"Forgive me"
Those two words rang inside Beomgyu's head the next day, He arrived at school walking to his locker.
"Hello darling~" Yeonjun joked you Beomgyu but he didn't respond. He was too focused on feeling like he was supposed to remember something but couldn't at the moment.
"Huh? What's wrong?" He asked looking at him but he wouldn't meet his eyes, Beomgyu turns around and walked inside the classroom. He sits in his desk without looking anywhere but the floor.
"Is he okay?" Kai says to Yeonjun.
"He's acting strange, I don't know." Yeonjun sighed and returned to his desk as the bell rang.
"Everyone is- Oh Soona you're late." The teacher says as Soona entered the room making a beeline to her desk.
"Sorry, I slept late." She says quickly making everyone look confused.
"What's up with you two?" Soobin asked looking between Soona and Beomgyu.
"Nothing." Both said at the same time, Soona clears her throat and opens the notebook.
'Why can't I remember what happened?'
This was the thoughts of both, the memory vaguely there but neither could recall it enough.
"Did something happen? you argue?" Soobin whispered.
"I don't know." Soona says, it was driving her crazy. She felt like she was supposed to remember something she couldn't even remember yesterday.
"Let's eat together." Yeonjun smiles while grabbing Beomgyu's hand.
Beomgyu's mind flashed a quick memory for a second and he quickly pulls away his wrist in confusion.
He felt weird to let someone touch him suddenly, even someone as close to him and Yeonjun; he walks on his own toward the cafeteria.
"What was that?" Kai asks beside Yeonjun.
"I don't know.."
"Are you going to eat more?" Yeonjun asks seeing Beomgyu barely eating his food.
"I just feel weird today." He says getting chills as Soona passed him to sit next to Soobin.
"What's this? Did you get hurt?" Soobin says looking at her wrist.
"Ah, my head." She gripped her head as she sat down.
"Are you okay? Do we need to visit the nurse?" Soobin asked.
"No no i'm fine." She says sitting up straight and shoving food into her mouth, as she eating; she made eye contact with Beomgyu.
They both sat there staring for a few seconds before suddenly looking away quickly.
"What's wrong with you two?" Yeonjun notices the weirdness between them. He felt they were hiding something.
"Nothing." Soona answers finishing her last of the chicken.
"I'll go back to the class to study for a few minutes" She excuses herself and puts her tray back. Her food was barely touched, the same as Beomgyu's.
As she walked back to the class; Taehyun pulls her inside the room with a swift movement and shut the class door.
"Woah, what is going on?" She says with a confused look.
"I can't explain much here but watch yourself around your clients please." He says with intense eyes. It was clear he knew whatever she forgotten the previous day and he wasn't too thrilled to know.
"Why?"
"I can't tell you too much detail but distance yourself." He says with a sudden thickness in his voice.
"Okay, sorry." She says brushing past him: she walked to her desk and picked up her bookbag setting it on the desk.
Taehyun was watching her closely, she eyed him out of the corner of her vision and turned her back to him.
He sighs and returned to his seat, his fist was clenched with angry of what happened the previous day. He was disappointed but not so surprised by her actions. It was something he once tried to do as well.
He was luckily fast enough that night, he knew what would happen. He couldn't be sure to stop it next time.
Beomgyu enters the classroom, the two make eye contact but not for long as he sits down. Every time he saw Soona, his breathe seemed to hitch in his throat. He decided not to look at her anymore that day.
"You, Please stay away from Soona." Taehyun says suddenly.
"Me? why?" He says with confusion.
" You'll remember it later; just say now that you will."
"What happened?"
"Just say it. Keep your distance."
"Okay, I will." Beomgyu says sighing; did Taehyun know something he didn't? Taehyun knew the mission's fate was in his hands.
"Taehyun, what happened?" Soona asks, she was standing at his locker with crossed arms.
"Do you know what you did?" He asked, Soona shook her head as a 'No'
"I can't tell you not yet, once you remember then come see me." He says walking away.
"Darling~ Lets go get coffee." Yeonjun says grabbing Beomgyu's hand.
"Okay!" He says sounding like his normal self,
but he was trying to force it.
"Iced Americano? Normally you don't like this type of drink." Yeonjun says seeing the unfamiliar drink.
"I'm trying new things." He says taking a sip of the cold beverage, his throat felt dry the whole day.
"Yesterday, did you see Soona. After class?" Yeonjun asks.
Beomgyu looks at the table for a minute, he tried to search his mind but found nothing relating to Soona from the previous day.
"No, I don't remember ever seeing her after leaving school."
"I see." Yeonjun says placing the glass back down to the table.
Yeonjun didn't think Beomgyu was lying but she felt suspicious.
"Why? Was I?" Beomgyu asks.
"I don't know, I just saw Soona run that direction yesterday that's all."
Soobin comes bouncing up to Soona as she walked out the school doors. "Hey, Do you want to go with us all to the party tonight? Our senior is hosting it."
"Oh when?"
"6P.M!"
"Sure uh, Is Yena going?"
"Yena, Kai, me and of course Yeojun with Beomgyu."
"I see, Sure i'll meet your there with Yena." Soona smiled genuinely for the first time today.
"See you there." Soobin sings waving as they parted ways.
"The parties tonight? I forgot." Beomgyu scratches his head, he really had no recollection of a party.
"I told you yesterday! You really did get amnesia." Yeonjun sighed.
"I really forgot sorry, I'll still go don't worry." He says smiling to Yeonjun trying to make the mood better again.
"Wear all black, we should match." Yeonjun suggested.
"I'll send you the photos of my outfit later so you can approve it."
"What should I wear?" Soona asks looking at Yena; Yena was already dressed.
"Similar to me is fine, you don't have to wear a dress that's so overused." Yena says showing off her outfit.
Yena's Outfit
Soona's outfit
"Woah! Usually you don't wear this type of stuff!" Yena says seeing Soona's final outfit.
"It's a party, it's only right to show off; let's head out of we'll be late." Soona says offering her arm to Yena. Yena links their arms and they walk outside the apartment building toward the taxi they called.
"The bus people wouldn't be too pleased seeing us dressed like this, so I decided to get a taxi." Yena says opening the door and taking a seat; the air was just the right temperate for the night.
"I wonder how the others look.." Soona says thinking hard, she couldn't imagine it really. There was so many options to how they would dress.
"I'm so ready to see Kai, I bet he's looking amazing tonight." She practically had heart eyes just thinking of him.
"So any other day he's just normal looking?" Soona teased.
"No' I mean he will look 10 times more amazing!" She says quickly.
"Sure sure." Soona laughed softly and watched as they traveled down the road, the sun was beginning to set. It looked truly beautiful; almost too good to be true.
"Is there anyone you're excited to see?" Yena nudged Soona's elbow with her own.
"Like who?"
"Soobin~ or maybe you actually want to see Taehyun these days." She says teasing the other.
"Never Taehyun, how dare you speak his name in the same sentence as Soobin." Soona says scoffing.
Taehyun? Never. I was never excited to see him and I would never be.
"He's been at your apartment lately right?" Yena says smiling.
"That wasn't like that! It was a coverup for something." Soona defended herself.
"You don't have to lie~ I am glad you're getting along lately. You know he's not married right?"
"Oh don't tell me you're seriously considering THAT? Never." Soona makes a disgusted face and Yena bursted in laughter.
"Why? He's one of us and he's available. You know I heard he's the best looking in our entire realm."
"Really? I haven't seen everyone yet." Soona shrugs her shoulders.
"Oh look we're here, Thank you so much keep the tip." Yena pays the driver, they step out of the car and walked toward the entrance of the house.
There was some people already outside just lounging around, some drinking and others looking passed out already.
"Glad you can make it guys, wow I never knew our school had such beauties." The classmate spoke.
"Thank you." Yena says covering her face in embarrassment.
"You two can go ahead inside, feel free to anything except don't go into the 3rd room on the right upstairs. Everything else is free range!"
The two walked inside the party, it was becoming crowded as more showed up.
"Hey Woah! You two look great." Soobin says seeing the two girls approach him.
"Thank you, Soona really outdid herself this time." Yena joked.
"Oh be quiet! You look very handsome tonight oh well you look handsome any other day but. Sorry you get my point." Soona babbled.
"Don't worry, I understand." Soobin chuckled.
"Where's Kai?" Yena asks looking through the crowd with her eyes.
"He went to the bathroom he should be back soon."
"Oh my-" Yena was lost for words seeing Kai step from the crowd walking toward them.
Her heart felt as if it was going to explode any moment, he looked amazing tonight as she thought he would.
"Hey guys, Yena you look really beautiful!" Kai compliments her, his face felt a bit heated.
"You too! I mean- handsome instead of beautiful!."
"Yena's handsome too." Soona joked.
"I'm not a man!" Yena says with her mouth opened in a O shape.
Soona was examining soobin, he was dressed nicely; so nicely she felt her face become warm so she had to look away.
"Ah Yena lets go get drinks!" Kai grabs Yena's arm pulling her away leaving the other two to talk.
"I didn't know you liked parties." Soobin says.
"Oh I usually don't but everyone of my friends was coming."
"Is Beomgyu and Yeonjun here?" Soobin asked looking around.
"I didn't see them yet." Soona's eyes scanned the room.
The music was playing loudly in the background that voices could barely be heard if you're not close to each other.
"Is it alcohol?" Yena says sniffling the red drink.
"I don't think so." Kai says sniffing his cup.
"You kids, don't drink just anything." Yeonjun comes up.
"Yeonjun, where's Beomgyu?" Kai says noticing Beomgyu no where to be seen.
"He's at the bathroom, And you shouldn't drink just anything. Drink this not the red one." He takes the cup from his hand and placed a pink liquid instead.
"You too, don't drink that." He grabbed Yena's as well.
"Ah, how did you know?" Yena asked.
"I've had plenty of those to know." He laughed.
"Ah Beomgyu you're here." Yena says seeing Beomgyu walking toward them but his mood seemed a little annoyed.
"What's wrong?" Yeonjun asks, he noticed Beomgyu's eyes were looking in the crowd as if trying to find someone.
"Nothing, let's drink." He grabbed the random cup of liquid and gulped it down. His eyes closed tightly in disgust, it was extremely bitter.
"Aren't you scared to drink that?" Soona asked Soobin, he was drinking the red liquid in the cup.
"It's just one cup, what does it hurt?" He shrugged.
"I guess so, oh there's Yeonjun." Soona's eyes laid on the four across the room.
"They seem to be sticking together lately, are you guys still friends?" Soobin says.
"I guess so, anyways I don't want to talk about them let's just enjoy now." Soona turns her back toward the four, she felt a pair of eyes on her but ignored it and continued talking to Soobin.
The two boots stepped through the door of the house, the eyes looking toward him.
"Woah" many said under their breathes upon seeing him. He looked completely different than at school.
"He's so handsome but tonight it's a different level." One person whispered to her friend who just nodded in amazement of the sight.
"Why did everyone go quiet?" Soobin asks looking toward many people whispered as someone walked through the crowd.
Yeonjun's eyes became suspicious as well, Beomgyu adding to it followed by Kai then Yena.
"That's .." Beomgyu's eyes widened, "Taehyun." Yeonjun says with a firm grip on the cup he's holding.
"Woah, he looks like a model!" Kai exclaimed.
The crowd began to return to normal as Taehyun greeted Kai.
"Oh? Where's your friend?" Taehyun smirked asking Yeonjun and Beomgyu.
"With Soobin." Beomgyu answers back smiling.
"Ah, Pass me a cup please."
Kai grabs a cup and handed it to Taehyun who walked away looking smug.
"What's his problem?" Yeonjun whispered to a Beomgyu.
"I don't know. He's strange. Let's keep a eye on him." Beomgyu suggested.
"Anyways guys, Anyone want to do a game!"
"What game?" Yena asked.
"Whoever is last i'm finishing a whole cup of this, has to go kiss anyone in this room." Kai says pouting toward the red liquid.
"That's too easy for me." Yeonjun laughed.
"I'll do it, let's go!" Yena says looking confident in herself.
"Okay, on the count of 3 let's all drink!" Kai says as everyone held a cup in their hand.
"Look at them, drinking all the drinks." Soobin clicked his tongue.
"They're going to be messed up, i'll have to carry a Yena." Soona says in annoyance.
"Oh, it's Taehyun."
A pair of feet came walking toward Soona and Sopbin, he stopped in front of them and Soona looked up.
She'd be lying if she denied how good Taehyun looked but she didn't feed into his ego.
"You really outdid it today." Soobin laughed looking at his outfit.
"I definitely outdid Yeonjun." He says smirking.
"Is this a competition? you guys are childish." Soona shakes her head.
"And you're not?" Taehyun fires back.
"Excuse me?" Soona says standing up straight.
"Ah calm down. You two behave while I go use the bathroom." Soobin excuses himself.
"Look at them all, their doing that stupid game. Who do you think they'll kiss?" Taehyun motioned toward the four.
"I don't care." Soona crosses her arms as she looked that direction.
"One, Two!" Kai was counting down.
Soona began feeling nervous, she hoped Yena lost after all she was a slow drinker usually.
"Here goes the fun." Taehyun smirked.
"Three!"
They all began chugging the liquid down their throats, Yeonjun finishes first looking proud.
"Oh? Who will lose?" Taehyun says teasing Soona.
"Shut up, Yena will lose."
"Kai is done! It's between Beomgyu and Yena." Yeonjun says looking between the two.
Soona's hands became sweaty, she had her hands together hoping it was Yena who lost.
"Oh and! Ah Beomgyu loses!" Kai screamed and Yena throws her hands up happy she didn't lose.
"Wow, I thought you'd be faster." Yeonjun jokes.
"Isn't that nice, I wonder who he's kissing?" Taehyun looks at Soona smirking, he was beginning to get under her skin.
"This is stupid." Soona wanted to leave and walk out but the crowd was too tight.
"Are you okay?" Taehyun asked.
"What do you think?" She says back with a harsh tone.
"Hurry, who are you going to kiss?" Kai says rushing Beomgyu.
"You said anyone?" Beomgyu asks, his cheeks were a little red from being intoxicated.
"Yes!"
"Do a rematch! I wanted to play!" Soona disrupts them as she walked forward through the crowd.
"Rematch? But Beomgyu already lost." Kai says as Taehyun came up beside Soona.
"That's right Soona." Taehyun says.
"I wanted to play as well but the crowd was too tight for me to come over!" Soona says lying through her teeth.
"Really? ah I have to drink again?" Yena says slapping her forehead.
"Beomgyu is already drunk enough so he can't do this new round but he still has to do the challenge." Kai says.
"I-I'll kiss someone." Beomgyu stuttered.
"Alright alright then hurry so we can play another round." Taehyun edge's Beomgyu on to kiss someone.
"Let's just do it!" Soona says quickly trying to take the focus off the kiss.
"Why? He lost." Kai says crossing his arms.
"I'll kiss someone! So you all can play your stupid round! Yeonjun come here!" Beomgyu grabbed Yeonjun quickly and it all happened within a 3 second span. Beomgyu has grabbed Yeonjun and aggressively pulled him toward his lips.
Everyone's eyes widened except Taehyun who expected it to happen, a small smile formed to his face.
"See? it wasn't so hard now we can play!" Taehyun says clapping his hands together.
"Yeonjun are you playing this round?" Kai asked and Yeonjun shakes his head no slowly, he was touching his lips in shock by what just happened.
"Okay then let's all four do it!" Kai says handing everyone a cup.
"One, two and THREE!" Everyone started chugging in the drinks, Soona finished first raising her hands in happiness.
"What the?! She's fast!" Yeonjun says.
Next was Kai who finished, he watched anxiously between Yena and Taehyun.
'Yena please don't finish.' Soona kept repeating the thought.
Yena finished and slammed the cup to the table, she took a big breathe of air and jumped in excitement from not losing.
Kai was a little sad because he wanted to see if she'd kiss him.
"Taehyun you lost which means, you have to kiss someone!" Kai says pointing.
Soona felt her life was flashing before her as she saw a smug Taehyun look toward her.
Oh no don't
please no
this won't happen not today no never!
She was beginning to panic as she walked closer, his eyes were closed as he went to grab her but Soona rushed behind Beomgyu and pushed him forward instead.
Everyone's eyes widened and tried to yell but it was too late as Taehyun accidentally kissed Beomgyu.
"T- TAEHYUN!" Kai grabber Taehyun and pulled him away.
"What?! SOONA!" Yena yelled looking toward a scared Soona.
"I-I'm sorry!" Soona says running off toward the back of the house.
"What just happened?!" Taehyun says.
"That wasn't soona!" Yena says and Taehyun noticed Beomgyu was infront of him and he felt a pang of anger go through his body, his hand balling up into a fist.
Yeonjun didn't say anything, he just stood there glaring in anger.
" T-Taehyun let's go." Kai grabbed Taehyun before Yeonjun would have a chance to say anything, he left Beomgyu with Yena and Yeonjun.
"I'm going to find Soona!" Yena says leaving the two to feel the awkwardness.
"What just happened?" Beomgyu asked still drunk.
"Nothing let's go." Yeonjun grabbed Beomgyu's hand and lead his toward the door.
"Soona?! Where are you?!" Yena yelled through the crowd.
"Have you seen Soona?" Soobin asked Kai,
"No but something really bad happened." Soobin's eyes became worried.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Let's talk about it later first help us find Soona."
Soona was upstairs in a room by herself, she felt the tears stream down her face to the ground.
She didn't want to mess things up but she didn't want to be kissed either.
She didn't know what to do in the moment so she acted rashly.
"Soona?" She heard people calling her name but she doesn't say anything.
"She's somewhere i'm sure." Kai says looking around the backyard.
"I'll go check the upstairs." Soobin says walking inside and up the stairs.
Taehyun was already in the hallway, checking rooms as Soobin walked toward him, "Did you find her?"
"Not yet."
"I'll go check the downstairs rooms then." Soobin rushes down the stairs again.
"Soona, i'm not angry. Please." Taehyun says knocking on the last door that was closed.
"Go away please." She says loudly.
"We're not leaving you here alone."
"Then tell Yena to get me, I don't want to see your face." She says hardly and he goes to find Yena.
"She won't leave without you, she needs you." Taehyun says.
"I'll go, i'm sorry about this thing. I'll catch up with you tomorrow Kai." Yena hugs Kai and proceeded upstairs.
"It wasn't your fault, you were scared." Yena rubs Soona's back as she hugged her. Soona's tears began melting into Yena's clothes on her shoulder.
"Sorry." She sobbed while hugging Yena back.
"Let's go home okay?"
