《rumor || k.th (no longer updating!)》Chapter 6
Advertisement
I entered my Chemistry class and all that consumed my mind was the sound I heard last night.
I still had my hoodie and my mask on. I wear it everywhere I go for privacy reasons, even if a lot of people already know that it's me.
Once again, a felt a pair of eyes stare at me every second.
I couldn't concentrate properly and focus on the topic we were learning. I felt insecure, conscious and frightened. I feared of what could happen to me. Who was stalking me? Who was taking pictures of me last night? Are they here?
The bell rang and I hurriedly ran towards the door until someone gripped my arm.
"Amber Collins." A mysterious woman spoke. I turned around to face her but scared me with her death glare.
"Stay away from Taehyung." She threatened me. "..because only I can be with him." She tightened her grip, frightening me.
"In fact, Taehyung held my hands once. It was rumored Taehyung liked me. Hun, he's mine, you're just a lonely bimbo who needs attention." She smirked and chuckled evilly. My eyes widened and I froze.
"Stay away from him, or I will ruin your life."
She walked away and I was left frozen, processing what just happened.
As she was about to leave, she stopped and turned around, glaring at me. "Oh and by the way.." she said, holding my hand. "The name's Mia Jacobs." She smiled innocently like nothing else happened.
She is mental.
"Oh, hun, don't be shy. Trust me, once you let go of Taehyung we'll be best friends, okay sweetheart?" She smirked and finally walked away.

Lance and I quietly sat together while eating our food until he decided to break it. "H-Have you, seen the news?" He stammered. I shook my head and continued eating my nachos. He quickly clasped his phone and showed me the video.

"Welcome back to Very Compelling News, I am your newscaster for today, Micheal Roberts. Today we recently found Ms. Amber Collins, famously-known as Kim Taehyung's girlfriend in the Scrumptious Food Market in Chicago. We interviewed her today but she unfortunately ran away."
"What does it feel like to be Kim Taehyung's girlfriend?"
....
*laughing sound effects edited in*
"Well, it seems like Ms. Amber Collins is still not ready to show his love for Mr. Kim Taehyung."
Then.. the video ended right there.
"You know.. *crunch* you should just tell everybody the truth. *crunch*" He said while chewing his cookies.
"I don't think that'll be an easy task, Lance."
"I mean, if you still keep it a secret or a rumor then you'll definitely have more than just "Oh my Godd, you're V's GF let's talk a pic!"." He said while trying to imitate a typical fangirl.
"Instead, you'll have sasaengs all over your house, y'know. Threats, stalke-" He added, though I interrupted him.
"That's exactly what's happening to me right now, Lance."
"Wait what the love for cactus?!" He raised his eyes and widened his eyes. He tried to speak but just said a few uhh's and umm's.
"Speak up."
"YOU WHAT?!" He shouted making everyone in the cafeteria turn to our direction.
"What the- Lance, shut!" I loudly whispered to him, embarrassed.
"You're being stalked?!"
"Yes, and threatened!"
"Hold on." He fixed his face and removed all the crumbs on his t-shirt. He turned to face me with a serious face. "You're not kidding are you?"
I punched his shoulder gently and sniggered. "Are you deaf or something?"
"No, no! I'm just awfully horrified!"
"Who's threatening you? Do you know the name?" He added, sounding really frightened.

"As far as I can recall, her name is Mia Jacobs.."
His jaw dropped and a small yelp escaped his lips. "Mia. Fricking. Jacobs."
"Who is she?" I started shaking.
"Best photographer in our school, best at doing criminal acts, has literally the greatest camera in our school, she's excellent in hiding that you can't even see an inch of her and.."
I scoffed. Show-off. "And?" I raised one eyebrow.
"Will do any kinds of evil shit to get her crush."
"Right. I can handle that." Not.
Lance nervously laughed. He was gasping for air several times like he couldn't breathe or somethin', then he looked at me with a nervous grin and twitched eyebrows.
"She trapped her brother in the basement once because he didn't give her a gray Porsche for her birthday!" He said, serious while emphasizing his 'not'.
As you know, (well, maybe not) but Lance has claustrophobia, the fear of getting trapped or having no escape.
"Oh."
He slapped my hand and glared at my with narrowed eyes. "What do you mean "Oh"?!"
I was about to tell him a comeback then my phone vibrated. I checked it and found out Taehyung just texted me.
"Hi, noona! I'm having a vacation to Chicago for a while. I hope I can get an opportunity to see you!! 💜 - V"
I smiled and before I replied, Lance spoke.
"You are so doomed to Jacobs."
I cursed under my breath and remembered Mia's threat.
"Right." I smiled sweetly at Lance, giving him an innocent look.
I was horrified.
