"Taehyung where are we going?"

I am still being dragged by him and not knowing where the heck we were going I decided to ask.

"We're going to my place."

"Why?"

I asked confusedly.

"Just follow me and please shut up."

I huff in anger and let him continue dragging me until I suddenly stop dead on my tracks causing him to fly towards me with a pull because of the impact.

"What the--"

"Let's get ice cream. I'm really craving it."

Not letting him say another word, it was my turn to grab his arm and drag him to the ice shop ahead.

I step in the shop and head towards the cashier, admiring all the different flavors sitting there looking delicious.

"I'll have the chocolate please."

The lady nods with a smile before taking a big scoop of the chocolate ice cream and placing it in a cup.

"I'll let you know that I want the strawberry."

I roll my eyes and tell the lady to give me a strawberry as well. She hands us the two cups and we thank her coming out the shop.

"Thanks for the ice cream."

I nod in response and take a bite of the cold dessert, immediately feeling the sugary flavor burst in my mouth tasting so good.

I am interrupted from my devouring session when Taehyung rudely decided to take a scoop of my ice cream and then have the audacity to happily put it in his mouth.

"Yah! How dare you!"

He evilly chuckled and smirked while taking a bite of his own. But before any further, I dig my spoon in his cup taking half of the ice cream along and stuff the whole thing in my mouth. I watch him stare at me the whole time with his mouth hanging open and eyes widen. I stick out my tongue playfully as I begin to walk faster leaving him behind.

"Serves you right."

I joyfully continue walking with a proud smirk but later notice that Taehyung still hadn't attacked me, I slightly turn my head to look back at him only to find him staring down at his half eaten ice cream with a sad pout.

I immediately stop on my tracks and let out a groan.

Why does he always do that?!

He knows I can't resis--

Ughhhhh~

I turn my body 180° and take big steps towards him while mentally face cursing myself for not being able to resist.

"Taehyung"

I stop infront of him and he slowly looks at me with the pout and I groan again not being able to freakin resist his adorable pout.

I look away annoyed for what I'm about to do.

"Here take it."

I stick out my arm holding my ice cream, he looks at it blinking several time and immediately the big boxy smile appears, replacing the sad pout.

I'm shocked to think how fast he can change like that, he has me completely wrapped around his finger huh.

He takes the ice cream and starts happily eating it. Seeing his smile makes me unknowingly smile too.

"Thanks"

He mumbles with a mouth full of ice cream and I sigh shaking my head, I grab his arm and start dragging him whilst he was still finishing my ice cream.

He can be such a child at times, he knows very well that I can't resist his pout so he purposely uses it against me.

I sigh for the second time with a smile growing thinking about his little tricks but instantly falters when realization hits me.

I don't even know the way to his house.

"Taehyung, where's your house?"

"Just take the right over there and it's ahead."

I nod and continue dragging him even though he could walk on his own.

After following his directions, I stop at a huge beautiful house, it was more like a mansion. I look back at Taehyung with a surprised expression.

"This is your house?"

"Yeah why?"

"No it's just I didn't think you were this rich..."

"I have many secrets you don't know."

He smirks and opens the main gate with me following behind.

Yep his back to his usual self.

I step inside the house and we make our way to the front door, he pulls out his keys and opens the door to the gorgeous interiorized house. It was very luxurious but with a modern touch making it very homey. The walls were off-white colour with matching furniture.

I come out of my trance when a maid approaches us and bows to us. She looked like she was in her 50s, there were also other maids around the house that I had just noticed. Taehyung smiles to her and hands her his school bag which she takes. As she was about to leave, Taehyung stops her by calling her.

"Miss Song, could you please serve us some snacks and drinks."

She nods with a smile and bows before heading towards the kitchen. I am surprised again by Taehyung, he really has many secrets.

"What?"

"I never thought you were this polite....you were always a jerk!"

"Yah!"

He smacks my head playfully and I rub the spot before also smacking his head twice as hard as he did. I start chuckling seeing him also rub the spot and I walk away to sit on the couch in the living room.

"So you don't live alone do you?"

"No, this is actually my parents' place"

I nod in response as he also takes a seat beside me on the couch, but one question was still roaming around my head however I was uncertain whether I should ask or not. But I decided to ask cuz why not?

"Are your parents at work?"

"Yes well actually....they're always at work, barely home so it's like as if I live alone."

I nod again but soon notice the sadness that overtook his expressions, he was smiling....but it was a sad smile. I didn't have to ask to understand what was the reason behind it, I knew it. I guess we have something in common.

Without realizing, I embrace him with a soft hug which obviously took him by surprise but he soon leaned in the hug and let me hug him.

I knew how he felt, not having the love of parents...he at least has parents but I'm not even sure where mine are...

Not having someone there to comfort him, to ask him how his day went, how he was, someone to take care of him if he fell sick, if he was hurt.....I had the same experience.

I slowly release the hug and look at him with a genuine smile.

"It's fine, I've gotten used to it. Everyday I come home, I'm met with an empty house. They're most probably either at work or on a business trip, I only see them once a week and that too only during meals."

I take a hold of his hand lightly squeezing it in a comforting manner, not knowing if I'll regret it later but I don't care right now. He seems shocked but decided not to question it and stay in the moment.

I could sense him calming down and soon his famous boxy smile appears, the rooms falls into a comfortable silence with us still holding hands.

I don't know why but holding his hand brought warmth and safety to me, and I knew he liked it because his grip got stronger. After a few seconds, I notice him look towards the two controllers placed beside the large 90 inch TV.

He gets up from the couch causing our hands to separate and comes back with the two controllers, passing one to me.

"Do you know how to play?"

I let out a scoff and show him my biggest smirk.

"Know how to play? They literally call me a legend"

He also smirks in determination realizing he might have competition but little did he know who he was actually playing against.

"Let the best player win."

"Game on."

The maid suddenly appears out of nowhere with a tray filled with plenty of delicious snacks and drinks, she lightly chuckles at us while placing the tray on the center table.

"Thank you."

Taehyung politely thanks her to which she nods with a smile and bows before quietly leaving us.

He takes a chip from the bowl and sits with crossed legs in anticipation for the game to start.

"Let's see if you can beat me."

He says confidently and I smirk knowing how this will end.

-

"Waeeeee~~ why do have to do that~"

I laugh loudly like a maniac after winning for 7th time in a row. He continues to whine and keeps calling me a cheater every time I win. I knew this would end up like this but I still wanted to give the poor boy a chance.

"I already told you, they call me a LEGEND."

He huffs in anger and takes the whole bowl of gummy bears, stuffing everything in one go.

"Just admit I'm the best player and that you lost FARE AND SQUARE."

"Fine whatever."

He rolls his eyes while I continue to show my brightest smile knowing I defeated him not once...not twice...but SEVEN TIMES.

My laughter dies down and I lean back on the couch in satisfaction. All of a sudden, a thought comes to my head and I instantly take out my phone to check the time. It was 9pm and I looked outside to find the sky displaying pure darkness.

I didn't realized how fast time went by, I guess I'll just have to walk in the dark now. Great, there will most probably be creeps out at this time.

Taehyung seems to notice my expression change as he places the bowl back on the table and calls me.

"Hana is something wrong?"

"No. I should probably go back home, it's already really late."

I get up from the couch picking up my bag but suddenly get stopped from a grasp on my arm. I turn around to see Taehyung look nervous and scratch the back of his neck.

"Uhh if you want....you can you know....stay here for t-the night....I uh have spare bedroom if you...uh want."

I chuckle at his cute behavior and he awkwardly chuckles back. But my laughter dies when I sigh and look down.

I don't know if I should...

Would it put him in danger if I decided to stay here.

What if my enemies find out my location. This place doesn't seem to have much security...

"I can't I'm sorr--"

"Please.....it's not like anyone will be here and I...I get quite lonely."

He shyly mumbles, avoiding my contact and I couldn't help but soften to him. He looked like a child asking, so innocent and shy yet so broken and desperate.

His grip on my arm slowly loosen and I turn to face him fully with a small smile.

I don't know if I'll regret this later.....I hope not...

"Ok fine, but I don't have anything with me."

His face immediately lights up and a grin appearing.

"Don't worry in the bathroom you'll have everything you need and I can lend you some of my clothes."

I nod and he quickly runs upstairs as I chuckle watching him get so happy and excited.

"Well come on, let me show you your room."

I smile and follow behind him up the stairs.

He seems so excited just because I'm staying...maybe he was really lonely and all he wanted was company.

It is fun hanging out with him, he isn't that arrogant and rude you would think he would be being the school's heartthrob.

Maybe making friends in Seoul isn't that bad....
