Days passed, almost a week already as the day after tomorrow, Taehyung is finally returning to the organization but in the previous days, we kept on indulging ourselves with our normal life. Of course, Taehyung took me to various places everyday, we even went to the slurpee point again.

Everyday he made me feel special, he made me realize how fun it is to go out with him. The normal life he showed me, I agree that it is quite fun living this way.

Or especially with his presence.

Jungkook and me sometimes argued but most of the time we were cuddled into each other due to absence of parental care. Being quite old but still being deprived of such care did make us responsible and independent but not emotionless.

Jungkook drops me at my classes on his motorbike everyday as I told Taehyung, even though I have insisted many times already that I am alright on going alone but he straightforwardly declines, for whatever reason he thinks.

Then again Taehyung drops me back home without Jungkook's due notice- my brother was always out when I reached back home so he didn't get to know about it.

"Hey Goeun, what's up?" As casually as he can, Taehyung jogs beside me - my bag rushing sideways due to the intensity of his steps.

Taehyung is a source of attraction, there is no way that he will do a thing without bringing any unnecessary attention towards him. Aera has told me a lot of time to keep myself indulged with him but everytime I think about doing so, I fear that everyone will get to know about our little secret.

I am paranoid, I know and I can't do anything about it.

"Going home, you?"

"I thought if we can crash in your house or something," He asks, his boyish grin sends sparks down my heart, but I really have to control the involuntary smile that is descending on my face. "Like play video games, have fun?"

"Yeah, cool," I shrug casually while looking everywhere other than him. Things have started becoming somewhat awkward, I am not able to take a hold on my feelings.

I mean, what can I expect when literally Kim Taehyung is sitting beside me?

"Come on, I will give you a ride," Forcing his hands in his pocket, he casually runs forward while guiding me to his vehicle which I am quite unaware of.

And when a red, vintage car appears in front of me, my mouth opens wide open.

Hold up, he can actually drive a car?

"Oh yeah, I can drive. Don't think so little of me," His expressions displays hurt but what has caught my attention is the car who door is being opened by his owner- Taehyung.

"Let's go, shall we?"

My expressions takes a huge turn, and just as the sound of the car's engine resonates, my dopamine level reaches its surge as a giggle escapes my mouth.

"Wow, this car is awesome!" My brain's exact thoughts comes to my tongue, speaking the oblivious.

"My grand dad's property, I absolutely loved this star when I was small so we used to have road trips frequently. His last wish was to hand me this car, always cherish the memories that we shared and remain happy forever, even in his stead."

Although sad, but a constant smile remains on Taehyung's face as he drives the car. It is the proof that he loves and cherishes his grandpa forever. Even though, he is not with him anymore but his grandchild is always going to remember him in his heart.

And how much I am cherishing this is beyond any word. This is priceless.

But I think I got much absorbed in my feelings that I didn't notice the car coming at a stop, my house in the view and Taehyung staring at me with a small smile plastered on his face.

When he taps my nose with his index finger, that is when my senses is returned back to me as my instant reflex is to look around, especially at him.

Adding more fuel to my previous embarrassment, Taehyung chuckles playfully and ruffles my hair in a mess.

"We are already home, honey."

He says with an ideal smile on his lips and there is no way my heart is not beating at a speed of 90 per minute. This boy makes me so flustered, even with his mere actions and words.

I undo my seatbelt, grab my bag, open the door and slam it directly into his face and rush towards my house's door- everything happens in less than a minute.

I don't even wait for him to get down his car at a normal human pace, but he comes giggling and chuckling the entire way to my door.

"Feel at home, I will bring some snacks."

Taehyung settles himself on the couch as his eyes roams around the photo frames and the decoratives.

Meanwhile I turn the faucet on and splash some cold water on my face to bring some sanity back into me. What is actually happening to me?

He is just a normal colleague, nothing more so these emotions are not necessary.

Calm down.

Whoooshhh.

Let's go.

After grabbing drinks and crisps from the fridge and containers respectively, I make my way back to the living room. But Taehyung is no more on the couch, the place where I left him before.

He is actually eyeing my game sets and play stations as I can't literally see drool flowing down his chin.

"Taehyung?"

"Goeun! Is these yours?" His eyes sparkles like a baby has finally found his long lost toy, I can't help but nod while smiling. "Shared by Jungkook and me."

"You guys are so lucky, my mom doesn't let me buy more than one. She says it's just a waste of money," It's surprising but I think I just heard him whining and complaining about how aunty doesn't agree to fulfil his wishes.

"Don't worry, you can come here and play anytime," Throwing him a thumbs up, I hand him his share of snacks and we get sprawled across the sofa.

"Oh no, I don't want you to get scolded by your parents because of me," He sincerely expresses his concern but I shrug nonchalantly.

"They aren't here."

He frowns. "They live elsewhere? Abroad?"

But I shake my head. "They are no more."

And the amount of concern that he displays is beyond any expression.

"I am so sorry, Goeun. I didn't know- heck I didn't even have an idea about-"

"Relax, Tae. I am okay. This doesn't bother me much now," I softly grab his hand in mine to soothe his hyperventilation.

"Alright, so do you mind?" He asks, still hesitantly while biting his lips. I shake my head, yet again. "Absolutely not, not with you."

"When did you becomes an agent?" He questions while plopping a crisp in his mouth.

"I was quite small, may be 7. Jungkook was 10 at that time."

Recalling the past is sure as heck a tough thing to do. It's like scratching a piece of information from your brain that you no longer opens but then suddenly you have to and loads of memories comes descending upon you.

"What? Such a tender of 7 and 10? How did you guys even manage?" Shock his overlapped in his tone, his expressions are nothing less than that too.

"We only started our training that time, officially we started completing missions when we turned 18- no risk should be taken."

"What reason brought you to the organization? Like obviously you weren't recruited at that age," He raises his eyebrow in utter confusion.

"This question has a story, I don't know if it is true or not but according to an ex-agent- when he was combating with a group of murders, he found me in the woods when I was 7. Literally bawling my eyes out with blood oozing out of my skin, all I was screaming was for my parents. Then he took me to the organization and they were surprised to know that my brother is already being trained as an agent. Then they decided to train me too and after I get more matured, they will ask me if I want to be an agent. I mean the same things that I said in the meeting on your first day."

"Oh well, that must be quite a shock for the 7 year old child. Deprived of parents, being trained for god knows what. Harsh," He mumbles as I let out an expressionless sigh.

"To be honest, I don't have any memory of those days. It's like it was wiped off my brain," I raise my hand and touch it to my head. Water arises in my eyes, and this is the proof that no matter what I say about how my past doesn't affects me anymore, it actually hurts my heart to remember anything.

"Nothing is in there, just empty. The first thing that I remember is the day I was asked to become an agent. There was nothing for me in this normal world, even my brother was already an agent here so I just agreed to everything, every rule."

Taehyung looks directly in my eyes, with his turned down in sadness and slowly, his hand reaches mine as he gives it a comforting squeeze.

"I am sorry that life descended like that upon you," Taehyung comes by my side and wraps his other arm around my shoulders. "I am sorry that everything turned upside down at the mere age of 7 when things are supposed to be intact."

"I am sorry that there was no one beside you when you needed them the most, no one gave you the helping and caring hand that you needed and still need now," He brushes away the lone tear that escapes my eyes sneakily.

"And if you don't mind then I will happily take that special place in your life."

Taehyung leans in a little closer, our foreheads touching together as both of our eyes are closed. It is like he is soaking away every bit of sadness that is present within me. Those emotions gets evaporated in a quick second.

And I don't know how but when I feel the sudden sweetness and warmth arising around my lips, that's when I realise that Taehyung is kissing me. My lips are perfectly placed on his, his hand wrapped around my waist and the other one is cupping my cheek. Every moment that passes by feels like heaven to me, my fingers resting on his thighs, feels blessed.

Seconds ago I felt the things things turning awkward but this moment is blissful. His warm breathe brushes against my upper lip as it causes every hair on my body to raise up.

Slowly he pulls away, the presence of his lips on mine still lingering around.

Is this feeling healthy?

This is all I can think about right now.
