Chapter 23

Taehee's POV

Time seemed like it was going slower each second and the sound of our breathing mixed as we stared into each other's eyes.

He hitched a breath as he rested his forehead on top of mine. One of his hands made it's way up to my face before cupping it gently while the other squeezed my hand gently. His fingertips caressed my cheek as my cheeks went from pale to a deep red.

"Taehee, you're mine." He whispered, his warm eyes began melting me.

Our eyes didn't break contact and before I even realised, I was leaning in to meet his lips in the middle.

The two of our faces were so close that I could feel his hot breath tickling my skin.

I slowly closed my eyes as our lips were less than a cm away from each other. He was so close that I could take scent of his sweet smelling cologne. It was bliss and reciting that this was even happening.

His lips were inching closer and closer. I leaned in closer to speed up the process. It was finally time.

"Taehee!"

My eyes opened and I shot up from my bed to be greeted by the familiar blinding lights and infamous face.

"Taehyung? What's wrong?" I asked, irritation laced in my voice. Taehyung smirked and poked my face with his finger. "Who were you dreaming about? You couldn't stop smiling." His teasing tone made my face go all red.

I pushed his hand away. "I wasn't dreaming about anyone!" Taehyung raised an eyebrow before shrugging. "Sure whatever you say."

Without a second thought, I threw my pillow at his face and hopped out of bed. It was still pretty dark outside and school started later in the afternoon since we had the first three periods off.

Knowing that he wanted something made me sigh deeply.

"Why did you wake me up?" I asked in a monotone voice. His lips tugged into a giant grin and I noticed he was already in some casual clothes; ripped jeans, a white shirt and black jacket.

Taehyung didn't answer my question and just pulled me out of bed. No let me rephrase that, he literally pulled my legs out of bed and let me fall on the floor.

I glared at him, "yah you punk!"

He once again didn't speak and threw clothes onto my head. "Be ready in 10." And with that he left my room. I took a look at the clothes he gave me (outfit on top) and groaned.

How the heck is he always able to choose me nice clothes?

I got ready and applied little to no makeup. All these chemicals were making my skin irritated and I was getting acne.

When I got downstairs I noticed instantly Jimin was gone. Taehyung and Jungkook were both in the lounge room, Jungkook throwing popcorn into the air and Taehyung attempting to catch it with his mouth. There was popcorn scattered on the floor and I knew I was going to be the one to clean it up.

"Yah Taehyung are we leaving?" Taehyung looked up and nodded. As he got up his phone began ringing and he excused himself to pick up the phone quickly.

Jungkook turned over to me and grinned. "Noona you look nice today." He complimented, giving me two thumbs up. I took this opportunity to tease him a little, to pass time. "Jungkook are you saying that I usually look bad?"

His eyes widened and he became flustered, tumbling over his own words and speaking too quickly to be understood.

I chuckled light heartedly and he seemed to get the message that I was only joking around. He sighed in relief and began his endless whines on how I was being mean to him. 

Taehyung came back outside and pulled on a pair of timberlands. I guess Jungkook was staying home to study English and Maths.

When we got outside it was nice and sunny. Not too hot and not too cold.

"Hey Taehyung where are we going?" We were waiting at the bus stop. I for one didn't want to go on the bus since I didn't feel like getting bombarded by his fangirls. But him being stubborn as every, threw a fit in the middle of the street and I agreed reluctantly. I was feeling quite annoyed and ticked off.

"To go get Jimin a birthday present!" He exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air which bought us some strange and suspicious looks from people. I sighed got on the bus as it arrived.

I took a seat at the back by the window. Taehyung took a seat next to me and immediately went onto his phone.

A few bus stops in, my contact lens were annoying the heck out of me so I took them off and put my glasses on.

The bus wasn't too crowded which was to my liking.

"Jimin ah let's sit at the back!" A girl exclaimed as she got onto the bus. What a coincidence another person named Jimin. They took the seat opposite us and the bus took off.

I must say, the other passengers were probably angry and tired of that girl. She kept laughing loudly and practically speaking so loud that people in Daegu could hear her. Taehyung had his ear phones plugged in so he didn't have a problem with her but being the forgetfully person I was, forgot my earphones in my school bag.

I tried coping with it but I would find myself just getting more stressed out. I was praying that we were close to our destination.

"Yah Jimin give me your SnapBack."

So this Jimin likes snap backs too.

"Geez sometimes I wonder how you're in your final year of high school."

Wow he's the same age as Jimin as well.

"Your birthday is soon! Let's buy a lot of things and eat okay?"

The coincidences are just building up.

"Park Jimin are you listening!?"

That's funny his name is Park Jimin -

I stopped dead in my tracks and stiffly turned my head over to the seats opposite us.

My eyes widen and I singed down lower into my seat as an attempt to hide from Jimin and Jinae. Taehyung looked at me with a confused look that I returned with a panicked expression. I gestured my head to the set of seats opposite us and he understood the situation.

He grinned and looked outside quickly. "Don't worry only another five stops to go." He was definitely enjoying this.

But his excitement and joy died when the bus took a stop and two girls stepped into the bus. One was absolutely stunning. She was tall even taller than me, she had long brown hair, a petite face, nice complexion, thin legs, an 's' line and she looked like she was my age!

Taehyung sunk into his chair and attempted to hide himself from the mysterious girl. I raised an eyebrow at him, sought of like how he did to me but the roles were reverse.

"You know her?" I asked pointing at the pretty girl. He nodded and slapped my hand dow before she noticed us. "She kind of, how should I put this delicately?" He paused, "she basically wants to burn me and feed me to a pack of pigeons." I scrunched my face up in disgust and narrowed my eyes at him. "That was delicatly?"

He nodded.

Wow she must really hate him.

"What did you do to her?" He looked away and a sad frown was plastered on his lips. Immediately I knew he must've of done something horrible to her.

She looks familiar, like I've seen her but not in real life. She was sitting next to this other girl who I knew, I've definitely talked to before.

That's when it hit me.

"Hana!" I exclaimed, the girl with the pretty girl. She widened her eyes and smiled, "Taehee!" Hana got off her seat and walked over to us, stumbling as the bus moved.

Taehyung cursed silently and pulled over his hood and put his face mask on. I guess he knew Hana as well. I whispered a silent sorry and smiled at Hana who dragged along the pretty girl.

Hana sat down in front of us and turned around to face me. "Long time no see, are you dating a new guy? Where's your other boyfriend?"

I widened my eyes and blushed. "He's my brother and that other guy is just a friend!"

That's when I remembered Jimin was also on the bus with us. I turned around and found that he was staring at us but not at Hana or me but at the pretty girl, who was staring at Jimin as well.

"Jung Sunmi?" Jimin muttered, not believing his eyes.

The girl nodded, "Park Jimin?" Great another ex girlfriend? Sunmi moved over to Jimin's side and started to talk to him. Jinae looked pretty angry since he was barely talking to her before but now he was having a full conversation.

"Isn't that your boyfriend? Oh my gosh is he cheating on you? I'm going to beat him senseless! How dare he talk to my superwoman like that!" Taehyung chuckled but stopped when Hana snapped her head at him.

"What's so funny buddy?" She paused and observed him longer, "you seem really familiar."

He laughed and the bus took a stop. Taehyung shot up and pulled me out, "I guess we're here! Come on Taehee." He pulled me out but I managed to sneak in a quick goodbye to Hana.

Ever since Taehyung came back, I've realised I've been dragged by people a lot.

When the bus took off, I got one last glimpse of Jimin talking to that pretty girl whom is probably named Sunmi?

Jimin had that warm fuzzy smile that he hasn't shown me in a while.

I shook off the negative thoughts and turned over to Taehyung who had just ripped his face mask off. "Care to enlighten me with what horrible things you did to that poor girl?" Taehyung looked away and sighed.

As we walked to the mall, Taehyung told me everything no I mean everything from the big events to the small details.

I was surprised, how did so much happen when we were apart?

When he got to the end of the story even I was kind of angry at Taehyung. I hit him across the head with my fist, "yah you punk! How could you do that to her?"

He frowned, "hey I've been trying to contact her but she's been ignoring me."

"Then why did it seem like you were avoiding her in the bus?" His sweat dropped, "do you know Hana?" I nodded, "well her and Sunmi are kind of best friends, basically if Hana sees me then she won't hesitate to throw me out the window on a moving bus, even though I tried making it up to her already."

I grinned, "Hana is such a great friend! She would do that for a friend!"

Taehyung pushed me, "yah do you want your brother to die?"

I grinned and shrugged before skipping off ahead of him. I heard Taehyung's constant shouts but I ignored it and went ahead. When I couldn't see him anymore, I bought a bottle of mineral water and sat by the bench in front of the mall.

Just waiting made me bored. I played with water bottle but stopped when I heard footsteps coming into my direction.

I looked up to find two flashy looking boys smirking at me.

"Oh she's a cutie, we're real lucky today." The taller one said. I grimaced at his expression which was eyeing my body and face.

Without saying a word, I stoop up and attempted to walk away but the shorter one grabbed my wrist. "Hey where are you going cutie? We just want to talk to you, how about Oppa treats you to some nice tea?" I tried shaking his hand away but he just tightened his grip.

"Please let go." I urged with a stutter. They ignored me and tried pulling me away. I shut my eyes tightly, afraid of seeing what was going to happen.

No one around us seemed to be paying attention or they were but chose to not help because they didn't want to be involved.

Jimin save me.

"Let go of her." I opened my eyes and looked up as his grip on my wrist loosened.

The two boys looked at him who was shooting daggers at them.

Feeling the sense of danger, the two boys ran off, pushing me in the process. I winced as my butt made contact with the floor.

He reached his hand out and helped me up.

"Taehee what are you doing here alone? I thought V was accompanying you." I nodded, "yeah but he made me so angry that I ran away."

I sat on the bench and took a seat next to me.

We stayed silent and stared into the distance. " you're wearing your glasses again."

"Yeah my contacts were just plain old annoying." He gave out a light hearted chuckle and let the wind blow his hair.

"Hey Jin thanks for earlier, I can't imagine what would've happened if you turned up later."

"No problem."
