Your POV:

I can't believe it..

It's not happening right?

Don't tell me it is..

I lost Taehyung.

I lost the freakishly tall and drop dead gorgeous doll named Taehyung. How? I don't know. But the second I turned, he was gone ㅡ puff! Vanished.

We are currently in the supermarket to buy the groceries. We aren't even halfway through this building and I already lost Taehyung ㅡ on a mONDAY.

WOW. Great job Y/N..

"Taehyung? Taehyung!" I called out loud. It might not help if he's not around my radar but oh welp. "Taehyung! Where are you?" I said pushing the cart forward while looking left and right.

Five minutes have past still no sign of him. Then, it panicked me. What if he suddenly breaks a joint? What if he slips and breaks his head? WHAT IF HE GOT KIDNAPPED BECAUSE HE'S SUSPICIOUSLY GORGEOUS?!?

Goddamnit! I told that doll to not go away from me!

"Uhm, excuse me," I tapped on a random woman with a teal dress. She turned smiling at me. Fakely. "Have you seen a guy -uhm, a head taller than me, thin.." I started but already at my first words she seemed confused.

"Young lady, there's a lot of tall guys out here." She said chuckling fakely. Obviously not wanting to help me. "Go ask someone else~" she said basically shooing me.

Right. Such a help.

I sighed, as I look for someone to ask. This supermarket is so empty. Aside from it is Monday, it's close to the school and most students go here to buy snacks. Where are they now?

Wait.. What time is it..?

I immediately grab my phone from my pocket. 11:58 AM. Oooohh snap.. I HAVE TO HURRY AND GET US OUT OF HERE.

As I search for him by my eyes, I grab all the things we need. "Miss, have you seen a tall guy, slender and.. utterly handsome?" I asked a young lady around 20 or something. ( cringing at my own question )

Unlike the old-pants lady from a while ago, this random girl seemed to be quite geniune with helping me. "Oh! That guy with ripped shirt on? Yeah, he's at the junk food section." She replied. I thanked her before running my way with the cart to the junk food section.

JUST hOW IN THE FREAKING HELL DID HE GET IN THE JUNK FOOD SECTION WHEN I WAS ALL THE WAY AT THE APPETIZER SECTION?!?

Hearing a familiar mumbling, I stopped. Turned and saw a crowd of school girls (from another school) squeling and fangirling.

I rolled my eyes. Well at least it's not someone from my school.

"Oppaaa~~ Why not?~"

"Oppa! Oppa! Oppa look here~"

I heard them mumble. I noticed the same familiar fancy winter shoes. aHA!

I basically squished myself through the crowd, hearing them complaining as I slide. "Excuse me." I mumbled repeatedly to get through. And there he was, right in the middle of the crowd. Looking confused and claustrophobic from all the girls surrounding him.

I rolled my eyes again, grabbing his wrist and harshly pulling him out of the crowd. But before we could get through, a girl quickly grab a hold of me.

"Not so fast girl. He's our man." She said cracking her knuckles. The other girls in the background tried to look intimidating by glaring at me. Psh, oh please. "Let him go or you'll learn it the hard way." She said.

I stared blankly at her. From head to toe I observed her. Quite chubby, short skirts and a busty chest. Her makeup seemed to be cheap due to how much it's smearing on her face and hair was dry and tangled.

"How about this." I said raising my middle finger at her, making her and the others gasp.

"Oh you just didn't do that.." She said taking a step towards me, looking like it just set it's eyes on it's prey. "I am so gonna make you regretㅡ"

"Let's go jagi," I heard Taehyung behind me. His hands travelled from my arms to my hand holding it before intertwining his fingers with mine.

And just that they were all shocked. I was too. I looked at him with wide eyes. He turned to me smiling geniunely before pulling me with him to the cashier. Leaving the crowd of girls' jaws on the damn floor.

            I pace back and forth in my bedroom, biting my nails as I get frustrated while thinking of what just happened.

"Uhm.. Y/N?" I heard him. I turned, seeing him sitting  on my bed looking at me as if I'm weird.

"Oh just uh- thinking of uh.. something." I stammered, that made him look even weirdly at me. "I-It's nothing - really." I said trying to reassure him and avoiding eye contact at the same time.

Why did I feel weird when he hold ㅡ no ㅡ touch my hand?

Why does he have to say that?

"You look troubled." He said. Yeah..

"Uhm no- I'm not, just-"

Why am I even keeping him in the first place?

"What's wrong?" He said with a worried look.

Should I call the police? An exorcist?

"Nothing.."

Should I tell my siblings?

"No one must know that I'm alive.."

Hey.. I never questioned him about that. Should I ask him that? Or will he get offended..?

"Y/N? Y/N." My chains of thoughts broke, hearing Taehyung calling my name mutiple times.

"Yeah..?" I replied to him. I noticed that I stop pacing. Did I space out for a moment?

"Something's bothering you.." He said resting his arms on his knees. I averted my eyes onto something else. "You're avoiding eye contact with me." He said suddenly firm.

I don't know what to do at this point. All this thinking made me feel like as if he's a stranger. But he's not human.. he's a doll.

A soulless object.

He's only alive last night, it's not to late to confront him right?

Turning, I met Taehyung's blue eyes staring directly at me. It was not a sweet stare.. it was more of an icy and cold stare. I opened my lips to speak but words aren't coming out. As if I'm voiceless. I frozed.

What the hell is happening?

Taehyung's face turned serious as he slowly stand up and walks towards me. He look into my eyes, I turned, avoiding eye contact. He exhaled in irritation as he took a hold of my chin and gently turned my head to face him.

"Why are you avoiding me?" He said, not in a soft way. He was damn serious.
