Fear quickly enveloped my gaze as I watched him.

I'm praying it isn't Mija, there is no telling what this night could turn into.

My shoulders tensed and I started to tremble.

I exhaled while gazing at Taehyung who didn't seem worried and I was too frozen in my tracks to wonder why.

It rung again.

My eyes amplified as he broke away from me and walked over to answer it. He stood at the door speaking to someone until he moved away, allowing the gentleman to come in. Their tongues was too quick for me to interpret but I could pick up things here and there.

From the banter and the slight teasing, it was safe to say that he knew this stranger very well. I turned away and wiped my face as I could feel the dried tears on it. I felt them coming closer and hurriedly turned back.

I was face to face with Taehyung and the person with him. I squinted a bit realizing that it was one of them. I just wasn't sure which one.

His smile was cute. His dark, starry eyes held a bit of innocence behind them. I wasn't sure of the look I was projecting but he gradually suppressed his grin with a corner smirk that couldn't be intimidating if he wanted it to.

"Hi. Her." He lifted his hand and spoke.

I frowned at his odd salutation. I looked over to Taehyung who grinned shyly then back at him.

"I'm sorry?" I asked politely.

"He calls you Her. It's how you are saved in his phone." The stranger clarified. I held back a giggle as I watched him conveyed his words with his hands while he spoke carefully. His English was very clear but he was nervous with the conversation.

A mix of a light scoff with a smile escaped me as I held my head down, grinning at the cuteness. I couldn't help but wonder if I should tell him that he's saved in my phone as Him.

"Oh! I see." I smiled. "Well, my name is Shae." I held out my hand to him. "What's yours?"

"Jungkook. Nice to meet you Shae." He reciprocated the gesture and smiled.

Taehyung began to speak to him in a fussy tone. I slowly began to back away but he noticed and without even looking my way he reached out and pulled me before I could place my other foot back.

Jungkook smiled at us, teasingly it seemed.

"Excuse us." Taehyung spoke before leading me into my bedroom. He stopped at the foot of my bed.

"Sneaking out Taehyung? That's naughty." I teased him.

His eyes widened at bit at the fact that I caught some of their conversation but his expressions turned serious instantly. Baffles me how he does that.

"I needed to see you but now I must go. I will see you soon, okay?"

He brought his hand up to my cheek once more, stroking it lightly. All of the feelings of him leaving again came rushing back but I was more secure in the fact that it wouldn't be for too long.

"Okay Tae-" I whispered.

My sentence could barely escape before I was succumbing to his kiss. He pulled away ever so gently, only to make my heart pound for more.

"Get some rest, hm?" He ordered.

"You too." I answered lowly.

He turned to leave and I followed behind but stopped in the doorway. I listened as he spoke to Jungkook and opened the door to their exit. The echo of it closing behind them pierced down the hall, vibrating against the silence that now was my company.

My students were barely walking out as Mija started pushing her way through them. I snickered at her, feeling the creases in my forehead forming as I shuffled my papers together. She immediately centered her phone in my face without saying a word.

My breath did that thing again where it hitched and I stopped breathing.

It was a photo of him.

He was wearing a medium colored gray suit. The first button of his crisped white shirt underneath the blazer was undone, teasing the reveal of his perfectly structured neck. Golden orbs of sunlight kissed his skin at the perfect angle. A paragon of man.

"Wow!" I exclaimed. I had to give credit where it was due.

"Wow indeed. That is a man!" Mija commented as she pulled her phone away and stood swooning over the photo.

I chuckled at her.

"I thought Suji was the fan and you were just the big sister who supported her." I mocked.

"I never said I wasn't a fan. I'm just as into them as Suji is." Mija replied, never taking her eyes away from the phone.

I simmered at the way she eyed him. She never looked at me once.

"Mija! You're drooling! Seriously, is he your favorite or something?" I teased with a hint of seriousness. There was no way she could ever know about him now. I'm almost afraid to tell her and it may not even be safe to.

"I'm not but...if our paths ever crossed so would my preferences." She said as she began to scroll up on her phone.

"Oh yeah? He's that powerful huh? Give me your phone!" I commanded as I reached for it.

She snatched it back.

"Touch it and die." She threatened.

"Case in point. I wouldn't want it anyway. Your saliva is dripping from it." I laughed.

"Would you like to see it again? You seemed to have been mesmerized by it. I mean it is Kim Taehyung. Who wouldn't be?" Mija asked finally looking up to me from her phone.

"No I don't thank you." I smiled as I gathered my things. "Are we still on for tomorrow?"

"Oh damnit Shae! I can't. I forgot that I'm taking Suji to the fan meet tomorrow. She so excited!" Mija stated as she placed her phone in her pocket.

"Where are you taking her?"

"To a BTS fan meeting. She will have a chance to meet the guys." Mija explained.

My mind began to wander and I chuckled thinking what could his reaction be if I were to show up at one of those but I'm sure it's probably a process to get into an event like that.

"I hope you and Suji have a wonderful time." I stated as I began to walk closer to her.

"Maybe we could go to the museum this weekend." Mija suggested.

"Well, I sort of have plans already for this weekend but I'm free all next week. Pick a day." I smiled at her.

Mija smirked. "Plans this weekend, huh? You and your secret boyfriend meeting up?" She teased.

I rolled my eyes from her and scoffed. "Don't be childish Mija and he's not my boyfriend."

Mija smacked her teeth and pouted. "I'm not being childish and why isn't he? I know you're really into him."

Suddenly my heart started to pound loudly from her question. He's going to ask me something along those lines and I will no longer be able to run from him.

The truth will be have to be told.

"Can we just go? I'm supposed to call my parents in a few hours." I practically shooed her out of my classroom.

"You are the queen of avoidance. Do you know that?" She huffed.

"All too well." I grinned.

FINALLY I COULD USE THIS! THIS CHAPTER IS DEDICATED TO 042419 KIM TAEHYUNG! MY GOODNESS MY HEART!

Sad news though..."Her" is ending.

Please don't hate me but please tell me how much you like the sequel because if I know Cupid, she's probably thinking of a third...
