I was meant to be happy but why am I sad? 

I don't know. 

Maybe because it hurts in my chest to think of Taehyung. 

Maybe because it hurts looking at Jungkook because he reminds me so much of Taehyung. 

Maybe because he treats me the way I wanted Taehyung to treat me. 

"It's fine. Everything will be alright." I mumbled to myself dabbing tears away from my eyes as I proceeded to leave before taking a final look of myself before the mirror. It was almost five and I was ready to meet Jungkook. 

I slightly brushed my casual chestnut color dress and took my black purse and walked through my room towards the main door. I wore my brown heels and took out my keys and as I was reaching out my hand towards the doorknob to open it, the doorknob itself turned and the door opened. I almost jumped and hesitantly took a step back. The door opened wide revealing Taehyung. 

"You? You came early today." I hesitantly said with furrowed brows. 

"Yeah. You're going somewhere?" He asked as he walked inside, shutting the door behind him. I didn't reply to him as I walked past him to open the door and leave. 

"So you're gonna leave me here like this. I came home early today because I was feeling lonely in that small office of mine but guess even in my house no one's gonna stay to give me company." He sighed, lowering his tie. 

"Watch TV. I will come before nine." I said with a straightforward tone as I turned the doorknob and opened the door.

"I'm hungry and I'm sick of eating food from outside. I thought you'll serve me some hot noddles when I would head home. Guess I'll have to wait till nine for you to come back and cook something for me." Taehyung spoke in a depressed tone as he headed inside without giving another look. 

Huh. Once he didn't like the food I used to make and now he wants me to cook for him. Also, is he really expecting that I would cancel my plan worrying about him? What was wrong with him? Why was he suddenly acting so strange? 

I shut the door behind me, holding my purse tightly as I walked down. The sky was colored in a neat shade of blue mixed with orange and red. The sun was setting and the scenery looked breathtaking. 

I stood before my huge entrance gate as I waited for Jungkook. 

What would Taehyung eat? Would he be able to heat the food from the fridge? Does he know how to make instant noodles? Does he know how to use the stove or the oven? He will probably order something from outside. But he said he was sick of eating food from outside. 

Suddenly a car stopped before me, the air touched my face and I came back to my senses. It was almost dark now and Jungkook was before me in his car smiling at me. I smiled back. 

"Sorry Mrs. Kim. I'm late." He said with an awkward smile, "Get in. We should leave."

I nodded and was about to walk around his car when I stopped and looked up at him. I can't leave like this. Jungkook was wearing a black suit and looked kinda formal. 

"Mr. Jeon, this may sound rude, but I'm sorry, I won't be able to come with you today." I tried to smile as I continued whatever I was speaking, "I'm really very sorry." I said in a low tone trying hard to make eye contact with Jungkook, the smile instantly dropped from his face and he knitted his brows, "Why?"

The grip on my purse tightened, as I proceeded to explain to him everything with furrowed brows and a concerned face, "I'm suddenly struck with a load of work that I have to do. Please don't misunderstand me, I honestly didn't wish to make you come all the way here just to leave you like this. I'm really very sorry." 

Jungkook nodded with an understanding expression as he spoke with a smile, "It's fine. It's not like that much urgent. We will go some other day for shopping. Please don't be sorry like that. It's not much of a big deal." 

"Thank you, thank you so much for being so understanding." I said as I slightly bowed at him with a thankful expression, he smiled sweetly at me and sighed, "I guess I should leave then. Goodnight Mrs. Kim!"

"Goodnight!" I bid him goodbye as he drove away. I walked inside with a smile. 

I guess what Taehyung expected, that I would cancel my plan worrying about him came true and I am so disappointed with myself for being such an idiot but I can't help it. Seeing Taehyung in trouble is the last thing I wish in my life. 

I let out a sigh as I opened the entrance door and went inside. I shifted my gaze around the house and spotted a glimpse of Taehyung towards the kitchen. I tossed my purse next to the sofa and headed inside. 

"What are you doing?" I asked entering the kitchen with a straightforward tone, Taehyung was standing before the stove, his shirt was unbuttoned till his chest showing his toned body and water was dripping from his hair. What was he even doing? 

"You didn't go? You canceled your plan?" Taehyung asked turning his body towards me with a surprised face. I didn't reply but just stared at the stove with a small vessel on top of it and one of those packets of cheap instant noodles in Taehyung's hands. I could feel my blood boiling with every passing second. 

Taehyung was fast to follow my gaze and instantly laughed out, "What? You thought I couldn't cook?" I wanted to punch him so hard at that moment. I was mad. So goddamn mad at him at that moment. How could he be so selfish? After doing that much emotional drama before me, he is making fun of my weakness towards him now. 

I looked up at him clenching my fists, "Well, you guessed right. I couldn't cook. I was just trying…" He went silent. Well. That was awkward. I controlled myself from laughing as I spoke with an emotionless face, "Fine. You don't need to anymore. I'll cook. You go and change your clothes." I was avoiding eye contact as I pushed him aside and started preparing to make some nice soup and dishes that he likes. I placed the noodles packet in the cupboard as Taehyung whispered in my ear from behind bringing shivers down my spine, "I knew you would not abandon me like that." 

…

I was making popcorn for Taehyung. He was preparing to watch a horror movie that he wanted to watch for a long time. Taehyung was acting strange. I mean in a good way. He was acting calmer and was treating me softly. I was more than happy rather not in my right mind to believe what was happening to me. Has he really changed? Was I dreaming or something? 

I poured the hot popcorns in a bowl and walked outside in the TV room where Taehyung was sitting on the couch before the TV. The room was dark and the outside was silent creating a perfect setting to watch a horror movie. 

Taehyung hasn't started the movie yet as if he was waiting for me. He was wearing shorts and a vest. 

"Thanks for the popcorn." Taehyung jumped up from his couch like a child as he took the bowl and stuffed some popcorn inside his mouth.

"I'm going to sleep. If you need anything, wake me up." I said with an emotionless face. 

"What?!" He instantly frowned, "But I thought we were going to watch it together." And before I could even say anything he went back and switched off the TV, "Huh." He smiled to himself, "I don't even get much time to watch a movie. It's been such a long time since I have watched one. What was I even expecting? I thought maybe we would spend some nice time together but no!" He said with a sad smile as he placed the bowl on a counter and slowly walked past me, "Anyways, goodnight!" 

I felt a tinge of pain in my chest listening to his words and instantly held his hand, he stopped, "I'm sorry, I was just a bit tired. Not that sleepy though. Let's watch it." I turned my head back at him, as I said with a smile, "Together." Taehyung looked back at me and smiled widely at me with excitement in his eyes. 

We walked back and I sat on the couch with the bowl of popcorns. Taehyung switched on the TV and sat next to me. Then he started the movie and the movie, well, the movie was scary. Actually, it was a thousand times scarier than I expected it to be. Plus we were watching it at night, plus in a dark room, plus there was no one other than us in the house, plus the movie was too interesting that we didn't even wanna stop watching it. And Taehyung was asking me to come with him to pee because he was too scared to go to the bathroom alone and here I was holding my pee all this time because I was too shy to ask him to come with me.
