part 9

6:27pm

Days had passed and you and Taehyung gotten much closer than before. You had gotten closer to all the seven boys at once but you relatively spent more time with Taehyung since he insisted. He used his bodyguard status as an excuse to stay with you at all times and to your surprise, you didn't really have a problem with it. It was fun talking with him and you two had some things in common which only increased the fun and pleasure of having him around. Nighttime had fell and you suddenly walked into the living room filled with the seven boys who had serious looks on their faces. They all turned their heads toward you which caused you to stop in your tracks. "Sorry, am I interrupting something?" You asked. Looking over, you saw Namjoon shake his head and gesture you over to their group circle. "Actually," he exclaimed. "We were just about to call you over." You blinked and looked down on the coffee table; papers and maps were scattered all over with pen marker marks scribble across the sheets. "What's all of this?" You asked. "There's going to be another attack happening tonight, so we're all going to be gone." He replied which caused you to frown. Just as you assumed you'd be bored to death by yourself, Namjoon continued to speak, "Taehyung will be staying here with you in case something happens while we're away." You tried to fight back your own smile and nodded as your response which led Namjoon's head to turn back toward the maps and sketches on the table. "Does everyone understand the plan?" Namjoon asked and everyone else nodded, their serious expressions almost catching you off guard. "Great, we leave in ten." As Namjoon spoke his last words, everyone stood up and scattered all around the house. You had always wondered what their missions were like and you even wished to go on one with them but you knew better than to be reckless and ruin their plans. As bored as you'd be in the cabin by yourself, you knew that the seven boys would be fine with our without you with them. The six boys gathered their belongings to leave and you and Taehyung bid them farewell and good luck as they all walked out the door and drove off in a van. Once Taehyung had closed the door, the cabin felt a little emptier. It made you feel lonely, until Taehyung spoke up. "Time to have some fun!" He grinned.

8:15pm

"Hahaha!" You laughed as you through your head back against the mattress. You heard Taehyung's deep giggles blend into your laughter which filled your room up with much happiness and joy. Here you two were, telling each other stupid stories about one another and yet time had flew by way too quickly. "Oh my god, you've got to be kidding me!" You scoffed with a lingered smile but Taehyung only shakes his head firmly. "I'm serious!" He replied. "I was one of those kids who'd steal honey from honey bees, okay! There's nothing wrong with that!" You couldn't help but laugh again which cause Taehyung to smile wide. "I hope the bees stung you senseless," you snorted. Taehyung frowned playfully and crossed his arms over his chest. "For a matter of fact, they did." He sighed and pout. "Fuck you for being right." You laughed again which made Taehyung stare directly at you while you weren't looking. Taehyung reached over to grab himself the bottle of wine that lonely sat on the desk without being touched ever since he grabbed it earlier, as well as two wine glasses. He twisted the cap open and poured the red liquid into each cup. "You drink?" You asked him but Taehyung shrugged. "Not really," He replied and gave one of the cups to you. "Do you?" You grabbed the cup and shook your head. Taehyung smiled and swirled the wine inside the cup around to mix the beverage all together again. "Well, this will be a first for both of us then." He lifted his cup toward you and both of your glasses gently crashed against one another, creating a light 'clink' sound. "Cheers," He said before taking a sip of the wine, hissing afterwards on how the beverage stung as it flowed down his throat. You lifted your cup to take a sip as well, cringing at the new taste that you didn't know about until now. You could already feel your face burn hot as you consumed another sip, quickly putting the cup down and letting out a cough. "That was," You croaked. "Interesting." Taehyung laughed and took another sip of his wine, placing the cup on the floor to avoid taking anymore sips. "Yeah, that was my reaction when I first tasted alcohol." Taehyung sighed and looked up to you, staring at you with such intensity that it made you ecstatic. "Enough about me, though. I want to hear more about you." He exclaimed which made you smile. You lifted up a pillow to hug to your chest, staring right back at him. You didn't want to look away from him. "What would you like to hear?" You asked. Taehyung clicked his tongue as he leaned back on his hands, continuing to stare at you. "Why haven't you had a boyfriend?" He asked which caused you to chuckle. "That question again?" You asked and Taehyung nodded. "Yeah, I've been curious since our last conversation." He said and you two both laughed, experiencing the deja vu moment all over again. Answering his question, you shrugged. "I don't know. I guess there just hasn't been a guy who caught my attention," you said as you took another sip of the wine. You were growing used to the burning sensation of the alcohol and didn't mind how hot you were getting. You knew when to stop but you were too focused on Taehyung to notice. You saw how he smiled sweetly at you and how he looked at you with such gaze that you couldn't figure out, but you didn't mind. "What does a guy have to do to get your attention?" Taehyung asked as he watched you set your glass back down. He took the opportunity to grab your glass, discarding his own resting on the floor, and took a sip before setting it back down where you placed it. You shrugged, "He just has to be genuine with me. All of the men that I've met through my father always thought of me as the prize and not as a person. They acted as if they wanted me when they really just wanted the money." You rested your chin on your palm and saw Taehyung's smile turn into a frown. His dull expression made your stomach drop and anxiety fill your mind; maybe you had said something that offended him, you thought. "That's shitty," he said. "Completely shit. You're so much more than that— you're a girl who deserves to feel love and feel real love with someone. Those guys don't know how to love a girl." He complained and scoffed. "I could love you so much better than them!" He blurted out. It took him a moment before he realized what he said, feeling his face becoming hotter than it originally was with the alcohol. He looked over to you, who's eyes were wide with surprise. Taehyung quickly looked away, now avoiding eye contact with you as his cheeks were flushed pink— both from the alcohol and embarrassment. You couldn't help but bite your lip to conceal the smile that wanted to spring out yet you sighed. "Do you really think so?" You whispered but you could tell that Taehyung heard you. He looked back over to you and slowly nodded. "Yeah, I do." The smile you were trying to hide finally popped out but you buried your face into the pillow you were holding. You didn't know why but you were feeling completely euphoric. Your heart was beating uncontrollably and your stomach was doing flips all around inside of your body that you couldn't help but let out a tiny giggle. Taehyung watched you and smiled when you popped your head up to meet his eyes. Suddenly, you both heard the front door slam open and multiple footsteps running into the cabin. You thought that the others were back from their mission but your eyebrows furrowed in confusion when you heard an unfamiliar voice yell, "Find them!" As you were about to speak Taehyung quickly grabbed you and dragged you off the bed and into the closet inside of the room. Taehyung quickly shut the closet door and pressed himself against you inside the tiny, dark room. "What-" You began to speak but Taehyung quickly cut you off, shushing you as you both heard footsteps all around the cabin. "You need to stay quiet," Taehyung softly whispered which caused you to shudder. You both heard doors behind slammed open and more yelling from multiple voices you didn't recognize. You knew you had to stay quiet but you couldn't help the anxiety growing within you— you understood the situation very well. Taehyung noticed that you began to shake and your breathes became heavier. "Y/n," he grabbed your shoulders which caused you to flinch. "It's going to be okay. Nothing bad is going to happen to you." You heard him speak but your mind was still clouded at the thought of whoever went after your parents were probably after you too. What if they knew you weren't dead, you thought. As your mind was continuously clouded with doubts and fright, Taehyung cupped your face to make you look at him. He saw your eyes water as tears threatened to spill out and the look on your face expressed nothing but fear. "Shit," Taehyung mumbled before doing the unexpected; he pressed his lips against yours, feeling your own breath hitch and turn quiet. You froze in your place but when you heard the footsteps growing closer, you tried pulling away. However, Taehyung held the back of your head to deepen his kiss upon you. Maybe it was due to the alcohol you both drank but you began to move your lips against his, suddenly yearning for his touch and him. "Mm," Taehyung moaned into your sweet lips that he found were addicting once he tasted your candy-like flavor. He just couldn't help enough of you but he slowly pulled away. You stared up at him, finally able to see him through the darkness and no longer caring to hear the footsteps that lingered into the room. The only thing you could hear was how loud your heart was pounding inside of your chest and you'd hoped that Taehyung wouldn't be able to hear how fast it was. "Can..." you whispered. "Can you do that again?" Taehyung nodded before kissing you again with you gladly kissing him back, latching onto him to never stop kissing you. You felt so weird and fluttery that it almost made you think it was the alcohol, but it wasn't. That feeling was all from you. Taehyung slowly pulled away only to peck your lips once more, making you smile through the serious situation. Taehyung smiled along with you but frowned upon hearing bullets being shot and grunts being heard from the outside. He pulled you close to him as you buried your face in his neck, feeling him hold you close to touch bodies with one another. The bullets suddenly stopped and a voice called out, "Taehyung! Where are you guys?" Taehyung sighed in relief and slowly let you go, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead to let you know you were safe. He opened the door and saw Jimin and Hoseok in the room with two dead bodies on the ground. Taehyung held your hand and walked out of the closet, catching the eye of the two boys who supposedly killed the two dead men on the floor. "Are you guys alright?" Jimin asked and you felt Taehyung grip your hand, feeling that warm bubbly-ness swimming through you all over again. "Yeah," Taehyung smiled to you before looking back to the two others. "We're okay."

10:04pm

After the incident that happened earlier, you were terrified to be alone. The two dead men from earlier were still present in your room so Taehyung offered for you to sleep in his room with him. The six boys had came just in time before the two men had found you and there had been one that escaped, according to Yoongi who saw someone run off. You sat on Taehyung's bed and rested your face against your arms, waiting for Taehyung to come back into the room. Your eyes were tired and your body was hot due to the alcohol earlier but you were thinking you were blaming the alcohol too much at this point. You were too much in a daze that you didn't realize Taehyung had walked in and closed the door, sitting on the bed and caressing your cheek. "You should get some rest." He said. "And what about you?" You asked which caused Taehyung to smile. "I'm here for you, always." He replied and opened the blanket for you to lie down inside. You crawled into the blanket and rested your head against the pillow that filled your nose up with Taehyung's flowery scent. You pulled his hand to have him lie down with you and he didn't complain; he lied down next to you and rested his arm out for you to use as a head rest instead of his pillow. You snuggled up closer to him and closed your eyes, sighing into his neck. "What are we doing?" You whispered. "We're sleeping, Princess. Nothing more." Taehyung joked which caused you to laugh, but part of you wanted another answer. "That's not what I meant, and you know that." You said and felt his chest vibrate under your ear when he chuckled. "We'll talk in the morning, Princess." He turned to kiss your forehead as you already found yourself asleep. "Goodnight."
