"Are you human or an angel? Oh Jesus, Babe. You're dazzling, babe. Sunglass, Babe. My mind is so out of it..."

When Hana came back, she held something behind her back, and she closed her eyes, looking at Taehyung intently, then closing her eyes tight again. Taehyung took that as a hint and closed his eyes. Soon enough he felt something soft in his hands.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a fluffy teddy bear, that looked especially loved, it's white fur not as stark white as it would be new, and a few threads missing from it's sewn on smile. The bear was kind of big, taking up his whole lap.

"Is this yours, Hana-ssi?" Taehyung said, looking up at her while absently hugging the bear.

She nodded, then pointed to it's paws. When Taehyung looked, he could see the word, 'chipmunk' etched on it's paws with thread. I reminded you of this bear?

By the time Taehyung looked up, Hana was messing with the TV, going through DVDs. She must want to watch something with him. Taehyung played with the bear's paws, watching Hana kneel on the floor, trying to see the buttons on the DVD player. He was thinking about getting up to help her, when she got up and went to sit next to Taehyung.

On her way, she offered him another cookie, Taehyung didn't put this one in his mouth all at once. But Hana giggled anyway, getting a cookie for herself. They're good. You're a wonderful baker, Hana. He wished he could convince himself to say it out-loud. He wanted to tell her, he really did, but it was harder then he thought. I don't want to say anything dumb.

The movie was currently running through commercials, the sound turned all the way down. He supposed they might always watch movies like this, since Hana's Mother and Father seemed to be able to hear, maybe they kept it like that to be fair to her. Because it wasn't fair. All the things Hana had never heard, would never hear, all the ways Jae-hwa picked on her because of it.

It wasn't fair how cruel life could be.

"Ah, Hana-ssi," He said, realizing she was already looking at him and could read his lips. "Does it...make you sad?"

Hana frowned. I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have asked. Hana pointed to her ear, mouthing, 'this?' When Taehyung nodded, she tilted her head. Looking up toward the ceiling for a second, her hair cascading as she did so. Then she nodded, before pointing to Taehyung's chest, then she smiled and pointed at him again.

Taehyung's eyes widened, he had a guess to what she meant, but didn't know if he should say it. "What?"

Hana held up a finger for him to wait, then reached over to the table by the other side of the couch, taking out a pad of paper that looked brand new and a pencil. Did she put that there for this? Hana wrote on it for a bit, then showed him what she wrote.

Yes, but you make me smile. You should smile more, Taehyung-ssi, it's cute.

Taehyung blushed, then licked his lips, "You should too, Hana-ssi." I like your smile, your smile is like sunshine, your laugh is like a song. No one should ever make you unhappy, I want to make you happy. Taehyung swallowed. "Your smile is pretty...You're very pretty."

Hana blushed, the pink flooding her cheeks looked like cherry blossoms on snow. I keep making you blush. Why do you keep blushing? Do you like me? What do you even see in me?

Taehyung couldn't believe he said it out loud, he thought she was very pretty, but it had been hard to say, he didn't know why, it was true, he thought she was the prettiest girl he'd ever met. I don't want you to think I'm...

Hana reached over and tickled him. Taehyung grinned almost automatically, his first thought was to stop, but it was Hana, he could trust Hana, couldn't he? He laughed as her fingers worked. Just her touch made his skin tingle with electricity.

"Ah, H-Hana!" He said in between laughing, realizing he was making the strangest sounds. I'm glad Hana can't hear it. "H-Hana-ssi! I..." Taehyung put the bear down and reached over and tickled her too. "That's not fair, Hana-ssi!"

Hana giggled and fell back on the couch, not able to keep tickling him, she was laughing so hard. The sound she made was like a squeak at first, then moved into more of a string noises that sounded akin to almost a toddlers laugh, it was so high pitched. It's so cute, it's so cute. Hana, you're so cute. How could anyone ever hurt you?

He kept tickling her until she pushed at his chest. And when he stopped, Hana still giggled, breathing hard to catch her breath.

Taehyung licked his lips, having realized he was still grinning. "Hana, are you okay?" He asked, she was taking a minute to catch her breath, still breathing hard after a bit. "I didn't mean to--."

Hana pushed his chest again, shaking her head, then mouthed, 'I'm fine.'

Taehyung backed away to let her sit back up. Oh God, what did I do? What does she think? What will she...? He bit his lip. He should have at least thought that out, actually run it through his mind once that just attacking her with tickles might not be something she'd like. He wished he knew at least the first thing about girls...about Hana. It hadn't even occurred to him that she didn't really have a way of telling him to stop if she was laughing like that.

Hana got up and got the DVD remote, pressing play on the movie. It was some kind of romantic comedy. Taehyung had never really watched on of those before, but even then, wasn't that type of movie...more suited for a date? Date...Date...This isn't a date, is it?

Hana sat next to him and pointed at her ears, then at the TV.

"What?" Taehyung asked.

She pointed at the TV, then pointed up, then at him, then his ears.

"Do I want the sound up?" He asked, Hana nodded in response. Taehyung shook his head. "It's alright." I want to know how you see it.

Hana smiled put the remote down next to her and leaned her head on Taehyung's shoulder. Taehyung's heart damn near jumped out of his chest. He could feel it practically hitting his ribcage with each beat. And then the sound he'd made. He'd gasped, maybe even flinched a little.

He peeked over to see her looking up at him. He licked his lips, "Are you okay, Hana-ssi?"

She nodded, not looking away from his eyes. Taehyung found he couldn't look away. She was so close. she couldn't have been more the few centimeters away.

Then Hana grinned and winked, hugging his arm with one arm.

Taehyung stuttered for a moment, trying to form a sentence that made sense, or at least something that wasn't just a noise. His heart was going to explode, he was sure, he was positive. Is this what love feels like? It hurts. Are you doing this on purpose, Hana? Taehyung swallowed. Hana was warm.

~~~

"How close are we talking, Taehyung?" Jimin asked.

After the movie was over, Hana's mom drove Taehyung home, since Hana had homework, and she'd have to wake up early for therapy for her arm before class. Hana had come along for the ride, giving him at least half of the cookies that were left over to take home. As soon as Taehyung came through the door, Jimin asked him to tell him exactly what happened--and he did, leaving out a few things, but he told him about when she leaned on his shoulder, because he didn't know what to do, or how to feel about it, or even what that meant, because that wasn't normal...was it?

"Hyung, you're like a girl at a sleepover, you know that, right?" Jungkook asked, elbowing Jimin, apparently having come over after school.

Taehyung took the plastic jar of cookies he was carrying into the kitchen, and Jimin and Jungkook followed. "I don't know..." He put the jar down on the counter.

"Must have been close enough that you seriously considered the 3 million babies possibility, otherwise your cheeks wouldn't be red right now." Jimin said, then pointed to the jar, "Mind if I have one?"

"God, Hyung, come in as subtle as a train wreck why don't you? Ruin another innocent mind." Jungkook said, rolling his eyes.

"Oh, come on, Taehyung knows where babies come from, he's 18." Jimin paused for a second. "You do know, don't you? How babies are made? Seriously, dude, can I have a cookie?"

Taehyung frowned. "Y-Yeah....I know...." I'm not a little kid. And why do you have to put it so bluntly, Jimin?

"Ok, then you'd know that when--."

"LALALALALA! I'm not listening!" Jungkook sang, putting his hands over his ears.

Jimin poked Jungkook's shoulder and raised an eyebrow. "Kookie, don't act like a baby, you know all this already."

Jungkook uncovered his ears. "Yeah, sure, whatever, hyung, I think you're missing the point, this was about Taehyung and Hana, remember that? Before it got to be about babies?"

Jimin's eyes widened. "Oooh! Right. But first... Tae, can I have a cookie?" Taehyung nodded and Jimin took a cookie. "Holy--! Bro, your wife makes excellent cookies." He said, after taking a bite, then he cleared his throat. "So how close was it?"

Taehyung shrugged. He wasn't so much thinking of distance other then the fact that she was close at the time.

Jungkook sighed, "Gossip-girl-hyung will never get anywhere by asking the same question." He took Taehyung by the shoulders, leaning in close to his face. "This close?"

Taehyung bit his lip, then shook his head. "It was closer."

Jungkook leaned closer. "Like this?"

"A little closer then that." Taehyung said, remembering hardly being able to see her mouth. Jungkook leaned in one last time, now close enough that their noses were maybe an inch apart, and Taehyung nodded minutely, "It was like this."

"Okay." Jungkook said. "From this distance, I can tell you for sure that she couldn't have read your lips very well, and you wouldn't have been able to read hers if she mouthed anything, sign language wouldn't have worked, the only thing to do at this distance really is--."

"Hana wanted to kiss you...!" Jimin said, mouth full of cookie in excitement.

Jungkook cleared his throat, pushing Taehyung away from him. It wasn't a hard push, it was probably because it was getting awkward that they were so close, and even Taehyung felt a little uncomfortable with Jungkook so close. "But she didn't, did she?" Jungkook asked, voice flat. "She never did, right?"

Taehyung tilted his head. "No, she just smiled."

Jimin groaned. "And you just sat there and didn't kiss her, I'm guessing." Jimin ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "I'm telling you, she absolutely wants you."

"But--."

"No, Taehyung, there's no denying that. I know how it works, next thing you know, she'll be bringing you lunches, and getting closer then she normally does, buying you chocolate, start wearing more makeup and trying to look nice around you--and then, Bam, you'll be making out behind the school during lunch break."

Taehyung bit his lip. She wouldn't do that. I can't even picture that. I can't do that. "Jimin...I don't..."

"Ugh! Why are you so thick-headed? She has a crush on you too, I'm not making it up, she loves you just as much as you love her, stop being an idiot."

Stop interrupting me, I wasn't going to say that. "I don't know how to ask her out."

Jimin blinked, and Jungkook smiled at Taehyung sympathetically. And there was a moment of absolute silence, where Taehyung just stared at Jimin. Since Jimin seemed to know so much about women.

"Like on a date?" Jimin asked.

A Date... "Yes. To the amusement park."

Jimin took a deep breath. "That's childish...but I guess she'd like it."

"Ah..." Taehyung licked his lips, maybe it was childish, but that's what kind of date he wanted to take her on, somewhere to make her smile. "But how do I ask?"

"Just ask, Taehyung, girls don't bite...normally. Make it more like an invitation to go with you, I'm sure she'll want to go, you've just got to set it up." Jungkook said, putting a hand on Taehyung's shoulder. "Maybe give her chocolate when you ask?"

He made it sound so easy, like it would just come out of his mouth and he'd be able to just ask just like that. What if she says no? What if she doesn't like the amusement park? I don't want her to think that I'm weird... He wasn't sure he could do it, even if he wanted to so much it hurt, rejection would hurt more.
