"How am I supposed to love you when I don't love who I am?

And how am I supposed to give you all of me, when I'm only half a man?"

And how am I supposed to give you all of me, when I'm only half a man?"

"So your ex is the first man ever created?" Taehyung gawked in shock.

I let my gaze wander the floor, finding sudden interest in the pattern of the carpet.

"Yes."

He scratched his neck, puffing his cheeks.

"Sooo... that doesn't sound intimidating at all."

I bit my lip anxiously, upset at how much he was struggling to process all of this. My hands found his as I gave them a reassuring squeeze.

"Listen to me. He's not going to be a problem for us, ever. He's in the past, I'm so over that. It's nothing but a distant memory."

Taehyung's gaze flickered back to meet mine and I couldn't help but notice his dubious attitude. Bold of me to assume there was still something called us after everything that went down, but the hesitation I saw in his eyes gave me a small sparkle of hope that maybe not everything was lost yet.

"I... Faye, this is all so hard to stomach."

"I know."

He drew a sharp intake of breath.

"But the least I can do is try to accept it." He admitted.

"Really?" I exclaimed softly, a rush of elation shooting through me.

Taehyung nodded, he still seemed a little bit out of it but I decided to focus on the fact that for the first time, he seemed like he was starting to come around.

"Like I said, I'm willing to answer every single question to have for me," I said, my voice trembling with emotion. "I want to be as honest with you as possible."

"Yes, okay," he nodded rapidly. "Maybe, uh... maybe let's go back to having dinner and... we'll see where that takes us."

"I would like that very much," I beamed, excitement bubbling within me as I motioned for him to follow me back to the table.

My sheepish smile was instantly wiped off my face as I heard the front door being yanked open with force. Taehyung and I both jolted in our seats, our heads whipping in the direction of the violent slam.

"Look what the cat just dragged in!" Yoongi yelled from the hallway, jerking someone harshly and shoving them to the side. "Or shall I say, the demon." He grinned deviously.

"Hey, I helped too!" Jimin protested, entering my apartment too and following him closely.

"Shut up morons, you wouldn't have even known about him if I hadn't told you." Jin ventured inside too.
