getting over him after everything he had done was probably the most embarrassing thing to ever happen in your life.

"I wanted to tell you something.", he continued after a little break.

"Obviously I didn't want to hear it.", you tried being sassy again but it didn't come off like that. You were scared about what he wanted to tell you, that's why you didn't want to hear it - and he sensed this.

"Please just listen I swear I'm not drunk I won't do anything.", he referred to the kiss.

You shook your head and stared at the ground. Trying to escape now was hopeless, he would always catch you.

"I'm just asking you...begging you...please don't tell Krystal anything about our kiss."

The floor was taken off your feet and the world stopped spinning.
He was trying to keep Krystal. He was fighting for her. And you were the stupid one, always running into his traps. Getting hurt by him, punch after punch after punch. The worst thing however was, that no matter how much he would hurt you, even if you were bleeding out already on the floor, you would still crawl to him.

"Oka-", your voice cracked and a tear reached your cheek. Goodbye to the image to make it seem at least that you were working on getting over him. Of course you weren't. And of course you wouldn't.

Taehyung seemed overwhelmed and didn't know how to handle this situation. He raised his hands, maybe to lay it over your shoulder, but then dropped it quickly.

"Go.", you nodded over to the door and tried to not make him see you cry. He was hesitating at first but decided to escape this situation.

He probably felt guilty, but he had every right to. And he should also have trouble sleeping at night, worrying about you. But he didn't. He maybe had trouble sleeping, but the reason wasn't you. It was Krystal.

It took you a little while to calm down. This was the worst time to start crying. Why did you even cry? Why didn't you expect him to say this? He had decided for Krystal over you a long time ago. The time to let go was overdue, but still you clinged onto that little piece of hope that he meant the kiss. But he didn't. He loved Krystal. And he only kissed you because he was drunk.

With heavy feet you headed towards the cafeteria where you saw your boyfriend. Jimin still waited for you at the lunch table, looking worried. Taehyung was sitting across the room next to his friends.
As Jimin saw you he stood up immediately, walking towards you.

"Are you alright?", he asked pulling you into his embrace.

"Do I look that horrible?", you smiled a little bit.

"No, no you're always beautiful! But you look sad!", he seemed nervous. Oh he really was worried.

He put his hand over your waist, leading you to your table. Jimin had brought you your food already, being the perfect boyfriend he is.

"So what is it?", he asked when you had finally started to eat.

"It's just that I'm stressing out because of my grades. I'm scared I'm not good enough.", you pricked the plate with your fork.

"Babe!", he grabbed your chin lifting it up, "Don't stress about it! You're a genius!"

You smiled a little causing his expression to soften a bit.

"I'm not a genius, you Idiot!", you teased him a little.

"Well you're the genius, I'm the idiot. Opposites attract, perfect.", he gave you his million dollar smile.

You laughed a little and shook your head at his good comeback. He leaned forward to kiss you softly and stroke your cheek.

Jimin had gladly helped you finishing your plate. You were about to leave when Jimin grabbed you from behind so you could walk hand in hand. It made you smile but as he leaned in to whisper into your ear your smile quickly faded.

"I wonder why Taehyung was looking at you the whole time."
