Taehyung's Pov

"Yah! Kim Taehyung, just stay in the house and take some rest", Hobi hyung yelled at me and the rest all gave me the same look. I frowned at that. Though I still find myself weak to attend the academy, I am better than yesterday. I want to see her today.

"I want to come, hyung. I am fine. See", I spread my arms wide and displayed a goofy smile.  I showed my 32 teeth but out of blue, I stumbled upon my leg and Namjoon hyung caught me right on time.

"Yes, yes, we can see how fine you are", Jungkook muttered and I sighed. I want to see her today. After all that had happened yesterday, I couldn't control myself from seeing her. She looked so pretty, so ethereal and so innocent. I just want to see her face again. I want to talk to her for once. She is not leaving my thoughts and it would be hard for me if I don't see her today.

"Just take rest for today Taehyung ah. You can come from tomorrow, okay?", Jin hyung spoke softly and I frowned. How can I tell them that I want to see her so badly? I sighed and plopped myself on the couch, switching on the TV. Jin hyung served us breakfast and I ate with no interest.

They waved a bye to me after finishing up the chores and I just smiled back.

"Want to see her?", I got scared as Jimin popped out of nowhere, behind the couch. This dwarf of a being stayed back and wasn't even noticed. Great! Perks of being small.

"Yah! Jiminie pabo, what are you doing here?", I asked as he showed his sly smile. I ignored him and continued to watch the movie. I am already frustrated that I can't see her today and here, he is showing his stupid smile. 

"I asked Jungkook to manage the others for some time", he spoke as he sat down beside me without answering my question and I shook my head in disbelief. . I ignored him and continued to watch the movie. I am already frustrated that I can't see her today and here, he is showing his stupid smile. 

"I will bring Nazeera, alright? Don't keep sulking like that", he mouthed, smacking my head and I turned to him to confirm for real. I mentally apologized to him for calling him a dwarf. Sorry Jimin ah, you are taller than a dwarf.

"Really?", I asked him with excitement filling my veins and he nodded in positive.

"Now don't show that long face and take rest. We will bring her just like yesterday. I am sure she would come if I say you are still ill", he stated as he stood up and winked at me. This guy really knows how to change my mood.

 "Thank You Jimin ah", I thanked him for what he is doing for me, taking all the risks and responsibilities.

"If she is the one who makes you happy, then I will do anything to support you two", he assured me as he smacked my head and I smiled back. He bid me bye and I waved my hand vigorously with happiness.

Had he not been in my life, I don't how I would have survived. I remember people staring at us weirdly at our crazy actions in high school. I even remember his girlfriend asking us if we are from another planet.  I am glad that I have someone like him. Nazeera wouldn't have come to the dorm in the first case had he not helped her. 

Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. My heart skipped a beat when I saw her entering the dorm. And when she cried that she couldn't understand what she is feeling for me, I felt it so cute. She is an innocent bean whom I want to pamper so much. She is just too adorable for me. 

I wanted to talk to you so badly but I didn't see you anywhere and when I asked Jin, he told me that you are ill. It made me so worried

Only God knows how badly I wanted to hug her when she said that. Her words felt so wholehearted and they just made me fall for her more and more.

I am letting you touch me

I don't mind you touching me from now on

My heart just exploded would be an understatement to describe my feeling when she spoke those words. Thinking about that again, I couldn't believe it for a second that it was who mouthed those words. I loved the moment when she cooked the porridge for me by watching a tutorial. She need not go that far to cook a dish by herself but she did. She cares. My grandmother used to cook porridge for me when I am ill and it reminded me of her. 

Taehyung, I am sorry but I couldn't understand what I am feeling towards you. I am just so confused and I still need time to clear it out

The way she stuttered makes me smile even now. She looked so nervous the previous day and I felt really happy that she admitted that she has feelings for me. It got me a million flutters inside my pounding heart. She sure has got a whacking effect on me.

 I was so overwhelmed with joy when I saw her endearing face. She is beyond cute and damn lovely. Her gorgeous eyes and that pretty smile made her one of the most beautiful women in my life, Eomma and Haelmoni are the rest in the list. I wish I could stop the time when we entwined our fingers. The feeling was so blissful when our fingertips connected, inducing electricity in my body.

What are you doing to me Nazeera? You are making me fall for you harder day by day and I don't complain a bit. Perhaps, we are destined to meet like this and fall for each other. Just the thought of you falling for me is making my heart race. 

Please give me a chance, will you?

As time passed by, I kept thinking about her and waited for her. Did Jimin forget that he has to bring her? Or did something happen? Did she not agree to come today? I looked at the clock on the wall for the twenty-fifth time in the last two minutes and took a deep sigh. It's already 1 and the lunchtime would end by now.

Ten more minutes passed by and I am becoming impatient now. Won't she come today? I swear to God, I will kill Jimin for giving me hope. That idiot is not even answering my calls. Ugh! I mentally prepared myself to spend my time with her today. 

I walked back and forth in the living room, pressing my knuckles, and then the bell rang. I jumped out of excitement and ran to open the door only to see Jimin and Jungkook. Where is she?

"Where is Nazeera?", I asked them and they stayed silent. I understood their silence and sighed in disappointment. I want to see her so badly. Why does it have to be like this? I turned to go inside but a familiar voice halted my steps.

"Why are you guys so fast? I had to run to reach you both", Nazeera came panting and I rushed to her. Her eyes gleamed with an emotion that I have never noticed before. They are displaying an emotion stating that she is worried and obvious, obvious that she wanted to see me just like me.

"Yah! You both", I shot a glare at the two monkeys standing in front of me, giggling. Did they just try to prank me? I almost believed them and could have just cried. I mentally decided to draw nipples on Jimin's white soft toy and hide all the banana milk bottles.

"Idiots", I muttered and they laughed.

"Take care of him, okay? We will drop you just like yesterday", Jimin told her and she nodded. Jungkook waved a bye and she waved her hand towards them. I didn't fail to notice their teasing smiles as I locked the door. Every good boy will have a day. Jungkook will get someone in his life and I know what to do.

"You seem well today unlike what I had heard", she spoke, sitting on the couch. I sat down beside her and she didn't move a bit. She is not feeling uneasy with my presence and I smiled at that fact. I beamed at the progress, though it's just to a small level.

"What did they say?", I asked, already guessing if Jimin and Jungkook have overacted or added some spice to get her here. They have been quite the expertise in that field.

"They told me that you were burning as if you are in an oven and that you cried a lot yesterday", she spoke and looked at me. I scratched my neck sheepishly, my face flushed in embarrassment. Those idiots overdo everything. They are eligible for an Oscar award for the best over-action title.

"What if they didn't tell you that? Would you not come to see me?", I placed my arm around her and she looked at me in surprise and then at my arm. She lets me touch her and also is just confused, not uncomfortable. I can do that, right? Be confident, Taehyung, I told myself.

"Get used to this, Nazeera. I am a man of surprises", I whispered in her ear with a small smile. She widened her eyes first and quickly averted her gaze to the other side.

"Now remove that scarf of yours on your face. It is covering the pretty face of my girl", I winked at her and she looked down, probably flustered. I chuckled at her innocence. She is a real tiny munchkin. 

"Will you remove it or should I?", she blinked twice and started to remove her scarf. I stared at her beautiful face as she placed her scarf on the table. My stomach did backflips on noticing the pink hue spread across her cheeks.

"I am sorry that sounded so kinky", I apologized for the previous words and she looked at me, perplexed.

"What does kinky mean?", she looked, bumfuzzled and I smiled at that. God, she doesn't even know what does kinky means. She is such a fairy, making me smitten with even making effort.

"Should I search it on google?", she started to type on her phone and I was quick enough to grab it from her. I don't want her to be spoiled because of me. 

"You don't need to know about that. Now answer my question.", I diverted her and she looked at me, confused.

"Which question?", she questioned as her eyes blinked with a spirit of inquiry.

"What if they didn't tell you that I was very ill? Would you not come to see me?", I raised my brows and she smiled.

"I wanted to see you today. But when I didn't see you at the academy, I felt really sad. And Jimin told me that he will take me to you just like yesterday. I agreed without a second thought. Even if they didn't tell about that, I wanted to see you", she spoke without any hesitation. Nazeera, stop killing me with your honesty.

"You really speak words just like that. You didn't even think of playing with me", I asked her and she nodded.

"I don't want to hide my feelings towards you, Taehyung. And I won't just keep it in me either. Who knows what might happen one day? What if I go away from you?", she spoke and I closed her mouth.

"Please don't say that Nazeera", I looked into her eyes and she removed my hand.

"I am just saying, Taehyung. I want you to know how I feel for you though I can't decipher them myself. I don't want to run away from you, Taehyung. I am tired of running away from myself", she spoke with an assuring smile beaming on her face.

For the umpteenth time, she proved that she is the right girl for me. I grinned ear to ear looking at the girl sitting in front of me. I caressed her hair and she let out a hearty smile. And now I know, she is ready to fall for me and it wouldn't be that hard to wait for her.

"Did you have your lunch?", she asked me and I shook my head in negation. I was so tensed about her arrival that I forgot to have my lunch. 

"Are you not hungry at all? Do you even take care of yourself? You are sick Taehyung", she yelled at me and I simply smiled. She shook her head in disbelief and got up from the couch.

"Will you eat the same porridge?", she asked while walking towards the kitchen and I nodded. I don't want her to trouble herself by trying new dishes. And I am okay with anything she makes. 

After a few minutes, she brought me a bowl and placed it on the table. I gestured her to sit down and she did the same. I opened my mouth wide open and she facepalmed herself.

"Aaaaaaah"

"Such a kid you are", she mumbled and started feeding me. This girl is so different from the one I saw on the first day. She looked so shy and nervous and now she is feeding me food and sitting so close beside me. A transition that I never expected to happen.

My eyes traveled through her face admiring her features while she was busy feeding and scolding that I don't even know how to open my mouth. She looked freaking beautiful, I thought for the hundredth time. 

"Yah! Are you even listening? What are you doing?", her voice broke my thoughts and I smirked at her.

"Admiring the beauty in front of me", I spoke looking at her and she was flustered. Her cheeks were flushed red and I couldn't stop chuckling at that. An adorable munchkin.

She slapped my arm lightly and handed me the tissue to wipe my mouth. She went back to the kitchen to bring me a glass of water. She would make a great wife, I thought to myself while a tint of blush crept through my cheeks. My heart leaped at the thought of the future with her. 

"Nazeera", I called her, holding her wrist. She raised her eyebrows in response and I pulled her close making her gasp at my sudden action. 

"Taehyung", she muttered and I noticed her getting nervous.

"Why are you so scared of me, Nazeera?", I asked her tucking few hair strands behind her ear and she gulped down, looking at me. The whole room was silent and the only thing which I could hear is our heartbeats beating in sync. 

"My heart", she started. "It is beating so fast", she continued making me beam at her. This is what I want to tell you exactly. My heart only beats for you and around you. I pulled her closer, my heart throbbing on feeling her breath.

I placed her hand on my chest and when she was about to pull off, I held it tighter. I want her to feel how my heart beats for her. She needs to know my heart beats for her. She just stayed silent and then I removed her hand from there and placed it on hers making her feel her own beat. 

"My heart beats like that, only around you, Nazeera, and only for you", I confessed and she looked at me with a completely different emotion. An emotion filled with excitement, anxiety, and surprise. I released her hand and gazed at her lovingly.

"What about you? Does it beat like that around me? Or does it beat like that for everyone", I raised my brows and locked my eyes with hers. I know her eyes would never tell me lies. She took a moment to process what's happening. 

She placed her hand on her chest again trying to decipher what I have just told. I smiled at the thought that she is trying to know. She is trying to give this a chance and that's more than enough for me to jump internally in joy. 

I want to clear her mind and make her know what she feels. And this is the first step.

"Taehyung", she called me and I looked at her for an answer.

She did a quick nod and I smiled. I ruffled her hair and internally danced in joy. Her eyes were easy to study and I am pretty sure about her answer.

Her heart beats for me too and she ain't lying.
