Hara's pov
I took a sip of my coffee and leaned on the balcony.
I have troubles sleeping.
Somehow my mind would wake me up at 5:30.
Five freaking thirty a m
It also doesn't help the fact that my mind would always be hazy and I'd feel really moody.
But waking up at this hour has its perks.
And one of them is having complete silence and quality time for yourself.
I took another sip, enjoying the bitter taste of coffee.
"What are you doing out there?"
I froze. Who the fu—
I heard footsteps coming my way and before I knew it, the owner of the voice is now beside me
I could feel his eyes on the side of my face,
My face started to heat up,
What are you looking at homie?
He cleared his throat making me look at him.
Sweet baby Jesus
His hair was messy, a sign that he just woke up. His eyes were dark brown, lips plump, and his jaw sharp.
I gulped, "You couldn't sleep?"
I nodded, not trusting my voice.
He hummed and looked at the skies above. My heart was beating fast.
I cursed myself and decided to drink more of my coffee to distract myself from the good looking man beside me,
I gulped it all down, ignoring the light sting on my tongue and glanced back at him,
"You? Why are you up early?"
"Couldn't sleep"
I let out a small 'oh'
"You're Hara right?" He asked, tearing his gaze from the sky and stared at me
"Yeah.. And you're?"
"You don't know my name?"
I blushed, I wasn't really paying attention when their leader introduced himself and the others.
I was still a little bitter by the fact that Mina was quick to welcome them just because Kiara is like Leila.
Kiara
She's fishy.
He cleared his throat again, making me blush harder
He laughed, "I'm really sorry but I wasn't listening when you guys were being introduced" I sheepishly said, putting a strand of my hair behind my ear
He laughed again making me smile,
"It's okay" He said, a grin in his face
"So will you tell me you're name, handsome?"
"Handsome? You find me handsome?"
I rolled my eyes, "Stop being oblivious. You're seriously the most handsome guy that I've ever met in my entire life"
He laughed again,
Cute
"Thank you, you're cute too"
I blushed,
Did I just say that out loud?
"Yes you did"
"Well.. shit"
He laughed again, throwing his head back.
"Stop laughing" I giggled,
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry" He bit his lip, stopping himself
"You still haven't told me your name" I pointed out
He stretched his hand for me to shake, "Taehyung"
"Kim Taehyung"
We shook hands, my heart killing me at the quick contact
Taehyung, huh
Kiara's pov
I rubbed my eyes and yawned,
I glanced at the clock and saw that it was already 7:40 in the morning,
I glanced at both sides of the bed and saw that Mina and Hareum were no longer there.
I groaned and stood up, making my way to the bathroom.
Mina and Hareum were my roommates. They were really nice.
I took a bath and slid out of the shower, brushing my teeth during the process.
I smiled when I saw the clothes on the couch. They let me borrow their clothes and gave me some underwear. New ones, of course.
After I finished changing, I went out and went to the living room.
"Good morning, Kiara" Hyuna said, giving me a warm smile
"Good morning" I smiled back,
I greeted the others and noticed that nearly everyone's awake except Yoongi, Taehyung,Jungkook, Hara And Chaeyong.
Wait, Taehyung?
"Taehyung's not awake yet?" I asked Jimin as I sat beside him on the couch
"Oh no, he's already awake. He's in the kitchen right now, helping Hara and Jin for breakfast"
"Oh, okay. I'll go check if they need help"
Hara. She was that girl who eyed me the whole night
I shuddered and continued my way to the kitchen. I stopped mid-way when I heard him laugh followed by Jin's.
I furrowed my eyebrows and took a peak.
Taehyung was cupping both sides of Hara's cheeks and there was flour on his face.
Hara laughed and tried to get his hands off but Taehyung quickly took a dip of flour before playfully massaging it to her cheeks.
Jin was still cooking eggs while he just laughed at the silliness of the two.
why are they suddenly close?
I bit my lip as I continued to watch the two. An unfamiliar feeling at the pit of my stomach.
They look like a couple.
Hara scolded Taehyung but she had that silly smile on her face. The guy pouted before they both washed the flour off.
I just stood there, dumbfounded.
Jin looked to where I was standing and before I could hide, he called me out, "Hey! Kiara! Why are you hiding?"
"Shit" I muttered a low curse before revealing myself
I caught Taehyung's eye but I immediately looked away.
"I asked you a question child"
I blushed, "I-I just thought you might need an extra hand in the kitchen" I looked down and bit my lip.
Why am I feeling irritated?
"Well, you can help me out. Slice these onions for me will ya?"
I nodded quietly and washed my hands. I could still feel his gaze on me but I chose to ignore it
I positioned myself beside Jin and took the knife before doing what I was told.
"Yo, Tae. You're suddenly quiet. You had a stroke or what?" I heard Hara said
I heard Jin choke beside me,
"No, it's nothing" I heard him laugh before helping her out.
I tuned the both of them down and continued slicing. Pushing the slight feeling of jealousy to oblivion.
"Thank you for the breakfast!" Hoseok happily said before gulping his water down
"Yeah, it was tasty" Namjoon agreed
"Well, Hara is a really great cook. Her and I made quite a team" Jin smiled before high-fiving the woman
"Well, it's all thanks to my assistant over here" She jokingly nudged Taehyung, earning a chuckle from him
choke yo self.
"You're awfully quiet Kiara. Is something wrong?" Jungkook whispered beside me
"Nothing's wrong. What makes you think that?" I whispered back
"Well for starters, you kept eyeing the two. Are you perhaps..jealous?"
I choked on my food.
Jimin's eyes widened before quickly giving me a glass of water. I gulped it all down and coughed
"What?!" I whisper yell at the man beside me
"Well I guess I'm right, huh? You are jealous" He grinned
"No I'm not" I hissed
Why would I be jealous?
"Really? So you don't mind if the two of them get together?"
"They wouldn't—"
"What makes you think that?" He asked, his eyes challenging me
I bit my lower lip and glanced at him.
He was already looking at me. His eyes looking back and forth between Jungkook and I.
I gulped,
"So? What makes you think that they won't get together? They have that chemistry you know"
I clicked my tongue and looked at the annoying bunny,
"I just— I don't know, okay? I just have that feeling"
He hummed, unconvinced by my answer,
It took me a few more minutes before I cracked,
"Fine! I may be a little jealous. So what?" I whispered harshly at him
The young man had that satisfactory look on his face, grinning "I knew it"
"Shut up" I looked down on my plate, blushing
I can't believe I just said that
He leaned close to me before whispering, "Don't worry, I'm forever team Taehyung and Kiara"
My face heated up, unaware of the look he was giving me
After we finished breakfast, Mina and Hoseok offered to wash the plates while the others went back to the living room to play some chess
I went straight to the balcony, saying that I need to take some fresh air.
And here I am now.
In the balcony, confused of what the hell I'm feeling.
I ducked my head and cussed as the thought of the two of them flashed in my mind.
I kicked a stray pebble on the ground and watched as it fell down.
"Geez, what did that pebble ever do to you?"
I stiffened,
"Are you ignoring me Kiara?"
I huffed, suddenly coming back to my senses, "Why would I ignore you?"
He shrugged, "I don't know. You tell me"
I followed his every movement, "Why are you here?" I changed the subject
"I want to know why you're ignoring me"
I rolled my eyes, "And I'm telling you, I'm not. If I was, then I wouldn't be talking to you right now, would I?"
He observed me, looking for clues, "You're mad at me"
I clenched my jaw, "I'm not"
"Tell me why, Kiara"
"I said I'm no—"
He pulled me in his chest, both of his arms secured on both sides of my waist. My eyes widened at our proximity,
"Tell me" He whispered, his minty breath fanning my face
"I-i—"
"What were you talking about with Jungkook?"
His eyes were getting darker, making me gulp "N-nothing" I lied, avoiding his stare
"Doesn't seem like nothing to me" He pointed out
"Why do you care?" I snapped, suddenly feeling irritated
"Just because"
"Just because? I wasn't meddling with you and Hara so why would you meddle with me and Jungkook?" I asked, my face scowling a bit as I mentioned her name
"You're jealous"
I gasped, "No I'm not" I glared at him
He smirked, "Now I know why you kept ignoring me"
I clenched my jaw and tried to get away from his grasp but he only pulled me closer making me gasp,
Our noses were nearly touching,
He trailed his hand on both sides of my waist, not breaking eye contact. I sucked in a breath when he leaned in,
"Just be honest, Kiara" he whispered
I closed my eyes, "Were you jealous?"
I bit my lip hard and whimpered, "Yes"
"Yes?"
I could feel him smirking as I hummed in response. My knees felt weak. He was so close,
Too close
His perfume was invading my senses. I gripped his shirt tightly as he brushed his nose with mine.
"Be honest with me, baby"
I shuddered as his hands went inside my shirt, massaging my bare stomach,
"Do you like me?"
I opened my eyes and nearly whimpered when I locked eyes with him. My mind was urging me to speak but I couldn't
Do I like him?
My heart was beating so fast. His eyes holding such intensity that I'm afraid that I might drown in them.
Do I like him?
"Tell me, baby" He whispered, resting his forehead in mine
"Taehyung"
"Tell me" His voice got deeper, his eyes luring me in
"Yes" I whispered,
"I like you, Kim Taehyung"
And with that, he closed the gap between us and smashed his lips on mine.
