Taehyung was going through an emotional roller-coaster. He finally found the woman he's been looking for for years. He was happy, but at the same time, he was sad, mad, guilty, and jealous. He wanted to claim her then and there but did he have any right to do so after what he did to her, to their relationship?
Y/N stood there frozen while Ji-Eun was rubbing circles on her back Antonio had a victorious smirk and the people around were amused. "Please excuse us", Ji-Eun says before leading her cousin out of the place knowing well that she needed some alone time. Ji-Eun leads Y/N to her car and she drives off while Y/N leans into her seat while her mind plays the memory she tried to move on from.
Y/N was walking down the street, going home from the hectic high school. She was sad, and gloomy not because of the bullies who took an opportunity to harass her but because of her boyfriend who hasn't been attending school or contacting her for a couple of days now. She came to know that the man was out in Japan with his family on a short trip. 'No wonder the butler said they weren't at home that day' she thinks to herself, curling her plump lips into an adorable pout.
What bothered her the most is the fact that he would pick up her calls or responds to her texts which got her worried she made a trip to his home where she was invited in by the butler who explains to her that the family was not present as of then and she who was an introvert felt uncomfortable in staying at her boyfriend's home when he was not present and she asks him to let her boyfriend know that she visited for him whenever they are back and the man complies.
The next two days she tried to contact him in all the possible ways. Being close friends with his family was a perk but she couldn't just contact anyone from the family when she knew Taehyung did not tell anyone about their relationship respecting her decision to make things public when they officially graduate from high-school. And now she had no idea how the boy was and what he has been doing while avoiding her.
She overheard her best-friend Sorn's conversation with Jimin who also happened to be Taehyung's best friend and came to know that the boy was enjoying his short trip to Japan with his family. What kept him busy? or what was making him ignore the girl? She heaves a sigh, clutching her umbrella tightly due to the drizzling weather. She soon closes the drenched umbrella as she walks inside the shared apartment she's been sharing with her cousin. She carefully leaves the umbrella at the corner, leaving it to dry before taking off her dirty shoes and then walking ahead, taking off the school bag. She was pouting with puppy eyes when her cousin walks into the living room with a sly smile. Y/N plops her school bag on the floor beside the couch and settles herself on the couch.
"Aww...who made my baby sis pout this cute?" Ji-Eun asks walking to her little cousin, "Tae..." Y/N trails off and Ji-Eun giggles at the girl. She wanted to tease but seeing how down the girl looked, Ji-Eun decides to go easy on her. "Your lover boy dropped by. He asked me to pass a message" she starts and Y/N sits straight with sparkly eyes, "Tae came here?" she asks and the latter nods, "What? When? How long has it been?" Y/N says in excitement, "Calm down tiger, He was here a half-an-hour ago. He said he would wait for you at your usual place and asked you to go there when you are back from school" Ji-Eun fills in and Y/N was already on her feet.
The younger pulls her cousin into a hug while muttering "Thank you's" and peppering the latter's face with kisses before dashing out in rush not even changing the slippers. "Yahh! Take the umbrella with you...and she's already gone" Ji-Eun mutters to herself shaking her head. She walks into the kitchen to make some good food, knowing well that her sister was in good hands. She was always protective of her younger cousin but with Taehyung she knew she could take a break. The boy has whipped her cousin and so has her cousin.
Y/N rushes out and curses herself for not bringing an umbrella and hence fastens her pace while jogging to the park where her boyfriend proposed to her which was thankfully not that far from her place, just three blocks away from her place. Stepping inside the park, she makes a beeline to the old cherry blossom tree where she found a silhouette of a boy standing under the tree holding an umbrella. She smiles wide guessing who the person might be. She rushes to the boy and hugs him without any hesitancy while the boy steps back losing balance but gets in grip before it's too late and stands straight saving themselves from falling on the wet ground.
"I missed you" she mutters which is muffled into his sweater and jacket. He sighs and parts from her, "Why don't you have an umbrella?" he asks and she smiles sheepishly. He takes off his jacket and puts it on her drenched shoulders and she pulls it closer to bask in the warmth and his smell. He closes the umbrella noticing that the rain has stopped. "Shall we go to the cafe down the street?" she asks, smiling cutely at him. He huffs out a sigh and looks into her eyes which stops the girl from smiling, she noticed how unusual he looked, he wasn't smiling, he did not hug her back, heck he didn't even tell her that he was coming back.
"What's wrong Tae? Where were you? Why didn't you text me back? How have you been?" She bombards him with questions and he licks his lips thinking of how to speak. "Y/N, we need to talk", he says and that's when she confirmed that something was seriously wrong. "What's wrong?" she asks again. He heaves a sigh before looking away and she allows him to wait for whatever he had to say, "I think we should break up" he says, and her heart stops for a moment. Did she hear him correctly? "What did you say?" she asks in a small voice.
"Y/N, we are young. Heck, we are still teens. I know many fall in love and have their crushes in their teen years but we need to grow up. We have plenty of time in the future to fall in love, with each other or with anyone who would cherish us. I don't want to rush us, rush the feelings. I'm not even sure if these feelings I have for you are love or just infatuation" he explains and she looks at him incredulously. "So, you mean to say that all those memories we shared, all the kisses we shared, all the love You we shared were just some infatuations for you?" she asks tears welling up her eyes and he heaves a sigh before nodding his head.
She takes a moment and bursts into laughter with tears flowing down her cheeks. "Are you pranking me? Is this some sick joke of yours? Please don't play such jokes, this is not cool at all" she says hugging him but he breaks the hug, "I am not joking or pulling any prank. Y/N, think of this for yourself." he says and she chuckles looking down. "Just say that I'm not someone you look your future with", she says and he looks down, "I should've known, how naïve of me to even think someone would love me enough to be with me for their life", she says with tears flowing down her cheeks. "Is this your final decision, to break up with me 'cause you are not sure of your feelings?" she asks and he nods his head.
"Then why did you confess to me? Why did you date me? What made you doubt your feelings?" she yells and he stays silent. "Or is this break-up a polite way of yours saying that you can't be with a fat girl?" she says and he jerks his head up at her words, "I never meant it that way, it's me and my feelings", he says and she looks away, "I hate myself for falling this deep for you. 2 years of relationship and this is when you are doubtful of your feelings for me. I may be dumb enough to fall for you but I'm not that dumb to not understand that you are embarrassed by me and want to end the relationship before that gets any further" she says with a sarcastic chuckle and he glares at her.
"I was never and will never be embarrassed by you. You are beautiful and I am lucky to have experienced this journey with you. And this break-up is something that will prove our feelings, whether they are infatuation or love" he says and she turns away taking off the jacket draped over her shoulder, "Well good luck realizing your feelings, I always loved you. It was never infatuation for me. But since you feel it that way, stay away from me." She throws the jacket to the ground and walks away in the rain that started to drizzle again.
