"장난해 너 도대체 내가 뭐야"

- Jihyun's POV -

"So tell me about yourself" Taehyung smiled. "Umm, I sing and dance?" I said, looking confused.

"Keep going". I nodded, "I play basketball, I love food?" I kept eating my ice cream and Taehyung smiled.

"Well, we like the same things." Taehyung chuckled, and I giggled. Same things, but not going through the same situations..

"You seem like an interesting girl.." Taehyung said, giving me a wink. I felt myself choke on the liquids of the ice cream.

Pure embarrassment.

"You seem like an interesting guy" I commented back. I hope I wasn't being a burden to him.

"I'm sorry.." I mumbled, finishing my ice cream. Taehyung gave me a weird look, "Wae? You shouldn't be saying sorry".

"I feel like I'm bothering you. You should go home, your shift ended ages ago, you deserve to rest." I said.

Taehyung shook his head, "Ani, I'd rather cheer up someone beautiful like you. If you want to go home now, I'll walk you home".

I smiled, he was actually a good guy but I can't trust him fully. The only guy I trust is Woohyun.

After all, I don't want to be left behind again.

We left the ice cream shop and started walking towards my house.

It was a little awkward, "Tell me about someone you love" Taehyung said, walking strangely.

"They love someone else" I exclaimed.

Taehyung didn't comment, but just kept walking. I wanted to change the subject so it's not weird for the two of us.

"Stop walking like that, you look like an alien!" I said laughing.

"Yah! Look at how you're walking! You look like one too!" He shot back and we both laughed. This was the first time, I was not cold to anyone.

I didn't even realise, we were already here. "My house is right over there, you can just walk home from here" I pointed.

"But I want to walk you to your front door!" Taehyung pouted. Aigoo, stop it.

I can't let him walk me to my front door. Eomma and Appa is always in the kitchen drinking, I can't get away with anything.

I looked at the time, it was currently 4:45pm. I usually get home around 3:00pm since that's what my parents want.

I guess you can call them, 'abusive'.

"Aniyo, next time!" I smiled. Taehyung frowned, "Fine, but give me your number!" He said.

I nodded and we switched phone numbers. "Thank you! If ever you need anyone, call me. Arrasseo?!".

I nodded and hugged him. "Annyeong Alien!" I waved.

Taehyung waved back with a smile, "Bye Alien number 2!".

I reached my front door and sighed. I was scared. I got my keys and opened the door and on the couch, I saw Eomma and Appa looking angry.

"Where have you been! The school contacted us saying you left early!" Appa yelled. He was drunk, I smelt the alcohol.

I looked at Eomma, who looked dumbfounded who couldn't do anything. How can she let this happen. I hate both of them.

Appa got his fists and punched me in the face. I fell to the floor, and felt kicking on my stomach and whole body.

I felt weak, not knowing what to do. My vision was getting blurry, but I see Eomma just sitting there.

What a nice mother, really..

Finally, Appa stopped and drank more alcohol. "Fuck you two, I hate you both." I shouted and went upstairs, feeling dizzy.

"No matter what happens, we are still your parents!" Appa shouted while I was going upstairs.

I stopped and looked back at them. "'Abusive' Parents!" I corrected, and continued to walk upstairs bleeding.

- Taehyung's POV -

My shift today in the ice cream shop was boring. All I did was serve people, until I saw a girl crying. I felt pity for her.

//flashback//

My manager nudged me, "Yah, tell her to leave the shop if she's not going to order anything".

"Woah, the manager is kicking out customers when we're suppose to be welcoming them" I sarcastically said and Samantha, my manager gave me an annoyed look.

I laughed, "Yeah whatever, I'll do it".

//end of flashback//

I smiled, Jihyun is interesting and beautiful. There's something about her, that makes me want to get close to her.

There's something in her, and I just don't know what it is. I wanted to walk her to her front door but she didn't allow me, I didn't know why.

At least I have her number, I guess. It's better than nothing.

- Jungkook's POV -

I walked home, and Eomma approached me. "Jungkook, what's wrong?" Eomma asked.

I stayed quiet, and after a minute, she finally realised. "Jihyun?" She guessed and I nodded.

"I'm sorry I keep complaining about it but it's just that she was the first girl I have ever loved and knowing I hurt her and broke her into bleeding pieces kills me.." I cried and Eomma hugged me.

"Jungkook.. I.. I know it hurts. Mistakes happen.. I know you weren't trying to ignore her intentionally.."

"Do you like Jihyun?"

I stood silent, not saying anything. I shrugged.

"Eomma, I'll go upstairs now. I'm tired." I lied. "Okay love, I'll call you later when dinner is ready" she replied and I nodded.

I went upstairs and laid down.

"I know we drifted, but I do regret it. I want us to be best friends again, the way we used to. I want us to stay up all night talking about what's going on in our hearts because no one can make me comfortable as you, and no one has won my trust, the way you still do" I cried, wishing I said those words to Jihyun.
