Part 29

•|Jungkook_POV|•

Ok so now I'll jot down the points Sora told me today. It's currently 10pm & sleep is no where near me. Until I get to the bottom of this, my mind won't let me rest peacefully.

°ＦＬＡＳＨＢＡＣＫ°

I have to admit that Sora's constant stares & small touches are making me really uncomfortable. Not only now but also the first time i met her in hyung's wedding. I chose to ignore it that time but NOT TODAY.

Because of her weird touches I keep my hands to myself, under the table we're sitting on.

"So let's start from the beginning. How did you, Hanwoo hyung & Taehyung met each other." I said nonchalantly.

"What's the rush-"

"I'm in a hurry so please just answer my questions." I don't want to indulge in unnecessary talks.

"Ugh... Fine." She starts. "Me and Hanwoo were together since the beginning of the 1st year of college. We were bestfriends. We were so close that people always mistook us for a lovely couple. But Hanwoo was quick to correct them." A dry chuckle left her mouth.

"Then in the middle of the year Taehyung was transferred to our class. He was always so joyful, so energetic & full of life, that he grabbed the attention of others almost immediately. I never thought that I'd ever be friends with him but surprisingly Hanwoo got very interested in 'the new kid'." As I observe her I can say that she doesn't look happy to talk about the past or maybe about a certain someone she just addressed as 'the new kid'. But for now I keep quiet & listen further.

"Eventually Hanwoo invited Taehyung to our friends group & slowly I too became good friends with Taehyung. As time went by I started to notice the subtle changes in their behaviour like.... sometimes when I arrive late I saw Taehyung blushing like crazy or them holding hands & giving each other subtle glances." Sora clenches her first as if trying hard to control her anger?.

"And finally they revealed the fact that they're dating!!. I was shocked because it was so sudden but I accepted it cause Hanwoo looked genuinely happy. But something unexpected happened...."

I think I know what she'll talk about.

"We caught Taehyung redhanded... sleeping with my brother. Can you imagine, Taehyung the boy who always had an aura of innocence engulfing around him was found almost naked in my brother's bed. Hahaha." I frown at her laugh.

What's there to laugh.

"Hanwoo even tried to punch my brother because he thought my brother forced himself on Taehyung but he got the shock of his life when my brother explained how Taehyung himself came to his room after getting drunk & started to strip himself. So it was obvious that my brother thought that Taehyung himself wanted to get laid by him."

All this information is making me uncomfortable not because I think Taehyung did something so wrong but because I can't bring myself to believe that Taehyung can ever do something like that. It just doesn't sound like the dramatic sh*t I have come to know.

It also kind of infuriates me how Sora has a subtle but constant smile on her face when talking about Taehyung's condition & Hanwoo hyung's misery. I doubt that she knows the kind of face she's making right now.

"Then?" Shaking my head I place my hands on the table, asking her continue. Biggest mistake I must say. She immediately latches on my hand with a tight grip. The touch giving me goosebumps.

"Then I did what a good friend should do. I offered Hanwoo my shoulder to cry on. Aww he was so upset & sad because of Taehyung's betrayal that he couldn't even stand there any minute longer & dashes from them. I follow him & console him." She is caressing my hand as if showing me how she helped my hyung that day but my next question seem to slap her back to reality.

"And what about Taehyung? Didn't you all confront him, ask him why he did that & most importantly did something really happened there or not!?"

Sora pulls out an expression that screams DUMB. He is making such a face as if I have asked some strange question. "Why would we do that?"

Ok she's really dumb. Because it's basic knowledge to confront the victim involved & they straight up ignored Taehyung's presence.

"I mean there was nothing to ask him. Everything was clear as a day. He was literally laying naked in a stranger's bed because to my knowledge I introduced Taehyung to my brother on my birthday. Before that both of them never met eachother, making them strangers, right?"

I.AM.SPEECHLESS. Literally speechless. I mean I'm a person who listens to others calmly and then make any type of judgement about the situation but here ... Nothing makes sense.

"Ok enough about Taehyung-..."

"Why do I feel like you didn't liked Taehyung from the very beginning?"

There. I said it. The evaluation of my understanding, about this whole conversation I had right now.

I sigh pinching the bridge of my nose. Waiting for Sora's reply.

She looks at me with wide eyes as if caught redhanded. The weird caresses over my hand stops & I'm quick enough to pull back my hands, away from her unwanted touch.

She gulps nervously but non the less gives me the answer I've been waiting for.

"Yes. You're right. I never really liked him. Actually he disgusted me with hyper attractive personality, as if begging people for attention. And that unnatural polite & sweet smile that he gave everybody, like he was some deity of purity. All of that... All of Taehyung's presence disgusted me. I knew he was nothing like that. It was all a pretence. And I was right. Hahaha." There she goes again with her sinister laugh.

"Jungkook you may think of me as some bad person for hating on my so called friend. But I knew Taehyung or anyone else like him were all after Hanwoo's wealth. He was a big shot in our college, many girls approached him. But I, I am the one who kept him safe from all those b*tches. That until Taehyung came ofcourse. Because unlike others Taehyung had no dirt on his name. Because he was so, so good in his drama of being innocent."

I can now see it clearly. The hate for Taehyung is oozing out of Sora like water. But that can't be the only reason for her deep rooted hate for Taehyung. So what else is left?

"Therefore I was very happy when Taehyung himself betrayed Hanwoo. That incident caused me & him to get closer & because of that I finally confessed my love to Hanwoo."

Now that the real reason & She's sick.

"Huh that Taehyung. Coming out of nowhere & snatching what was mine from the beginning. At first I couldn't tell him anything because Hanwoo liked to spend time with all three of us. To him Taehyung was like a fresh breath of air, a new energy but all he was to me was someone who stole my place in Hanwoo's heart. & I disliked him for that."

"Sora whatever happened was all in your mind. All this unnecessary hate for Taehyung was born in your mind because you were insecure about yourself. Taehyung had nothing to do with it. And what about Taehyung, did you talk to after that incident. About your insecurity?"

"Hah! I was not insecure. Not over some village boy like Taehyung, alright. And about talking.... Not me nor anybody else wanted to talk to him in the whole college after that shameful act of his. Everyone got to see his true personality & eventually we all ignored him. And after some time he became invisible to all of us."

"H-how could you!?" I can feel my heart aching just by listening to Sora talk so ruthlessly about Taehyung. I can't even imagine what he must have felt that time.

Sora gets up from her seat, coming towards me & suddenly hugging me. "Aww Jungkook. I know you're a kind hearted person but no need to feel sorry about someone like him. He deserved that."

Her last sentence made me push her off me. I glare at her making her take several steps away from me. "And what about the lie of you being pregnant with Hanwoo's child?"

She gulps looking away from me." I had no choice. I had to do that. Because after getting together with Hanwoo I wanted to take the next step in our relationship but he was not ready. But in all that time we spent together I came to know about Hanwoo's fondness towards being a father..-"

"So you lied that you're pregnant."

"Hmm. After hearing the news Hanwoo immediately proposed me. It was sudden but I gladly accepted his offer." She's smiling like she won a trophy. But I must remind her that what she did was wrong.

"Then you're no different from Taehyung." My words seem to stab her because she is looking at me like I said something very wrong. "You too betrayed Hanwoo hyung for your benefits."

But I am right.

She shake her head ready to deny the fact but our conversation ended when we heard Nitu shouting.

°P R E S E N T°

And I'm glad it ended there. I didn't wanted to hear anymore nonsense of Sora. That was her view.

Now the sole person left to talk is Taehyung himself. If I want to know what really happened I must talk to him about that incident.

I get out of my bed to fill up my water jar, going to the kitchen.

"Also there was this man Niki was talking about. She said he met Taehyung often.... Who must that be." I was mumbling to myself walking inside the kitchen.

But suddenly I halt my steps because there's already someone in the kitchen filling a water bottle. The person turns around & my heart blooms with happiness.

"Here, water for you."

I gladly take it from his hands, my smile breaking all boundaries.

"Thanks dramatic sh*-.. Tae."

______________________

Now who's this mysterious man who met Taehyung so often??

Be ready cause the truth is not so far away.

(But honestly speaking I don't know how to deliver that part of the plot 😭... I mean, everything is cooked in my mind but how do I serve it in writing??)
