The New Girl

Chapter 15: Answer

The question made Taehyung smile. It was a first time someone had asked about him and his interest. Usually, people around his age would look at him weirdly; calling him an alien.

"Well, i've always loved taking pictures." Taehyung smiled, looking up. He reached out his hand above as if catching the sun. "I like to capture beautiful moments and keep them around to remind myself that there's always good in everything." Taehyung turned and rested his gaze on Jisoo, smiling. "Whether you may be in a bad or messy situation."

Jisoo had always known that Kim Taehyung is one of those people who always thinks positively. Yes, there were times that he was acting strange and peculiar but he was also kind and a very cheerful person. He always find good in every people.

"Does it not bother you?"

"Hmm?" Taehyung blinked. "About what?"

"I know i'm being harsh here but i think you're being too optimistic for your own good." Jisoo slapped the truth into his face. "You should be careful Kim Taehyung. People will take advantage of you for being naive."

Taehyung laughed, feeling amused. "I just like to give someone the benefit of the doubt Jisoo-ah. Everyone deserves to have second chances, right?"

Jisoo paused to think. She suddenly remembered Lee Taeyong. Should she give the man the benefit of the doubt? Suddenly, Jisoo heard a click, interrupting her from her deep thoughts. Taehyung had managed to snap a picture of her while she was distracted.

"Hey! What was that for?" Jisoo gaped.

"I told you." Taehyung smirked. "I like to capture beautiful moments."

"Hey Tae, Seulgi and the others were asking if we're free after class." Yuta said while making their way to the school cafeteria for their lunch break. "They're going to karaoke this afternoon."

"No, thanks. Tell her i'm busy." Taeyong didn't think twice to turn down the offer, making his friends to wonder what was wrong with him.

Just then a group of second year girls screamed Taeyong's name. Yuta thought his popular friend would make passes on them but to his surprise, Taeyong chose to ignore them.

"What the hell?" Yuta exclaimed.

"What?" Taeyong raised an eyebrow, looking at Yuta.

"Ah!" Johnny smirked towards Taeyong. "I know what's going on with our friend over here." Johnny wiggled his eyebrows, teasing. "It's a girl, isn't it?"

"What?" Yuta's face contorted. "Don't tell me it's Kim Jisoo?"

Taeyong frowned. "What's wrong with her?"

Yuta rolled his eyes. "Yah, she humiliated you the other day, remember? The hottest guy on campus was told off by the new girl. And clearly, she's not interested in you."

Taeyong scoffed. "How sure are you? You said it yourself, i'm the hottest guy in our school so why wouldn't she be interested?"

"Wait. If you're already this assertive, does that mean you really like this Kim Jisoo girl?" Johnny asked, feeling giddy. "Did you already confess?"

Unlike Yuta, Johnny is a type of friend who always supports his friend. He's the total opposite of Yuta.

Taeyong gave his friends a meaningful smile. Johnny howled in glee, teasing Taeyong.

Yuta groaned. "Does it really have to be her?"

Taeyong grabbed Yuta's shoulder and squeezed it. He understood his feelings. He was just worried for him as a friend.
