EXCERPT

You watched him as he got out of the car. He was as handsome as ever. He took your breath away. You raised your hand to wave as he moved to the other side of his car. Confusion was an understatement as he helped out a girl from his car. She was beautiful. Full lips, big eyes, a thin face with just the right proportions. You suddenly felt self conscious, gnawing away at your bottom lip. Of course, of course, Taehyung would have a beautiful girlfriend. And you didn’t even need to guess they were dating, you could tell from the way he smiled at her, the way he rested his hand on her lower back. You refused to let the strands of jealousy overtake your stomach. You stood politely as they arrived. 

“Ah, hello!” You greeted warmly, plastering a smile on your face. No, you couldn’t talk about this with her here. 

“Hello.” Taehyung’s deep voice made you shiver. It had been 10 years since you’d heard it last. It reminded you of late summer afternoons, lazy mornings, and the most secret moments at night. You were almost lost in your memories when the girl beside him dipped her head.

“Hello.” The young girl smiled back at you. She seemed nice, and that only made your gut twist more. 

“I’m Y/N.” You introduced yourself, sitting down and taking care not to crumple your dress. 

“Jennie.” The girl said curtly. You couldn’t tell if she wanted to be here or not. 

“I believe we’ve already met, but I’m Taehyung.” The handsome man chuckled. You only managed a weak smile. Was he not nervous at all? Did he not fret over what to wear or what to say like you did? Why would he? He has a girlfriend, Y/N. You mentally slapped yourself. 

“Right, long time no see.” You said quietly. There was a long pause. Jennie busied herself with looking at the menu, her hand always somewhere on Taehyung. You could tell she felt uncomfortable and you understood. You would also feel immensely uncomfortable if your boyfriend’s long lost best friend suddenly reappeared out of the blue. If she knew what you were  supposed to be here for, Jennie didn’t show any sign. She may just be a wonderful actor. 

“This is my girlfriend.” He said after the pause. His eyes never left yours. It would be unnerving if you hadn’t known him for so long. Somehow, him saying it out loud made it 10x worse. You almost wanted to puke. This was bad, very bad. Why did you even think this was a good idea? You watched his hand squeeze her hand reassuringly. 

“Ah, you’re very beautiful Jennie.” You couldn’t even lie, it was just the truth. “I just wanted to catch up, it’s been a while.” 

Taehyung nodded slowly, swallowing. 

“Indeed it has.” 

You missed the way Jennie’s eyes flicked suspiciously between you two. You missed the way she held onto Taehyung’s hand even tighter, the way her knee brushed against his. 

“Well, surely you could have reached out sooner.” Jennie smiled, her tone kind, but her words portraying something harsher. You refused to wince. That was a sort of jab you had expected from Taehyung, not his girlfriend. Had he told her about you? About what happened between you two? At least when it came from Jennie, you could let it roll off. 

“You’re right, my apologies. Things have been hectic.” The lie came so easily. Even Taehyung narrowed his eyes slightly. 

You had almost wanted Taehyung to be resentful towards you as much as you were towards him. But then you saw his smile and the way he laughed at whatever you said and you decided no, I don’t want that bad feeling anymore. So you tried to let it go. 

Sadly, resentment’s roots are strong and you had only managed to forget it until halfway through lunch. Jennie hadn’t spoken much after your brief exchange and you began to get more comfortable. You reminisced about the old times, staying dutifully away from the time period beyond 14. 

“Oh my god, then Jin went NO! And practically ran for the cake, but then it went shoooooooooop and landed straight on the floor.” Taehyung acted out, arms waving in exaggeration. “Poor man! He made that beautiful cake only for Namjoon to knock it over.” He tsked ruefully in mock pity. You stifled a laugh. 

“Ah, so that’s what happened to the cake. Ms. Wheeler wasn’t happy that we’d practically destroyed her birthday cake. She sent us to detention.” You giggled. “You guys should have known not to trust Namjoon near anything.”

Taehyung crossed his arms, almost pouting, and suddenly you’re reminded of the kid you fell in love with. You pulled yourself from going down that train as you continued on with the conversation. 

“What were we supposed to do? You had already kicked him out of the class decorating station!” 

“That was for his own safety! We had glue guns in there!” You cried out in defense. “You saw what he did to that nerf gun!”

Taehyung snorted and you both broke out into laughter. Jennie stirred her soup, looking quiet. This time you noticed her gripping his hand. Her knuckles were white and you glanced to see her fist shaking in her lap. You frowned ever so slightly, but continued on. 

“So, why did you call me up?” He raised a questioning eyebrow. Your gaze flicked to Jennie and then back to him. His eyes followed your movement. 

“Just to catch up. I have an...important event in a few weeks.” You murmured, the mood of the table shifting. He bit his lip and nodded. 

“Okay.” He stated simply. That word, so blunt, yet so telling. He remembered. He remembered and he didn’t want to talk about it with you. He’s moved on.
