Hola peeps! Very sorry for the delay. Hope you enjoy this long chapter. Have a happy reading!

"Beautiful", he uttered and I couldn't stop myself from blushing. This new feeling of too many flutters in my stomach is really making me worried. Why am I feeling like this? I was verily tensed when he was undraping the scarf from my face. I wanted to stop him but something inside me wanted that to happen. He likes me and is making me feel alarmingly different. 

His deep yet sharp, piercing yet an adoring gaze didn't leave my face since the moment the scarf was completely disrobed. It's adorable how he managed to display his signature boxy smile while having a high temperature and a weak body.

"Can I touch it?", he asked and I was confused at what he was implying. I displayed a bewildered expression and his lips curved, displaying a soft smile, very much contrary to his wide boxy grin.

"Can I touch your face?", he rephrased and my cheeks heated up for no reason. What is this feeling around him? Should I let him touch my face? I had a tingling sensation in my stomach and felt so weird yet nice. Why is this happening? Is it because of him?

"It's okay if you feel uncomfortable with that. It's just that I couldn't stop myself", he mouthed and my heart started pounding. A wave of butterflies flittered in my stomach gushing a new feeling of warmth in my body. He just said that he couldn't stop himself. Does he like me that much?

"Taehyung", I called him and he looked at me with a questioning stare. I don't know if I could gather this much courage. I never did something like this, not even once in my lifetime. Biting my lip and gathering the spirit from the last drop of blood in my nerve, I held his hand, welcoming a perplexed expression from him. Allah! What am I even doing? Am I losing my mind in front of him?

I raised his hand slowly and placed it on my cheek, feeling his long, calloused fingers on my skin. A shiver ran down my spine when he looked at me and started moving his thumb in circles. It feels so novel. I closed my eyes as he started to trail his hands over my face. I am letting him do this on my will but what are these unfamiliar things I am feeling?

"You look so beautiful, Nazeera", he spoke with his keen orbs fixated on my face. My temperature started rising and I looked down to hide my blush. He placed his index finger on my chin and raised my head to meet his gaze. My heartbeat is now faster than a horse and I don't know if I am having a weird kind of heart problem.

"You look red, Nazeera", he chuckled and I felt embarrassed. 

"Fine. I don't want you to feel awkward right now. Let me talk about something else", he mouthed, taking his hands back and then started speaking about his hyungs. I smiled at how he jokes at their weird behavior and how he is happy to have met them. They must be having a very special bond, I guess.

"You know what? I wore a red blazer for the first meeting and all of my members thought I was a rich spoilt kid", he exclaimed and I let out a laugh. He told many things like he loves strawberry and hates coffee, and that Jimin was his best friend since school days.

Perhaps, that's the reason Jimin approached me and brought me till here. No wonder why he did that. He even told me that he is from Daegu and that his grandmother is still there, taking care of their farm. Seeing him talking about himself so openly and cheerfully made me feel special. No guy talked to me so well as him till today. I never knew how nice it would be to have a talk with a guy who has feelings for you. Leave that, I never thought I would talk to a guy in his house, risking my music sessions. What are you, Taehyung?

"I will make to take you to my haelmoni. She would love you", he spoke and I felt nervous. I never thought he developed this much liking towards me. He is thinking of taking me to his grandmother, which is next to impossible. I just wish neither of us to get hurt in whatever we hold for the future.

He finally drifted to sleep after blabbering so much about himself. I covered him with the duvet and smiled at his sleeping face. He looks tired. I placed my hand on his forehead and flinched at how hot his skin was. 

I searched for a clean cloth available and gladly, found it right at the corner of his nightstand. I walked to the kitchen and poured some cold water into a bowl. Dipping the cloth in the bowl,  I placed the wet cloth on his forehead. This will help. Ammi used to do this for me whenever I had a fever. I rubbed the cloth over his hands since his body was literally burning.

Their manager should have been careful about him. Leaving him alone would only cause him more illness. And this guy is a kid when it comes to taking care of himself. I saw the untouched cold soup on his table and knew it. He didn't have his lunch. That's the reason I made him porridge.

I examined his face and my lips curved at how endearing he looked. That little mole under his nose is freaking cute!

Shh! What am I thinking? I mentally smacked myself at that thought. But he really looked cute though. I couldn't stop myself from admiring his calm and peaceful face, something which is very much different from the ferocious one in front of Jackson that day.

I feel the need to explore him

• • •

I looked at my phone and realized that I need to go. It's getting late but I don't remember the way to my house from this place. What should I do? I don't have the habit of trusting Google Maps, but this time, I am not having an option. 

With conflicting thoughts about trusting Google Maps swirling in my head, I got up and reached for my scarf to drape it on myself. I glanced at Taehyung for once and smiled. I don't know if he will feel bad for not notifying him before leaving but I don't want to disturb his sleep. He needs rest

I walked out of the room and closed the door, not making much of a sound. I hope he gets better. I paced my steps to the main door and opened it only to be welcomed by five people, few displaying stupefied faces.

"Nazeera", Jin muttered and I fiddled with my fingers. I am afraid of what they would decipher. What would they think of me when I am all alone with a guy instead of being at my academy?

I was not having words so I just stayed silent, feeling nervous at how they would perceive the situation as. Jungkook and Jimin were looking fine, rather displaying a goofy grin on their faces. 

"Are you with Taehyung till now?", a tall guy asked me and I nodded in positive.

"I just came to visit him since he was not feeling well", I uttered and their faces beamed. Are they fine with this?

I stepped back and walked into the house again as they entered. It would definitely not be nice when I step out of their house as soon as they enter. Jungkook and Jimin displayed an assuring smile and I nodded.

"Do you want something?", Jin offered and but I just shook my head. It is really awkward to be in a house full of guys. They don't look indecent but it's just myself, feeling weird since I have never been in a situation like this. 

"Wait! Did you use my kitchen?", he came out of the kitchen with a serious expression and I nodded, being worried. As Taehyung described, Jin is really possessive about the kitchen.

"I made some porridge for him as he was so weak", I explained, stuttering a bit and the rest giggled. Was I funny?

"Jin hyung, you are scaring her", the guy with a broad smile spoke.

"So you made porridge for Taehyung and he ate it?", Jimin asked and I nodded. He exchanged looks with Jungkook which I couldn't understand and then smiled at me. The rest also looked at each other and had different kinds of smiles. They sure have some kind of telepathy.

"Thank you for taking care of Taehyung. By the way, I am Namjoon.", Namjoon forwarded his hand and I politely rejected, doing my gesture of greeting. He understood it just like the others and did the same. Thank God, they are thoughtful people.

"And I am Hoseok, everyone calls me Hobi", the other guy spoke doing my gesture and I greeted them back.

"We are also called BTS and we live together. We are not that famous though", Jungkook grinned sheepishly and scratched his neck. He looks adorable.

"I know. Taehyung told me. Your songs are really good", I told them and all of them looked surprised. The Hoseok guy jumped out of his place and let out a squeal.

"Really?", he asked and I nodded.

"I heard your songs very recently. And my mom liked them too", I told them and they all looked happy. Their music is really nice and I wonder why they don't call themselves famous. I already imagined them to be one of the famous music bands in Korea.

"We are very glad to hear that, Nazeera", Jin spoke and I smiled. They are one bunch of highly talented people and I am sure their hardwork would yield them fruitful results. 

"There is another guy too and he will be coming soon", Namjoon uttered and I just nodded. These guys are really good and nice.

"Nazeera, we will walk you home", Jimin mouthed and Jungkook came forward.

"No, it's okay. I will go by myself. I don't want to trouble you guys", I rejected their offer as I don't want them to be burdened.

"I don't want Taehyung to choke me to death if he finds out that I left you to walk by yourself. At least let us drop you till the subway. I am sure you are not acquainted with this route", Jimin spoke and I chuckled at his words. True to his words, I don't know the route and there are high chances of me getting lost. So, I just agreed to him and turned to all of them. I waved my hand to bid them bye and they all waved their hands in return with adoring smiles. Sweet!

• • •

Both the guys kept a comfortable distance from me and I am glad they did that. I am a bit uncomfortable around guys though I am having an exception now, Taehyung.

"Is he alright now?", Jimin asked and I nodded.

"I know he would only get better if you see him. He likes you a lot", he stated and I was shocked. Does he know? I mentally smacked myself for thinking so dumb. Jimin is the best friend of Taehyung and why wouldn't he know? And why would he help me if he doesn't know?

"Thank you for helping me meet him and dropping me now", I thanked both of them as I was about to board the metro train.

"You don't need to. We are doing this for our friend", Jungkook spoke and I bobbed my head in agreement. He flashed his bunny smile through the glass door and I smiled. They both waved their hands and I waved back at them. They are really nice friends. Taehyung is lucky.

• • •

As I got down from the metro and started walking towards my home, I remembered the days when he used to walk me home and stop exactly where I told him to. He never crossed that point. Though he was playful and jerk at first, he showed his real self later. He is not that kind of  playful jerk I assumed him as. Taehyung, you are bothering me so much. I smiled at that thought. He really is.

"Why are you late today, Nazeera?", my mom asked as I stepped in and I didn't know what to answer. I just kept silent and she served the snacks on the table.

"It's okay, but just come before Baba could come", she mouthed, ruffling my hair and I smiled at her. I sighed in relief as she didn't ask any further questions. 

We did our evening prayer later and I rushed to my room. He is revolving in my head so much today and I am scared if I would look obvious in front of her. She can catch my thoughts very easily.

It's okay Nazeera, I will help you understand them. I will make you realize what you feel for me

I want to see how you look like. I want to see how the girl I like looks like

I blushed, remembering his words. He sounded so sincere and confident. The confidence which I could never possess. Where did I even get him? I facepalmed myself.

It's just that I couldn't stop myself

You look so beautiful Nazeera

My cheeks were heating up, remembering the moment with him and I couldn't stop this feeling. I looked at myself in the mirror to find myself red. Was I like this in front of him? Damn, it's so embarrassing. Gosh! What the hell is happening to me?

I opened my phone and watched their songs again. He looked so cute, like a kid in Just One Day. My heart started beating fast thinking about him. I took a sigh and hugged myself. Can I feel these disturbing thoughts? Will I be okay later?

I am sticking to these feelings for now. I am not going to be against them. I want to know what I feel for him. Even if I find that I like him, I would respect that. I am not going to run away. I don't want to hurt him again. I don't want to hurt myself. I just want to be happy for once, for myself. 

 I bent down to reach out to Baji's diary. I started flipping pages to read various phrases and lines by her and now, it kind of gives me different feels. I never thought these kinds of feelings would be so real until I met this idiot. I don't really wish to fall for him, fall for anyone to be precise, but if I am destined to, I will not stop myself.

I got down to have dinner and did our night prayers. I got back to my room and did my night chores, before preparing my violin. I have recently been working on acoustic versions of their songs and it is coming out great. Remembering that guy (who is giving me weird sensations)'s husky and deep voice, I continued playing the violin. 

Soundproof walls are great, no one can hear you playing with all your heart. It's nice to have some things for yourself. If I just close my door, nothing of mine could be heard downstairs and nothing of their business discussions would be heard upstairs.

• • •

Mornings in Korea are really cold. I rubbed my hands in cold and got up from my bed. The cold woke me up rather than the alarm today.

 Out of habit, I  reached Baji's book and flipped through the pages of her dairy

"My heart realized it even before, that he is the right guy for me as it beats different only around him"

"I never felt so pampered and loved. He is the best person I have ever met"

"Only he knows how to make my heart flutter and cause the butterflies in my stomach"

I closed the book and placed my hand on my heart, thinking about him. Please don't beat, please don't. I prayed but I could hear it thumping so loud. 

"Betrayer", I sighed to myself.

 Life never goes in a way that we want it to. Well! At least, our own organs don't listen to us. This is so unfair. Fine then, I will listen to them instead. At least I need to cooperate with my body. I chuckled at the stupid thoughts and got up.

I washed myself, did my morning chores, and went down for the Morning Prayer. I am so eager to go to the music academy today and I very well know the reason.

I want to see him
