Facing a potentially horny Y/N was frightening enough to hold back my desires of opening the door. I gulped when she knocked continuously. "Didn't I say I'm sick of being childish? Let's try something more twenty-five plus! I haven't done that for months now. It was all fine until..." She paused for a little longer than required but when I stuck my ear against the door, I could hear her soft sniffles. "...until I saw him and now...I feel the need of getting physical, Taehyung..."

I didn't need to see her to picture her vulnerable state. Her sobs got louder making my heart beat faster. The door against my palm pounded harder bh the force applied from the other side. "Why are you doing this, Y/N? You will just regret saying everything tomorrow."

"Please open the door." She shouted louder between the cries that tried to muffle her voice. I wanted to open the door but after that? Do we make love? Hell, no. "Taehyung, please...o-open..."

Her voice faded like echoes and so did the knocks. I tried to peep from the space underneath the door. I could see her hands resting against the floor and something else which was presumably her ass. She passed out.

There was no way I could open the door and escape. My eyes were heavy because to some extent, I was drunk too. I unbuttoned a few buttons to lessen the suffocation and closed my eyes to have sleep work on me like a spell.

Unknowingly, we slept parallel to each other, against the wooden door.

Y/N's PoV

I learned that sleeping in a sitting posture feels like giving an elephant a piggyback ride for a mile. The pain was unendurable but I was left wondering what made me think sleeping like that could be a good decision in any way.

I held my head trying to come up with a reason to justify my actions. Amongst the innumerable questions my conscience asked me, one was, 'where's Taehyung?'

My brain was too worked up to think reasonably so I just assumed that he left for work like he did every day. I stood up and all 206 bones forming my skeleton cracked. As far as I remembered, it was the washroom door I was leaning against so I decided to start my day from there.

I gave out the loudest high pitched scream seeing Taehyung fall back just as the door unlatched. I was convinced that he was dead until he opened his eyes and screamed in sync with me.

Am I expected to just ignore that revealed chest?

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" He yelled with his morning voice which gave me auditory contentment.

"I DON'T KNOW!" I replied maintaining the same volume and pitch.

"Then why are we shouting?" By then, he stopped roaring but the shock was a little too much for my poor self.

"I DON'T KNOW THAT TOO!"

"Okay, stop shouting." He calmly said getting up from the floor and buttoning up his shirt.

"Yeah, yeah. Anyways, I am extremely sorry for all the inconvenience I caused last night." I apologised because I knew I had to do it anyway so why wait for him to scold first. Rather than anger, it was nervousness that crept on him

"Y-you remember what you d-did ?" His stuttering voice gave birth to many questions. Yeah, it was asexual mode of reproduction.

"Uh-huh?" I couldn't read his face because he thought biting nails would help him through the situation. "I mean, can you just stop abusing your nails. It's just so ew and bad for health. Taehee would know better than you."

I slapped his hand which slowly crept near his mouth and soon he was chewing off his nails as if they are the tastiest thing he has.

"Yeah, I am s-sorry. But for real, do you remember what you did last night after getting drunk?" Every word leaving his mouth begged me to say no. With the most pleading look, he glared at me.

And just because of that, I agreed on remembering.

"Yes, I remember everything," I was amused at the impact. His lips parted as if ready to say something but he didn't. "I was messing with you—what the fuck!? Why did you fall to the ground!?" I rushed to help his form that suddenly lied down on the floor rather loudly.

"God, I was having shooting pains in my chest so I thought I was having a heart attack." He sighed clutching his chest while with the other hand, he wiped off the sweat from his neck.

"Only that the heart is on the other side." I rolled my eyes at his fake act of pretending to be dying. "Now, spill the tea."

"Uh, I-I have to g-go for...for? Ah, yeah, for s-some important business. T-Talk to y-you later." He adjusted the waistband of his pants while running towards the exit in full speed.

"Yah! You can't leave me on a cliffhanger. Damn, it's not even a cliffhanger cause you didn't start the story in the first place." I ran behind him and twirled my fingers around the loose fabric of his tugged out shirt which almost tore apart under my tight grip.

"Set me free~" His usual acting skills seemed to deceive him when he needed them the most. I could easily catch his obvious fake acts.

Being Kim Taehyung, he somehow found his way to victory and scurried away. "What a little bitch..." I mumbled before shouting, "Atleast brush your teeth, you...you—uh, whatever."

Having the room to myself, I stretched over the bed and few bones in my body cracked. From the little space formed by the foldings of the curtains, golden light peeked in straight lines inside my room.

It was difficult to fight back the temptation of following the rays. Sliding the silky cloth to open the curtains wide, I stood there leaning against the window pane.

Watching leaves falling down seemed to slowly become the cause of my euphoria. I was smiling like a maniac. The season demonstrated death in an alluring, fascinating way.

"I should've brushed my teeth." Taehyung broke through the door and made his way towards the washroom. For some reason, he glared at me before closing the door with a sigh of relief. He returned after some time while wiping his mouth. "You really have nothing better to do than standing here, Y/N?"

"You know what? Learn to mind your own business from the nature." I said with a hint of slight annoyance. I sat my eyes back on the sight outside just when a leaf detached from the tree and followed it's journey to sweet death which was inevitable for all. "Autumn is so beautiful, yet everything is dying."

"I didn't know you were so basic. Like, isn't that the most common quote of all time?" He asked while holding his stomach and laughing at his not-even-a-joke joke.

"The only thing I can rely on you for is ruining the mood. You have anything better and deeper?" I folded my hands over my chest, tilting my head with a cocky look.

"Of course I do." He all of sudden became serious and walked closer to the window. As I was leaning next to the window, he was ultimately walking closer to me too. "During the autumn, when everything is falling and dying, I fell too and learnt to live life in a better way. I fell for you."

A/N:- hey ya!
So Taehyung didn't want to tell Y/N what she did cuz he knew she will be hella embarrassed. Like c'mon TaeTae ain't heartless. Btw that autumn thingy which Taehyung spoke was written by me. How was it ??? I was kinda proud of my non-existing brain. Stay healthy and happy !!!
