Involvement

Sora's POV"Do you want to eat?" Taehyung asked as he sped his way toward the mansion."You think?! I'm hanging onto my dear life right now!" I screamed. I'll never get used to the speed! Never."Araso, let's grab some drinks," He chuckled, finally slowing down and made a sharp turn down the street when he realized I was turning pale."I said I'm not hungry~!" I whined when we came to a halt. Taehyung got off the bike and helped me with my helmet."I'm hungry. Come on," Taehyung beckoned me. I sighed and hopped off the bike... following him into the cafe."You want anything?" Taehyung asked while scanning the menu."No, I'm not hungry," I gulped at the delicious-looking cake."Are you on a diet?" Taehyung asked, turning to look at me suspiciously."Huh? Oh, no no. Um... maybe a little," I admitted, feeling a bit flustered. I just don't want to eat too much junkies."You look alright though, like, just right. Don't do diets. Bones are only for dogs. Keep some meat," He chuckled, turning to the cashier. I like how he's so straightforward about things."Two caramel macchiato and that chocolate cake, please," Taehyung informed the cashier but she stood unblinkingly... staring at Taehyung. He gets that a lot... the stares... he's popular amongst females."Excuse me?" Taehyung waved his hands before the cashier until she snapped back to reality. Does he even notice it? I mean how can he be so oblivious???"Ah! Neh. I'm sorry," The cashier bowed, looking a little bit embarrassed. He paid for the food and drinks after refusing to let me pay for my orders."I'll treat you, Busan kid," He teased, sitting across from me."Busan kid...?" I chuckled."So... did you two work it out? I hope he's not mad at you anymore," Taehyung questioned curiously."Yeah, we did. He's fine with it," I nodded at Taehyung."That's great. Jungkook is pissed at me. Didn't have a good time at school today," Taehyung sighed, taking off his black leather jacket."Tsk, he's a troublemaker," I huffed. He tried to ruin my relationship!"Yeah, he's spoiled. I am too but not as spoiled as he is," Taehyung nodded."What about Mira? Did anything happen?" I asked curiously."Oh, she's dating Minho. Bad choice, but I guess she did it because she's hurt," Taehyung shrugged."Omo? Minho? He's a pervert though," I gasped when the waitress settled down our drinks and my piece of chocolate cake."I know, but she's a player anyway. So they go well together," Taehyung took a sip of his drink, so I happily ate my cake."You want some?" I asked, offering some cake to him, and to my surprise, he opened his mouth. I hate it when I offer food to show respect, but the person accepts it. You're supposed to say no! I half-heartily shove the cake into his mouth."I'll order some for Yoongi and eomma," I smiled when I remembered they both love chocolate cakes. Taehyung suddenly started choking on his drinks, so I looked at him in confusion. Ah... he's so clumsy..."Are you okay?" I questioned, grabbing some tissues to wipe off his spits."Sp-peaking of the devil," Taehyung coughed, staring past me. I turned to find Mira and Minho walking through the door together."Ah. Taehyung!" Minho waved. Taehyung groaned and rubbed his face in annoyance."What?" Taehyung asked dully when Minho approached us."Oh, hi Sora," Minho winked at me. Ew. Just ew."I see you're spending time with your ordinary girlfriend," Mira huffed, pushing her hair behind her ear. Yup, she's very hurt."I see you're spending time with your fuckboy boyfriend," Taehyung smirked at Mira."Don't be so mean. We're only here to say hi," Minho smiled and patted Taehyung's shoulder."Don't touch me," Taehyung slapped Minho's hand off him. Mira, on the other hand, kept on glaring at me, so I glanced away from her."Araso, we'll get going now," Minho pulled Mira away from us."Sora, promise me you'll run if you meet them while you're alone," Taehyung turned to look at me anxiously."I'll be fine," I dug into my chocolate cake. Uhhhh this is so good-"Promise me!" He snapped, raising his pinkie before my face."Araso... I promise," I nodded, dismissively wrapping my pinkie around his."Oh yeah, there's a big ceremony coming up in a few weeks," Taehyung straightened his body while he watched me devour the cake."What ceremony?" I asked, briefly glancing up at him."Ahh... stop eating. You're distracting me," He whined as he watched me enjoy my cake."Alright..." I sighed and put my spoon down."It's a ceremony to announce the new alphas," Taehyung folded his arms. Tsk, rich people have many ways to waste as much money as they possibly can."Yeah and?" I asked, turning to look at my chocolate cake. I want to eat it."Every alpha is supposed to bring a date because it shows that we're strong since we're bonding with our allies, and I'm asking if you'll come with me?" He questioned and leaned forward with a keen smile."If you haven't noticed, I'm not an alpha," I chuckled, reaching out for my cake but Taehyung pulled it away from me, so I grimaced at him."I know. My ally is this ordinary girl with a weird obsession for chocolate cake," Taehyung smiled, pushing the cake back towards me."Are you mocking me?" I grimaced, shoving a spoonful of cake into my mouth."No, but seriously. I don't really want to take any of the alpha girls with me. All they care about is my rank. I'm more comfortable with you," He eyed me sadly."Yoongi will not like it and I don't think my parents want me to be involved," I rejected his offer."I'll talk to both Yoongi and your parents, plus it's gonna look weird if I bring another girl with me after claiming you as my girlfriend," Taehyung smiled."I'll go with you if you get their permission," I exhaled. Before leaving, I bought the cakes for eomma and Yoongi. It was almost dark when we finally arrived at the mansion."Yoongi~" I smiled when I found him walking around the garden with eomma."I'll head inside," Taehyung took off the helmet for me. I nodded and quickly dashed into the garden towards eomma and Yoongi."Hello~!" I smiled... stopping in front of them."Ah, how was school?" Eomma asked, reaching out to pat my shoulder."It's tougher than I thought, but I got through the first day," I smiled at her."Yoongi here has been walking me through this beautiful garden," Eomma smiled, turning to look at Yoongi."That's why I love him!" I smiled, softly kissing his cheek."Oh! I got you two chocolate cakes!" I smiled... lifting up the box in excitement."Omo, I've been craving for it," Yoongi gasped, looking at me with hearts in his eyes. He loves chocolate cakes."Me too," Eomma chuckled._________________________________"How was school?" Yoongi asks when we head back to my room."Really boring and oh! There was this girl who kept on bragging about herself," I shrugged."Seoul is boring. All I did was stay in the mansion all day long," Yoongi grumbled, resting his head on my shoulder while we stroll down the hallway."I know. We can't go for a ride or enjoy ourselves at the local food stall," I agreed."YAH! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME?!" Someone screamed from the room nearby... startling both Yoongi and I."Who's that...?" Yoongi quietly asked me."Jungkook, the asshole. Don't worry-""ARGHHHH WHAT THE FUCK!" Yoongi yelped when Jungkook kicked the door repeatedly from inside his room."Let's go," I quickly dragged Yoongi past Jungkook's room. Jungkook seemed mad because he was tearing his door into pieces. He has temper issues."Yah~ what the hell. Are rich kids usually that violent?" Yoongi scratches his head as we enter our room."Yeah, they are," I uncomfortably rubbed my wrist when I remembered what Taehyung did to me."Taehyung too? He seems nice," Yoongi asks, turning to look at me."Taehyung also has that side of him. I upset him once. It wasn't so nice," I rubbed my wrist."Yah... What's wrong? Did he hurt you?" Yoongi asked and walked toward me when he noticed my uneasy expression."Ah, ani. It was not on purpose, it was my fault," I shrugged, placing my wrist behind my back, but Yoongi pulled my hand towards him and examined it."The wound is fading, but I can still see it. What happened? Why didn't you tell me about this?" Yoongi questioned in shock. He's mad. Mad at Taehyung again."It was the first few days here and he was annoying me, so I ran away for a couple of hours. I didn't know the entire mansion would be out searching for me. I didn't know about the whole alpha thing back then so I wasn't aware of the danger I was in. He found me... and yeah. He was very upset... so..." I confessed guiltily."Aish! That asshole! He can't just hurt you like that just because-!" Yoongi snapped, attempting to walk out of the room but I quickly blocked the door."It's fine. We resolved it already. He came up to me and apologized the next day," I shook my head and hugged Yoongi to calm him down."No one can hurt you, no. one. Tell me the next time someone hurt you, okay?" He whispered, wrapping his arms around my waist."Sora? Can we come in?" I heard appa's voice on the other side of the door, so we quickly broke the hug."Neh," I smiled, opening the door for eomma and appa."Ah, they're treating you well. I'm glad," Eomma glanced around the room."We need to discuss some important issues with you," Appa smiles after closing the door."Ah, I'll leave you guys alone," Yoongi tried to walk towards the door, but eomma stopped him."Yoongi you can stay with us, we trust you. You're a part of our family now," Eomma smiled, gently patting his hand. I shot him a proud look, so he chuckled softly."We brought you here, so you can fulfill your dreams. But we didn't like the idea of you living alone so here you are," Appa sat down on the couch with eomma while I sat beside Yoongi."I know. I'm only here to study," I smiled at them."We don't want you to be involved with anything to do with the Jeons and Kims. Especially the boys, it's not healthy for you," Eomma smiled weakly at me. I know eomma, I know."Ara, are you talking about the alphas? And their hectic game of survival and stuff?" I asked, cluelessly folding my arms, causing my parents to look at me in surprise."Sora, this is serious. How did you know?" Appa sat up straight."Taehyung told me and I've met a few others," I shrugged."Oh my..." Eomma covered her mouth. What's wrong? Why are they so serious about this?"Did he do something that involves you with him?" Appa asked, clasping his hands together. Why is there suddenly tension in the room?"Yeah, I think I'm involved. You should have told me earlier, maybe I could've avoided it," I sighed. They sat there in silence, so Yoongi reached out to hold my hand."I should have told you, that's true. Now you're involved..." Appa stared blankly at the floor. What? What's with them? Why are they so worried about me?
