Chapter 5 - Sweets

And then she approached Taehyung slowly.. but very slowly..

She cleared her throat.

“About.. that night..” she said softly as she clenched her fists and lowered her gaze.

“You aren’t going to punch me, are you?” asked Taehyung putting down his stuff and taking a step towards her.

He could see her looking at him from afar before..

He noticed she was waiting for the other students to go so she could talk to him..

And so he took his time to get his things done..

Jisoo lifted her gaze.

“What?” she asked puzzled.

Taehyung grabbed her by her wrist and raised it lightly.

“This..” he said looking at her.

Jisoo’s eyes widened. She didn’t know she was putting her hands into fists! But why is he so sensitive today? Was he offended by what she did? Why would he think she would punch him?

But Taehyung was finding her actions cute instead.

She resembles a child the more he gets to know her..

Look at those tiny fists.. and pouty lips.. she must be really embarrassed..

Jisoo pulled her hand away.

“I don’t punch other people..” she said frowning. “Why would-..?”

“You must hug them instead..” said Taehyung interrupting her.

Jisoo’s eyes widened.

He’s clearly referring to what she did two nights ago!

“I’ll apologize for that..” said Jisoo shutting her eyes tightly. “I was out of my mind.. I was too drunk that I kept doing whatever I wanted to do-..”

“Did you sleep well that night?” asked Taehyung cutting her again.

Jisoo opened her eyes and looked at him.

“Did you rest well? Did you have a good sleep?” Taehyung continued.

Jisoo nodded.

She did sleep.. very well..

It was the first time she slept for eight hours after a long time..

And maybe because she was able to talk to him that night and share her worries to him, she felt as light as a feather when she woke up yesterday morning..

“That’s a relief..” said Taehyung smiling.

Jisoo raised her brows together.

“Are you not angry?” she asked baffled. “I mean.. I did some stupid things and also-..”

“Do you like eating cakes?” asked Taehyung as he held a pink box in his hand.

Jisoo’s brows were knit together as she stared at the box.

Isn’t that what Tzuyu and Mina gave him earlier?

“Do you not like cakes?” asked Taehyung again.

Jisoo blinked a few times.

Why is he asking her? What does it have to do with what she was telling him before?

“I.. l love eating cakes.. of course.. but I-.."

Taehyung grabbed her hand and gave her the box of cake.
