It was a rainy night. My clothes were soaked and my breathing became heavy. Taehyung texted me, saying he needed my help. I thought he was injured or something so I ran out of my house without my sweater.

I was five minutes away from Taehyung's house but it seemed like an eternity. When I arrived, I didn't bother knocking. I just barged in.

"Taehyung!", I yelled out, trying to catch my breath.

I looked around but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Tae-"

"Shhh", he came from behind me and covered my eyes, whispering in my ear.

"Taehyung?? What happened?? Are you hurt??", I moved his hands from my eyes and turned to check on him.

"What? Why would you think I'm hurt?", he asked.

"Well you said you needed help..and you sounded like you were in trouble..", I said.

"Mmm...so you came running in the rain without a sweater?...does that mean you care about me?", he smirked.

"...you're not in trouble are you?", I asked.

"No. But I am lonely", he pouted.

"I'm not staying here", I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Ahh..you're still in my debt remember?", he smirked.

"That's not fair! I didn't ask you to save me from those men", I said.

"Where would you be if I hadn't helped you? Dead. And cuddling with me isn't that bad is it?", he asked.

"Yes it is", I said.

"Are you disobeying your master?", he stepped closer and placed his hand on my cheek.

The change of time in his voice made my heart beat fast. I hate that I have to call him master but the more I'm with him, the more I care about him..even though he was a jerk to me at first.

"..no..", I mumbled.

"No what?", he said.

"No..master", I said, my eyes glued to the floor.

He smiled and grabbed my hand to lead me towards his room. He took out a big shirt from his drawer and handed it to me.

"Put this on", he said.

"What about bottoms? I need some pants to sleep in", I said.

"Not tonight you don't. I'll keep you warm. Just put that on and I'll be waiting for you here", he said, patting the bed.

I went inside the bathroom and took off my clothes. When I had the shirt on, I felt a bit uncomfortable since I didn't have anything under. The shirt fits like a dress so when I hesitantly opened the door, I kept lowering the shirt.

"Wow, you look so good with my shirt on", he smiled.

"My clothes are wet..do you have anything I can wear under...", I blushed and looked at the floor.

He threw me a clean pair of boxers and sat back down on the bed. I quickly put them on and rolled my eyes as I saw Taehyung patting the space next to him. I groaned and got under the blankets.

His arm snaked it's way around my waist and pulled me closer to him. My back was facing him so he can't see my face turning red. He nuzzled his face in my neck and hummed.

"You smell so good", he mumbled.

I cleared my throat and tried to fall asleep but it was kinda hard to do that since his breath was hitting my neck.

"Can I ask you something?", he said. I nodded.

"Do you think of me as more than your master?..like do you have feelings for me?", he asked.

He noticed I stayed silent. He turned me around and his eyes widened when he saw tears.

"Am I hurting you?", he asked.

I shook my head. I couldn't speak. I felt like if I opened my mouth I would start bawling my eyes out.

"I think making you call me master was a bit out of hand. I shouldn't have teased you. If you want to leave, you can. I could take you back home. You can forget about that debt", he sat up.

He was about to go in the bathroom but there was something bothering me.

"You don't like me back, do you?", I said, causing him to stop walking.

"It's not that. It's actually the opposite. I just don't want to hurt you", he said.

"How are you gonna hurt me? I don't think you're dangerous", I said.

"Not physically. The last girl I was with, I broke her heart. I didn't turn out to be the guy she wanted. I got her hopes up. I don't wanna get your hopes up either. That why I asked if you had feelings for me", he said.

"I do have feelings for you. But I like you because you're you. You're the guy for me", I said.

"No I'm not. Just forget about me. I'm gonna end up hurting you", he said.

"I'm not leaving. And you can't make me. I wanna be with you", I said.

He walked back towards me and was about to speak but I pulled him down and kissed him. He pulled away and opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off again. It took him a while but he responded.

My hands went under his shirt. I could feel the warmth of his skin. My hands lowered until it was near the hem of his sweatpants.

"Wait", he grabbed my hands.

"What?", I said.

"If I say I'm not gonna hurt you, we can't do anything tonight. Not until the time is right", he said.

"Oh..sure..I understand.....master", I teased him.

He laughed and laid down next to me. He kissed my forehead and wrapped his arms around me. We fell asleep a few moments later.
