SIXTEEN

The lights were turned off and I was holding the cake in my hands while standing just few steps away from the door, waiting for him to arrive. Jin called us and told that they will be reaching any minute now. All the other guests, like, huge business owners, models, and celebrities and other artist stood at the extreme back while the close friends stood just behind me with Jimin.

We heard the front door open and every one started to sing the birthday song. The lights were on by now and there stood Taehyung, with a huge smile on his face, in front of me. He came forward and I asked him to cut the cake and he gladly followed. Everyone cheered for him. All his close friends pulled him in a hug and started decorating his face with the icing of the cake. Few seconds later, his face was completely covered with fondant and stuff. Everyone started laughing and the time was going well until he suddenly planned on ruining me.

He came running towards me and engulfed me in a hug rubbing his cheeks on my face, which made me look like a clown. We both were covered wirh cream.

"Aishh, idiot.", I said, frowning.

"Aww, even today you gonna call me idiot. Not fair.", he said while pouting like a baby.

"Haha, you are cute. Anyway, go and wash your self up and I have kept your gift in your room. Wear that and come down.", I said why blushing slightly.

"Aww, thank you sweerheart. I will wear what you bought."

He pulled away from the hug and faced the crowd who were laughing and talking with each other.

"May I have your attention guys?! I would appreciate if you suit yourself and have fun. I gotta go wash and change my clothes. I am all ruined you see.", he said while looking down at himself and the crowd cheered and bursted out laughing.

Wirh that said, he went to his room and I went to the guest room. Even I had to change as he literally ruined my dress and face as well. The guest room was also on the first floor where the boys' bedrooms were.

I changed my clothes and came down only to find everyone wilding on the dance floor. The music was loud as hell and almost everyone was drinking and dancing. My eyes roamed around the room and I immediately spotted Jimin dancing with some random girls and Jin just chilling on the sofa while drinking with few other guys. I was searching for Taehyung, but he was nowhere to be seen. I thought he might take time to fresehen up as his condition earlier was really bad. I had one or two shots of Vodka and was sitting by the bar.

It has been almost thirty minutes now and Taehyung was still not present here. Memories from the last party I attended suddenly rushed through my mind. What if, he is doing the same thing that Jungkook did to me? What if he leaves me? We were not a couple, neither we have any love relations with each other, but the way we acted and showed emotions towards each other, it was certain that we would be officially dating soon. I waited for few more minutes and then decided to check up on him.

I walked to his room and slowly turned the knob and the door opened.

TAEHYUNG'S POV

{earlier}

I opened the door of my room and saw a cute little bag on my bed. I went in and took the bag and looked inside only to find a box that is wrapped up in a very cute gift wrap. I slowly took it out and removed the gift wrap. On opening the box, I saw it was a cute sweater from Gucci. She knows what I like and that is the best part of her.

I put it on my bed and went to take a quick shower. As I came out of my bathroom, I quickly did my hair, wore that sweater and was about to step out, when the door suddenly opened.

"Hey Taehyung. Happy Birthday.", she said.

"Umm, thank you? But what are you doing in my room?"

"I just wanted to greet you personally."

"Oh! So can we leave now? Everyone might be waiting for us."

"No one cares Tae. Everyone is busy dancing and drinking.", she siad. She was one of those girls in our company that loves to fangirl over me but never got a chance to come close because of my behaviour. I never entertained women.

"I guess my name is Taehyung, whatever you can leave now."

"But I didn't give you your gift Tae..hyung. I see, these days you don't behave rude with anyone. So I thought of such a gift that you would like and cherish all your life.", she spoke with an irritating smirk on her face.

She slowly came closer to me and I just stood there looking at her. She came close and stopped when there was just an inch or two gap between our faces.

"What you think you are doing?", I asked while making a disgusted face.

"I am giving you your gift.", she said and winked.

I was about to push her away when she quickly attached her lips on mine. I didn't expect this. I obviously didn't kiss her back as I sm sure about my feelings. I love Y/n. It all happened so sudden that I just froze and couldn't move, and that is when I heard the door open.

END OF TAEHYUNG'S POV

The door opened and the scene in front of my eyes left me broken, all over again.

I saw Taehyung wearing the sweater I gifted and an employee, from our company that I have seen before, kissing him.

I stood there in shock and Taehyung quickly pushed her away. I just looked at the both in utter shock, when that bitch spoke.

"Oh Y/n. It's nothing. It's just that, I was giving him a small birthday gift.", with that said she walked away with a sly smirk while bumping my shoulders on purpose.

I couldn't form a sentence. Sentence? Not even a single word came out of my mouth. I just stared at him with pain in my eyes. He looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Sweetheart I can explain. It was all so sudden that I didn't understand what to do. Trust me I didn't kiss her back. She was the one that kissed.", he said, looking all worried.

"You should have told me earlier that you don't feel anything for me. I would have understood. You didn't have to break me like this Taehyung. You should have just said once, and I would have never bothered you.", I said as tears rolled down my cheeks.

"You never were a bother to me Y/n. Trust me I really like you. What happened between me-"

"Just stop Taehyung. Just Stop! I should have known men like you are not trustworthy. How foolish of me to think that you won't break me like this when you already have been friends Jeon Jungkook. You always make friends that are your type, don't you? I should have known that this had to happen, sooner or later.", by now my eyes were all red and my lips were quivering.

"Trust me bab-", he was speaking but I cut him off.

"Don't baby me Taehyung, and forget that you ever had someone named Y/n in your life."

"Don't leave me Y/n, please.", he said in a very low tone with tears in his eyes.

"I don't want to see your face again Taehyung.", with that I walked away.

I could hear his sobs. I felt so betrayed. I felt my heart shatter into millions of pieces all over again. I thought I would be able to live a happy life after moving to South Korea, but I was utterly wrong. Oh how I wished Taehyung to run behind me and hug me tightly saying that it is me, just me and no one else.

I walked out of the house, avoiding everyone's gaze. I was crossing the street, there was no one around, when I felt two arms wrap around my waist and pull me in for a hug. I felt tears on my shoulders and I immediately knew who it was. I broke the hug and was about to walk away but he stopped me.

"Baby please. Listen to me for once.", he begged. His voice cracked as he was crying really bad. "Please sweetheart. It was all a mistake. I would never kiss any women that is not you. She kissed me, I didn't kiss back baby. I swear."

By now he was hugging me and placing soft kisses on my neck and collar bones. He knew how to calm me down. He knew what would make me weak. He didn't stop crying. I could clearly hear his sobs and whimpers, for his heart broke too I guess. I guessed he wasn't like Jungkook. Maybe, what he is saying is true. Maybe, all that I saw was what happened at the heat of the moment and he really didn't kiss her back. Maybe, he really likes me and he didn't have an intention of breaking my heart.

I looked up at him and saw his eyes were all red and tears rolled down his cheeks endlessly. I camled myself down and took long breathes before speaking. I was shaking by now. The pain in my chest was immense. This was my second time getting heart broken, that too by those two guys that were once the closest buddies of each other.

I wrap my arms around his neck and spoke, while looking deep into his eyes that held pain.

"I was broken Taehyung. Jungkook broke me once and that was literally a lot to take in for my fragile heart. I never expected you to break my heart. I really liked you Taehyung, and trust me I thought you liked me too, but-"

"I do baby. I really do. I do like you a lot. I am telling you right?! It was a mistake. I never wanted to do that and never would I do anything that would break your heart. Everything happened so sudden that I couldn't react. Trust me swee-"
