I told Taehyung everything, I couldn't keep it any longer. I have been staying away from everything and everyone for so long to the point where it was starting to effect my mental health but I couldn't do this for any longer. I trusted him, he was always there for me when I needed him and he was always a good listener just like Jimin. But I want to keep this only between us, I don't want the others to find out just yet.

After I told Taehyung my whole story, he suggested that we skip school and go out to eat together which I didn't refuse. I needed some time to refresh my mind, and what better way than to do it with him.

We managed to escape from school without being seen as Taehyung began guiding us to a little cafe. We were walking in silence, I didn't know what to say after my intense storytelling so I just kept silent and so did he. It was more of like a peaceful silence that I needed, a comfortable one.

We arrived at the cafe and entered it, I followed Taehyung to an empty table for two as we both sat down. The atmosphere was different, not awkward but different.

I avoided as much contact with him as possible. After revealing my biggest and darkest secret, I didn't know what reaction to expect for him.

What if he thinks of me as a murderer?

What if he also sees me as a monster?

What if he hates me and blames me like how...she did?

I'm broken from my chain of thoughts when I feel a warm, comforting hand place itself on mine.

I look up to meet with his gorgeous brown orbs, shinning under the sun coming through the window. His tan skin giving an amazing orange glow under the sun along with his shiny silky soft hair being the shiniest hair I've ever seen.

He gives off a gentle smile and comfortably moves closer to me.

"You have nothing to worry about, hmm? I'm here, I'll protect you. And don't think I'll call you a murderer like how she did. Through my eyes, you're nothing close to that horrible word."

I feel my heart begin to slowly race at his words and I felt little butterflies dance in my stomach.

A soft smile makes it way to my lips as his thumb makes contact on my skin, wiping off the lone tear that unknowingly escaped my eye.

I'm really grateful to have him, I never had anyone to trust after that incident so it was very hard for me to gain back the capability to trust someone.

But I know for a fact that I was careful with whom I trusted and if the only person I would risk trusting would be Taehyung, then I know I won't regret it.

A figure holding a menu, suddenly appears and asks for our orders which we kindly tell him.

After he leaves to get prepare our food, the different atmosphere from earlier, was now a warm one because of Taehyung's comforting words.

When our food arrives, we quietly eat it and once we're done, we leave the restaurant and decide to take a walk around the beautiful city of Seoul. Since it was almost sunset, the city looked even more prettier with the orange glow it had.

Walking in complete silence, I was lost in my own thoughts, that's until a sudden ringtone is heard and Taehyung immediately pulls out his phone, looking at the caller id before answering with a sigh.

"Hey hyung"

My eyes still stuck to the concrete footpath, I hear almost inaudible mumbling through his phone as Taehyung sighs again and hmms every few moments.

He says one last hum before cutting the call and letting his head fall. I notice his change in behavior so I turn to him and stop, to which he is taken aback by and copies my actions.

"Is something wrong?" I say with my voice coming out as a gentle whisper.

He smiles and shakes his head.

"No it's just Namjoon hyung was scolding me for skipping class and I also...kinda got a few hours of detention because the teacher found out about it."

My eyes widen as guilt rushes through my body. My eyes begin to brim with slight tears and I immediately embrace him a hug, with slight sobs.

Taehyung's eyes also widen but with worry as he's taken aback. He quickly breaks apart the hug and looks down at me, his thumbs wiping of my tears and concern written in his expressions.

"Y/n why...what happend? Why are you crying?"

"I-I'm sorry, you got detention because of me and...and I'm just sorry. You shouldn't have com--"

He crouches down to my level and continues wiping off the waterfall of tears that fall out my eyes.

"Y/n it's not your fault. Why would you even say that? You're my first priority, I don't care if I got detention. Besides this isn't the first time and it's just detention, nothing serious."

His eyes soften when a hiccup leaves my mouth, my nose, a cute pink tint and my eyes glossy.

"B-but you'll have to stay so many hours. All because of m--"

I immediately stop in between my sentence when I feel something quickly touch my lips. Something soft and warm which made my still glossy red eyes widen.

"Sorry, that was the only way to make you stop talking nonsense."

A tiny gentle boxy smile makes its way to his face and he giggles at my surprised state. I'm just frozen in spot, not being able to move and my breath stopping on its own.

"What? It was just a slight peck."

My heart begins to race at his words and I feel many miny butterflies in my stomach which only get worse when his boxy smile grew bigger.

"Come on let's go from here, it's getting late."

He suddenly get's back up from his crouched position and grabs my small hand in his big one, dragging the both us out of here.

While he continues to drag me, I'm lost in my own world, still not being able to wrap my head around what just happened.

He just...kissed me? He stole my first kiss...

He actually kissed me.

A smile spreads across my face at the thought, butterflies dance around my stomach and my heart that had calmed down a bit, began to race again.

Since I was lost in my thoughts, again, I didn't realize where Taehyung was dragging us until we came to a stop.

I look up only to be shocked when my eyes land on the secret mansion. Why are we here?

"Uhh Taehyung why are we here?"

"Let's stay here for the night and have a sleepover. Since it's the weekday, the others aren't here so we'll have the whole place to ourselves!"

He excitedly jumps and takes out the key, opening the gate while dragging me along.

I don't object the idea, I mean I live alone and have nothing to do at home so it will be fun to stay with him.

As he unlocks the main door, I take off my shoes and enter inside the mansion with a smile.

I take my schoolbag and place it neatly in the corner before comfortably sitting down on the living room sofa.

I feel the space beside me dip down indicating the presence of a very somebody and hear him let out a big sigh.

"Today was very tiring. Finally I get to sit down."

He says and closes his eyes with a small smile on his face. I copy his actions and the room falls quiet, the only sound heard were our small breaths.

Suddenly, I feel something rest on my shoulders and then some hands wrap around my waist creating a nice sensation of warmth.

I slightly peak open one eye only to find Taehyung cuddling me with his head on my shoulders and eyes closed along with a knowing smile.

I couldn't help but soften at the sight, he looked so adorable and his fluffy hair was tickling my neck.

I unknowingly let my hands make their up to his fluffy hair and begin to play with it. He brings me closer and cuddles me tighter.

The butterflies from earlier come back and dance around my stomach. My heartbeat was beating a bit faster than normal but I just ignore it and enjoy the quiet moment peacefully.

~~~

I move around a bit to a loud sound that was continuously ringing. When I realize it was my phone, I immediately open my eyes and grab my phone to turn off the sound not to wake up the sleeping person that was still cuddling me.

I checked the time and it was 7pm, I had unknowingly fell asleep with him still on me.

I look over to find him peacefully sleeping with his arms still wrapped around my waist and his head now slightly falling off my chest.

I carefully unwrap his arms and lay him down in a more comfortable position on the sofa. I quickly grab my phone and head towards the kitchen not to wake him up as I pick up the call without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?"

"Is this Kang Y/n?"

"Yes this is her speaking."

"Well this is your building's landlord, I would like to inform you that your rent is due."

My eyes widen when those words leave his mouth, I completely forgot to pay the rent. But...I have no money left.

I quickly clear my throat before talking again.

"Umm I actually can't pay it right now. Could you please give me some time to pay it?"

I nervously wait for his response. This isn't the first time I had passed my rent's due date and I'm afraid that if a ask him again, he might kick me out.

I hear him let out a sigh before finally speaking.

"Okay fine, but I won't give you more than a month."

A sigh of relief leaves me and I place my hand on my racing heart.

"Thank you so much."

"Hmm. Goodbye."

I say goodbye and hang up the call. I was so happy that I got extra time, but the happiness disappeared when I realized that I need to get a job now.

I had a scholarship for school so I didn't need to pay the expensive tuition and the school had also offered me the apartment I'm currently living in but they changed the rules two months ago so now I had to pay with my own money.

I sigh and decide to worry about this later, right now I'm here to be worry free so I'll start looking for a job later.

I start walking back into the living room and see Taehyung still peacefully sleeping on the sofa. I take a few steps closer and crouch down to the point where our heads were on the same level.

I slowly place my head on the sofa, not realizing how close our faces were, and begin to admire his beautiful features up close.

He looked ethereal, I could never stop admiring his face even if I get to see it every day.

I was so happy to have finally let out everything that had kept me from living a normal life. It felt great to know that I have someone who was there for me when I needed them. After I had my trust broken, I thought I would never be able to trust again but, Taehyung showed me that there are still people out there you can actually trust, and that person is him.

"I know I'm too handsome to resist."

His voice suddenly breaks me from my thought as he slightly opens his eyes and a smirk makes it way to his lips.

My eyes enlarge and I instantly get up from my crouching position to a standing one but, I'm suddenly pulled back by a hand on my arm causing me to fall on the sofa.

"T-Taehy--"

I'm cut off when he lays me down beside him and wraps his big muscular arms around me, making my head land on his chest.

I'm taken by surprise at his actions as my heart begins to rapidly beat in an abnormal rate. His scent was intoxicating me and I was stiff in my spot.

"Why do you look so stressed hmm?"

I'm brought back to reality when he speaks in his raspy deep voice, his chest heaving up and down every time he breaths as I finally realize what he asked me.

"It's...it's not that important right now."

He brings me closer to his chest as his arms take mine and wrap them around his body.

Saying I was shocked could be an understatement but I wasn't rejecting it. I slowly began to relax to his touch. It felt good to be in his presence and his warmth brought comfort.
