Bucket List || Taejun

I'm sorry, but I like someone else.

"S-stop calling me that. ."

"I'm so sorry. . But I like someone else. ."

Hearing that made Beomgyu cover his face, his crying getting louder and his hands visibly shaking like crazy.

When Taehyun tried to hug him, he backed away.

"Please, hear me out!"

"W-who, Taehyun?! Fuck, why?. ." His eyes were bloodshot red, he bit his bottom lip so hard that the skin ripped off and it drew blood.

Taehyun felt like crying, but that wouldn't help the situation that he's in right now.

"I. . Can't say that. ." He looked away, not able to tell him eye to eye.

Beomgyu coughed and sniffled, trying his best to stop his crying to a level where he could say something.

"No need to. . T-tell me. I can just tell who it is." He sadly smiled, but his face spoke louder than his lips.

He clearly knew who it was and is absolutely devastated.

"Beomgyu hyung. . I- . . God, I shouldn't have said that. . Please, let me help you. . I'm so sorry, I- I don't know what I'm doing either. ." He kept rambling on and on and tried his best to come closer to Beomgyu, but the older kept backing away and further away, his face full of resentment.

"I-I'm sorry. . Please. . Just. ." He couldn't make out the words properly and the only thing they were able to hear were muffling sounds and pure torture of crying.

Kai stood up and hugged the older, trying his best to calm him down.
He shot up a look at Taehyun.

"What a great friend you are, Taehyun." He coldly said, and walked away with Beomgyu.

Taehyun stood there, his brows furrowed, his eyes twitched, his lips shaking, not able to sound out words.
He couldn't believe it.

He once again unintentionally hurt his friend.

"Yah, Kang Taehyun. Was what you said necessary? Are you stupid?" Jungwon drew red on his face and grabbed Taehyun's collar, like he was about to fight him.

"Hey, Jungwon. Calm down, dude." Heeseung stood up and tried to calm him down.

"Shut the fuck up, Heeseung." Jungwon glared at the older, making him instantly back off.

No one wanted to mess with the red-haired's wrath.

"I-. . I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." Taehyun kept avoiding Jungwon's upset gaze and looked down, not able to face his classmates.

"Did you have to put salt on his wound?! And is 'sorry' all you can say right now?! We're friends, and I admire you, but never would I have thought you were this kind of a low person. I lost all my respect for you, Taehyun. Consider our friendship- . . Not done. Yet. Maybe reflect about what a shitty thing you just did to your best friend."

He scoffed and walked away.

"I hate to be that person, but he's right. Was that even you? Why would you say that to Beomgyu?" Heeseung ironically added 'salt to Taehyun's wound' and walked away with disappointment written on his face.
