NEXT DAY
Whitney is in library. She's selecting books to read when Perry bumps into her from behind.
"Hey!" Whitney exclaims, she was expecting something like this to happen because Perry spends most of her time here. Specially when her best friend is with the gang.
"Hmm... What are YOU doing here??" Perry asks surprisingly, keeping her voice low. It's a genuine surprise.
"Can't you see, I'm studying" Whitney replies tilting her head up in pride to the fact that she's doing something productive for once. Her smirk and raised eyebrows shows obvious signs of confidence.
"Study and you? Perry states as if these two words can't possibly be used in one sentence."Right right".Perry continues Study on how to trap rich guys and how to attract assh*les". Perry says reading her through.
Perry since the beginning of their friendship kept trying to keep her away from bad influences and materialistic things but she failed. She cares for her and wants her to stay out of these stupid things and study for real and fulfil her mom's dream. Sadly, over the years she saw her becoming complete opposite of it and also have to hide her college life from her mom as well.
"Shhh... What's wrong with you?" Whitney says in a serious tone. She seems hurt as she wasnt expecting her to say something like that.
"I saw you there"
"where?"
"you guys were making joke of that guy"
"are you talking about that guy."
"yes"
"Ohh your Prince charming" Whitney tries to joke again to check what Perry have to say.
"I'm not kidding wits"
"OK sorry who?"
"Kim Taehyung"
"Ohh that one that Kim... Something" Whitney wasn't expecting his name.
"You shouldn't welcome someone like that... you guys were laughing behind him"
"So what? isn't it normal? Lucas bullying poor guys" She shrugs.
"It's not cool Whitney, why are you with them, at all?"
"Wait a min... you arguing with me for that glasses?" She says while laughing shockingly.
"Whitneyyy" she demands.
"okay okay whatever his name is, I.don't.care and yes it's just casual ragging. It's a part of college life." she explains, there's still no guilt in her voice.
"Yes and you are the gangsta" She says shaking her head.
"What's your problem?"
"My problem is Lucas, he is not good for you, you are turning into them day by day. You were not like this"
"I'm Wits not some poor little girl, can you see this" she points his hands towards her body, "I made this, I made my figure like this not for being a good girl who obey orders. okay? I wanna live my life however I like to and yes if you think I'm studying on how to attract guys then yes it's true, I'm doing this because I know I'm worth it. Do you know why Lucas roams around me instead of other girls? Because of this "she again points at her figure.
"Exactly, you are right... and that IS actually what you are worth. You are a show piece. You turned yourself into a toy so that you can attract guys and let them play with you but remember, soon they'll throw you away and find a new one 'cause trends keeps changing, Whitney." Perry completes her words and leaves. It hurts her to say such words but she tries her best to make her understand her actual worth.
Whitney keeps the book in his hand making a loud sound and leaves the library, she enters in the class where they are bullying another girl, she goes to them and stands besides that girl. She takes the coffee cup from becky's hand and pour out the coffee on her head. She starts crying... Whitney pushes her back, Lucas holds her hand who's standing next to her.
"ohhh someone is angry" sadie pinches her.
"It could've been you too sadie" She says looking at the girl they were bullying.
"sadie please..." Lucas says.
Whitney sighs. She hits her shoulder and leaves the class, Lucas follows her.
"Wits!"
She stops.
"what's wrong?"
"nothing"
"something happen? Right?" She nods.
"Ohhh!! Girl, tell me who made you upset?"
"Will you leave you me as soon you done with me?" Whitney asks not making an eye contact.
"hey, who told you that, baby?" He turns her head facing his.
"answer me" She says making eye contact.
"No babes, of course not, never, I love you doll."
"don't call me doll" She says coldly remembering Perry's words.
"why? You like when I call you that, no?"
"no, I said no" Her voice still upset.
"fine, fine relax, hey I have a good news for you"
"what?"
"we planned to gather at beach slash restaurant, it's newly open in our location"
"I don't know, I'm not in a mood"
"Babes, you are coming and I'm gonna pick you from your home OK!"
"Lucas" She fights.
"No excuses, you are coming tomorrow and that's final"
"evening?"
"yepp"
"huh.. may be"
"yes you are in"
he holds her hand and they walk away.
AFTER COLLEGE...
Kim Taehyung walking back home. He's looking down. Drowned in deep thoughts. Walking slowly. He hears a girl voice calling out a boy. He stops as she passes by him and hugs her boyfriend. He sighs, remembering the time he was in the boyfriend's place. He smirks and fists his palm.
"huh, fake." he says that and start moving.
Soon he reaches his house.
His house looks like an abandoned property. He opens the door with a key.
As he enters inside, the little sun rays behind the trees enters with him. He walks slowly. His foot steps are loud and clear. One by one, he turns on the lights in hall. Inside of his house, looks old styled with royal touches.
He throws his bag on sofa and stands in front of a room by the stairs. It's locked. He reaches for keys in his pocket but then stops. Then he goes upstairs and into his room. He opens his shirt button. He moves his wet fingers through his hairs to disturb his perfectly combed hair.
After staring at the mirror for 5 minutes he removes the specs as he whispers to himself. "Hello, V." and keeps them on his bathroom sink. He removes his grey lens and looks into his deep brown eyes. He washes his face.
There's a sharpness in his soft eyes and there's a sudden change in his face muscles. They are more relaxed and natural. He smirks and lets out a breath of success. Another successful day without anyone noticing him.
The water drops travels down from his perfectly shaped body. After drying his face from nearby towel, he wears loose white t-shirt and lies on the bed.
His room is clean. There's a poster on a wall above the Tv. It's the poster of the alphabet 'V'. The room is small and looks in a serious need of renovation. There is a marble floor with square inside a square design of cream and brown colour. The room is in a combination of cream and brown colour, with cream paint on the wall and brown furniture and window. The backyard can be seen from the window which is in the opposite direction from door and on the right side of his bed. The sink is on the left side of the bed which have lotions and lenses kept neatly on the surface of the sink followed by the bathroom which is also quite small.
He turns on the tv which is placed next to the door on a small table with 4 drawers. The tv is the old one as well. Next to it is a wooden cupboard. He picks up his phone from the white pillow kept on white sheets.
He lets out a smile.
HE'S READY.
