The One Next Door |KTH

Chapter 31

Looking down at the floor, I saw a packet of tissues.

I don't remember having tissues in my pocket...

Gradually, I picked it up while looking at the lockers from a distance.

Taehyung stood there, looking back at me.

~Continue~  

I looked down on the floor instantly. 

Tsk. Why is he caring about me. 

"Noona!" Jungkook ran towards me. 

I quickly stuffed the packet of tissue into my pocket. 

"A-are you ok? H-here tissues." He handed me some tissues. 

"It's ok. Let's go." I smiled at him. 

"Are you sure?" He stared at me. 

"Come on, didn't you say you had a project you needed help with?" I chuckled. 

As school ended for the day, I walked home with Jungkook since he needed help with the project...and Taehyung was there too. I glimpsed Taehyung walking on the other side of the road while Jungkook and me were walking on the other side. 

"Wow today's so cold noona, aren't you cold?" Jungkook shivered a little 

"Really?" I grinned. 

I took another glance at Taehyung to see drops of water dripping down from his wet hair. 

This jerk. He's gonna catch a cold. Does he not care?

"AHH! I DON'T CARE!" I messed my hair up. 

"Gwenchana noona?" 

"KOOKIE LET'S RUN!" 

"EYY? WAE??" 

I instantly started running with Jungkook following behind. I felt the wind lashing against my skin. 

I needed to clear my mind... 

of Taehyung...

Soon, I ran out of energy. I stopped and panted heavily.

"Noona! Is that all you got?" Jungkook chuckled as he sped ahead.

 This kid...

"YAH! WHEN I CATCH UP TO YOU, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" 

He grinned mischievously and ran ahead.

I looked behind, to see a girl running up to Taehyung. 

Sung Hee I recalled. The new girl...who likes Taehyung...

I suddenly felt a push from behind. 

"Noona! I'm hungry! Let's go quickly!" Jungkook whined. 

We got to my apartment at the same time as Taehyung, and as soon as I opened the door, Jungkook ran in while he pulled me in at the same time. 

"Yah! Jungkook!" I yelled. 

"I'm hungry!!" 

After the snack, I helped Jungkook with his project. But something was distracting me. 

"Noona? What about this?" 

"Huh?" I stared at his project blankly. 

"Noona! Have you been listening to me?" He whined. 

"Mianhae, I'll be back ,wait for me for a moment."  I stood up and walked out of my apartment. 

I face palmed myself as I stood in front of his apartment. 

What are you thinking Mi Yeong? Are you going crazy?! You are meant to be MAD at him! You should be feeling absolutely depressed about your life. YOU SHOULD FEEL SHAME UPON YOURSELF. 

I exerted a heavy sigh and at that moment his door opened, to reveal him still in his school uniform. It looked like he was going to go out.  

I stared at his hair, drenched and still dripping beads of water. 

I then immediately looked down at the floor. 

"Bring a towel to school next time." 

With that, I walked back to my apartment.

Crap...

Did I just-
