Chapter 5

“I won’t forget you, Y/N!” A smiling boy holding a heart origami said.

A smiling boy holding a heart origami

Smiling boy, heart origami

Boy, a heart origami

I suddenly woke up from my sleeping state, shocking the poor Dr. Oh who was quietly placing down my medicine on a table.

“Oh my, Y/N. You scared me.” He said, holding his chest while catching his breath.

I looked around the room. As every room looked like, it was white and reeked with the strong smell of alcohol. I looked at my hand which was connected to the dextrose.

“It happened again, didn’t it?” I asked Dr. Oh as I covered my face in embarrassment.

“Seriously, Y/N? first day of work and instead of treating patients, you are the one being treated. This is so freaking embarrassing.” I thought, mentally face palming in the process.

“It’s okay, Y/N. I’m fully aware of your illness. Do you mind telling me why you fainted?” He asked in a gentle manner.

I closed my eyes in hopes to remember the cause of this embarrassment.

“I-I don’t know what triggered it but my heart started to thump faster and louder and my h-head hurt and then black dots started to cover up my eyesight. The last thing that I remembered was an image of a heart origami.” I told him every single detail.

“Hmm… does anything feel weird?” He asked.

I thought for a bit before saying, “I don’t really feel weird.”

He clicked his tongue and flashed a genuine smile at me. “Don’t push yourself, Y/N. I’ll talk it over with your mom.” He said before standing up and making his way to the door.

“Umm… Dr. Oh?” I called for him and he instantly turned. “I already feel fine.”

“Oh… yeah.” He said and went to me. He took out my dextrose and ensured that I was already feeling fine.

“Are you really sure that you are okay?” He said for the nth time.

“I’m sure, Dr. Oh.” I said and he nodded in defeat.

“Alrighty then, Y/N. You are free to go back home.” He said.

“B-But… don’t I have to work?” I retorted.

“Na-ah. I don’t want my ass to get whooped by your mother. Now go home and just return tomorrow. Here…” He said and handed me a card.

“That’s my number. In case you have questions concerning about work, you can call me. Bye, Y/N.” He said then exited the room.

I looked at the card and sighed. “So much for your first day of work, Y/N.” I thought and grabbed my bag which was conveniently placed on a chair and made my way out of the room.

I stopped at the lobby and looked at the massive picture of my mother that was displayed there.

“Wow… mom never told me that she worked here.” I thought to myself with my mouth opened wide, amazed at the beautiful portrait of my mother.

“I should probably get going.” I said and exited the building. I face palmed myself when realization hit me.

“Oh shoot. I didn’t take my car with me, I have to wait for the bus.” I muttered to myself and was about to lazily walk to the bus stop when suddenly a mint green convertible stopped in front of me.

“Hi, Y/N!” The guy said and smiled at me.

He was very breathtaking, the literal definition of perfect in the form of a man. I couldn’t help but swoon at this man’s beauty.

He was clad in a plain white shirt that was topped off with a denim jacket. He got out of his car in a very attractive way – well for me at least.

He made his way to me. His look was finished with a pair of dark jeans and a pair of black high-cut converse.

I didn’t even notice that he was only a few inches away from me since I was busy gawking at this man’s beauty.

He took off his glasses and looked at me with a smirk. “Like what you see?” He said in a very cocky tone.

I was pulled back to reality. “Kim Taehyung?!” I was taken aback. I did not even this beautiful being would be the sicko who stole my first kiss.

“Who else?” He said and looked at me with a smirk. I swear I wanted to wipe that smirk off his amazingly handsome face.

I gave him a smile that was obviously forced, “Yeah, who else?”

He smiled. “I don’t even know if that’s a fake or a genuine one.” I thought to myself before rolling my eyes at him.

“It seems like you didn’t bring your car.” He said as if he was suggesting something.

“Yeah, I just took the bus today since I was too lazy to grab my keys which were inside the house. Plus, I was kinda running late so.” I ended it with a smile.

“No biggie, I’ll just take the bus home again.” I said and walked away from the man when I felt a hand grasp my arm and tug it.

I looked at Taehyung with confused eyes before muttering a low, “Let go.”

He let go of my arm and cleared his throat. “The next bus will arrive one hour from now.  I suggest you just ride home with me.” He said in a very polite manner.

I rubbed my eyes, “Woah, is this really Kim Taehyung.” I thought to myself.

“Well… I can wait.” I said in a merry tone. His small smile immediately dropped and was replaced with an sad expression.

“There are very dangerous people. Are you sure?” He asked me, another attempt to make me agree to ride with him home.

“I can protect myself.” I snickered. Watching this man attempting to make me agree is amusing.

He sighed in defeat and just grabbed my arm and made his way to the car. He stopped and opened the passenger door and looked at me, telling me that I should go in.

I looked at him in the eyes and he was dead serious, so I raised up my hands in defeat and went in. I put on the seatbelt while he went around and also went in the car.

I rolled my eyes before saying, “Happy?”

He snickered before saying, “Very” and started the engine.

The ride was very quiet – too quiet. It was a bit uncomfortable especially since Kim Taehyung is not normally this quiet.

I cleared my throat as an attempt to break this very awkward silence and said, “So, how did you know that I don’t have a ride home?”

“Well… we stayed in Jimin hyung’s house last night because they were too tired to travel last night. When I woke up and decided to go for a jog, I noticed that you left your car at your house. So, I went to your workplace and surprisingly came at the right time.” He explained in a cheery tone.

“Stalker-much, Kim TaeTae?” The nickname rolled off my tongue before I could even notice it.

I saw his grin getting wider in my peripheral vision. “I should really control my tongue.” I thought to myself.

I was starting to mentally scold myself again when he cleared his throat and immediately caught my attention.

“Am not!” He said defensively. “It ain’t my fault that you told us yesterday that you worked there.”

I grinned at the current tone of this man’s voice. “He’s like a baby that’s having a tantrum.” I thought to myself.

“I’M the one who’s doing a good thing here.” He continued which made me scoff.

Remembering the act that he had done to me last night, I became angry. “Well then, Mr. Nice Guy. It’s not so nice to go around and stealing people’s first kisses!” I suddenly exclaimed, anger soaring through my system.

“Don’t act like you didn’t enjoy it, Y/N.” He said in a cocky tone.

“I did NOT!” I shouted.

“If you didn’t then why did you not stop me?” He said and I felt him smirking.

“He has a point; why did I not stop him from kissing me? Moreover, why did I kiss him back? Why did you do that, Y/N?” I mentally scolded myself before ending it with a slight hmmph – indicating that I was sulking because I couldn’t say anything back to the annoying-ass man that is right beside me.

I decided to shut up and just look out to admire the beautiful trees. I grabbed my ponytail and took off the hair band that I used, letting my hair fly as the wind blew. I was calm and peaceful right now, but I was still sulking.

The man beside me probably felt my unhappiness because he suddenly cleared his throat. “I’m sorry.” He said; he was sincere which made my heart soft.

I wanted to say it’s fine then and there but my pride didn’t want me to so I just said, “For what?” spite still in my tone.

“For kissing you without consent.” He continued.

“What was I supposed to say? It’s okay, just don’t do it again? Bruh, that’s just ridiculous.” I accidentally blurted out loud, resulting in a very awkward silence between me and Taehyung.

He cleared his throat once more and said, “How about we stop for some ice cream later, will that make you feel any better?”

I instantly smiled at the mention of my favorite dessert in the world. “Make that two cups of mint chocolate and you’ve got yourself a deal.”

“Namjoon hyung and Seokjin hyung would instantly kill you right now if they heard you say that.” He said and chuckled.

I looked at him, puzzled, “Why would they?”

“They HATE mint chocolate so much.” This time, a hearty laugh exited Taehyung making my heart soft for this boy again.

“That much?”

“Yeah. We once had this debate about mint chocolate – if it should be a flavor or not. It was Namjoon hyung and Jin hyung against Hoseok hyung and Jungkookie.” He said while giggling. I couldn’t help myself but giggle at this man’s cuteness right now.

I scoffed at the next words that Taehyung said, “They even compared the taste of mint chocolate to toothpaste mixed with chocolate. They said that it would just taste the same.”

“Now that is SO not true. Mint chocolate is the best thing ever invented after sliced bread!” I remarked making him laugh.

We chatted about the debate. Laughter here, some arguments there, it was so fun that I didn’t realize that we were already in front of the ice cream shop.

The car came to a halt so I immediately looked up and my eyes instantly brightened at the sight of ice cream. “Ice cream!” I cheered and ran, I repeat, ran to the shop, leaving Taehyung in the car.

The smell of ice cream hit my nose and it felt like a dream. Ice cream has and always will be my favorite. I went to the counter and stared at the assorted flavors of ice cream that were displayed. I looked around till I spotted my baby – mint chocolate.

“Two cups of mint chocolate, please.” I said to the lady behind the counter who smiled at me and did exactly what I said.

I stared in awe as the lady scooped up perfectly round balls of mint chocolate and into my cup. I was too busy staring at my babies that I didn’t even notice the presence of Kim Taehyung who was right behind me.

He cleared his throat and I jumped in surprise. I looked at him, “What about you?” I asked.

“An apple soft serve topped with strawberry syrup, please.” He said to the lady nicely while I stared at him in awe. Noticing my stares, he asked me, “What?”

“You actually have manners.” I said before the lady called my name, handing me my babies. I ran off to one of the tables and sat there, escaping from the already red-faced angry Kim Taehyung that is approaching me with his ice cream, nibbling on it as he stared daggers at me.

“Yah! Respect me, I’m the one who’s paying for your food.” He said before taking a bite out of his soft serve.

I just shrugged my shoulders before taking a spoonful of mint chocolate. I closed my eyes, screaming internally about how yummy this tastes. After a few minutes of eating and chatting – well, mostly arguing, we went back to the car and started to make our way back home.

It was about to rain so Taehyung pressed a button and the cover of the car slowly made its way, eventually covering up the car and shielding us from the raindrops.

The sound of rain calmed me down and was somehow shutting down my system – meaning, it was making me sleepy. I felt my eyes getting heavier and heavier by the second.

Taehyung’s POV

There was a very awkward silence that enveloped the car. I was nervous because who wouldn’t be nervous if they were beside the one of the prettiest girls alive in the world. “Okay, that was kinda bit too much, Taehyung.” I muttered to myself.

I continued to drive, slower than usual due to the heaving rain that was currently pouring down. And somehow, that made my heart beat faster and louder than before.

“Okay, I think I need to get this stuff out of my chest.” I thought and readied myself, breathing in and out as if to remove all of my anxiousness away.

“Y/N, I know that this may seem a little bit early but,” I started. I close my eyes and exhaled for the last time.

I turned to the woman beside me and said, “I like you, may I court you?”

A/N:
