7: First Kiss
Narrator's Pov
Areum's eyes slowly flutter open to meet with Taehyung's wide eyes as her eyes immediately widen in shock to see him hugging her tightly with their lips only a few inches apart. Taehyung's eyes were locked with hers as he purse his lips, hopping that Areum wouldn't hear his heart beat which is now beating loudly against his chest due to the closure.
Little did he know Areum was feeling the same way as him. The sunset light was shinning on Taehyung's face, causing Areum to be memerized by his looks. Her heart flutter as she continued to stare at his shiny dark brown orbs which magically drawn her in.
However it didnt last long when Jimin decided to clear his throat, causing Taehyung to snap back to reality. Taehyung quickly blink his eyes as he pulled away from the hug and gently push Areum to stand back on her feet while helping her to balance.
"T-Thanks..." Areum stuttered in embarassment as her eyes wander around without looking at Taehyung.
"Your leg is injured. Here, get on." Taehyung say as he turned around with his back faced against Areum before squating down, causing Areum's eyes to widen in surprise.
"What? Its okay, I can walk by myself. I'm fine." Areum say as she shook her head, feeling flustered.
"Just get on." Taehyung firmly say.
Areum let out a sigh, seeing how stubborn Taehyung is as she reluctantly passed her schoolbag and one of her crutches to Jimin and Jungkook before getting onto Taehyung's back.
Taehyung's lips curled at how easy he take to convince Areum as he firmly wrapped his arms on Areum's thigh and lift her up while Areum wrapped her arms around Taehyung's neck.
After balancing himself, Taehyung carefully walked down the stairs and head to Areum's house with Jimin and Jungkook following behind them.
It was a quiet and awkward walk until Taehyung decided to break the tension.
"We took your camera for repair." Taehyung say with his gaze facing in front , catching Areum's attention.
"Realy?! Did they say they can fix it? The camera looks very broken and it is a old model." Areum anticipately ask as she looked at Taehyung's side face with wide-eyes.
Taehyung let out a smile after hearing how happy and relieve she is.
"Well, they say they can fix it so we left it there. Let's just trust them." Taehyung warmly say as memories of this afternoon came rushing into his mind.
Flashback
"This is the last one... Lets hope they will be able to fix it." Jungkook nervously hope as they stood infront of the glass door before entering the shop.
"Hmm... There are some crack on the screen and... this part is broken." The owner say while Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook nervously watched the owner examine the camera.
"What did you guys do to make it so broken like this?" The owner asked as he place the camera down before looking at them with his eyebrow furrowed.
"Well, I think you guys should buy another camera instead." The owner continued.
"No! Can you please help us out? Please try to fix it? This camera is very important to us." Jimin begged. Desperation was written all over his face and tone as he looked at the owner with his puppy eyes.
The owner scoffed at Jimin's action before returning the camera back to Jimin.
"I do not have so much time so why not just choose a new one." The owner say as he quickly leave the counter.
Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook's gaze followed his movement to see him returning back to the counter with a new camera.
"How about this camera? This one has a great lens and the angle is good as well! Look th-" The owner excitely say while he showed the camera to them.
"But we dont like it!" Jimin burst out in frustration, cutting the owner off as he turned his head to look at Jimin.
"Can you please fix it for us?" Jimin begged.
"Its not possible." The owner firmly say.
"Please? We must really fix this one." Jungkook joined, with both of his palms pressed together as he anxiously begged the owner.
"Look if you guys do not want to buy a new one, please just leave." The owner say in annoyance, causing Jungkook's heart to drop in disappointment.
Jimin ruffled his hair in frustration before nudging Taehyung's arm. Taehyung turn his head to look at Jimin.
"What should we do now?" Jimin mouth the words.
Taehyung sigh while he tried to think of a solution.
Areum really need this camera... Taehyung thought before shifting his gaze back to the owner.
"Look sir, we really need to fix this camera. This camera is very important to my friend. Her mother passed away when she was very young and the only way for her to see her mother is through this camera. Even if it cost a lot, we will pay! So please help us..." Taehyung sincerly begged as he looked straight into the owner's eyes.
The owner became soft and touched after hearing what Taehyung said as his gaze shift towards Jungkook and Jimin who are looking at him with their puppy eyes. Their sincerity and desperation gaze pierce through his. Soon his head unknowingly nodded as he let out a sigh.
"Fine, I will try my best to help." The owner say which caused the lips of the three boys to curl up in happiness as they cheered.
"Yes! Thank you so much!"
End of Flashback
Taehyung smiled at the thought of sucessfully begging the owner as he continued to walk.
"Yah! Its your fault who caused this problem. Why must we suffer like this?" Jimin angrily say once Taehyung was way in front of them as he hit Jungkook's arms before pointing at Taehyung who is carrying Areum on his back.
"Hey, I'm also suffering! Look I am carrying everything!" Jungkook retorted while gesturing Areum's school bag and the crutches.
"You are not even carrying anything! Here take this!" Jungkook shoved the school bag to Jimin in annoyance before fastening his pace to catch up with Taehyung.
"Yah wait for me!" Jimin shout as he threw the school bag over his right shoulder before running after Jungkook.

When Taehyung, Jimin, Jungkook and Areum finally reached the caravan, Taehyung gently helped Areum to sit on the mattress.
Areum carefully position herself on the mattress without hurting her fractured leg before looking up at them.
"Thanks guys." Areum thanks them with a warm smile.
"You don't have to thanks us, it's our duty." Taehyung say as he looked at Areum with a small smile which earned a smile from her.
"T-Then I guess we shall be going now." Taehyung say, feeling disappointed all of the sudden.
"Oh okay... Have a safe trip." Areum bid them goodbyes.
Taehyung reluctantly turned around with his back faced against her before walking a few steps.
Jimin and Jungkook immediately became flustered after seeing Taehyung leaving. They quickly turned their body and chase after him.
"Yah Taehyung!" Jimin called while grabbing Taehyung's albow causing him to halt his steps. Taehyung turned around to face Jimin as he looked at him with his eyebrow raised in confusion.
"Where are you going? We don't have any place to stay." Jimin asked in confusion which earned a sigh from him.
"Of course I know that. But Areum might still be mad at us for breaking her camera. Do you expect her to let us stay with her?" Taehyung ask with a frown plastered on his lips.
"We can try and ask her!" Jungkook exclaimed as he joined in the conversation with a bright smile.
Taehyung and Jimin turned their head and exchanges gazes with each other. An evil smirk soon started to form on both of their faces as they turn their head back to look at Jungkook.
"Great idea! You can ask her!" Jimin beamed as he quickly turn Jungkook around before pushing him towards Areum who is now sitting on the mattress while playing her phone.
"Me?" Jungkook whispered with a surprise look as he point at himself after turning his head to look at his two smiling hyungs.
"Yes, you are the one who come up this idea so you go and ask. Faster go!" Jimin half yelled half whispered as he walk towards Jungkook and gave him another push.
Jungkook turn his head back and looked at Areum. Cold sweats were forming on his forehead as he nervously walked towards Areum with a nervous smile while Jimin and Taehyung quietly watched him.
"E-Erm hey Areum... How's your leg?" Jungkook nervously asked as he sat on the mattress beside Areum before placing his hand on Areum's right casted foot.
"Ah!"
Areum immediately gasped as she flinched in pain causing Jungkook to draw his hand back.
"Sorry..." Jungkook say as he look at Areum with a sheepish smile as Areum throw him a glare.
"Areum are you alright? Does it hurt?" Jimin asked with a concern look as he stood in front of them before stretching his hand out to touch Areum's right casted foot but immediately retrieved back when Areum slapped his hand.
"I told you not to touch it!" Areum whined.
"She told you not to touch it!" Jungkook scold Jimin as he looked at Jimin which caused him to roll his eyes in annoyance.
"Yah! You guys should be at least nice to Areum. She's injured." Taehyung say as he walked towards the other side of the mattress before sitting beside Areum.
Areum's gaze watched the three boys' movement and that's when realization hit her.
"Ahh, you guys thought that I do not know what's your true colours?" Areum smirked as she point at them causing Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook to look at her nervously.
But I will be too cruel if I don't let them stay... Beside they helped me repair my camera and bring me home... Areum thought.
"Fine you guys can stay but that doesn't mean I forgive you guys. Only until my leg is recovered, I am still mad at you guys for breaking my camera." Areum say as she looked at them.
"Okay!" The three guys cheered.
"Just call us if you need anything. We will help!" Jungkook smiled.
~~~
"Hyung~ My legs are getting sore from walking back and forth..." Jungkook whine like a child as he looked at Jimin with a frown on his face.
Jimin and Jungkook were resting behind the caravan after helping Areum out with all of her request.
"Me too..." Jimin let out a sigh as he rest his back against the caravan.
"Jungkook!" Areum exclaimed, causing Jungkook to widen his eyes.
"Hyung, you go!" Jungkook frantically say as he push Jimin.
"No! She called your name not me." Jimin defended.
"Jimin?!" Areum shouted again.
A smile stretches across Jungkook's face as he cross his arms against his chest while looking at Jimin with a victory smile.
"Looks like she calling you now, hyung. So go and help her." Jungkook say.
Jimin's eyes wander around as he tried to think of a plan.
"Ahh! How about we secretly leave here for awhile and let Taehyung help Areum!" Jimin beamed, feeling proud of his brilliant plan.
Jungkook's eyes immediately lit up.
"Okay!" Jungkook say as they quickly turned around and run while grinning from ear to ear.
"Yah! You guys where you going?!" Taehyung shout once he saw Jimin and Jungkook happily running away.
Jungkook turn his head behind to look at Taehyung as he continue to run.
"Hyung, take care of Areum for us!" Jungkook shout back before turning his head back to the front.
"Aish those kids..." Taehyung mumbled under his breath before turning his body and walk towards Areum.
"Taehyu-"
"You called me?" Taehyung asked, cutting Areum off as he looked at Areum with both of his hands placed inside of his pockets.
"My phone is out of battery, could you help me charge it?" Areum asked with a smile.
"Sure I will do it." Taehyung camly say as he took her Areum's phone from her hand; his warm fingers brushes with Areum's during the process.
Areum immediately flinch at his touch, catching Taehyung's attention as his warm gaze trailed towards her gaze.
"L-Let's eat something..." Areum stuttered nervously as she look at Taehyung.
"Oh er okay... Let me charge the phone first." Taehyung awkwardly say before walking towards to the caravan and leaving Areum alone.
Jimin's Pov
"Jungkook, they are selling some street food. Are you hungry?" I asked Jungkook while pointing at the street infront of us that contains variety of aromatic street food.
From the place we are standing, we could smell the delicious aroma of the street food as it linger in our nose, causing our mouth to water and our stomach to growl in hunger.
"Of course! I'm starving! Hyung can you buy some for me while I wait for you at that bench? My leg is still aching..." Jungkook pouted.
"Okay I will get you some!" I smiled causing Jungkook's lips to curled as he gave me his usuall bunny smile.
"Thanks hyung!" Jungkook beamed before making his way to the bench while I walked down the street.
Wow...
My mouth gape open as I looked at every food stalls that are set up. There are different type of food; Tteokbokki, sweet korean pancake, fried chicken, gimbap and many more, which caused my stomach to growl even louder.
My eyes immediately lit up once my gaze landed on the fishcake stall. I had been craving for some fishcake after seeing Areum eating it when I was still in my doll form. I have always been wondering what does it taste like since Areum was eating it so deliciously.
I quickly fasten my pace towards the stall.
"Can I have two fishcake skewer please." I say with my gaze fixed on the fishcake skewer that are boiling in the broth.
"Okay." The stall owner say as she took out two of the fishcake out from the broth before placing it into a paper cup.
My lips curled up into a smile as I swallowed my saliva while I watched her action.
"That will be $1.20 please." The stall owner say before passing the fish skewer to me. My gaze shift towards her face and thats when my eyes slightly widen in surprise.
"Oh! It's you? The rude girl!" I exclaimed in surprised, causing her gaze to look at me. My eyes immediately locked with her wide-eyes as she let out a gasp. From her reaction, it looks like she is shocked to see me here.
"Eomma! I will be back for awhile!" She quickly say towards the older woman beside her as she walked out from the stall and grabbed my wrist anxiously.
Before I could process anything, she quickly pulled me to somewhere. When we finally reached somewhere further away from the stall, she halted her steps and release my wrist from her grip before turning her body around to face me.
"Why are you here?" She coldly asked as she crossed her arms against her chest.
"I'm here for some fishcake skewer." I blankly say as I looked at her while raising the cup of fish cake skewer to her face.
"If you dare to tell this to anyone in school then you'll will be dead meat!"
"Tell what?" I looked at her innocently as I took a bite of the fishcake skewer which I found it delicious.
"That you meet me here!" She exclaimed while I continue to take another bite of the fishcake skewer.
"And dont you ever come here again!" She continued.
"Why? I'm here for the fishcake. Why can't I come?" I asked with my mouth full of the fishcake as I looked at her with slightly wided-eyes. Confusion was written all over my face.
"I told you not to come then don't come!" She exclaimed in annoyance while throwing her arms down to her side.
"Get lost." She say as she threw me one last glance before turning her body around with her back faced against me. My gaze glued to her back as she head back to the stall.
"How can I don't come again when this fish cake is so delicious?" I mumbled under my breath. I raised the stick up to my mouth as I took the last bite of the fish cake while I watch her leave.
Shrugging my shoulder off, my gaze trailed down to see the cup is completely empty. Realisation hit me as my eyes widen.
Oh Shit! Jungkook!
~~~
Areum's Pov
"Ah... I'm full." Taehyung say as he pat his tummy.
I stretch my arms out while my gaze trailed towards my cast which is full of wishes and drawings, written from Jimin and Jungkook and thats when I realize something.
"Oh! Everyone wrote their message but you." I say as I turned my head to look him.
"What? You mean write here?" He asked in confusion while pointing at my cast.
"Yup!" I nodded my head with a smile.
"Why would I do it? Its childish." Taehyung nochantly say before turning his head to look at the stars. My smile slowly fade away as I dropped my head down while I stared at my cast, disappointly.
Letting out a sigh, I avert my gaze back to Taehyung.
"I'm going back to my room." I say causing Taehyung to turn his head to look at me.
"Now?" Taehyung asked which earned a nod from me.
"Okay." Taehyung let out a small smile as he stood on both of his feet before stretching both of his arms out for me to hold on.
I returned the smile as I grabbed both of his hands so that Taehyung could pulled me up. However, since my right leg haven't fully recover yet, sharp pain immediately shot through my right foot. A loud whimper immediately escaped from my mouth as my body fall foward, crashing onto Taehyung's hard chest.
Due to the sudden crash, Taehyung accidentally tripped over his own feet, causing him to fall backwards. His arms quickly wrapped around my waist tightly, pulling me down along. Both of us fall onto the bed, with me lieing on top of Taehyung. My eyes immediately widen in surprise so was Taehyung. My hands were resting on his shoulders while his arms were still hugging my waist.
But that wasn't the reason why our eyes were wide-open, the problem is...
Our lips were touching each other this time...
And it was my first kiss...
