Playground

The Misfortunates with Nam Taehyun

Seungyoon bow to his teacher and wave at his classmates as he left the classroom.  He spotted his friend and rushes over to him.

“Taehyun~”

Taehyun was putting his books in his locker. He looks away and narrows his eyes at Seungyoon as he was getting closer. "No."

Seungyoon halts and stomps his feet. “You didn’t know what I was going to say!”

“The way you called out to me gave it away. Whatever you are going to ask me I’m not going to like it anyway and it will always be no.”

“Watch Jiah, please.” Seungyoon voice squeaks at the end when Taehyun slams the locker door very loudly.

“I’m not a babysitter. Have someone else like Mino to do it.” Taehyun mutters.

Seungyoon reaches to his pocket and takes out his cellphone. “Well, I don’t want to do this but you leave me no choice.”

Taehyun was watching Seungyoon in curiously.  The way he was grinning and pressing on the cellphone was irking Taehyun. “What are you doing?”

“I’m going to mass message this and put this on the school’s website.” Seungyoon shows Taehyun his cellphone and instantly Taehyun’s face turned red at the video being played.

Just another boy! Just another boy! Just another boy! Boy!-

“JUST ANOTHER BOY!” Seungyoon rips open the shower curtains and bursts out laughing. “GUYS CHECK THIS OUT!”

“WHAT THE F@#$” Taehyun hid himself in the bubbles and was flaring with anger.

“Here we have our Taehyun singing in a bubble bath. Isn’t he cute?-“

“GET OUT!!!!!!”

“Delete that now.” Taehyun gritted as he went to snatch the phone but Seungyoon was quicker to pull it away.

“Not unless you do what I asked you to.” Seungyoon grins, waving the cellphone in his face.

Taehyun let out a growl as he spun away from Seungyoon. "Fine." 

Seungyoon smiles in victory as he watches Taehyun exits the building. "I wonder what his reaction will be if I show him this." He chuckles, glancing at the photo he sneakily took of Taehyun and Jiah.

"Maybe this should be my next bait."

 

Taehyun saw Jiah skip over to the gates. He rolls his eyes and let out a growl. Unfortunately he had to go after her and go home together.

He heads towards her but stops when JB appeared. Jiah seem to boast her happiness up a level. Taehyun watched as the two talked for a bit before going somewhere together. 

So does he go home or follow?

He follows only because of Seungyoon.

JB brought Jiah to this place call playground. Taehyun looks up at the sign. "Playground? Really?" He goes in after them. A girl lead them into this secret passage way which lead to an underground entertainment center of basketball, arcade, food court and many more.

He heard Jiah's loud voice of how awesome the place was. Taehyun would have actually barf because this place was so hideous for him.

Taehyun made sure he stayed hidden so Jiah wouldn't notice so he placed his beanie on his head and wore sunglasses.

He found a seat at the lounge area. It was close to where JB and Jiah were sitting.

In this moment Taehyun knew he would dread this day because it feels like he was being a clingy guy.

he hated this. He hated Seungyoon. He hated everything at this moment.

Suddenly every girl in this room was screaming. Taehyun looks around him and saw a group of guys coming from the entrance.

"GOT7 IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!"  Jackson did a back flip that stirred the crowd even more. He smirks and does another one but ends up yelping in pain. "My foot!"

Taehyun roll his eyes. “just great another version of Mino but dumber."

"JB! You ditched us! Explain yourself!" Jackson hops towards JB and Jiah with a frown.

"Can't you see he's on a date with his girl?" Jr. slid his arm across Jackson's shoulders. "How do you like playground Jiah?"

"It's really cool! And fun!" She's smiles. "Thanks for taking me here, JB ." She flashes another smile at him. JB shyly smiles back and scratches the back of his neck. "It's no problem.....but you really want to see something cooler?" His smile turn into smirk.

"Annnnnnnd this is our cue right?" Jackson asks. Jr. pulls him away. "Always."

Jiah watches JB curiously. “what do you mean" JB was walking backwards not taking his eyes off her.  When he reaches the center of the dance floor he stops. “This one is for you."

His arm stretches up in the air and he snaps his fingers.

An upbeat electronic music started playing and the people who we're hanging out shouted and cheered as they surrounded JB and his friends.

Jiah was unaware of the situation and stood up from her seat. She then became awe when JB and his friends started to dance and sing.

Noooooo way JB can sing AND dance?!?? Is what went through her head.

She tried hard not to collapse when JB points at her then rotated his hips. The next moves ended her off into a mist of light that has been shot throughout the entire galaxy. JB stood in a hugging position in front of her and did body wave.

Someone call the hot patrol because JB is wanted.

the song ended a result of invisible nose bleeds especially from Jiah. She was clapping very loudly as she jumps with the crowd.

JB slap fives with his friends and the crowd. He made his way over to Jiah and flashes her his million dollar smile. "So how cool was that?"

Jiah gives him thumbs up. "Super cool.....no waaaay beyond cooler!"

JB laughs at her reaction. "Okay, I'll accept that."

"You really have a beautiful voice, Jaebum. Ur, I mean JB sorry." Jiah laughs quickly covering up her mistake. 

"You can call me Jaebum." He beams.

"I mean I always call you JB we'll everyone calls you JB-

"how about I said I rather prefer you to call me jaebum?"

Jiah's eyes shifted to the ground, "ummm

"It'll be our little secret." He put a finger to his lips and smiles.

 

"What did I watch?" Taehyun felt like gagging from JB's performance. "An air head like her would be into that." This was everyone in this room excluding him. He taps his fingers on the table, feeling his life was being out of him in this boring atmosphere. He heard a loud roar of engine coming from the side of him. It was a car game.

Taehyun glances over to JB and Jiah. They were talking and laughing away. He then looks over to the car game again. He needed to keep himself occupied and Jiah was in sight sooooooo why not? Taehyun goes over to one of the empty car games and seated himself in the driver’s seat.

He started the race off in last place but finished in 3rd. "Yes!" He shouts, making a fist in midair. Realizing the action he just did he cleared his throat and started another race.

"You're pretty good at this. Can I use this machine?"

"Sure." Taehyun mumbles with shrug.

"Cool! I haven't played these even since I was in middle school."

Taehyun narrow his eyes at the person next to him and he almost choked on air. Jiah! What the heck.

Jiah was the one that took the seat next to him AND was talking to him!

"Which one is to make the car move?" She asks.

Taehyun panics. Why in all people she is talking to me?  He covers up quickly and speaks in a high pitch voice. "The pedal on the right."

Jiah pushes her foot on the right pedal and shifts the wheel. "Thanks!" She chirps.

It was quiet for a bit before Jiah spoke to herself. "Ahhhh I was supposed to do this with Mino....actually it would be nice to come here with everyone even droopy brows." She moped.

Taehyun watches her from the side before returning his attention to the screen. Is that how she named me? 

"Hey, have we met before? You look familiar. Maybe we go to the same school?"

"N-No! I never had seen you." Taehyun replies quickly

"Oh...must be me then."

"Having fun?" JB appears behind her and leans forward on the seat. "4th place...not bad." He grins.

"They say I'm the queen of car racing."

"Oh? Really?" JB chuckles.

Taehyun couldn't help but roll his eyes. An Airhead Queen that is....

"Hold a on second." Jiah reaches into her pockets for her cellphone. She yelps as she jolts up from the seat. "I have to go home. It's already night!"

"I'll take you home." JB leads her though the crowd and exited the place.

Taehyun quickly chases after them. "Shoot. We're supposed to get there together so Seungyoon knows I was with her."

After jumping behind from object to object so he wouldn't be spotted, Taehyun learned that Jiah practically has a crush on JB. From the fumbling words and the bashful actions she displayed. Those actions wouldn’t fool anyone. Did JB notice? Does he know?

Finally they arrive in front of the apartment. JB had his hands in his pockets and was looking around. "So....-"

"Thank you again. I really enjoyed my time there."

JB softly smiles down at her. "I did too."

Jiah shyly gazes up at him. Her breath hitches when JB leans in close. She squeezes her eyes shut and all in one moment there was this alarming sound. Jiah open her eyes and saw a car flashing lights. "Why is that car going off?"

"I'm not sure but you get in fast before the owner comes and thinks we're one of the culprits." JB gives her a quick hug and peck in the cheeks before hurrying off. "Sweet dreams, Jiah." He hollers.

BOOM DIBIBIBIBIBIBI

Jiah jumps in the air as she entered the elevator. She squeals and couldn't help but smile widely. "This isn't a dream this isn't a dream?!?!" She pinches her arm. "Ow.....this is REAL!!"

A hand jolts between the closing doors.

"Eh Taehyun?"

Taehyun stood in the corner. "What?" 

"I just thought you would be home already." 

"I also have a life."

Jiah narrow her eyes at him. "Grumpy." She mumbles to herself.

"You know in this confined space I'm bound to hear everything you say." Taehyun spoke in a monotone without looking at her.

The elevator doors open and Jiah rushes out. "Well we're here!"

Taehyun shook his head, following after her. He stares at her back and drops his gaze to the floor. Something. Something is bothering him and it's annoying that he can't figure it out.

 

It was late at night and Taehyun was in the living room watching a drama where the girl is madly in love with her best friend who turns out to have a snotty girlfriend. He was a prick because he chose that snotty girl over the girl who knew him best.

Taehyun picks up the remote and changes the channel. Nothing with love please. He stops at a channel that shows pair of dogs that were talking.

"I have to go back to my owner."

"No, please stay with me I love-" Taehyun shuts the tv and went back inside the room. Even dogs fall in love. 

Taehyun walks over to the lamp to close it but his eyes drifts to Jiah's form. Her foot and arm was sticking off the bed. She was practically looking like a starfish. Taehyun did an unexpected action and places back her foot and arm in place. His gaze lands on her face which rather looked peaceful and calming. He couldn't help but brush her bangs off her delicate forehead. Realizing what he did he furrows his brows and turns away quickly, shutting off the lamp and getting into his bed.

According to his rapidly thumping heart that weird feeling is starting to bother him again.
