House of Cards {Taehyung x Reader}

Chapter 8

It had been a few hours since we were locked in the studio. Due to our shenanigans we were now restricted to the practice room. The floors were covered in camping mats and sleeping bags. Suga and RM sat against the walls on their laptops while the rest of us were in the middle of a dodgeball match. While wreaking havoc in the studio we found boxes full of small stuffed animals that we decided to use for amo. It was Jin, Jungkook, and me vs J-hope, Tae, and Jimin. I grabbed as many stuffed animals as I could hold and began charging over to the other side. J-hope met me in the middle swung me over his shoulder while hitting my teammates with a pillow using me as a shield.

"That's cheating!" I yelled while trying to escape his grasp. The door to the dance room opened and one of the crew member walked in with a large pizza. Like little kids we all ran over to it and sat around it in a circle. Jin got a random smile on his face.

"What color is a burger.." He said already laughing.

"Hyung please don't." Suga sighed loudly.

"Burg-undy!" He answered his own question. I tried to fight back the laugh but I could help it, pizza flew out of my mouth and I fell over laughing.

"I've lost all respect for you." Suga said jokingly. I hid my face on a nearby pillow and tried to calm down.

My phone buzzed. When I finally could breath normally I grabbed it and read the message.

(f/n): I want to talk to you.

It took me a second to think of what to say. It would be hard for me to sneak out of the building even for a second. Maybe it was worth it, I couldn't lose her.

'I can't leave the studio. Try to hide your face the best you can and sneak around to the back, I'll meet you there.'

(f/n): Ok, I'll be there in a few minutes.

I downed one more piece of pizza before getting up to leave. I decided not to tell them what was going on so I claimed to be going to the bathroom. Quickly I grabbed a mask from Jungkook's bag and RM's sunglasses and a random hat I found laying on the table. There wasn't many people in the building so it was easy to get to the stairwell that led to the back. I cracked open the door to let (f/n) in.

"Is all that really necessary?"

"You saw the amount of people outside." She nodded in understanding. We sat down on the stairs.

"I get why you didn't tell me," she started. "You knew I'd freak."

"I'm really sorry-"

"It's fine. You can't help who you fall for." I nodded.

"(y/n)?" A voice called from up the stair well. Quickly I pushed (f/n) around the corner and signalled her to be quiet. The person came down the stairs. "Are you okay? You didn't go outside did you?" Taehyung asked nervously, searching my body for any sign of harm.

"I'm fine I just needed to call my parents."

"Oh, okay! Tell them I said hi." He smiled and began going back up the stairs. (f/n) came out from her hiding place.

"Just... promise me one thing." I looked at her. "Don't hurt him. He's important to so many people, you have to keep him happy."

"I'd never do anything to hurt him. Or any of them." She nodded silently before collecting her stuff.

"I'll see you later." Before I could say my goodbyes she opened the door and left. I turned and went up the stairs to re-join the others. They were all spread out along the walls charging their phones. Quietly I dug through my backpack and pulled out my homework.

It stayed quiet for a while until Hobi decided he wanted to go to bed and the members followed. I slipped into the sleeping bag next to Taehyung's. I closed my eyes and could feel my body relax into the camping mat underneath me. The sound of a nearby sleeping bag crinkling caught my attention, I opened my eyes to Tae pointing towards the door and indicating for me to be quiet. I slipped out of my sleeping bag and carried it in my arms as I followed him out of the room. He guided me up the stairs to the very top floor and onto the roof. The air was cool and there was a very light breeze. He pointed towards the sky. The studio was in a very deserted area so there were very few lights around. The sky was sprinkled with stars, it reminded me of the first time we hung out. He took my sleeping bag and layed it next to him. I sat down on mine and continued to look up at the sky. The moon was huge.

"No matter where we are..." He paused, trying to find the right words. "We'll always be looking at the same moon." I smiled and wrapped my arms around him. He pulled out of the hug and looked down at me, his eyes switching from my eyes to my lips. We were only a few inches apart then suddenly the distance shorted and his lips were on mine. It started off soft and when I started kissing back it deepened. I was the one to break the kiss.

"I'm gonna miss you." I whispered. He crawled into his sleeping bag and I followed. A familiar warmth covered me as he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer. I never wanted it to end.
