31.Facing the Fears

Author's pov:

Taehyung continued to tell the moments and situations happened between him and bogum

"few students harassed me during
school,bogum helped me out
from them"

"my dress lost stitch during a performance and before something could happen he saved me by covering me with his shirt"

"i failed my tests,he taught me
everything good,so I passed by next exams,

He helped me out when students picked on me"

"always gave me the best choices
to what to do,

helped me learn things,

he has no one in the name of family,he always hangs out with me and my friends group,

He is such a nice person,everyone says he is not a good person,
but in my eyes I saw only his good behaviour towards me,

I was adapted to his touch,as he will give a good massage on my shoulders after my practice in athletics

But everyone thinks that i am just being so easy

But no one is getting that he is my best friend That's why i am close to him"Taehyung said.

Jennifer hummed and noted down
his thoughts

"i understand your point of view
but I want you to know this,

It's not like you can't be with your friend,

it's like don't let him cross his limits,

You see him as your friend?

But the question is,does he feel the same

Bogum sees you as just a friend?

And did it feel like just a massage
when he massaged your shoulders?"

"can you answer me this question?"

Jennifer asked adjusting her glasses

Taehyung kept silent

"you don't understand my question?"Jennifer asked.

"ok,I'll just act in two ways and you should tell me by which way Bogum behaves towards you"
Jennifer said and stood up

"think me as your male friend"
Jennifer said and sat next to Taehyung

"if a friend wants to appreciate you by patting your shoulder gently
like you can't even feel the touch,
it will be like a feather"she said and gently patted taehyung's shoulder.

"but if he keeps his hand on your shoulder more than 10 seconds,
he likes you,

and even more to the extent,if his intention was to take advantage,
he will just kept his hand there and just caress your shoulder whenever you space out"

"but our inner instincts,
which will tell us to adjust our dress properly,even if it was slightly unproper,will feel that alert us every second"

"And you felt it whenever Bogum touched you?"

Taehyung remained silent,with eyes staring at nothing

Taehyung recalled every moments with Bogum and the situations he went through

Like in one party where Bogum,not so intentionally gripped one his dress strap and slide it down when he was drunk

Another moment where he bruisingly gripped his waist when he was the one who made him fall

Bogum cupped under his chest during a dance practice.

Uncomfortable situations flooded in taehyung's mind and his head hurt so badly.
