17: just a friend.

"The real name of love is definitely hatred
Hope is the parent of disappointment and despair
Why didn't I know that the shadow that has casted over my face
Was created from the light called, you"
-- Black G Dragon feat Jennie.

Hunted house. Some would be thrilled for the last attraction but some would rather die than being stuck in a house full of scary things just to find an escape later on.

When all of the couples showed up, Lisa and Jennie couldn't help but notice that there was tension between Jin and Jisoo. Taehyung caught where his girlfriend eyes were at and sigh as he looks at his older friend looking down.

The plan didn't work.

All the four who came up with the plan couldn't help but felt guilty as they feel like they just forced the other four to be together. Jennie gave Taehyung a look of sadness which Taehyung returns with a smile indicating that "it will be okay, don't worry."

The haunted house went well, all of them had fun minus the screaming and some of them almost peed their pants when the workers startled them. Instead of separating they all went inside together as the four felt guilty for their friends.

Days have passed by and the day towards the dance is getting nearer. The girls are excited and both Jisoo and Chaeyoung feel better after the confrontation with the boys and they all started hanging out together again but deep inside Jin and Jimin heart, they feel an ached whenever Jisoo hang out with either Bobby or Jinyoung and the same with Chaeyoung whose getting closer with Chanyeol. Both of them feel a pang in their chest.

"I'm surprised that Jisoo and Chaey don't have a hole in their head with how long the two of you plan to stare at them." Both Jin and Jimin turn their head towards the sassy brunette girl who was side hugging her boyfriend.

"Come on quit staring at the girls," Jungkook said while grabbing both of his friends out from the cafeteria.

They all went to a nearby café as the boys wanted to play basketball in front of the café."Hey the four of us want to order some drinks. Want anything ?"Lisa asked.

The girls heard some of the boys shouted "iced coffee".
"caramel macchiato for me babe."
"I'll share with you, Jen."

The girls was busy ordering and didn't notice a group of girls was watching the boys silently.

Taehyung was about to head to his girlfriend when a very familiar voice called out to him.
"Taehyung. Kim Taehyung."

Taehyung turns around and saw a very familiar girl in front of him. He blinked a few times and rub his eyes continuously as he was making sure his vision wasn't playing games with him.

He heard the girl in front of him chuckle a bit looking at his reaction."Hi. How you've been? It's been so long since we saw each other huh." There was a hint of hopefulness in her voice. It was as if she was hoping for another chance with him.

"I... I.. I-Irene.Y-yeah it's been so long since we talked." Taehyung couldn't help but stutter at the sight of a girl in front of him. He didn't even realise that his girlfriend was towards them.

"Oh come on we're so close back then. We--."

"Tae! Here's your drink. It's latte." Jennie went to Taehyung and handed him their shared drink. "Oh my god... I'm so sorry I've interrupted your conversation. I'm Jennie, Taehyung's girlfriend. And you are?" Jennie smiled sweetly oblivious towards the girl in front of them.

"Ah, it's fine. I was leaving anyway. Here you go Taehyungie." She handed Taehyung a piece of paper with numbers on it."It's my number and ohh I'm Irene, Taehyungie old friend." When she walked away Jennie couldn't help but rolled her eyes on the way the girl Irene was eyeing her from bottom to the top and the way she emphasises the word friend and even called Taehyung with a nickname.

"Tae.. who was she?" Jennie asked when she noticed Taehyung was just staring at the paper Irene gave him.

"Huh? she.. she's just a friend, yeah just a friend of mine." Jennie notices how Taehyung was supposed to convince her that she was just a friend but Jennie couldn't help but feel that Taehyung was convincing himself that she was just a friend.

"Okay. If you say so." Taehyung notice that they were a hint of sadness in her voice as she walks towards the others were.

"Uh oh. It's Irene." Jungkook said while pointing towards where Taehyung and Irene were.

"This isn't gonna turn good huh." Jin sighed as he saw Jennie slowly walks towards them with her head down.
