"You're going too fast!" you exclaim as you wrap your arms more tightly around Taehyung's waist.
"I told you it would be intense the first time riding." He responds while laughing as he twists the handles on the motorcycle. He speeds up a little before changing lanes, causing you to shut your eyes tightly. You press your head against Taehyung's back for protection despite having a helmet on your head.
"Well you said that when you were still going slow!"
"Relax! We're almost there. I just have to stop and get something really quick though, if that's alright with you." He says before making a turn.
"You said we're going somewhere where my friends can pick me up!" you yell back before he slowly turns his motorcycle into a parking space near an apartment building.
"We are!" he says before putting the motorcycle into park, undoing the strap on his helmet. He then removes the helmet and gestures for you to do the same. You let out a soft sigh before taking it off.
You assume that tonight couldn't get any worse anyway. Following him and making one little pit stop couldn't possibly make this night worse.
As you take the helmet off, you take a second to smooth your hands over your hair. He gestures for you to follow him after he sets down his helmet on his motorcycle. You, however, decide to hold onto yours as a safety net for whatever building and situation you're getting yourself into.
You follow behind Taehyung as he leads the way to this apartment building.
He continues to walk before taking out a key from his pants pocket. You watch as he stops at a door and pause behind him. Stepping forward, he reaches his hand behind him to signal for you to follow behind him as he enters the room.
"You can sit down on the couch." he says as you step into the apartment, looking around at the furniture.
It's a nice, homey apartment. The aesthetic of it is warm neutrals.
It has a nice, warm brown couch paired with a wooden coffee table. The entertainment system is made of the same wood used on the coffee table. The kitchen has a warm, darker brown wood making up the cabinets.
"You can take a seat. I just have to grab something." He states. You nod your head before you make your way towards the couch. You sit on the couch and look around, awkwardly keeping your hands placed on the helmet sitting on your lap.
Taehyung leaves the living room and kitchen area. He makes his way towards the hallway leading to where the bedrooms are.
As he does this, you watch him and see that he turns left but there's also another door to the right.
You quickly look away before hearing your phone beep. Glancing down at it, you see that Sunmi is texting you to ask about the date.
You roll your eyes before quickly typing out a 'horrible' text message. You then follow up with a 'I'll be at the café soon. Meet me there and I will explain when I get there' message.
After a few minutes, you hear a door open followed by the sound of footsteps getting closer to the living room. You look in the direction of the area the footsteps are coming from, expecting to see Taehyung.
"Are you ready to head to the café now?" you ask before looking in the direction of the person standing there. "Oh... you're not Taehyung."
You see a slim man standing there with light blonde hair, plump lips, and he's only wearing boxers.
"Uh... yeah, I'm not Taehyung. I'm Jimin." He responds before reaching his hand up to run his fingers through his hair. After he takes a second to yawn and stretch his arms upwards, he realizes that he's shirtless and quickly widens his eyes before using the nearest throw pillow to cover his body. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I just woke up and didn't realize Taehyung had guests. I'll go get dressed." You nod your head before watching the man make his way down the hall back to the room he came out of that's adjacent to the room Taehyung disappeared to.
"It's okay! I'm Y/N, by the way." You say. He holds up his hand, lifting his index finger to indicate that he needs a minute.
You awkwardly cough to yourself once he shuts his door. Immediately, you sit onto the couch once more.
"I'm so sorry about that." Jimin's voice echoes again. He's now dressed in a black t-shirt and some pajama pants. "It's nice to meet you, Y/N." he says while giving you a friendly smile.
"I like your place." You say while looking around. "It's very homey." This causes Jimin to smile.
"Ah, thank you. Taehyung and I had a few arguments about what furniture to put in here but the minute we saw these pieces of furniture, we immediately stopped fighting." He says while laughing. You smile and nod your head. "Taehyung didn't mention he'd have company over today." He states. You shrug before scratching the back of your head.
"It was a... uh... last minute thing." You say before biting onto your lower lip. "He saved me from a really, really bad date where I got stood up." You state.
Jimin raises his eyebrows as he hears you say this. He opens his mouth to say something before you two hear the creak of another door in the apartment.
"Alright, Y/N, are you ready to go to the-" Taehyung steps out, holding a box wrapped in gift wrap with 'happy birthday' all over it. "Oh, you're home." He states.
"Yep, I'm home." Jimin responds.
"Did we wake you?" Taehyung immediately questions before stepping towards you and Jimin. You can see the worry in his eyes as he looks at Jimin. Jimin immediately smiles and shakes his head.
"No, no one woke me." he responds. "What's this Y/N was telling me about you saving her from being stood up on a date?" he questions.
"Ah, she was at the diner where the six of our friend group were eating. She was stood up by her date." Taehyung explains.
Jimin immediately looks over at you before widening his eyes.
"Really? Well, I'm glad he was there to cheer you up. I'm sure that guy wasn't good enough for you anyway. You deserve better than that." Jimin immediately tells you.
You give him a soft smile.
"Thanks." You quietly say.
You watch as Jimin steps towards Taehyung and gives him an eager hug before stepping away. He then goes towards the kitchen. In the kitchen, Jimin begins preparing a meal for himself.
"So, Taehyung-ah, what time are you going to be home?" he questions from the kitchen.
"Probably in an hour. I just have to drop Y/N off at the café then drop off this gift to Minho for his birthday." Taehyung explains.
"Sounds good. Tell him I said 'happy birthday' as well." Jimin states.
"So, are you ready to go?" Taehyung asks you. You nod your head. "Alright, we're going to get going."
"Drive safely! It was nice meeting you, Y/N." Jimin gives a friendly smile and wave. You give him a soft smile back and nod your head.
"It was nice meeting you too." You respond before you and Taehyung make your way towards the front door.
You two exit the apartment building and walk towards his motorcycle. He puts the present he's holding into the tiny trunk on the back of the motorcycle. He then gets on first and gestures for you to get onto it as well.
Placing the helmet on your head, you adjust the straps around your chin once more. Then, you get onto the motorcycle behind him.
"Jimin's really nice." You say.
"Yeah, him and I have been best friends since 2013." He responds while putting his helmet on as well.
"That's sweet." You say while smiling at him. "It can be hard to keep friends sometimes so it's endearing that you two have been friends for that long." He lets out a soft laugh.
"We do fight over things all the time because of us living together." He states before shrugging his shoulders. "However, we always make up." You nod.
After a few seconds of silence, he starts the engine of the motorcycle.
You immediately place your hands tightly onto his upper arms from behind, squeezing his arms.
"I'm begging you this time. Please don't go too fast." You state. This causes Taehyung to laugh before shaking his head.
"We're five minutes away. I'm not in a rush anymore." You nod your head and let out a deep breath, calming a little. "You can let go of my arms now." He continues, causing you to quickly release his arms. You move your arms down to his waist and wrap them around it as you lean your head against his back.
"Okay. I'm ready." Taehyung takes his foot off of the ground and starts to drive the motorcycle out of the apartment building parking lot.
As you two drive along the streets, feeling the wind in your hair through the helmet, you find yourself not getting as scared this time.
You're not sure if it's because you know a little more about Taehyung now and don't feel as though you're with a stranger. You're not sure if it's because of the lower speed this time around.
However, you feel more relaxed this time.
Relaxed enough to where you find yourself letting go of his waist and sitting up straight. You're no longer resting your head on his back and your eyes are open this time as you watch as you two zoom past a lot of cars.
Taehyung speaks up, almost as if he can tell that you're feeling more relaxed this time.
"It's more fun this time around, isn't it?" he yells over the sound of the wind thrashing past your ears. You let out a laugh and nod your head.
"It really is!" you yell back before letting out a squeal of excitement. This causes Taehyung to laugh as he shakes his head.
You two continue to scream and laugh while on the motorcycle together, allowing yourselves to enjoy the view of the sky turning dark.
Before you know it, you're at the café that you had told him to take you to.
He parks his motorcycle before he gets off of it with you to walk you inside the café and make sure your friends are there so you can get home safely. You walk with him into the café as he holds the door open for you.
You look around the café to find Sunmi and Seulgi. After a few seconds, you see them.
They're both staring wide-eyed at you as you see them. You then give them a wave.
"My friends are right over there. Would you like to meet them since I got to meet Jimin tonight?" you ask. He glances over at them, seeing the expression on their faces before he lets out a soft laugh.
"Uh... yeah, sure." He states. You make your way towards the two sitting at the table. Taehyung follows behind you as you lead the way.
"Hey." You say to Sunmi and Seulgi.
"Hi..." Seulgi says uncertainly, fully aware of Taehyung's presence and obviously staring at him.
"This is Taehyung, my savior." You say while gesturing towards him. He lets out a laugh.
"I'm Sunmi."
"I'm Seulgi." Taehyung gives them both friendly smiles before nodding his head.
"I wouldn't quite say that I'm her savior, by the way. I'd say... I'm just really good at timing." He states. You let out a soft laugh.
"It's nice to meet you." Sunmi states.
"Nice motorcycle." Seulgi states.
"Thanks, I've had it for two years now." He states before awkwardly putting his hands in his pockets.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, you speak up.
"Well, thank you for saving me again." You say while giving him a smile. He nods his head and gives you a small smile.
"Any time." He responds, turning around for a second before he pauses.
You're staring at him as you watch him standing still for a second.
He then turns back around and speaks again.
"Give me your phone please." He states. You furrow your eyebrows.
"My phone? Why?"
"I'm going to give you my number in case you get stuck on another bad date. Just give me a call and I'll rescue you again." He states. You let out a soft laugh before shaking your head.
"If I do that, I'll have to pay you for your services." You say while laughing. He shrugs.
"Maybe $20 per date?" he jokes, causing you to laugh. "Just kidding. I'd rather just make sure you're safe, no money needed." You nod your head before giving him your phone. He quickly inputs his number into your phone. He then hands it back to you and you smile.
"Thanks." You state.
"No problem, anything for a friend." He states. You grin. "It was nice meeting you both." He says before politely bowing to Seulgi and Sunmi.
The three of you then watch as he turns around to walk back outside to his motorcycle. You continue watching as he gets onto it and drives off.
"Okay, you better spill all of the details." Seulgi immediately states, causing you to laugh.
