When we reached Taehyung's house, the sky is already set dark.I called my dad during the time and he talked to Taehyung and agreed to the stay over.

" Don't burden him too much Saera." He said while Taehyung put the call of speaker.

" Oh and Taehyung if she asks for food then don't bother answering and-"

" DAD REALLY? IM GOING TO STARVE."

" Like you don't eat anything at home.Do you know how many wrappers for the ramen pack is on the floor right now? You should be here cleaning up-"

" DADDDD.I CAN'T SAY HELLO TO JIMIJ BUT I CAN GO TO TAEHYUNG'S HOUSE? HWAT LOGIC-" I yelled trying to grab the phone from Taehyung's hand, who was laughing discreetly.

" I really would like to hear more Mr.Kim but you should get ready for you trip."

" Ah yes,Thank you Taehyung. Please take care of her."

" Yes sir." And with that the phone call ended.Taehyung leaned on his door, shaking the phone above my head.

" Seems like your dad really cares about your food intake..maybe we should just call off the food-"

I hit the back of Taehyung's head as he groans before taking the phone from his hands.

" I'm KIDDDINGG."

" Sure." I huff while Taehyung opens the door to his home. The place looked really neat and comfy.

Taehyung pulled off his denim jacket and laid it on the couch.

" So this is my house." He says.

" It's empty."

" Yeah well this is what happened when my parents-"

" Travel." I finish.Taehyung nodded his head as we sat on the couch, a bit far apart.

" So."

" So."

Awk-ward.

Tawhyung clear his theoat and stares at me.

" Listen,"

" The reason why Jimin didn't come wasn't because he wanted to ditch you intentionally.The tickets for the bet were
reserved for today."

" Why are you bringing up the topic again? " I asked, my voice sounding hoarse.

" Because I don't want you to hate him for the wrong reason."

" I see that you really care about Jimin." I say, rolling my eyes.

Taehyung's face stiffens and the atmosphere is awkward once again.

" Chocolate, Vanilla or Strawberry? " He asks.

" What? "

" Which flavor ice crean do you want? "

"...Chocolate."

Taehyung got up from the couch, the springs underneath the seating creating a slight creaking sound.I looked at the house more thoroughly, staring at the few picture frames with Taehyung and his parents. Moving my eyes further, I noticed another frame, behind it and got up to go see it. The frame was made of wood and the edges were smooth.And then there was a picture.

Two small boys and one girl were next to each other.All of them had black hair and the girl had a braid running down her shoulder while her small finger held onto the boy next to her.

Eunmi.

And the boy holding her hand had smooth black hair, with large doll like eyes which were crinkled up into an adorable eye smile. It was obviously

Jimin.

Even then,they seemed to like each other.And then there was Taehyung, with a boyish smile staring at the camera confidentially.He had his signature box-smile and I couldn't help but laugh at his messed up bangs.

" Your ice cream? " Taehyung's voice calls out as i turn my head. In his hand was a small little iddy biddy cup with chocolate ice cream.

" That's all I'm getting? "

" Your dad-"

" Whatever." I roll my eyes and grab the cup while Taehyung smiled cheekily at me. We sat back down and Taehyung grabbed he remote control and pressed the 'on' button and he clicked a few more times until a movie was playing.

I didn't particularly recognize it, but it was an American movie seeing the english credits begin to roll down the screen.

" Hey." i ask, while Taehyun turns his head, a spoon of vanilla icecrean in his mouth.

" You know Jimin? "

" No actually i don't.Is he from our school."

" BRo."

" Anyways..so this bet your were talking about, Jimin did it for Eunni right? "

"Well-"

" Yes or No? "

" Yeah."

" I see."

The movie continued as the girl started crying into the guy's arms after being separated for so long. That's what Jimin was like to Eunmi.

" I'm gonna get some more chocolate ice cream because someone decided to starve me by giving me a tablespoon worth of it." I say while Taehyung nods his head and continues to watch.

Life would be so much easier if i hadn't fell for Jimin. Then i could feel more relieved and less upset about the bet.Why Jimin of all people? Why do i always go for the taken ones? Like am i trying to torture myself?

Then the memories came flooding in the way i hoped it hadn't. The time when he smiled at me and we sat alone in the classroom and the time where i put hello kitty bandaids on him.

And when we went to a botanical garden and ran for our lives after a bee came and chased us.And that time when I grabbed Jimin arms and teased him for having small hands. And-

" Saera.. are you crying? " Taehyung asked, taking the icecrean spoon from my hands and scooping a big cup of icecream. i felr my cheeks all wet ans hadnt even noticed that i was myself.

" Um-See I-I'm not-"

" I know the movie is sad but you didn't have to hide it." He said, as I stare up at him.

" I'm not crying you-you hippo." I say.

Taehyung takes pinky fingers and brushes it underneath my cheek-before showing it to me.

" Do you know what tears even are? " He joked playfully.

" Shut up..I'm going back to the couch." I say and as I'm about to, Taehyung grabs the back of my head and leans it on his shoulder.

" Boiii let go of me-"

" Why do you act like you're so tough? You're not so stop acting like you can handle everything that comes your way you stupid. You think everything is fine but its not."

" Sorry but are you trying to comfort me?" I ask, voice muffled from Taehyung's shoulder.Taehyung sighs and pets my head lightly.

And slowly my eyes begin to water up and then tears start to form,

" So don't think that hurting by yourself Saera because..

You never walk alone."
