CH 20 | WHAT EYES?

Blinking his eyes, Taehyung stepped out of the bathroom before donning his white sweatpants not wearing his sweatshirt.

He ruffled his damp locks with the towel as he left the wardrobe door open before gazing at himself in the vast mirror ornamenting a wall of the walk-in closet.

Entering in his dingy room while the moonlight was penetrating through the window wall other than one of the lamps radiating amber lights, embedded inside the wall behind, beside on each side of the bed. His eyes were heavy yet dizzy and his head was aching.

Ignoring his ache he chucked the towel into the laundry basket back in the walk-in closet before he searched for his phone.

He traveled his orbs all over the mattress and the bedside table making him furrow, his brows as he squinted his eyes at the silver wrapper deposited on the bedside table.

“What is this?” Sauntering near the bedside table he scrutinized his orbs at the yellow paper placed beside the silver medicine wrapper.

He could make out that something was written on it. Turning on the other lamp, Taehyung stooped down to get a hold of the wrapper.

Gulping down a lump in his sore throat, he traced the note inked with the black pen, “I don’t keep favors.” Taehyung raised one of his eyebrows after reading the note while unwittingly, a sigh left his mouth before he shook his head from left to right.

“She is something.” Taehyung muttered under his breath gazing at the note holding in his hand. Coming out of his reverie, he pressed his lips together. “She makes me smile even if she is not around me. Why am I unable to stay away from her?”

“Why does she attract me to her? What is happening to me? Why am I unable to control myself around her?” Taehyung reminisced about the moments which happened in the kitchen before, “Her nature, her attitude, her everything attracts me-”

Taehyung closed his eyes as he placed the note inside the drawer of the bedside table. He was trying to suppress the feeling lingering in his heart.

Putting the medicine back in its prior place before walking to his study desk and working on his laptop.

Rubbing the moisturizer over your hands and arms while donning your satin nightgown. Just one name was looping inside your head, Taehyung. “Did he take the medicine?” You muttered as you raised your feet from the puffy you were sitting on.

Your heart was uneasy while your stomach was churning, “Why am I feeling this way?” You let in a deep breath before breathing out.

You could feel your tiring orbs as you let out a yawn as you placed your palm on your mouth, “I should sleep. He will be fine.”

Nodding to yourself, you blinked once before trying to settle your unsettled heart. Slipping inside the duvet as your back collided with the fluffy mattress, feeling relaxed and cozy but still you couldn’t feel at peace. Turning around, you closed your eyes after turning off the lamp.

Twirling around the mattress, a few hours wafted in the air but sleep was nowhere to be found. Furrowing your eyebrows with your eyes closed. You fluttered your eyes open, meeting with the dark-dingy room.

You gulped down a lump in your throat as you sat up straight on the mattress before resting your back on the headboard.

Turning on the lamp deposited on the bedside table, you removed the glass guard from the glass and quaffed large gulps of water.

“Why can’t I sleep?” You muttered while placing the glass back on the bedside table. Running your fingers through your tresses, you let out a sigh as you huffed, frustratedly. “Is it because of him? What should I do?” You clenched your eyes shut.

Hindering your visage within your palms, you let out a hiss. “This is f*cking confusing.” You said feeling irritated with all the scenarios going around you, “I won’t get calm until I see him.” You declared before letting out a deep sigh and gliding off the bed.

Tiptoeing toward the door, you twisted the knob of the door open before sauntering out of the room.

Letting in a deep breath, you pushed the door of Taehyung’s room open. Peeking inside his room, you discerned his physique as he was laying on the bed.

Your heart was racing at its place as you entered his room, gingerly. Walking near the bed while tiptoeing without breaking your eye contact with his frame.

Standing beside the bed, you took a glance at the medicine you placed before.

Taking the medicine in your hands, you acknowledged that he hasn’t eaten yet. Furrowing your eyebrows, you parted your lips before muttering, “What the hell? He didn’t take the medicine?!”

You gazed down at his visage as he was clutching onto the duvet tightly making you befuddled while you stooped down to take a proper view of his visage as the crystals of the sweat were forming over his forehead and temples.

Your heart was feeling distraught, lingering in your heart and mind, “Stubborn!” You thought before stretching your hand near his visage as you clamped your lower lip within your teeth. You took a glance at his bare chest which was hindered with the duvet.

Placing your palm on his forehead, gingerly you analyzed his body temperature. You furrowed your brows as you enlarged a bit, “He has a high fever.” You muttered under your breath as you patted his sweat off with the cuffs of your nightgown.

You discerned his eyebrows crumpling while he was wiggling his orbs left to right in his sleep, “Is he having a nightmare?” You thought before unwittingly skimming the pad of your thumb back and forth on his cheeks to ease him.

Crawling up to the bed, you placed your palm on his cheek before fondling it with your fingers and pad of thumb.

Taehyung furrowed his brows as he could feel your cold palm on his cheek before you whispered, “Taehyung…” You muttered, trying to break his nightmare.

You crumpled your eyebrows when he hastily clutched onto your wrist as he hastily pulled you to himself making your eyes widen.

Your heart was hammering inside your chest while you blinked once as you licked your lower lip when he opened his orbs, gazing straight into your eyes.

He was looking at you with his glistened orbs which were vacant yet astonished to see you here. You wiggled your orbs through his as your heart was skipping beats before you stammered, “Tae… Taehyung…” Your voice came out befuddled but petrified.

The lower eyelids of his glistened orbs were glimmering under the moonlight as he discerned you through his blurry vision while you gulped down a lump in your throat.

He traced your orbs after blinking the moisture away from his eyes before he traced your parted petals as you gulped down.

His heart was racing after his nightmare was broken but your visage came in his view the next second making him at peace.

His eyes turned soft when he whispered your name, “Y/n…” His voice came out gentle and reserved, probably you have heard for the first time.

You parted your lips while blinking a couple of times as you tried to simmer down your racing heartbeat before the past reminisces gushed through Taehyung’s mind and his expression changed in a jiff. His once soft gaze turned vacant and his voice came out sore and rough.

“What are you doing here?” He asked as you parted your lips to answer him but couldn’t think of any excuse as your heart raced up but blustered, “Taehyung, why didn’t you take the meds?” You asked in a worried voice, making him let out a deep sigh.

Taehyung inhaled deeply before saying, “I am fine. Leave me alone.” He declared, letting go of your hand from his hold as you gazed at every movement of his. You could see that he wasn’t fine, “His face said it all. He wasn’t fine but just didn't want my help.”

He was about to slip your hand out of his cheek but you held his hand midway, “Yeah, I can see how fine you are.” You declared, making him close his eyes in frustration while his head was aching, “Come on, take the meds.” You declared as you could feel his warm hand in your palm.

Gazing down at his pale skin, glimmering under the moonlight as he opened his eyes.

You could hear his heavy breathing in the tranquil atmosphere when you heard him say, “You don’t have to worry about me.” He declared while you furrowed your eyebrows.

Gulping down with difficulty as he scrunched his nose before he closed his eyes as you sighed, “Are you ignoring these meds just like you did me, the whole day?” You asked as you watched his eyebrows getting crumpled before he opened his eyes.

“Just leave me alone.” He declared, turning a deaf ear to your question before closing his eyes. You clamped your lower lip within your teeth before you declared, “I am not leaving until you take your tablet.” You said, calmly yet sternly.

“Why the hell are you irritating me, Y/n?” Taehyung raised his voice before jerking himself up from the mattress as you flinched back upon his sudden reaction.

You were about to plunge backward as a squeal left your mouth while your eyes widened.

You held the handful of the duvet he was covered in but Taehyung hastily elongated his hand around your waist before wrapping his sturdy arm around your waist.

He pulled your physique toward himself before your chest collided with his.

Your heart skyrocketed as your warm breathing was heavy which was trickling down his neck and shoulder.

Your hands were resting on his exposed chest you could feel his smooth skin under your palms. You blinked once or twice before retreating a bit.

Your eyes got locked with his as you gulped down with your racing heartbeat which raced up more as he was staring straight through your soul.

His orbs were radiating nothing but devotion which his heart was refusing to consider.

You could feel your heart fluttering as his orbs traced down your lips and then wiggled back into your orbs making you gulp down, “Why… Why are you looking at me like this?” You stammered asking him, gulping down as he took a few seconds before whispering, “Like what?”

“Like…” You whispered as he completed your sentence, “Like I never wanna take my eyes off from you.” Coming out of your reverie, you broke your eye contact with him before you gazed down when his exposed half-naked chest and well-built six-pack abs came into view.

You could suddenly feel your cheeks getting warm as Taehyung scrutinized you looking down at his bare chest, trying to ignore his headache before he declared, “I won't mind you staring at me all night with those eyes.”
