My thoughts were all over the place. At first I was mad at him for staring at me and making me uncomfortable, but then as time passed I couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Did I overreact? Was he attracted to me? The thought itself made me blush. Coolest guy I've ever known, the one all the girls want to be with finds me attractive enough and stares at my ass? Nah.

I was thinking too much, which was unnecessary. I was super rude to him right from the start which I never usually am. Was it guilt that I felt at the moment? I didn't know, but I found myself making my way downstairs to go talk to him and chill things down a little bit.

Boys are like that and I have no idea why I felt so offended all of a sudden or was it just me being flustered that Kim Taehyung was looking at me?

I shook off the thoughts, and climbed down the stairs until he was in my field of vision.

He was standing in front of one of those tall concrete pillars, one hand on it and leaning close. "Chae-ah, I'm sorry" he spoke in a deep voice. For a second, I was confused as to what was happening but then it hit me.

He was acting! So I'm supposed to be the concrete pillar and he's apologising to me? Is he practicing?

He shook his head and stood up straight and distanced himself a little. "I shouldn't have stared at your-" he facepalmed, "Tch. No" he sighed to himself. I was just being a spectator and I was enjoying it more than I was supposed to. He was just so - cute? It was adorable how he was practising how to apologise.

I watched him from a distance for a while, he bowed, hugged and stroked the pillar in the awkward-est of ways. I couldn't hold in my laughter anymore and at one point, I let out a silent chuckle. Since the building was empty, the small sound that left my mouth echoed and I had to clasp a hand around my lips as a reflex action.

"Shit" he turned around to face me and I smiled at him, trying not to burst out laughing at the horrified expression on his face.

"I was just- " he started, trying to explain what he was doing but I cut him short.

"I'm sorry Tae. I was rude earlier" I apologised, earning another confused look from him. I walked to him and he took a step back.

"Why're you apologising? I'm sorry for staring like that" he said plainly and I grinned.

"That's not how you practised it right?" I tilted my head a little to the side and he furrowed his brows at me.

"I'm sorry for staring at your ass" I repeated his words from earlier, mimicking him and bowed in front of him. He cringed and let out a protest, "You were watching the whole time weren't you?"he asked.

"Yep"

"I'm beyond embarrassed right now" he looked away.

"Why? It was cute" the words left my mouth before I could even process it.

He blinked at me, his big doe eyes twinkling due to the sunlight. It lasted one second, just one second for me to admire how nice he looked because the next moment he was smirking and looking at me with mischief in his eyes.

"You think I'm cute? " he sounded cockier than usual.

"What?No, duh" I shrugged, trying to defend myself for no reason.

"It's too late Chae. Admit it. You like me"

"Keep dreaming Tae"

"See, you're calling me 'Tae' now. I don't need more proof than this"

"Shut up Taehyung" I playfully smacked his shoulder and walked past him.

As much as I'd like to admit that I really did think he was cute and that I really did like him, I wouldn't. I would be no different. I'll just be one of those girls trying to lick his ass which is the last thing I'd want to be.

"So I thought of this cool game. We should totally play it." He chimed as he swung his arm around my shoulder.

I decided to not get pissed at something silly again because this is Taehyung and he does shit like this.

"Tell me about it" I spoke casually, and he walked with me across the hall. He seemed too happy that I was letting him touch me but then who wouldn't let Tae touch them? No I'm not fangirling and no I don't like him.

"It's a game where you are supposed to remain a statue and you shouldn't move no matter what I do. No laughing either" he described.

"Tae...three year olds play this game"

"Well, genius" he paused, "three year olds can't really play something as cool as this so practically you're wrong".

"It's still a game played by kids, you kid" I retorted.

"Umm, so you want me to do something that kids don't do?" he asked, bending his arm around me such that I was pulled close against his body. He gave me his infamous smirk and winked.

I rolled my eyes, "You need to stop flirting with me. You suck at it".

"Ouch!" he took a step back and clenched the material of his shirt against his chest, "my heartu".

I laughed, "you learnt that from Hobi, didn't you?".

"Ah, it's not funny when you've already seen him do it before" he sighed straightening up.

"Should we start playing then?" I asked, and his head whipped towards me.

"Woah so you're really gonna play?"

"Unless you don't want me to" I returned his smirk and he went all 'no no I really want to play' and so we ended up playing.

It was his turn first. Taehyung stood with his arms stretched sideways, level with his shoulders, eyes straight ahead. Basically, his posture was that of a scarecrow.

It was my turn to get him to move first, so I went with the most common move; I tickled him. I tried tickling him under his arms, his tummy, neck, but nothing seemed to work. He stayed immobile, as if it barely affected him.

"Ugh" I sighed as I ran to the vending machine to get a can of coke. I smiled to myself standing before him, with a freezing cold can in my hand. He looked back at me as if daring me to do whatever I could.

I lifted his shirt up a little, revealing a well toned abdomen. I swallowed at how nice he looked, and my fingers brushed against his abs once before I placed the cold tin against his skin. The boy stiffened at the sudden coldness but he didn't really move. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, and opened them back up.

I moved the can up and down against his skin but it didn't look like it was having any effect on him. I tried placing it on his back but that didn't work either so I tossed it away and waited for the next thought to invade my mind.

I wanted to try something but I was afraid to actually do it. Would it be okay? I pondered over it for a few seconds before I decided to go with it. This was V! The baddest boy alive so he'd be okay with anything.

I placed my hands on his hips and hooked a finger each into the hem of his pants. His eyes widened and he took his bottom lip between his teeth.

This was working well.

I stepped closer until we were only inches away. Hooking four fingers into his pants, I let my thumbs caress the skin there. He sucked in a sharp breath and I pulled his pants down by less than a centimetre and he pushed me away.

It wasn't like I'd actually pull his pants down, in fact I'd never do it. I don't know how and where I found the guts to even touch him like that. The look he was giving me made me feel guilty, scared even. His eyebrows were furrowed, was he angry? I went too far, didn't I?

I started the day hating and not wanting to spend time with him and now I was tucking at his pants. I mentally slapped myself.

What were you even thinking Chae?

I was being too playful, too dorky, and I've never been that with him and I just-

"Someone wanted to get in my pants huh?" Taehyung laughed.

That snapped me out of my thoughts.

"It worked, you moved, I won" I said, smiling hesitantly.

"Of course I'd move. It's my turn now" he wiggled his brows and a part of me was happy that he took it lightly and in the 'it's all in the game' sense. But the other part of me was nervous as fck as to what this boy would do to me if I went rigid before him.
