Taehyung: hello?

??? : Hii.

'the voice seems familiar... a rare thing'

??? : Ok ok , listen listen. hear me out!

'-Who even is this?'

Taehyung: umm. May I ask who you are?

Y/n : ohh , sry. *Chuckle*
It's me . Y/n.

Ohh It's her!
I tried not to show my excitement. I've been smiling a lot these days like an idiot and I don't know why.

Taehyung: ok. Continue.

Y/n : rood. Not even an 'oh!'
K still . I know you are not in the school group so I'm here to tell you that our field trip today is cancelled. I mean it's not cancel cancelled, it's postponed to tomorrow. Our school is famous for its last minute changes, you'll get used to it pretty quickly. Anyway ,today we have to go to school so they can give us the topics for our assignment and we have the rest of the day free I guess to prepare for it. You were paired with Jungkook but I swapped you with Jennie so she could get to be with her crush haha. Hence now you're my pair now sir. So.. you uh kinda need to hurry right now. Also , ma'am gave me your number to inform this to you, so don't misunderstand how I got it hehe.

Taehyung : ...

Y/n : hello? Did he hang up?

Taehyung: no! Just .. you talk a lot. Like some machine.

Y/n : I was pretty much born with that talent. Just kidding, everyone is telling me I'm talking a lot these days.. it's true then I guess.

Taehyung: yeah.. . I'll be coming in 10 then.

Y/n : great! See you there!

📞

I laughed and kept the empty can on the kitchen platform.

Taehyung: guess we have one more day to discuss about this Tan.

He let out a high pitch bark and bid me bye at the door by circling round my leg.
'oh how I wish I could take you with me'

~ In school~

Teacher : ...
...
...
Jin and Namjoon, you both will be studying the animals found in the jungles of South Korea.Y/n and Taehyung, you'll be doing the assignment on the various plants found. Everyone has their topics now, so we may disperse and meet tomorrow at 7:30 am. Don't. Be . Late.

You turned to Taehyung, who already had his eyes fixated on you. You raised a brow and he shook his head slightly.

Y/n : my place or your place?

Taehyung: ... what?

Y/n : to do the assignment!

Taehyung: what assignment?

Major facepalm moment.

Y/n : the one which we heard like 10seconds ago. On plants in the woods pabo!

Taehyung: oh.. I wasn't quite listening.

He rubbed his neck akwardly.

Taehyung: anything is fine with me to be honest

Y/n : alright then! Your place.

He looked away, thinking for a moment. An eerie wave hit you as you remembered Momo's words. 'oh.. no'
Not like you believed her, but you didn't want him to be uncomfortable.

Y/n : you do have a computer right?

'What a shitty question, he would feel offended you dumdum' you smiled akwardly at him and shrugged.

Taehyung: Yeah of course I do. Ok then , let's go.

You both went to the bus stop and got on.

Taehyung: it's just two stops away

Y/n : ohkay..

You then got lost in your thoughts, as you both stood just near the door. 'This might be the chance, I can get to know him personally. Meet his parents. See what he sees every day around him. What makes him so sad.' you silently smiled.' I would get to help him now...' You felt a hand taking yours pulling you off the bus. You looked at Taehyung as he swiftly took steps. You admired his face as you felt really warm and cared for. The way he held your hand, this time you didn't mind it. It made you feel comfortable. An indescribable feeling built up inside. You were caught staring as he looked at you and grinned. You melted yet again.

Taehyung: we're here

You looked front , and your eyes were left wide open and jaw dropped. You were standing infront of a huge ass mansion. Pure white marble and had big glass windows, revealing some comfy furniture inside. Surrounded with a little nursery which gave it a homely feel it had little orange lamps adorning the sides. It was the typical millionaires mansion. Well damn shit.

Y/n : y-you live here?

Taehyung: I don't think I'll bring you to some random house. Yes, I live here.

He didn't look to happy. 'If I lived in such a mansion I would have friends coming over all the time and I'd be so proud about it. I mean it's so beautiful. Why is he so bothered by it?' He pulled you in and you sat on the sofa glancing around the whole hall. You cleared your throat.

Y/n : What about the thing Momo said?

Taehyung: It was false

He replied frankly as he turned on his laptop.

Y/n : omo, why didn't you tell earlier? You got so much hate for no reason.. and why did she even say such a thing then?

He placed his laptop down and looked at you with a dead serious look. He sat beside you and said,

Taehyung: I just told her that my bag was handmade, which it really is. My grandma had made it for me, so I use it as her memory.

You could tell he loved her a lot , by the tears which were forming in his eyes just at her mention. He wiped them vigorously and continued

Taehyung: And honestly, hate which I know I don't deserve doesn't really matter to me. I don't have a problem by being poor , but if they do , then I'm better off being one.

You nodded, understanding his side.

Y/n : ok, where are your parents thought?

His expressions dropped yet again, you realised it was the same topic last time. He deadpanned.

Taehyung: they're out

Y/n : oh.. where's tannie??!

Taehyung: right! I forgot about him. He usually comes to me running right away as I enter.

Both of you started looking for him. And there he was, curled up in a corner shivering with fear distinct in his eyes.

Taehyung: Don't worry Tan! It's not mom n dad! Its a new friend.

Yeontan got up a little bit. You frowned at the statement but he didn't seem to notice it.

Taehyung: I'm sorry, we just don't have guests over very often.

Y/n : Don't be. Ohh.. poor thing.

You went closer carefully and stroked him. He stuck his tongue out and sat on your lap.

Y/n : he's really cute Taehyung.

Taehyung: I know! Come here tan

He said , extending his palm for a high-five. But Tan didn't budge, he happily wagged his tail and looked at your face. Taehyung scooped him from your lap and tried to plant a kiss on his face. But tannie kept wriggling, struggling to get out of his hold. You laughed out loud. You felt complete , like a family.Tan gave a bark at Taehyung's face and returned back to your lap as you kissed him now. Then you stuck your tongue out at Taehyung as he folded his arms.

Y/n : I'm a better parent than you!

He broke into a grin.

Taehyung: you can be his mom..

He winked at you.

Y/n : You smooth bastard

The words unknowingly flew out. He laughed , setting your stomach in yet another roll.

Taehyung: we can do this in my room

Your heart stopped, till you realised what he actually meant. ' When did my mind get so dirty??!'

Y/n : umm ok. You do that. You know the place right

Taehyung : I do

You took another meaning again, and then as realisation hit you shook your head slightly.

Taehyung: you ok?

Y/n : Haha yeah I'm fine.. Do you have any groceries? So I can make something to eat while we work on the assignment.

Taehyung: Yeah. I actually have them filled all the time, to try cooking. But I can't really do that very well... I managed to pull off rice once!

He chuckled akwardly. You found him really adorable. ' What's wrong with my heart today?'

Y/n : ok then , tell me where the kitchen is.

Taehyung: just take a right from there

You went the way as he pointed. And yet again, a great shock greeted you.

Taehyung POV

I put our campsites name in the search bar, and then it hit me like a freaking truck. The kitchen is a mess!!! I immediately dashed towards the kitchen , but it was too late. She had already discovered the piles of empty cups of cup noodles and cans and cans of soda. She looked at the scene with wide eyes.

Taehyung: uhh..

Y/n : IS THAT ALL YOU EVER EAT??!

She yelled. I didn't know what to say.

Taehyung: y-yes.. I mean no! I do order sometimes. As I said, I can't really cook well-

I answer, trying my best to avoid that topic.

Y/n : Does your mom not cook you anything?

I feel like opening up to her, I don't know why, but I can't. I don't want to loose her. Not yet. After we've bonded so much in the last week. After she has made me forget everything I wanted to forget but couldn't. After she made me smile like the real me. I want to keep her safe. This is something completely new. I've experienced so many new things and feelings since y/n came in my life, I don't even know what to name them or how to describe them. But one thing I know for sure.. I don't want to hurt her. So I remained silent.

End of Taehyung's POV

You let out a sigh. 'There's no point in forcing him.'

Y/n : go start getting the list of plants ready, so we can take each of them and find more details. I'll clean this up.

Taehyung: no! I've made this mess. Let me help.

He said as a sad chuckle escaped his lips. You both cleaned the entire kitchen pretty quickly and then Taehyung took out the trash and got back to the research till you prepare some food. You decided to make some bibimbap. You put the rice to steam and cracked the eggs on the pan topped with some spices and started chopping some cabbage for the kimchi.
Chop
'This place doesn't seem like anything it would be with parents home. Where are they then?'
Chop
'Why would Yeontan be scared of his 'mom n dad?'
Chop
Why didn't ma'am call him herself to inform about the change?'
Chop
'What about his health? packed food is so bad for him.'
CHOP

Y/n : OUCH!!

You looked down and Taehyung rushed in at the sound of your scream to the scene of blood all over the cabbage with your finger cut.

Taehyung: OMG! Y/N !

He took your hand hurriedly, turned on the tap in full speed and put your hand under the cold flowing water. He held it long as you hissed in pain. Then it was out , still bleeding a bit. He put your finger in his mouth and held your hand tight, slowly sucking on it to heal it, you winced. It was hectic, till your gazes met , and it felt like the world had just paused. You looked in his eyes, they were dangerously sparkling golden brown. You felt like you could get lost in them , in an endless maze. Your gaze traveled down , admiring his facial features, all perfect and beautifully shaped. Seeing him so up close was gorgeous, his hair , brows , ears, nose , cheeks , lips, jaw, and those magical orbs. He was gorgeous. He looked into your eyes, and his heart beating at twice its speed. He was heating up, and found you really mesmerising, he observed your every detail. The moment was silent , in a blissful eruption of feelings. Till you were interrupted by an all too familiar bark. And you both got back to your senses , he removed your finger from his mouth. Flashing red as a tomato you frantically looked around,

Taehyung: I-I'll get the bandage

And he dashed out. You washed your finger under the water once again and smiled.

He rushed in with the first aid kit and you both sat on the ground as he carefully treated your wound . He applied an ointment and put on the bandage. You were caught staring again , and both of you blushed. To ease the situation, Tan entered the kitchen with a pleading bark.

Taehyung: It's lunch time!

He got up and put in the dog food in his special plate as Yeontan devoured his food happily.

Y/n : umm.. I don't think we're going to have our lunch though. The cabbage is a bloody mess and the eggs are coal.

Taehyung looked at the two burnt eggs on the pan begging for a rescue and burst out laughing.

Y/n : YAH!! You can't even cook!!

He stopped laughing and looked at you with a half cute half serious face *insert Tata mic expression*

Taehyung: I can boil water!

He stated , in a teasing tone, making a weird face . It was your turn to laugh now. Then you got up too and turned off the stove.

Y/n : I'll make this all over again..

Taehyung: no!! I'll make it. You just tell me how to.

Y/n : Are you sure? It doesn't hurt that much anymore.

Taehyung: Yes I'm sure. I don't want your cut to open up again.

'He's so sweet.. just misunderstood'

You had to give up and sat on the kitchen platform and instructed him what to do.

Y/n : Take out the bloody cabbage. The remaining should be enough for two of us.

He did as you told and successfully marinated the Nappa cabbage in salt and spice to eat later.

Y/n : Now the eggs. Carefully take two of them and crack them on the edge of the pan.

He cracked the eggs , it was bit of a mess, but manageable.

Y/n : Now put some oregano and spices on top and take it out with a spatula when I say so.

Taehyung: can't I do the little shake-shake thingy and plate them?

Y/n : ..... No. First, we need the eggs in a good shape since we aren't scrambling them, one can manage to do that but we don't know if you can you know. Second, if it messes up, which is most likely to happen, we can't afford to burn any more eggs , can we?

He whined for you to allow him , but you were really hungry and wanted to eat so you wouldn't risk it.

Y/n : I've let you cook so you have to listen to me.

Taehyung: But this is my house?

Y/n : I won't tell you what to do next then . You want to eat or no?

His stomach growled. You chuckled as he plated eggs with the spatula.

Taehyung: Tch , they're a bit burnt.

Y/n : It's edible at least.

He frowned at you as you laughed again.

Taehyung: You sure are enjoying to torture me.

Y/n : The rice is ready!

He clicked his tongue and you laughed again. He took out the rice in two bowls.

Y/n : Now put the kimchi and eggs on top and we're done

Taehyung: har har

The lunch was finally ready plated nicely in a bowl.

Y/n : A+ for plating. Good job kiddo.

You said, getting off the platform.

Taehyung: kiddo?

He said as he leaned closer to you. Your back hit the platform, he was coming closer. He wiped his hands and placed one on the platform right beside you. You felt like butterflies were having a dance in your stomach. He towered up on you and whispered in a deep rough voice.

Taehyung: I'm taking the food to my room. Come fast.

He then shot off with the two bowls and chopsticks to his room. It took you a second to realise what had just happened.

Y/n : Y-YAH!! Wait for me!!

You ran behind him to his room.It was a pretty normal room actually, with gray furniture and had a photo frame on the table but you didn't get much of a look cuz Taehyung was begging you to start. So you started on the assignment while simultaneously munching on the bibimbap prepared by him.

Taehyung : It's not as bad as I expected!

Y/n : Thanks to me

He shot a glare at you.

Y/n : ok. Let's get done with this assignment.

~Time Skip~

After a lot of hard work , you were almost finished the assignment. It was late in the evening, around 6:30 pm. Streching yourself , you both started packing your things and you got up to leave.

Y/n : oh!

You exclaimed and wrote something down on a sticky note and stuck it to his room's wall.

Y/n : That's my number. Send me the remaining of the info. Also.. I'm taking both our copies with me, I'll give you yours when we get to the camp site tomorrow.

Taehyung: ok!

You bid Yeontan one last bye as he followed you to the door. But Taehyung followed you out.

Y/n : What are you doing?

Taehyung: Coming with you

Y/n : Where??

Taehyung: Africa . To your stop duh!

Y/n : Why are you always so sarcastic?

Taehyung: Why are you always asking stupid questions?

You were irritated.

Y/n : You're not babysitting me are you? You don't have to come with me.

He inhaled sharply and replied in a deep smooth voice,

Taehyung : But I want to..

Your heart skipped a beat. You couldn't say anything. You just started walking to the bus stop while Taehyung hopped along you like a happy kid. You looked at your hand, remembering how he had held it while coming to his home. You wanted to feel that again, that warmth. A current of fear ran through you , ' It isn't happening again, is it? This is different though.. It's different. It feels nice , right, beautiful. 'What is this?? ' You felt a slender hand gently get hold of yours, and it sent a wave of warmth inside you. Taehyung had held your hand firmly , he had sensed your anxiety, and was trying to ease you by a mere action. You never got such detailed attention, from anyone. Even your parents or aunt, nor him. But Taehyung was something different, 'This feeling is new, and I don't know if I should like it or not.'

Before you knew it , you were on the bus.

Y/n : You memorised the number of my bus?!

Taehyung: umm.. yeah? You were so lost in some thought. Take care y/n. Don't zone out like that randomly, especially on the street.

You couldn't help but smile at him, at his words of care. It seemed really special. This boy was really sweet. His smile radiated in the orange sunlight. You you would treasure this day, this moment forever in your heart. Your stop had come and you got off, turning back to wave a big bye to the Taehyung standing in the door, waving at you with his big boxy-smile. You chuckled, inhaled the cold breeze brushing your face and turned around. And there returned your normal panic-filled life. 'I WAS SO LOST I FORGOT TO INFORM HER!!' You hung your head low.

Y/n : I-I'm sorry aunt

Y/a : Do you know how worried I was for what took you so long??! Thank me I didn't tell your dad about it.

Y/n : I'm really sorry aunt.

She gave an elderly smile.

Y/a : It's ok.. just don't forget to inform next time hm? Now let's- WAIT!!

You looked up at her, a little confused.

Y/a : WHO WAS THAT GUY??!

...Oh shit.
