Chapter 8

Margo

Is there really a need to avoid Kim Taehyung? Do you really have to avoid the only person that can understand you? He doesn't seem like the type that will spread everything that he knows, because in that way he'll also reveal that he is your sister's boyfriend.

And you're sure there is a reason why they kept their relationship a secret. Because if the people that is close to Kim Taehyung knows that he's in a relationship with your sister, then they'd understand why he cried that night.

So maybe you don't really have to avoid him. Maybe, you can be just civil with him, after all, he's Kara's boyfriend. Even after everything you're feeling everytime you see him or everytime you get near him, you'll be civil with him because she's your sister's boyfriend.

You tilted your head, what are you even feeling towards him anyway? Why do you get all shakey and nervous everytime he's get near you? Why do you keep on holding your breath and feeling that cold sensation in your stomach everytime you see him?

It was really weird. Now, it's even weird because your eyes are locked to him as you sit on the bleachers of the soccer field. Your classmates were playing soccer today for your physical education class and those who aren't on the game gets to sit on the bleachers and wait for their turn.

You saw Taehyung walking on the side of the soccer field when you saw this girl with strawberry blonde hair approach him. She looked like a half American and half Korean because her features are more defined and sharp than most koreans do.

That girl seemed familiar. You tried to dig in your head where you've seen her and you came up to the first day of school. She was on of the elite group at the cafeteria!

That's when you noticed that Gucci shoes she's wearing. The girl is rich and its obvious with her looks, her hair was all dolled up, curled and kept in a hairban, you can she that she's also wearing make up but she put it on light and only highlighted her features. The girl is beautiful and she's also approaching Taehyung.

She called him, arms crossed against her chest and brows furrowed. Kim Taehyung stopped walking and let her catch up to him. He looked at her with a slightly annoyed face. They talk for a while and you try to read their lips from the distance.

They were under the sun, her strawberry blonde hair shines. You hissed when you couldn't catch what they were saying.

"Ah...Margo, the heiress of the top car company here in Korea. They look good together, don't they?" Nayeon nudged your shoulder with hers as she asked you.

You glance at her but turned to the two away from you again. Your eyes squints when the sunlight became too harsh. You saw Taehyung was about to pass by her when she took his wrist.

He stopped and you can see how his brow raised. He looked back at her and you can see how she's trying to pull off that intimidating face. Taehyung pulled his wrist from her and took her wrist instead. Your eyes widened when he pulled her close to him.

What the heck is he doing? You though he loves your sister! Why is he being close to this Margo? Your brows furrowed and soon, you felt yourself being annoyed. Of course, who wouldn't be annoyed when you saw your dead sister's boyfriend flirt with someone?

You're annoyed for her sake! Your sister is already dead, can't they give her peace and respect?

You look away from them and tried to watch your classmates play soccer. You saw Nayeon's smirking face coming in your view.

"Someone's jealous." She sang.

You glared at her, whatever Nayeon's implying is impossible. He's your sister's boyfriend, you can't like him! And that will always stay the same.

You tilted your head when you remembered what happened yesterday. He was the first one to care for you after your sister died. Actually, you never expected that he'd care for you. But he did, even when it's cloaked by harshness.

You felt ashamed when you remembered you haven't thanked him after he made it all light for you and after wiping your tears. Maybe, you should go say thanks to him after class, huh?

And so you decided to go on the rooftop after class. The sky was already turning orange and the sun was ready to go down already and you were ready to face him again for today but he wasn't there. The rooftop looked so lonely without Kim Taehyung who wore leather jackets.

You walk on the rooftop and decided to just feel the refreshing air for once, your eyes were closed when you heard footsteps coming. Not just from one person but two. You hid behind the old cabinets and peeked.

The metal door burst open and Taehyung barge in. You held your breath when another person came in, it was the girl from earlier. The girl on the soccer field with strawberry blonde hair and from the elite group of students. The girl that's named Margo.

She seems to be in rage as you saw her brows furrowed. She stopped from her tracks and Taehyung had his back on her, they were meters apart when she talked.

"I like you, I said. Do you even hear me? I've been telling you this for so long." She said, like she's annoyed that he wasn't listening to her.

She looked like a nagging girlfriend at that.

"What's wrong with you? I'm pretty and rich, we practically belong with each other but you always seem so uninterested in me. Tell me, do you have someone already?" She asked, her voice was strong and full of confidence.

"Why should I tell you? Are you someone important to me?" Taehyung said without facing her.

You saw how she became dumbfounded, her lips agape and her fists balled. She seemed hurt from what he said and Taehyung doesn't care.

"Don't throw yourself at me too much or your looks and money will go to waste." He finished then he looked at her.

Her face turned red then she stomped her foot before leaving the rooftop. She slammed the metal door close and then there was silence. You watch him stand there until he glance at the cabinet in front of you.

"Come out. I know you're there." He said.

You gasped as you glance at the big cabinet in front of you, you're sure it was covering the whole you. You slowly step out of the cabinet and revealed yourself. He turned his back on you and then you felt that uneasiness again.

Just say anything. Say anything to break the silence and awkwardness, you tried to tell yourself.

"That girl's throwing herself at you, why did you reject her?" Your tongue stings as you ask him. "She's right. She's pretty and rich, you belong with each other."

He turned to you, his brows furrowed and his eyes were sharp. He's pissed. At you, maybe.

"No one has a say on who belongs with me. Not her, not even you." He said.

The harshness and sharpness in his voice made you step back. Maybe you have to rethink about reaching for him? His reply made you wary of him.

"Do you still love my sister?" You asked, trying to distant yourself.

You didn't know why you asked that but somehow that question made you braver. Like you're asking for your sister. Or maybe it was for assurance that he doesn't like Margo.

"I don't think that will ever change." He replied.
