Following day

As soon as I entered my classroom , I spotted Taehyung setting in his place, surrounded with his friends. As he was a popular guy even though he was cold, you would never see him alone except while he's sleeping.

I strode my way toward my desk then greeted him. I'm sure that he heard me say good morning to him but he turned blind eyes on me. It's ok, if he didn't want anyone to know about us then I would keep it as a secret. But I was a little heartbroken as he ignored me.

I was preparing for the upcoming class when Haerin hugged me from behind.

"Why didn't you pick up my call yesterday,Soo ?" She whined in a cute way.
Should I tell her everything about Taehyung? I will just wait for a while. When everything would settle down I would tell her.

"I was busy, sorry Haerin-ah" I looked at her and hold her hands which were snaked around my shoulder.

•••••••••••••••••
The whole day went without any disturbance in school but my mood was off for some reason.

I was about to pack my bag for dismissal when I saw a small sticky notes on my table.

"Come to my place , same time as yesterday."

After seeing the note, a small smile crept on my face. I didn't know that he wanted to teach me today as well. Maybe he wanted to cuddle too. He being my tutor was fine. But cuddle mate ?! Wasn't it a bit too much ? How was I suppose to cuddle with him. And first of all what's even cuddling ? I couldn't remember the last time I cuddled with someone. Most probably when  my parents where alive. The mere thought of them disheartened me, but quickly I brushed off the feeling then headed back to home.

•••••••••••••
I decided to go a bit early at Taehyung's place as I was planning to ask him a lot of question today.

As I rang the bell , shirtless Taehyung opened the door groggily. I was shocked to see him half naked as I wasn't expecting the sight at all. I momentarily covered my innocent eyes.

"You are early today. "

"Wh.. Where is yo.. your shirt?"

"Stop  overreacting . Haven't you ever seen a naked guy?"

"What , no! Where am I suppose to see it ?!"

" oh that means you haven't seen the porn yet. How naive you are. Or are you trying to act innocent ?"

My face tuned red at the mention of porn.  How could he say that as a matter of factly ?! It's true that I hadn't seen the porn yet but  was it necessary for every teenager to watch it ? 

"I think your brain is corrupted." I said to him as I strode toward his room.

" nah, it's better than your brain. Unlike you're way much  corrupted brain , I can still have  great grade with this brain."

He never failed to come with a comeback. It would be better if I keep my mouth shut , so that I wouldn't be insulted.

"Open your note book. Let's continue where we left yesterday. "
He said while wearing a T-shirt as he sat on the chair across mine.

"No , unless or until you finish answering my question, I won't study today. "

"Aish, this stubborn girl. Alright shoot. "

" why do you need a cuddle mate?"

"So that I can cuddle ?"Taehyung said with a void of interest.

"No there must be reason you wanna cuddle! You can't just feel like cuddling and then cuddle with some random people like me"

" the thing is look, don't you see me sleeping at school ?"I nodded my head meekly.

"The reason is , I can't sleep. I have insomnia and it would help me to sleep if I had someone to sleep with me. "

" then why me ?" I asked curiously.

" you make me sleepy ?"

"What!"

"Yeah, when you talk , I feel sleepy. So Your words kinda sound like lullaby in my ear. So that's the only time I can sleep."

" dude , I don't rap or sing. How come my words sound lullaby in your ear ? I don't get it. Then how about now ?"

"I don't exactly know what it is but now your words are alright because I had a good sleep yesterday." This guy seriouly have some problem. Never in my life I heard someone tell me that I talk as if I'm singing lullaby. How's that even sound like? For a day I would like to borrow his funny ear to listen to the things that he hallucinates.

"You know what we have to make deals. " Taehyung spoke up to break the silence.

" ok "

" the rules are :
1. Don't tell this to anyone as it sounds kinda creepy
2. Don't fall in love with me.
   That's it "

I was positive that I could follow first rule but I didn't think that I could obey second rule as I already
had a massive crush on him. But to not to show that I wasn't obviously gonna fall in love with him , I confidently told him " are you out of your mind?! I'm not insane to fall in love with you. You pabo !"

" oh really ? Let's see. Mark my words as well. " he said with a smirk on his face which I badly wanted to rub it off from his face.

" let's exchange numbers. " he said as he took my mobile phone from me then started to dial his number.

" when I call you , you gotta come. Okey ?"

"But I have part time job and homework. I can't come whenever you feel like. " he pouted as I told him. He looked so cute that I felt like squishing his cheeks.

"When is you shift ? "

"Umm every day except for weekends, from 4 to 8"

"Then everyday come to my place after your shift. You can fix your homework as well. You can skip coming to my place in weekend too so that you can have some rest. "

As much as I wanted to be near him , but I was scared. I was scared to falling in love with him. And I knew if spent a long time with him, I would eventually fall for him . And that's the last thing to do to stop myself from jeopardising my relationship with Taehyung.

"Ok...." But I had no other option to choose as I was in need of help.

"Let's then start our lesson." Taehyung clapped his hands.

I didn't think I could focus on my lesson today. ....

Authors note
Sorry guys for the extremely late update. I thought that no one liked this fic so for once I thought to discontinue it. But surprisingly there were so many of you who wanted to know what would happen in the following chapters so I decided to update it again. I hope this chapter was worth for waiting. I will try my best to update as soon as possible.
