Complicated Heartstrings | Taehyung FF

Chapter 4

Kim Jiyeon/Kei (Your) POV

"Jiyeon?"

Hearing the familiar voicem I turned to look behind me.

My cheeks heat up and my breathing got caught up in my throat.

"...Jungkook?"

"Noona...it's late, why're you still here?"

"Uh well...it's raining outside...and I don't know how to get home without getting wet..."

He gestured to the umbrella he was holding, "wanna share?"

"Eh?! Really?! Er-I mean, is it okay with you?..."

He laughed lightly, "yeah, it's okay with me Kei, my house is in the same direction too"

Kei.

A sudden feeling of warmth ran through my body, 'Huh...it's been a long time since he called me by that name...the last time he called me that was when he--...', I sighed as I clutched my chest, 'forget about it Jiyeon! Forget about that stupid crush that he found out about....aughh!! Aish! I can't forget ittttt'

"Noona? Are you okay?"

I sighed. Noona. Again.

I missed the old times....oh who am I kidding? I should just forget about those times. Aish Jiyeon stop!

"--na? noona? You there?"

"Huh?", I snapped out of my thoughts and smiled sheepishly, Jungkook gave me a look of concern. "Are you okay?

I plastered on a forced smile and replied, "ah! Yes! I'm okay, let's go?"

I started walking to the entrance when I heard him whisper faintly, "was it because I called you kei?"

I turned my head around so quickly that I swear my hair almost smacked my face.

"W-wha?! A-aniyo! that's not the reason!", I flushed

His cheeks tinted pink a bit and he quickly replied, "h-huh!? You heard that? Uhm.. Let's go!"

He avoided eye contact when he grabbed my wrist and dragged me with him under his umbrella, to walk home in the rain.

'ahhhh this is so awkward...super awkward..'

I've tried talking to him to make things less awkward by trying to talk to him or by asking him questions....but he would keep quiet or reply in one word answers.

Wahhh, what's worse is he's still holding me by the wrist.

I tried pulling my hand away but he wouldn't budge.

'His hand feels warm though...Aish! Kim Jiyeon! Are you crazy?! You shouldn't feel this way, he's your bestfriend's crush!! And--and-- you have a fiancée!!'

Mhm~ but he used to be your crush in elementary too~ you like Jungkook more than your arranged fiancée don't cha?~ don't lie to yourself~

'Yah! Stop saying such things inner conscience! TT-TT'

'Is this Karma for the bad things I've done in life? TT_TT'

When we finally arrived at the doorstep of my house I turned to him and gave him an awkward smile before bowing politely "Thanks for sharing your umbrella with me"

I was about to turn the door knob when Jungkook spoke up.

"Ah! Wait!", I turned around and he looked embarrassed, "um uh.."

His face then turned serious.

"Noona...can we go back to how we used to be?..."

"W-what?", I was surprised, I wasn't expecting him to say that...heck I wasn't expecting him to share an umbrella with me!
