There is a very thin line between love and hate.

Taehyung:- Someone else?

Chanyeol:- Yes, Taehyung-ah. Even I don't know who that person is but he's the one who made me kil-

Taehyung:- STOP! STOP WITH YOUR COOKED UP STORY.

Chanyeol:- I'm not lying, It's true.

Taehyung:- So you're telling me that you killed Eomma and Appa just because someone asked you to? Do I look like a fool to you?

Chanyeol:- I-I had my r-reasons.

Taehyung:- Reasons? What reasons? Tell me. Tell me you jerk.

She couldn't stand the sight of both of them getting hurt.

She quickly went to Taehyung and stopped him from punching Chanyeol.

Y/n:- Oppa, Please say it. W-why did you-?

Chanyeol:- I can't, Y/n, I can't.

Taehyung:- Enough of this bullsh*t. Leave.

Chanyeol:- I'll explain everything to you once I find this perso-

Taehyung:- Don't lie through your teeth, You murderer.

Chanyeol:- I-I-I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me in the future. I'll leave.

He left with a heavy heart and teary eyes. This were the consequences of actions and he had no one but himself to blame.

On the other hand , Taehyung's mind was chaotic with all the memories that came flashing through. Those memories which were buried deep inside his mind.

Boy 1 :- Is this all? Give us some more, loser.

Boy 2 :- I think we're going too easy on him. Yaa, Do you need a beating?

Taehyung:- P-Please don't hurt me. T-this is a-all I-I have.

He begged them to leave him alone but their ears were deaf to his pleading and they kept on stomping until they heard a deep voice.

Chanyeol:- What do you guys think you are doing?

Boy 1 :- It's none of your business. Just go if you don't want to get hurt.

They continued to kick him.

Chanyeol:- Leave him alone.

Boy 2:- This punk! Are you picking a fight with us?

They were going to confront him but they were stopped hearing the bell ring.

Boy 1:- This isn't over yet. Don't think we'll leave you alone.

They went in the opposite direction after threatening Chanyeol but he didn't seem to care. He quickly went to Taehyung and enquired if he was okay.

Chanyeol:- Yaa. Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?

Taehyung:- N-No. I'm fine. T-thank you f-for-

Chanyeol:- This won't do. Hey, get on my back.

Taehyung:- W-what?

He took him to the infirmary carrying him on his back and he was given the first aid.

Chanyeol stayed through his side during the entire time when the nurses were treating him.

Chanyeol:- What's your name?

Taehyung:- It's Kim Taehyung. Yours?

Chanyeol:- Chanyeol. Park Chanyeol.

Chanyeol:-Why do you let them walk all over you?

Taehyung:- It's just- I don't want to get in trouble.

Chanyeol:- Do you think they will spare you if you stay still? Those bullies should be taught a lesson.

Taehyung:- I don't like getting in fights.

Chanyeol:- You prefer getting beaten up? What are you so afraid of? It's not like they'll kill you... Ah, Forget it. I have a class to attend. I'm going.

Taehyung:- I'm coming too.

Both of them went to their respective classes. After that incident, they grew close to each other.

Taehyung:- Chanyeol-ah, They're bothering me again.

Chanyeol:- Yaa, Do you think I'm your boyfriend or what? Just deal with them on your own.

Taehyung:- Please, Honey.

Chanyeol:- Stop it you idiot, People are staring.

Taehyung:- Then come with me, Yeol.

Chanyeol:- Aisshh, Just stop this, you jerk. I'm coming.

Days passed and their friendship grew stronger. Taehyung's parents also grew fond of Chanyeol. They always invited him for dinner.

Mrs Kim:- Eat more, Chanyeol. You're getting thinner day by day.

He just smiled at that.

Mr Kim:- Chanyeol-ah, Why didn't you bring your sisters along?

Chanyeol:- I'll definitely bring them next time, Abeoji.

How about you both coming to my house next week? It's always me crashing here.

Taehyung:- Just them? You're not inviting me? I'm hurt Yeol-ah.

Mrs. Kim:- Don't kid around. Taehyung-ah.

We'll definitely come.

Chanyeol:- Come in Abeoji, Eommeoni.

Mrs. Kim:- You have a nice house, Chanyeol.

Chanyeol:- Please sit, both of you.

Taehyung:- You don't want me to sit?

Chanyeol gritted his teeth in annoyance.

Eun Bin and Y/n came down the stairs and greeted them.

Chanyeol:- My sisters. This is Eun Bin and Y/n.

Mrs. Kim:- Both of you are so pretty? Your parents?

Chanyeol:- T-they left us.

Taehyung sensed his uneasiness and decided to change the topic. He talked about random things just to lift his mood. That's when Eun Bin caught his attention. Their eyes met for the first time and at that moment he felt the world around him halt.

As for Eun Bin, It was the same too. Soon they began dating behind Chanyeol's back. Both of them regretted keeping Chanyeol in the dark and they decided to confront him.

Surprisingly, Chanyeol was supportive of their relationship and didn't meddle in it unnecessarily.

Taehyung's relationship with Y/n also progressed well. Whenever he had a fight with Eun Bin, she was the first person he would approach.

Taehyung:- Y/niee, I messed up again. Eun Bin is mad at me.

Y/n:- What is it now, Tae?

Taehyung:- Y/n-ah , Help me. How should I make it up to her?

Y/n:- Hmm, let me think.

Taehyung:- Yaa just hurry up.

Y/n :- I'm trying to help you and you're being ungrateful?

Taehyung:- Sorry, Sorry.

Y/n:- Unnie likes travelling. Take her somewhere nice, I guess that will do.

Taehyung:- You're a lifesaver, Y/n.

He hugged her.

Y/n:- I'm good at relationship advices yet I'm single.

Taehyung:- Yaa, You can't date now. You're in high school. You can date after you're grown up.

He said, patting her head gently.

He was getting lost in his lingering memories and was soon interrupted by her voice.

Y/n:- Tae.. Aren't you sleeping?

Taehyung:- Why do you care if I sleep or not? Just leave me alone.

Y/n:- I'm sorry. It's just I was scared and I-

Taehyung:- Leave. I need to sleep.

She just nodded and went back to her room. She laid on her bed and wondered where her life went wrong.

I know you're in somewhere there Tae. I promise to bring the old you back. Just hang in there for a bit.
