Your heart skipped a beat as you heard the steady footsteps approaching near you while the hold on the glass loosened a bit but it didn’t slide out of your hand. You peeked out of the kitchen as you waited for him to come into your eyeshot.

Gulping down the water filled in your mouth, you leaned in forward to get a look at him while Taehyung furrowed his brows as he discerned the amber gleam of the kitchen was illuminating throughout the hall, “She isn’t asleep yet.”

Taehyung licked his chapped lower lip as he took one of his hands from the pocket of his pants. He looked a few more steps while running his slender fingers through his silky locks, setting them back on his head. A few strands of his locks made their way back to his forehead.

Taking a glance inside the kitchen, you came into his eyeshot as you were already looking in his direction making his steps halt.

Taehyung blinked as he looked through your doe eyes, glimmering in the amber light while you stared through his soul.

Gazing at each other, Taehyung traced your position as if you were waiting for him to take a glance inside the kitchen while you were donned a lilac top and pants with white heels.

Your coat was missing as he took a step or two to take a clear view of you.

You traced his physique as he was donning navy blue lining pants and a white shirt tucked. The suit jacket was hung onto his lower arm which was pocketed in his pants while his necktie was already loosened and the top button of his shirt was unbuttoned.

The cuffs of his shirt were folded up until his elbow, exposing his budding veins. You could feel your adrenaline gushing as your stomach churned.

Gulping down a lump in your burning throat while your cheeks were warming up making your breaths heavy.

Stiffenly holding onto the glass of water, you touched the rim of the glass on the tip of your lips as he hung his hand sideways, leisurely from which he ran through his hair.

He watched you gulping down the water from the glass, tracing your neck as you quaffed the leftover water in the glass.

He gulped down following you when you traced his hazy orbs through the dimly lit atmosphere as he was unwittingly taking steps toward you.

You removed the rim of the glass from your petals as you placed the glass just at the fringe of the kitchen island.

Your lips were damp as a drop of liquid gushed down your lips to your chin as you licked your lips sensing the cold water gushing down your chin and neck.

He could feel his heart accelerating while you sensed his pale visage which was pretty unusual from his honey-toned skin as he was coming near your physique.

Getting a hold of his navy blue suit jacket, he chucked it onto the dining chair as it got stuck on the backrest of the chair.

“Why am I not able to control myself from coming near you? I shouldn’t be doing this but you are gravitating towards me. The way your eyes bewitch me or it is the way you look at me with your hazel eyes, I just can’t control myself. Why can’t I control myself?”

Taehyung let out a trembling breath while the fringe of his eyes was watery as his heart was beating harder than the usual pace.

Your heart skipped the beat on each step of his, “I wanted to talk to him, right? Then why can’t I do so? His only presence makes me feel better like… I have never felt the whole day.”

Clamping his subtle lips within his teeth, you traced his visage as he could hear your breathing in the serene atmosphere.

Pushing yourself off the kitchen counter while staring into his orbs, you unconsciously knocked out the glass with your hand.

The glass collided with the marble floor crashing sound resonated through the kitchen and lounge making you break your eye contact with him as you flinched almost instantly closing your eyes shut. Taehyung’s eyes twitched from you to the glass pieces scattered on the floor.

He wiggled his orbs back at you as he swiftly yet hastily stretched his hand around your waist. You felt his warm and strong grip around your waist making you twitch your head back to look at him as you were about to turn your head to look at the broken glass.

But before you could decipher something you couldn’t feel the ground beneath you. A light whimper left your mouth when Taehyung hefted you with his sturdy arm as you held onto a fistful of his shirt hindering his chest. Your heart was hammering inside your ribcage.

Colliding with his chest as he placed your physique back on the other side of the kitchen island, your clutch on his shirt stiffened while he gazed through your orbs.

You felt the herd of elephants inside your stomach while his touch was doing things to you. You felt shivers running down your spine when he stiffened his hold around your waist, nudging your flank within his palm.

You gulped down while your breath hitched at the propinquity between you two. Hearing your heartbeat in your eardrums as he had his visage aligned with yours.

You saw him parting his lips as his voice came octaves deep, “Are you hurt somewhere?” He asked as you traced the tint of concern in his voice while you lightly shook your head as ‘no’, gazing into his orbs. You blinked before twitching your head to take a look at the broken glass.

“I broke the glass.” You whispered, looking at the glass and then back at him in his orbs. Scrutinizing his watery orbs and his pale skin when he answered, “I will buy a billion new but you shouldn’t get a single scratch.” He whispered, which was still loud in the tranquility.

His breath trickled down your chin as he wiggled his orbs within yours before tracing them down your cheeks which were flushed pink.

Gazing down at your petals, he gulped down a lump in his throat before looking at the moisture on your chin.

Stretching his other hand, he propped it near your visage as you observed his movements. Halting his hand just a centimeter away from your kips, he looked back into your orbs.

This time you didn’t push yourself away from him as you gazed back into his orbs which glimmered under the amber rays.

Feeling the warm pad of his thumb against your cold skin, you closed your orbs as he looked at your closed eyes.

Wiping off the water from your chin, he traced your moles ornamenting under your eyes and on the tip of your nose. He skimmed the back of his index finger on your nose.

You could feel your heart getting on fire while the butterflies were fiddling in your stomach as you clamped the fringe of your lower lip within your teeth seeking his attention he could feel the hot sensation building up in his stomach, “This isn’t right. You have to stay away from her.”

Loosening his grip around your stomach, he propped it beside you on the island while he saw how they turned scarlet with blood clotting down your teeth before he skimmed the back of his finger over your lips to part it with your teeth.

You leisurely opened your eyes, looking back into his as he could feel his head aching.

You could feel the distress in his orbs as he let go of the material of his shirt. He retreated his hand from your lips before you furrowed your brows as he acknowledged your expressions.

“Is something wrong?” You asked when he took a couple of steps back from your frame while you deciphered his movements. Looking at him, you pushed yourself down the kitchen island as he made his way out of the kitchen while you called him.

“Taehyung!” You looked at his board back, he strode out of the kitchen when you followed him. “Taehyung f*cking stop it. Why are you behaving like this?” You shouted before approaching his pace as he was still striding toward the staircase when you held his wrist, stiffly.

“Why are you ignoring me since morning? After everything that happened yesterday!” You shouted as he said, “I don’t want to talk now.” He declared but you trotted behind him.

Making him halt his steps, your eyes widened as you felt his hot skin against your palm. He turned around saying, “Y/n, let go of me.” He declared sternly but you turned a deaf ear to him, “You have a fever.” Taehyung gulped down as you stretched your hand to his forehead.

Placing your palm on his forehead, you analyzed his temperature while he closed his eyes shut. His heart skipped a beat but he got his wrist out of your grip while you said, “You should take meds-” Taehyung stretched his hand to get a hold of your wrist.

He placed your hand down as you looked at him befuddled, “You don’t have to think about it.” He declared as you gazed up into his orbs, “What?” You muttered with your knitted brows as he said, “You don’t have to care about me.”

Announcing this he made his way upstairs as you were looking at his broad back with your astonished orbs as you stepped upstairs behind him asking, “Then what was that in the kitchen? You should also mean what you say.” You declared as he strode through the walkway.

“It was nothing.” He declared as he meant it before making his way inside his room while you stood in the center of the walkway, “What the hell is wrong with him?” He asked frustrated, “He is lying. He cares about me. I heard how worried he was about me- But why was he worried?”

“Just like I am getting worried about him.” You declared under your breath while Taehyung removed his already loosened necktie from his collar and chucked it on the sideboard.

“Get your shits together, Taehyung. You will end up hurting her in the end.” He made his way inside the bathroom.

Trotting inside your room, you straight away walked to your walk-in closet before sliding your cupboard open as you looked out for the medicine box.

Taking out the kit, you probed the meds out of the box before walking back out of your room. “You can do it, Y/n.” You nodded to yourself as you took a glance at the door of his room which was opened ajar.

Knocking on it lightly, you didn’t hear any response before you pushed it open. Traveling you ees all over the murky room, you couldn’t find him.

Letting out a sigh, you quietly walked inside his room and placed the meds on the bedside table.

Licking your lips together you took a glance at the glass of water which was already filled. You hear the sound of the water coming from his bathroom.

Taking a glance at his study desk, you found the sticky notes and a fountain pen which was placed beside it.

Making your way to it. You held the pen before writing down something on the sticky note and placing the pen back where it was.

Pasting the sticky note back on the bedside table with the silver packet of medicine placed beside it, you made your way out of his room and closed the door behind you.
