{ Lee Eun Byul's P.O.V }

"Let it go! Lee Eun Byul!"

......

Lee... EUN BYUL?!

At his words, all my actions stopped. Just then, the door creaked open a bit and popped out an eye of Taehyung's, "I meant Eun Bi. You know I'm used to calling Eun Byul so her name slipped off my tongue. Bye!" saying that, he shut the door in my face.

Tilting my head, I mumbled, "...What?"

~~~

"That dam*ed guy. He dares shut the door in my face when I even gave him the cake." sitting on my bed, I stuffed my face with cake as I scrolled through my phone aimlessly.

"I mean... what's even his problem?" I said, poking my cheek slightly with the fork in my hand.

Suddenly, my bed started shaking. With a chill running down my spine, I gulped. Sitting up and getting ready to run a marathon downstairs, I realised that it was actually my phone buzzing and not an earthquake.

"This old phone. Just how old even is this?" gritting my teeth, I picked up the call, "Yello."

From the other side came no answer but the sound of sniffing and sobbing.

"Eh?" holding the phone away, I looked at the caller's name.

"Eun bi, is that you? Why are you crying?!" I yelled in the phone after seeing Eun Bi's name on it.

"U-Unnie..."

"For God's sake, Eun Bi, say something! My heart's gonna blow!"

"Unnie I-I lied.. to you."

At her words, I looked at the half-eaten cake which I promised mom that I won't touch until she comes back home.

"That's it? I lie on a daily basis y'know."

"No, Unnie. I-It's different from that."

"Okay, I'll hear you. But first, take a deep breath and calm down. And please go and clean your nose, you're sniffing too much."

"UNNIE!"

"Haha, just kidding. So what has my angel Eun Bi lied about?"

"Unnie, please stop joking. Y-You're making this... harder."

"Eun Bi, seriously, what's wrong? And please stop with the stuttering and pauses."

"Sorry..."

"Now tell me, what happened to make you cry so much?"

"It's about... Taehyung."

"THAT DAMNED GUY AGAIN. IMMA PULL HIS EYES OUT AND CRUSH THAT FACE OF-"

"Unnie, calm down. He didn't do anything."

"Oh yeah? Then is it that psycho lil brother of his??"

"No! They both didn't do anything!"

"Oh... So who did what?"

"I-I lied to you... about Taehyung."

"Lied what?"

"Well... It was the other day when I was doing your homework and I found his letter in your bag. He... He apologized to you right after he found that Jungkook lied to him..."

Listening to her words, the playful smile on my face faded, "He did what?" I whispered asked on which she started crying even more. But this time, her cries did not make me worried but rather they made me angry and annoyed.

"FOR GOD'S SAKE, EUN BI, STOP CRYING AND ANSWER ME!"

"I LIKED HIM!"

"... W-What?..."

"Before writing you a letter, he apologised to me. And I saw that it wasn't his mistake after all. He was so good to me and cared about me. I realized that if I told you then... Then you guys will be the same as before."

"Eun Bi... What on Earth are you saying?"

"I was a fool, Unnie. To think that he'll like me. And you're a fool, Unnie, for not realising that he likes you."

"...."

"I-I just wanted to make this clear to you, Unnie. He's a good guy and you should forgive him. I... I won't come in between you guys anymore."

"You think I care about that?"

"What?"

"Eun Bi, I hold you the most precious to me, even more than mom. Did it seemed wrong to you for me to have even one friend beside you?"

"Wha-"

"How could you do this to me? I would never let anything bad happen to you or for you to get hurt. I trusted you the most, Eun Bi. Even if my one and an only friend stood against you, I left him and stood with you... All that for this?"

"Unnie, I-I'm sor-"

"Keep your sorry to yourself." saying that, I ended the call and before I realized, tears started welling up in my eyes.

"Sh*t."

-At Taehyung's house-
{ Taehyung's P.O.V }

"It's okay, mom. You don't have to be sorry." I said to mom who was hugging me since the last few minutes.

"No, honey. I said so many harsh things to you." she said hugging me tighter to the point that my breathing became difficult.

"I-It's okay." I patted her back, "I-I can't breathe, mom.."

"Oh my God! Sorry, honey." she said, letting go of me.

"Please stop saying sorry, mom. I'm already embarrassed," I smiled, rubbing the back of my neck, "So where have you been all this time?"

"I was at my mom's new farmhouse by the countryside. The air there is so fresh and natural and all that greener-."

"A COUNTRYSIDE FARMHOUSE?! Mom, I wanna go too!" I yelled before clinging onto her arm.

"But I just came back from ther-"

"I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna g-"

"Okay, Tae! Shut your mouth already. Jeez, you're such a kid." she said, pulling my ear playfully, "Even if we go, what about your school?"

"I was gonna take a few days off to prepare of mid term exams anyways. Eun Bi will do the notetaking for me so I'm settled."

"Stop your horses, young man. You're not taking any days off, not on my watch-"

"And just when I thought my mom loves me," I said as I dramatically sat on the couch, "Nobody loves me!" I yelled as I started sobbing with my face buried in my hands.

"D-Don't cry, Tae. You can take off as many days as you want. Just don't cry, honey, mum loves you a whole lot." Mom said as she back hugged me.

Parents are sure easy to deal with.

"Hehe, thanks, mom. Now let's wait till dad gets back and we'll discuss the rest with him." I said, turning around and  giving her a wide smile.

"Ehh, I'm not talking to him." mom said as she stood straight and crossed her arms.

"Oh come on, Mom. Dad's already a mess."

"R-Really?" she asked, looking at me worriedly.

"Yup. Every day he comes home in a drunk state." I said, crossing my arms.

And there I set the fire.

"He... drinks?" Mom said as her expression darkening.

"Well, it was because he missed you so much."

"H-He missed me?" Mom asked, pointing a finger towards her chest as her expression took a 180° flip.

"Yup. A lot." I said as I crossed my arms and nodded my head.

"A lot?" she asked, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

I nodded my head again while smiling.

"Hah-Haha, you must be hungry. I should go make your father's- I mean your favourite dish. I'll go shopping then!" saying that enthusiastically, she grabbed her purse before running out of the house.

"Grandma must've screwed up some sense in her." I mumbled, smiling to myself.

Taehyung...

"Woah, who's that?" I said, looking around.

I'm your belly and... I'm hungry.

Looking at my belly, a growl left it, "No worries belly. I shall save you."

Running to the kitchen like a hero, my eyes caught the box. The box of cake which Eun Byul brought.

Smiling, I grabbed the box of cake before plopping down on the couch in the living room.

"Ooh, thif if mummie." I said with my mouth stuffed up.

Gulping down the cake, I crossed my arms.

"I should have let her in. I'm sure her none existing pride must have be greatly hurt."
