i was walking down the street when i saw your man
i saw that my predictions were right
isn't that chaeyoung's boyfriend, taehyung?
what's he doing with another girl?
how do i know? well, one things for sure: chaeyoung doesn't have purple hair. i just saw her today. she has brown hair, which is quite a drastic difference compared to bright purple hair.
he took off the ring you gave him
and linked his arm and someone
i'll just leave it at that
"you know the ring you gave him for your first anniversary?" i asked her, tapping my fingers on her bed out of nervousness.
"yeah, what about it?" she cocked her head to the side.
"well... i saw him with another woman. before he linked his arms with her, he took off the ring and put it in his pocket. basically, he pretended like it didn't exist."
but you actually get mad at me
saying that there's no way he'd do that
"you... you must've seen someone else." she furrowed her eyebrows, nose scrunching up in confusion. "he would never."
"seriously, i did!" i let out an exasperated sigh, hands in my hair.
"no way. he's in the bighit studio practicing right now for their next comeback. there's no way he is out right now, with another girl." she shook her head in disbelief.
i became aware of you being upset
and i said i must have seen someone else
yes, i'll lie for you
"maybe i saw someone else that looked similar," i lied, pretending to rethink it.
"see, i told you so!" she chuckled cutely.
i know i was right though. i know it was him.
you look happy when you talk about him
you look good since you're laughing like this
"and the other day, he won me a huge stuffed animal from the carnival! honestly, it was so funny how he managed to do it," she laughed, reminiscing their good times while we were at a small and cute corner café. her laugh turned into soft, child-like giggles that made me smile.
and when she's smiling like this, she looks prettier than normal. her smile lights up the world and the way her cheeks go up and look a tad-bit chubbier than they are make her look like a happy baby. just pure happiness.
he didn't deserve her. she deserved better.
you say that you love him him
that it's going to last forever
you believe in this and i don't know what to say no more
"i really do think i'm going to be with him forever. it's like i found my soulmate, you know?" she played with her fingers. "i really hope he is."
"good for you," i whispered, taking a sip of my water. "i've found mine too but she's too hooked on a guy who doesn't love her the same way i do."
all of your friends know him well
why are you the only one who can't see what everyone else sees?
"do you think chaeyoung will ever leave him?" jisoo asked me, a concerned look etched on her face as we watched chaeyoung ramble on about what taehyung and her recently did.
"only when she sees it herself, maybe she will." i shrugged. "i've already told her but she refuses to believe me."
"that's a bit... concerning," lisa frowned. "i want her to be able to get over him."
"so do i, but he may have sucked her in too deep." jennie sighed, looking at me pitifully. my heart was longing for her, crying and breaking just a little bit more every time she talked about him.
oh chaeyoung, when will you realise he's not good for you?
they say love is blind
oh baby, you so blind
i really hope you will break up
"he hasn't been replying to my texts lately," she pouted, looking at her phone sadly.
"maybe he's busy, with the comeback and all." i forced a monotone face even though i wanted to scream that he was, indeed, cheating on her.
"maybe you're right," she sighed. "i think i'll go visit now."
"see you, then."
oh i hate you for not knowing me
i hate this waiting
please let go of his hand now
when you are sad, i feel like i could die baby
sure, you mean the world to me. but i don't know if i meant the world to you too. waiting for you to realise is painful and tiring, and i keep waiting for the moment you'd let go of his hand. seeing you sad makes my heartache and i don't know how long i can continue to feel this pain. i don't know when i'll reach my breaking point.
what does that bastard have that i don't?
exactly why can't i have you?
sure, he looked better than me, was more famous and all but truly, what does he have that i don't? what's so special about him that has you hooked? why can't i have the same thing? why can't you love me instead?
that bastard doesn't love you
until when are you going to cry like a fool?
his love is a lie. he never truly loved you, he's only ever used you to feel good about himself. when, when, when are you going to come crying to me? i'm sick and tired of waiting.
expensive cars, pretty clothes
classy restaurants, they suit you well
i've seen you attend award shoes and company dinners. you look like a goddess in a dress. or anything, really.
but that bastard next to you really isn't it
he does not got well with you
he smiles fake smiles next to you
he touches your cheeks and hair
but inside, he's definitely thinking of some other girl
taehyung is like an open book. you just need to inspect a little closer and you could read him for days on end. i've seen the smiles he makes for you.
they don't look genuine.
yeah, he touches your cheeks and fixes your hair, but does he really know what he's doing? is he really thinking of you?
how could he do that? it's like a sin
as much as you shed tears,
i'll treat you better baby
the pain you handle by yourself
will you share some of them to me baby?
"i- i really can't believe he would d-do that to m-me," she sobbed into my sweater, gripping it tightly. "i thought he really loved me..."
"shh, i'm here." i gently caressed her head, wiping her tears. "don't cry, he's not worth your tears."
she found out about it. she found out about him cheating and came to me, sobbing and gasping for breath. i immediately took her in, bringing her to my room and setting her on the bed. i swear i'm gonna kill that sick fuck the next time i saw him.
she clung onto me tighter, sitting on my lap.
"sorry f-for wetting your s-shirt and wasting y-your time," she sniffed, hiccuping every few seconds.
"it's alright," i smiled. "that's what best friends are for, right?"
oh how much i wanted to say i love you.
please look at me
why don't you know that your love is me?
why are you the only one who doesn't know?
seeing those crystal tears stream down her face lit a fire in me. he knew exactly what he was doing. why didn't he just breakup with her rather than hurt her like this? doesn't he have any feelings?
some people are just so unbelievably heartless and that makes me sick as fuck. and it's official. kim taehyung is a vile creature who should not be anywhere near chaeyoung. if he is, i'll cut his arms and legs off and make it look like an accident. believe me, i can.
she soon fell asleep in my embrace, her soft snores leaving her mouth adorably. her tears had finally stopped flowing, leaving behind streaks of dampness in their awake.
i gently lay her down on the bed, tucking her under the blankets and got ready to go sleep in the guest bedroom. as i pushed myself off of the bed, her quiet voice begged me to stay.
"please stay," she whimpered, eyes closed and hands searching for my figure. "i don't want to be alone."
"okay." i went back to the bed and lay myself under the covers, her arms immediately hugging me tighter. i hugged back, and it was like we were spooning. watching her fall back asleep cuddled into my chest made me feel a sudden surge of happiness and i, too, succumbed to the spell of sleep.
——————————————————
she slowly got over him. sure, it took time, but i was willing to wait for her no matter how long it took. i was there with her every step of the way, every time she broke down or every time she managed to look at him without wanting to cry. i was there with her through every progress and every step back and i didn't mind.
now, she was almost completely over him. sure, she still had a bit of him left in her heart, but she was trying her best. that made me proud.
my feelings didn't leave me. they stayed and grew, and sometimes i wish they didn't, though. it just made helping her get over him hurt more.
"hanbin-ah!" she tapped me the your shoulder. "can i talk to you for a second?"
"sure, what's up?" i turned around and faced her, ushering her to sit down on the couch as we were in the recording studio. thankfully, none of my or her members were here at the moment so it was only the two of us.
"i need to tell you something," she started fiddling with her fingers, eyes moving left and right.
"what's going on?"
"i love you. like, love love you. and i feel stupid for just realising now because you've been there for me this whole time without asking for anything in return and i genuinely don't deserve you. you're an angel, kim hanbin. and it's okay if you don't have the same feelings as me, because you're allowed to! you weren't obliged to stay with me the entire time and let me cry into your sweater and hog your bed, but you let me! and if it weren't for you, i don't know where i'd be. thank you so much. i... i love you." she took a deep breath and hid her face in her sweater paws, a dark pink tinting her cheeks. i couldn't help but chuckle at her cuteness.
"it's alright and i do in fact love you too. i was waiting for the day that bastard taehyung left you so i could make you fall for me like i did for you. loving you is both the best and worst feeling ever. best because your happiness is my happiness and worst because i have to watch your heart get broken and try not to murder the ones who broke it. but thank you for realising, though. i love you too." i stood up and opened my arms for her. she set down her hands and stood up, walking towards me and hugging back. kissing her forehead, we stayed like that for a few minutes until we eventually got tired of standing.
giggling as we sat down, i stared into her eyes as she stared back, and i was mesmerised by the stars that danced in her eyes. leaning in, i kissed her on the lips and she kissed back, officially making me the happiest living thing in the world. when we pulled away, it was like her eyes sparkled even more and i could see planets in them and billions upon billons of stars that danced and filled the sky.
"i love you, my idiot."
"and i love you too, my saviour."
i guess i have everything that bastard doesn't.
