Chapter 15: First Times and Second Chances (final chapter)
Mihyun POV
-flashback-
"Are you ready to leave?" I peaked my head into the bathroom and asked Taehyung who stood in front of the mirror, fixing the way his tie looked.
"Yeah, we just have to make a short stop at my apartment, I need to grab the correct shoes." I giggled an okay at him and walked into the bathroom beside him. Turning to face him I placed my hands on top of his own warm ones to fix his tie myself. He looked down at me with a soft smile as his hands fell to caress my arms as I fixed his tie. I looked up smiling, signaling I was finished, and he leaned down to press a tender kiss against my forehead.
"You look stunning, Babe," his warm voice hushed into my ear. I felt my cheeks heat as I stepped back and pulled him out of the bathroom.
"Let's go, handsome, we're going to be late." I chuckled. My simple black high heels clicking on the floor as my burgundy dress hugged my curves, it's long and delicate lace sleeves wrapped around my long arms.
Locking the door to my apartment and shoving my keys into my purse, we made our way down the stairs and climbed into his car, driving back to his apartment.
"Alright, I'll be right back. And if any of the boys somehow makes their way out here before I'm back, don't say anything or open the window, they're like leeches and we'll be late." He chuckled out before leaving the car. I laughed at his statement but knew that there was at least a little bit of truth in it.
About three minutes later, I watched as Taehyung ran out of his apartment shoes in hand, and Hoseok and Jimin trailing not far behind. I laughed at them as Taehyung threw himself into the car and drove off before the two could stop us. I giggled and turned around, waving at them through the window. Looking over at Taehyung, he had finally caught his breath.
"That was close. Good thing they didn't realize you were in the car until I was already out the door." he breathed out. I giggled and nodded.
Just then a text came through my phone. I looked at the contact and rolled my eyes.
Jimin: Mihyunnnnnnnnnnn, why didn't you say hi to us! TT
Me: I'm sorry Jiminie, but we are running a bit late. I wish I could have, but I'll probably see you soon anyways
Jimin: Fineee. Well, have fun and tell Taehyungie that he shouldn't worry, because if your parents are anything like you, then he'll do just fine
Me: Okay, I will, and tell the boys I'll see them soon and I'm sorry I missed you this time
Jimin: Okay, Bye! Have fun!
"Jimin says not to worry," I said to Taehyung.
He huffed out in response "As if that's possible."
I giggled, "They are going to adore you, Tae. Just be yourself and they won't have any choice but to like you because you are such an amazing person," I said sincerely. He glanced over at me quickly and moved his hand to encase my own on top of my leg, his warmth radiating into me.
"Well at least I'll have you by my side," he said, giving my hand a light squeeze.
"Always," I smiled and replied.
Not long after, we had arrived at the restaurant at which we would be meeting my parents for dinner. They had texted me just moments before to let us know they had arrived and spotted them at a table. We made our way over and both my parents stood up to engulf me in hugs. My hand remained entangled with Taehyung's as my parents pulled away, looking behind me to Tae.
"Mom, Dad, this is Taehyung, my boyfriend," I smiled warmly at him and pulled him closer.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Lee," He reached his hand out to both my parents, shaking both of their hands with a fond smile on his face.
Taehyung POV
I looked at Mihyuns mother and immediately noticed the small similarities between them. Her long dark hair and kind, warm eyes. Shaking hands with her father, I recognized that she and her father shared the same smile.
"Shall we take out seats?" Mihyun asked from behind us, her hand still within my own. We all nodded and took our seats. I sat beside Mihyun and across from her father.
"So, Taehyung, I've heard from our Mihyun that you are a singer?" Mihyun's mother started, sending a gentle smile my way. Clearing my throat and feeling the way Mihyun tightened her grip on my hand, I smiled and replied, "Yes, that is right. I am a vocalist in a K-pop group by the name of BTS."
"Oh! I've heard some of your music, and I've seen that you guys are quite popular overseas," Mrs. Lee responded.
"Ah, yes. We've gained quite a number of international fans with our last few promotions," I said gaining a nod of approval from both her parents.
"How did you two meet?" Mihyun's father spoke up.
"Well, we were doing a photoshoot and Mihyun had happened to be our photographer. I was mesmerized by her beauty and kindness towards us while taking our pictures and asked her on a date after the shoot ended," I timidly replied, worried for some reason. I looked at Mihyun, whose face had gone red as a tomato.
"Awwww that's so cute!" Mihyun's mother gushed.
As the night went on, my nervousness had quickly melted away and the four of us enjoyed comfortable and genuine conversations. My hand remained with Mihyun's until our food arrived but went right back after the dishes were cleared. The time had seemed to fly by as we talked and talked, not noticing how late it was getting.
"Well, it is getting rather late," Mihyun's father said after a little while of silence which caused us all to realize how tired we actually were and that it was close to 10 pm, the kitchen of the restaurant we were in, having closed a half hour ago.
"Yes, we'd better get back home," Her mother replied, standing up from her chair. We all walked to the front of the building and out into the brisk night air.
"It was absolutely wonderful to meet you Taehyung. We will look forward to seeing you again. Please take care of our Mihyun for us." Her mother said to me, placing a hand on my shoulder, behind her Mihyun's father nodded in agreement with a smile.
"The pleasure was all mine. I look forward to seeing you again as well and I will take good care of Mihyun." I replied. Her mother nodded and she and her husband hugged Mihyun goodbye before turning to get their car.
Mihyun and I wordlessly made our way to my car and climbed in.
"Well, that went well," I said, still happy about the way it turned out.
"I'm so happy," She replied gleefully, "Even my Dad really liked you."
"I know. I'm glad that he did." I yawned after. "But it's getting late. You should get some sleep." She yawned in response and I started the car, turned the radio on to a low volume. We drove in a peaceful and warm silence. Mihyun's airy hums could be heard in time with the songs on the radio and the few cars on the road with us at this hour drifted by.
It was about a thirty-minute drive and I was about halfway to Mihyuns apartment when I looked over to see her leaning against the door, her eyes still wide open as she gazed at the stars through the window of the car. I moved my hand to rest on her leg and felt her soft skin. Her dainty hand landed on top of mine and she flipped it over to lace her fingers through mine.
"Taehyung?" her voice quietly spoke.
"Yes?" I asked, glancing over to see her eyes gleam with the reflection of the dashboard lights. Her hand got tighter around my own as she looked at me.
"Taehyung, I love you," she spoke.
My heart seemed to stop for a moment as I was blanketed in a layer of immense happiness and love for her as well. Looking into her hopeful eyes beside me, I didn't hesitate to reply, saying it for the first time without doubting myself,
"I love you too, Mihyun."
Her posture seemed to relax as she let a contagious smile creep its way over her face. She brought my hand up to her blushed cheek and leaned into it, warmth sizzling between us.
Not long after, we had arrived at the entrance to her apartment and she had stuck her key into the door, unlocking it and standing in the doorway.
"It's quite late, Tae. Why don't you just stay here?" Her voice seemed timid but was laced with a bit of confidence at the same time. I looked at her eyes which stared right back into mine, but there was something new in them. Something unknown and uncharted for the two of us.
Without much warning, I stepped forward, placing one hand on her waist and the other snatching the keys from her grasp. Surprised, she stepped back, allowing me space to walk forwards. I closed and locked her door behind us. Her eyes pierced into my own as we stared at each other for what seemed like forever before I reached my hand to wrap around the back of her neck and pull her into myself, connecting our lips in a kiss. Her arms wound themselves around my neck, as my fingers crawled into her hair and my arm pulled us closer together. Our mouths worked together, warm and soft lips against lips.
Mihyun POV
I smoothed my hands down the back of his neck, pushing off his blazer in the process. My hands made their way to the muscles in his back, feeling them through the thin fabric of his shirt. His large hand spread over the small of my back, bracing me against his form.
He stepped the forward, gently letting my back hit the wall next to the door. His hand moved to lay on the surface beside my head while his other one remained tangled in my hair. My hands moved up and down over his back, feeling and memorizing every inch before moving up to the collar of his white button down.
His burning lips made their way down my jaw to the sensitive skin behind my ear, kissing all the way to my exposed collarbone. His teeth grazed over the area, leaving tender open-mouthed kisses along the unmarked skin.
My fingers slowly worked down his torso, unbuttoning his shirt to expose his toned body. My hands reached to feel his burning skin against my own as they roamed beneath his shirt. His hands trailed down my sides to behind my thighs, effortlessly lifting me away from the floor and wall.
His lips molded to mine again as I wrapped my legs around him, pulling us closer. He carried me to my bed and sat down with me on his lap. Smoothing a hand down my back, we fell into the fluffy comforter and pillows, our lips never parting. I combed my fingers through his soft hair and smoothed my hand over his waist, beneath his shirt.
Pulling away for air, he reached a hand up and tenderly tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, caressing my cheek as my hands met each other behind his neck.
"I love you, Mihyun," his ocean deep brown eyes searched mine for any hesitation. But I knew there was none to be found.
"I love you too, Taehyung." My body felt as if it was glowing with love. His gentle and warm hands made their way to the zipper of the dress I wore and I slid his shirt off his shoulders.
From that point on, the only thing I could comprehend was the endless amount of love I felt for him and the way his warm hands held my body as if there was nothing he held more dear to his heart apart from the love that tangled between us.

Mihyun POV
I stood in my apartment, wondering who could be knocking on my door right now. The only conclusion I came to was Soohyun but I cursed at the fact that there was no peek hole in the door so that I could see who it was.
The knocking started again and I snapped back to reality, walking over to the door. Slowly, I opened it, expecting completely for it to be Soohyun, ready to yell at me for running away without telling her what was going on.
Swinging it open I looked up to meet the eyes of the person who stood there. His hypnotizing eyes pierced into mine like daggers. I stood in my doorway, stunned and staring at the last person I expected to see at my doorstep. He slowly took a step forward, as if approaching a scared animal.
"Mihy-" His voice was quiet and fragile before I cut him off.
"What are you doing here, Taehyung?" My own voice was even more fragile as my eyes began to water, the tears starting to gather and threatening to spill. One managed to slip from my eye and slid down my face.
He stepped farther into my apartment, closer to me, before hesitantly reaching a hand up to cup my cheek as he swiped my tear away with his thumb. Instinctively, I leaned into him. I missed his touch. His other hand came to rest on the other side of my face, wiping all the tears from my cheeks.
"Please," he begged, "I can't stand seeing you cry because I know it's all because of me," His voice was broken as he continued to stare into my eyes.
"What are you doing here, Taehyung?" I whispered to him again, letting my tears drown my voice.
"I-," he stopped as if fighting with himself, "Mihyun, I need you."
My eyes widened at his words as I was hit by a wave of confusion mixed with a bit of reality. I pulled his hands away from my face, stepping back before replying to him. I let everything out.
"But I forgave you! I texted you and called you, but you blocked me out! You made a mistake but I told you I knew it wasn't your fault and you still pushed me away. I trusted you but began to have my doubts when you wouldn't even say a word to me. I knew you didn't love me anymore and it only confirmed my thoughts when I saw you kiss that girl in the bar. It was like my heart was being shattered all over again because I still had hope that you had feelings for me. And no matter how hard I try, I can't get over you. No matter how many times I go out with friends or even if I go out and have a few drinks and kiss another guy, I imagine you," I let my voice crack and break as I spoke to him. I saw the way his eyes swirled with emotion, allowing it to spill down his face in the form of tears.
"I tried, Mihyun. I tried so hard to get myself back to you, but I couldn't look at you or think about you without feeling so much guilt. I couldn't live with the fact that I let that happen and hated myself for telling you to leave when you had already forgiven me. No matter how hard I tried to stop thinking about you, you always made it back into my mind," By now, we were both letting our tears fall freely.
His eyes locked onto mine once again, "I can't live without you, Mihyun. My heart won't heal because I never stopped loving you." I let him place his hands on my waist and neck as he pulled me against him, pressing our bodies together. I couldn't help but melt into him. The scent I longed for and the way my heart seemed to pump so much faster when he was around. With his arms still wrapped around me, our lips melded together. We moved in sync, letting the love we still had for each other take control. Finally pulling away from each other for a gasp of air.
"I've seen what life is like without you and I can't live like that. I love you, Mihyun. I always have and I always will," He whispered in my ear, wrapping his arms around me tightly. I hugged him back, letting my arms pull him closer to me before leaning up to respond.
"I love you too, Taehyung."
