Chaeyoung's POV
"No!" I pouted as I throw the dress on my bed.
"Too revealing."
I picked another.
"Too long..."
And another.
"Too ordinary..."
A long sigh escaped my almost quivering lips.
"Why is it that hard to find something to wear?" I whisper-cry before plopping my body on my bed in surrender.
Taehyung told me we'll go somewhere later and now I'm starting to freak out.
My eyes landed on all the dresses scattered on my bed. I didn't know I have this many.
In all honesty, I probably had never worn more than half of them nor had I even seen them before. I'm pretty sure it was my Mom's doing.
My mind drifted to what happened earlier after Taehyung drove me home.
*flashback
"Wait- ahhh, awww!" I hissed as Taehyung gently taps some cream on my arm where a big mosquito bite was showing. It was red and the skin was scratched because of my stupidity.
After what happened, I ended up skipping my last class, and him accompanying me home.
"Who told you to go around those bushes?" he snickered, his right hand gently holding my arm while the other, he kept on using to dab medicine on my marks.
As he was busy checking my bruises, I was able to freely study his face.
Those beautiful eyes...
The way his hair brushes into his skin...his rosy cheeks that would easily put shame into mine.
And his lips, they were inviting. I don't have to touch it for me to know it's soft. It was so red, perhaps redder than my own.
I was too focused on checking him out that I failed to realize that I have leaned on closer to him than I was supposed to.
"Too close..." he whispered, eyes still on my arms.
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"You're too close, Chaeyoung," he chuckled. And even without seeing my face, I know I was blushing. So I backed away a little only to be pulled back by him. This time, it was gentle and careful.
"Is your back still hurting?" he worriedly asked and I had to stop myself from lifting my hand so I can touch his beautiful face.
He looked like he was beating himself for it. My mind can still vividly remember how his body started shaking while hugging me earlier. I was totally caught off-guard and startled at his reaction.
He continuedly to apologize for what he did and I knew he was startled himself.
"Nope. Taheyung, I told you it wasn't really painful. I was just startled earlier. These mosquito bites are the ones you should be worrying about," I chuckled, avoiding his glance a little when I realized that he'd been staring at me too much I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it.
A long sigh escaped his lips.
"You didn't answer my question. What were you doing there with Bambam earlier?"
I bite my lower lip as I found myself lost in his eyes.
They were mesmerizing.
"I,-" I gulped. "I was trying to avoid you guys so I walked on that pathway instead. And he saw me," I admitted, my head hung low in embarrassment.
"Why were you avoiding us?" he asked confused.
At that, I grimaced.
How am I supposed to tell him that I was scared to show myself to him after he avoided me?
"Don't answer. I got it," he exclaimed before putting the cream back into the first aid kit beside him. That means he also let go of my hand.
Without intending to do so, my lips puckered, and he noticed ending up with him on a chuckle.
My eyes landed back on him as I heard him laugh.
"Why?" I asked confused but the glint in his eyes tells me otherwise.
He was looking at me amused.
He was sitting on the table in front facing me while he sits on the couch, our knees touching a little.
Just then, he started leaning a little, his face a few inches closer to mine.
Shit.
My heart started hammering inside my chest, my breath hitching in my throat, unable to handle the close proximity.
Kim Taehyung, he knows exactly what to do to make me lose all my shits.
Nope. Actually, he doesn't need to do anything just his mere existence is enough to take my breath away.
"I'm sorry for avoiding you last night" he whispered, our eyes still locked with each other.
No words came out of my mouth as I just watch him, like how he was staring at me.
"Beautiful..." he whispered and it felt like my eardrums are going to burst at how loud my heart is beating.
And then his face started moving closer.
And closer...
And even closer...
His lips grazed over mine, leaving me almost breathless.
"Chaeyoung..." he whispered, his breath hitting my lower lips.
Shit.
Just when I was about to close my eyes, I heard a loud sound of something crashing and both our heads snapped to the front door when we heard people quarreling.
"Hey, Jungkook, are you not getting off of me?" I heard my brother's voice and a groan escaped my lips while Taehyung was chuckling in front of me.
Why is he always around?
"Wait hyung, we have to run. Chaeyoung will kill us," he mumbled as he tries to get off my brother's back who was still hissing in pain.
"Well get off me first because I might kill you before my sister gets a hold of you, you idiot!"
I turned my attention back to Taehyung, my eyes widened when our eyes locked once again. He was showing his boxy smile and that's more than enough for me to stand up and try to run away.
However, before I can even make a step forward, his hand grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him until his arms were already wrapped around me.
"Oh my-! " my words were stopped midway when he suddenly gave me a peck on my lips, leaving me with my mouth wide open.
Our faces were too close, if I move even more our lips will touch once again.
"Taehyung..." I whispered, my heart beating rapidly yet my mind seemed to blackout.
He kissed me.
I know it was fast but my lips can still feel the lingering sensation that his lips left over mine.
"Hmmm?" he teased and I almost choked on my saliva, his arms still wrapped around my waist while my hands are leaning on his chest.
He can probably hear the loud beating of my heart.
Kim Taehyung, what are you doing to me?
"Hyung, he kissed her. We have to pay Jin hyung ten dollars," I heard Jungkook from behind us and my brother cursing.
"Damn it, I should have bet the other way around," my brother hissed and Taehyung grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it on my brother without releasing his other arm around me.
He then turned back towards me still grinning, "Freshen up. Let's go out. I'll be back in two hours," he mumbled before fixing my hair and give ng me a sweet kiss on my forehead before he slowly heading out through our door giving Jungkook a high-five and nudging my brother.
Wait, what just happened?
"Yah, crybaby, looks like you just scored your very first date tonight huh?" my brother smirked and I almost lost my cool.
Holy shit.
