Val's POV

I look down at my plate. "Is it really bothering you that bad?" He asks. I nod. "I thought that I was her best friend and that she'd tell me everything.. But I guess not.", "Look." I slowly raise my gaze to his dazzling eyes. "Like I said. She'll either tell you or you'll find out sooner or later." I nod because he's right. "You shouldn't be all bummed out because of something she's doing." He says. "You're here with me." My heart stops at his words, the way he said it.

He blushes. "I didn't mean it in that way I meant it like..","No.." I stop him before he goes blabbing on about how he's sorry. "Its okay.. You're right. I'm here with you. I shouldn't be worrying about anything." I nod my head. "You couldn't be more right." I smile. He returns the smile.

"So. Tae. I'm pretty sure a guy like you would have a girlfriend." Wait what!!? Why would I care!? I feel my face heat up in embarrassment. I see his face go red. "Uhm.." He clears his throat. "Actually.. I've never really.. Had a girlfriend." He shrugs. Excuse me? Did this cute beast just say he's never had a girlfriend? I shake my head in disbelief.

"Wait what?" I ask. He looks away from me, his hand rubbing the back of his neck. "I... I've never had a girlfriend." He says. "That's so cute." I smile. He looks at me right away, his peachy cheeks of red. "How is it cute? I'd think that its embarrassing because I'm already 32 and I've never had a girlfriend." He looks like he's upset, I've put this upon him and I hate myself for it.

"No.. Don't be Tae. Its not embarrassing.. You want to know why?" I ask. Right away he looks at me and nods. His eyes filled with wonder. "Its not embarrassing because whom ever is your first girlfriend, they'll feel special. And I'm sure it'll be your first time for everything right?" I ask. He nods. "All but kissing." He says with a nod. I smile. "That girl I promise, she'll think its cute. And she'll feel special for being your first."

His face looks like its become only hotter with the heat rising in his cheeks. "So this Robert guy.." He starts. I knew this would come up, but I'm not mad about it. "He's my ex boyfriend.. We broke up three years ago.." I start. "Oh.. And ever since then?" My eyebrows raise. "I haven't dated since.. Because I'm.. Scared.." I confess, the first time I'm confessing it. Its quiet, the silence made it worse. "He hurt you.. Didn't he?" He breaks the painful silence. I can't look at him. "Not physically." I say. I slowly meet his eyes. "He cheated on me with a girl at his college." I say.

He looks mad. "What kind of idiot would cheat on a girl like you?" His words surprise me. My eyebrows go up, I feel my heart pounding in my chest. "I mean.. I've never been in a relationship.. But I know damn right that if you're with someone its to love them not cheat on them." He shakes his head. "From all the stuff you told me about yourself, you're a really nice person. I don't know what jack ass would cheat on you." He says.

I stare at him for a while, wondering what to say. "Thanks Tae." I smile shyly. He nods and looks down at his finished plate. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything." He says. I shake my head and chuckle. "No.. You didn't I swear." I smile a bit, remembering what he said.

"This is crazy!" He smiles looking at all the Elvis Presley items. I smile. "You like Elvis?" I ask. "Have you heard wise man?" He asks. Of course I knew that song. "Sing it to me." I smile. He smiles back.

"Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you."

His voice was beautiful, it was deep and soothing. A couple of people have stopped to listen.

"Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you"

A guy who had his guitar on his back starts to play. More people gather, many recording.

"Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you."

I feel my heart pounding when he walks closer to me. He smiles as he goes through the sweet lyrics that Elvis did. He's right in front of me.

"For I can't help.."

His hand raises to caress my face, I can hear my heart pounding in my ears. My breath hitches.

"falling in love.."

He leans in until I can feel his breath brush my lip. I look down a his pink lips as he sings the lyrics.

"... with you"

He says before pressing his lips against mine. I can taste the pink lemonade he drank when we went to the restaurant. I wrap my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. His hands fall to my waist pulling me against him. I get lost in the moment, just then there's applauding. He smiles against my lips then pulls away.

"Wow. That was amazing." The boy with the guitar says. Taehyung let's me go and smiles. "Thank you." He says. There were many comments that he got. Many people saying that he has a beautiful voice, and they wondered if he did covers on YouTube. And soon he looked bothered by the questions. To think that he was just singing to me, and it turned into this.

Finally we get away from the crowd. Its quiet for a while. Then I finally look at him. "It was beautiful.." I say. He looks at me and smiles. "Thank you." He blushes. I feel this flutter in my heart. "Well.. We've seen all of Hollywood. Can I show you something?" I ask. He looks at me and nods.

**

"Wow.." He looks out to our view. We had gotten here just on time. I had brought him out to the top of the hill that said "HOLLYWOOD" on it. "This is the most beautiful view I've ever seen." He says. I walk over to him from my car. "Its great right?" I ask. The sun slowly sets making his face look ever so sweet. His hair nicely combed above his eyes. A small grin pulls on the corners of those lips. Those lips that I had tasted, they had given me an adrenaline rush. And I had this weird feeling that I needed more.

My lips part at the thought of his lips against mine. He then looks away from me and down at his shoes, the dry untreated grass crunching underneath the soles of his converse. "I'm sorry I kissed you back there.. I know it was out of line. And highly inappropriate for me to do." I slowly walk over to him. I feel my heart pounding again in my chest. I'm right next to him, he looks at me surprised. He turns towards me. The sunset making him look handsome.

"No.." I whisper, finding the courage to step closer to him. "I wanted you to." I say my hand raising to touch his cheek. His skin felt soft underneath the pads of my finger tips. I look into his chocolate brown eyes. I feel my breathing become hard.

How is it that a boy I just met last night at the 24 hour, not really 24 hour, buffet? This boy that I stitched up his hand, he punched a guy in the face for me. Why was I all of a sudden having this weird feeling for him?

I lift myself off the heels of my feet and tippy toe to meet his lips. He freezes then lowers his neck so that I can plant my feet. It was so weird that one kiss in front of maybe twenty people, is all it took for me to be completely hooked on this guy.

I can feel his sharp jaw moving as he kissed me back. I wrap my other arm around his neck. My fingers slowly running through his hair that lightly brushed the back of his neck. His arms finally wrap around me, giving me warmth.

Our kiss stayed passionate, the heat never rised. We were just two people that enjoyed each others company, by sharing a kiss. He slowly pulls away, and I savor his sweetness. A small smile creeps onto his lips. I feel my face had gone hot. "Would you like to go out with me?" He asks. I chuckle and nod. "Of course." I say. His smile grows into that full rectangle. "Has anyone ever told you that you have a cute smile?" He asks. I didn't notice that I was smiling.

"Cause it's completely adorable." He smiles.

I step back from him and smile bigger, also hoping that maybe I'd stop blushing but I obviously fail miserably. "The way you say it makes all the other comments that have been told to me less effective." I tone down the smile realizing that I have been smiling too much. "Less effective?" He asks. The sun finally sets and I feel a breeze rush pass me. I nod. "I've never smiled so big from a compliment." He smiles widely.

I lay in bed that night.. I hadn't said a word to Lauren. I thought that maybe she would tell me if I gave her space. And space was what I was going to give her. Maybe then, just maybe, I'd feel better knowing what she has to say.

Over and over again, I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss Taehyung and I shared. It made me wonder if I'd finally be able to heal.. And feel happy again. I smile at the thought and pull my pillow pet into my arms.

Lauren's POV

She walks in not saying a word. I swallow my saliva, my throat had gone dry. "S-so.. Val.. How was it?" I ask. She doesn't look at me, "It was fine." She says as she walks to her dresser and grabs her pajamas and walks over to the bathroom.

After that we didn't talk. Those words were the only ones we shared. I hated that I couldn't find the courage to tell her. I was the definition of a horrible friend. I shouldn't even consider myself a best friend because of what I've done to her. For three years, I've lied to her. When she'd cry and cry about him.

I'd agree that he was the real horrible person, when really it was me. So now I lay in bed with the awkward silence between us and my heart hurting.

Robert's POV

I stare up at the dark ceiling in my dorm room. Thinking about maybe if Valerie would take me back. She'd have to.. Right?

And I also started to wonder who this Chinese guy was that was trying to take my spot in her heart.

**

Taehyungs POV

I can't stop smiling. There was this butterfly in my chest that wouldn't stop fluttering.

The way her lips felt. The way my heart raced as she kissed me back. I was completely surprised when she had kissed me on the Hollywood hill top. And I still can't believe that I had sang Elvis Presley to her. Now that, was a risk that I took. I wasn't really planning on kissing her. But when her eyes lit up when I started to sing to her and she couldn't stop smiling.. I couldn't resist kissing those lips of hers. I didn't care that people were watching, the recording part got me a bit nervous but other than that I didn't care.. She was there and thats all I needed.

I feel the pit of my stomach tightened to the thought of going out with her on Friday night. My fingers run along the stitches on my knuckle. I smile and try to go to sleep.
