Chapter 3 - I like him

Kim Taehyung’s Point of View

The second semester just started today but school works always on my way. Bunch of projects I have to do but, my mind is partially absent. Even at the teachers’ discussions, I sometimes took a pause of myself and remembering the night at the party.

It’s been a month but, I still feel that night just happened yesterday. The way she caught my attention and making my knees weak, it was a night to be remembered.

Every time I touched my lips, I imagined her soft lips landed on mine. The smell still lingered in my mind but, it was a bad news for me. I haven’t met that girl before and if I’m going to find her then, the clue I have is her birthmark on her back.

If I finally find her, what will happen to my feelings for Jenny?

“Still remembering the girl in the party?” My friend, Jimin asked. We’re at the canteen, having a lunch.

“Yeah…”

“Tae, it’s been a month and it’s impossible for you to find her. I mean, it’s not that I let your feelings down but I’m just telling you because I care for you.” I slightly glared at my friend as I ate a spoonful of rice.

I gulped.

“It’s your fault, pabo” Jimin widened his eyes as he dropped his spoon on his hand.

“M-me?”

“Yeah! You forced me to go to the party with you and now what? I suddenly have doubts to myself if my feelings for Jenny still stable.” I rolled my eyes and started to eat my food again. Jimin suddenly burst into laughter but it ended up with a frown on his face. He pointed me with his fork.

“Is it my fault that girl seduced you? Is it my fault that girl knew your name? Is it my fault that your feelings for Jenny now is complicated? It is not my fault, pabo! It’s yours. IT’S YOURS! See? You took her to the dance floor and have a deep kiss with her like no one was around. Is it my fault that you got on her spell? Na-ah, dude! Na-ah!”

“Yah! If you didn’t force me to go with you, I should have a peace life today. Look, what that sexy girl did to me? She’s driving me crazy! Every day she suddenly pops on my mind and sometimes dream about her. This isn’t normal, Jiminie. This isn’t! I’m supposed to be loyal to Jenny but, days goes by, I forgot her to give flowers every day!”

“You know what’s crazy? Following Choi Jenny like a dog! Tae, you’re my friend but, I don’t like how you act when it comes to Jenny. Dude, erase her in your mind and think about that girl in the party. That’s normal! We’re guys anyway”

“Don’t compare me to you! I only interested in one girl but, how about you? You have flings”

“I’m not comparing myself to you, Tae. I’m talking about the men’s nature. The men’s feelings! Our feelings towards girls. Isn’t it strange that you suddenly feel like you want to kiss a girl and yeah, you just did it? Dude, open you eyes! That’s what we call love!”

“Love, my foot” I scowled. After our little argument with my friend, we just continue eating our lunch silently. No one made a noise but then, I heard a girl’s voice. A husky voice.

“Why so serious? Cat got your tongues?”

From her husky voice, I knew it was Choi Ji-ah, my girl best friend. She and Jenny are identical twins but, I don’t find them identical since I knew Ji-ah so much. She’s a complete opposite to her and a tomboyish type of girl.

She always tied her hair up and wears oversized shirt and leggings is her type. With her badass look, I only expect no one wants to be her suitors.

Ji-ah sat beside me and gave us cola drinks, sliding it on the table.

“Drink” She said. Jimin sweetly smiled at her and grabbed the cola on the table, popped it and drunk.

A refreshing drink making Jimin let out a refreshing sound.

“Ahh~” Jimin finished his cola and began to talk her.

“Did Tae told you about the strange girl in the party?” He asked.

“Yeah? Why?” She simply commented and drank the cola on her hand.

“Tae planned to search for her!”

Ji-ah suddenly choke on her drink. She coughed and coughed while I patted her back lightly. Ji-ah then wiped her mouth and arched her eyebrows in confusion. She looked at me.

“How about my sister? Are giving up on her?”

“I-I didn’t give up on her. Don’t mind what Jimin said a while ago. I-It’s not true!” I stuttered.

“Yah! You have to be kidding me, Kim Taehyung! Don’t just lie to me, dude. I know that kind of face you make. I encountered that look when I feel desperate finding a girl! Tae, didn’t I tell you are soulmates?”

“No?”

“We’re soulmates. Now you know” He smirked.

I turned my face to Ji-ah. Just when I caught her from the moment she bit her lips, a sudden question slide into my mind. She tightened her grip on her cola as she drank it straightly.

Weird. So weird.

When she finished her drink, her lips shined. She slowly licked it and I feel warm inside of me like what I felt on that party.

We’re friends for years and I just noticed the attracted part of her, her lips.

“I guess I have to support you finding that girl no matter what” She said and smiled.

Weird.

Why is my heart suddenly somersault when I see her lips and smile? I just pictured out something.

TIMESKIP

Choi Ji-ah’s Point of View

I finished my part-time for almost seven in the evening.

Let me tell you about my work. To make it short, I was blank. My mind couldn’t get over when Park Jimin told me that Taehyung wants to find the girl from the party. I sighed in multiple times a day that Sana, my friend from the part-time, kept asking me if I’m okay.

My mind is a mess now that I just want to cry a little to let out this kind of feelings.

When we reached at the women’s room to change our clothes to casual, I broke down into tears. I sobbed as I sat on the bench, not wanting to change my clothes first.

“I know you’re not feeling all right, Ji-ah” Sana went to me and hugged on my side. I told her about Taehyung and unexpectedly, I already knew her reaction. She got surprised but got erased into frown as she patted my back lightly.

“Kim Taehyung wants to search the girl from the party? But, why?” I wiped my tears away and sniffed in every words I say.

“It’s… It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have ‘seduced’ him or… I shouldn’t have followed your advised to seduce him! W-what will happen to me if he finds out I was the girl who kissed him? I-I know this day will gonna happen. For one month, I’ve noticed something’s off with him. He… He didn’t talk to Jenny as usual and forgot to give her flowers every day.” I dropped down my head and covered my face.

It’s totally my fault making Taehyung turned into a different person. When I rejected his request to go with him to the masquerade party, I regret that. I felt pity to the point I said to Sana about my feeling to Taehyung. We rented a dress and even she even did a make-up on me.

I like him.

I really like him but, he only sees me as his best friend and nothing more.

He looks on the other way and he fell in love with my twin, Jenny. I know it hurts every day I saw him following Jenny around but my aches are getting bigger and bigger now. I shouldn’t have gone to that party.

I was being desperate because he likes Jenny, not me.

TIMESKIP

I walked with Sana from our way home and talks a lot of fun stuff happening in our lives but, do you think I only share fun stuff to her? She kept on talking and made funny faces just to make me feel better.

“I’m sure Taehyung will never finds out that you’re that girl from the party”

“That’s impossible, Sana. If you hide something from others, little by little it will reveal the truth. No secrets cannot reveal.” She chuckled.

“Yah, do you think he will go desperate finding that girl? I know for sure. 100% sure! That he will give up and go back, focusing his feelings for Jenny— Oh, ice cream! Let’s buy ice cream!” She pulled me and we ran and bur a cone of ice cream on the ice cream track.

I ate them away, preventing from melting down.

Then, suddenly we stopped.

“Oh, what the—” Sana dropped her jaws in surprise.

I saw two persons standing in front of my house. It was a big surprise for me to see Jenny and Taehyung talking to each other. Though we’re meters away from them, I heard their conversation.

“I think… I think I’m ready” Jenny said to Taehyung.

“Ready for what?”

“I’m ready to take the relationship, Taehyung-ah. I know your love for me is solid for four months and you got me amazed.” Jenny smiled at him and moved closer. She hugged Taehyung, burying her face on his chest.

From what I see, Taehyung slightly widened his eyes. It seems like his mind is still buffering what Jenny told him. He just couldn’t believe that this will happened to him. He got accepted by Jenny’s heart now.

Jenny released her hug and genuinely smiled to him.

“I think I like you, Taehyung-ah”

My heart slowly cracked and shattered into pieces after hearing her confession. I know this day will gonna happened. I know someday Taehyung will be accepted by Jenny and that ‘someday’ is today.

It finally came.

Hot liquids released by my eyes, ready for me to sob again.

I hate this. I hate this feeling.

My love for Taehyung is invisible and I have no right to scream my love for him.
