V's POV

Park Eun-ah.

My heart seemed to clench inside everytime she heaved a sigh, or sobbed, or let a single tear roll down her red, rosy cheeks. I couldn't just leave her out there, crying in the rain... So I brought her back to my place. My parents and siblings were asleep, so I basically snuck her in... I know, I know, I will probably get grounded for a month for sneaking a girl into the house, but what could I do?

I couldn't leave her.

She trembled as I gently dried her hair with a towel, and I kept muttering that everything would be okay, over and over again.

"You can take a shower... If you want," I tried sounding as normal as possible, but for me, that was difficult. "You can borrow some of my clothes, and I'll leave yours in the dryer."

Quietly, she thanked me, then she did something that startled me...

She hugged me.

Trembling from sadness, her body shook but I didn't mind. I wanted to be the one she could count on; even if she didn't like me back, the feeling of her just being around me made me happy. But seeing her sad like this, made me want to hurt the one responsible. I gritted my teeth, but said nothing as I led her to my connected bathroom door.

"I'll be right here if you need anything."

Eun-ah nodded, giving a soft, sad smile before closing the door behind her. After she went in, I changed into a simple T-shirt and basketball shorts, then I stayed up, waiting to make sure she was okay before i went to sleep.

30 minutes... An hour... I sat with my back pressed against the bathroom door, waiting and waiting to know if she was okay. I could hear her sobs, they were quiet, but I could still hear them over the running water.

Standing up, I knocked on the door.

"Eun-ah? Eun-ah, are you okay in there?" I ask softly, leaning my head against the door. Soon, the water shuts off and the sound of the shower curtain moves. A few minutes later, Eun-ah steps out, wearing the clothes I laid out for her, but her body is still damp.

I chuckled half-heartedly. I grabbed the towel I was going to use, and drape it gently around her head.

Carefully, I dried her hair, muttering the same sweet nothings over and over. Then, after I was finished, I wrapped my arms around her, embracing her in a hug.

"You shouldn't cry over a guy like that... He doesn't deserve you."

She sniffled, slowly hugging me back.

"Eun-ah, believe me when I say this... But I love you. It pains me to see you like this, it pains me to know that someone is capable of making you feel this way. If you were mine, I'd make sure you were never sad, or crying, or--"

"Taehyung," She whispered. "That's only if..."

"I could make it real, then it wouldn't just be an 'if'." I say sincerely, gently resting my chin on top of her head. "I can love you more than he does... And even if your feelings for him haven't changed, I can try and keep trying until you love me back. I can love you even when you can't love yourself."

"Tae--"

"Just think about it okay?" I cut her off. "I won't pressure you."

Slowly, I let go of the hug and patted her head. "Gets some rest okay? You can take the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."

She shifted nervously. "Can you sleep next to me? I'm sorry.. I just.. I can't be alone right now."

My answer came out into an awkward stutter. She scooted over, sliding underneath the covers, and hesitantly I laid down beside her. As she got comfortable, I was as awkward as usual, not knowing what to do.

"Thank you," she muttered quietly, gently placing a kiss on my forehead.

My heart rate seemed to quicken..

"N-No problem," I stuttered.

I waited until she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep before closing mine to make sure she would be okay. This was real... It wasn't a dream.

She was real.

It wasn't a dream.

Eun-ah's POV

With the sun streaming through the curtains, I woke up, finding myself in an unfamiliar room. I felt the area beside me and to my surprise, it was empty. Where's V?

After rubbing my eyes, I finally got to see his room. Last night it was dark, and I was kind of out of it to notice, but V....

V's a total fanboy.

His room was neat, and what surprised me the most was his collection of comic books. Shelves were lining along the wall, all filled with mangas, comic books, and anime DVDs. And his posters... He had various groups hung on his wall. In fact the walls were covered with posters. SNSD, Wonder Girls, IU, SECRET, and even Ailee were all staring back at me as I examined V's room.

I giggled to myself.

Slowly I got out of bed, stretching and yawning before walking out to search for V. The smell of freshly made rice hit me as I stepped out of his room. His house was pretty big... As I made my way downstairs, I noticed a picture hanging on the wall. It was V, but with two younger kids and his parents...

He has a nice family..

I bit my lip, it reminded me of mine...

As I walked down the stairs I could hear V speaking with his parents.

"You had a girl in your room last night??" A shrill voiced asked, I'm guessing it's his mother.

"Way to go son!" The father praised.

V's mother smacked his father's arm playfully and a smile krept to her lips.

"Mom, stop," V whined. "It isn't like thattttttt. Please, just.... just please don't embarrass me okay? I really, really like her."

"Is that her right there?" His father asked as he pointed in my direction. I hid behind the wall, only to hear an awkward chuckle from V. V walked towards me and pulled me to him. He hugged me, and awkwardly I hugged him back.

"I'm sorry for leaving you this morning, but my family wants to meet you... Is that okay?"

Hesitantly, I nodded and then he led my back to the kitchen where everyone was currently situated.

His parents smiled brightly when they saw me, and his siblings just looked at their older brother in awe. I bowed and awkwardly waved.

"Hello, I'm Eun-ah. It's very nice to meet you."

Stared.

They stared at me..

V's mother smiled again and then came to hug me. "You're so cute!! I'm Taehyung's mother Rin-ka, but you can call me mom!"

"Mom!" V whined. "STAHP."

"I'm just teasing her dear~ Afterall, she's going to be my daughter-in-law one day."

"What?" I blinked.

"Just kidding," Rin-ka said teasingly. "This is my husband, Chanhyun. And the two rascals at the table are Tae-Chan and Taerin."

"Hi! I'm Tae-Chan~ Can I call you noona?"

"I'm Taerin. Unnie, are you dating my oppa?"

I smiled. "No, I'm not. And yes, you can call me noona."

V groaned, placing a hand over his face. "I'm really, really sorry about them... They're usually not this embarrassing I swear. After breakfast, I'll take you home okay?"

I nodded, following him to the dining table.

"Rin-Ka, do you need any help?" I asked.

"Oh no dear," She beamed. "But thanks for asking. Taehyung I like her already~"

"Mom!"

I giggled. It was nice seeing a happy family again... I haven't seen one in so long.

As we all got situated at the table, I sat inbetween V and Tae-Chan and when the food came, I thanked his parents.

"Thank you for letting me eat with you," I said nervously, but his father waved it off.

"It's no problem. So how have you been Eun-ah? Rin-Ka and I haven't seen you since you were little." Chanhyun said, causing me, Rin-Ka, and V to look at him strangely.

"Wait, we've met before?" My brows furrowed.

"A few years ago, I believe," Chanhyun informed. "Your father used to be a good friend of mine. He invited us to go to your ballet recital, 5-6 years ago?"

My eyes widened. That was just before the accident.... I swallowed down the lump in my throat and forced a smile.

"Oh, I remember dear!" Rin-Ka announced. "The Park family! How are your parents doing? I haven't seen them in so long."

I began to push around the food on my plate. "Um... They passed away after the performance that night...." SIlence. The room became silent. "I-It was raining that day so the roads were slippery... The other car was on the wrong lane and..."

I could feel the tears build up in my eyes, but I wouldn't let them fall.

"I-I'm sorry. Thank you for the food, but I think I should leave now..." I began to get up, but V grabbed my wrist.

"I'll walk you out."

Hesitantly I nodded. I bowed and thanked them again for the food, but they merely stared at me sympathetically instead.

I went up to V's room to grrab my stuff, then hurried out the door, but before I could make it to the front steps, V grabbed my wrist.

"Please..." I sniffled. "Please let me go..."

V cupped my face, staring into my eyes, as if he were searching for an answer. He wiped a tear away with the corner of his thumb and smiled sadly.

"It'll be okay, alright? Please don't cry... Do you want me to walk you home?"

"No just..." I sniffled again, slowly taking his hands off my face. "Please don't tell anyone, about my parents I mean..."

"I-I won't." V wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly. "Eun-ah, I love you."

"I know."
