Author's POV:
"Have you seen Chaeyoung today babe?" Jennie asked as she's sitting across the table Taehyung's sitting by the cafeteria.
"...I haven't seen her today and she doesn't reply to my texts..."
"Well... no I haven't... I thought she's with you all day" Taehyung immediately placed his fork onto his plate as he looked up to Jennie who's looking anxious.
"Where in the world is she..." Jennie heaved a deep long sigh as her attention immediately shifted to her phone, dialing Chaeyoung's number once again and to be denied yet again.
"Let me try dialing Yoongi" Taehyung picked his phone from the table and dialed Yoongi's number but it brought him straight to the voicemail.
With a light sigh, Taehyung turned to text Yoongi instead before he placed his gadget back onto the table.
"So?" Jennie asked and Taehyung just shook his head before his phone beeped.
Quickly he checked his cell and a sigh of relief escaped his lips. "She's with Yoongi right now by the diner, said that she's been there since this morning and didn't want to go to her classes today"
"Really?" She heaved the same sigh in relief before leaving her back against the chair and relaxing her tense body down. "Thank goodness, at least she's fine"
"You know... is it normal for me to be quite happy that the two... you know..." Taehyung suddenly added and Jennie cocked her brows.
"...the two are what exactly Tae?"
"Closer" Taehyung leaned his head forward as he whispered and Jennie could only manage chuckle. "I thought I was the only one to be feeling that kind of way"
"You saw it as well I supposed?" He asked and she nodded.
"Come on... anyone who knew Yoongi would probably realize that he cares for Chaeyoung right now, it's obvious actually" She shrugged.
"But not anyone... maybe Chaeyoung still doesn't see it that way... or am I wrong?" Taehyung took the last bite of his lunch before finishing his drink.
"Just give her time... she's too careful about having a love life at the moment but when she does see his honest attention for her... she'll come through" Jennie confidently answered and Taehyung cocked his eyebrows.
"Too careful? What happened actually if I may ask?" He curiously asked.
"Well let's just say that she once rushed in having a relationship back in high school... in the end he cheated on her and left her behind" Jennie honestly answered.
"Dear me... poor woman..." Taehyung said before a light smile formed on his lips. "...Well if she ends up with my mate, then she doesn't have to worry about anything."
"And why's that?" She asked as she's curious.
"When you never date anyone even though you're old and matured and could provide the partner with economy supports... you know he's going to stay loyal when he found the queen" Taehyung said.
"Yoongi never dated anyone? Or is it another one of your lame jokes?" Jennie made a smug face and Taehyung simply shook his head. "...This one's a fact."
"Goodness... so a person like that does exist..." Jennie said as she's quite surprised.
"...Wait... I didn't get the chance to ask this... How many girls have you dated excluding me?" Jennie leaned her face closer, catching Taehyung by surprise as he managed a nervous chuckle.
"Well... two excluding you... that's my honest answer" He answered.
"And which one of us is the best person you ever dated?" She fired a quick one again.
"This is a trick question... right?" Taehyung pouted and she pouted the same as him before he chuckled, cupping her face with his hands and pinched both of her cheeks.
"Of course you're the best Jendeukie"
Chaeyoung's POV:
"Do you really just leave me here-" I hissed lightly as he just casually left the table we're sitting on the second he explained to me everything regarding his reasons and the story of her beloved mother...
Quickly I grabbed my bag and novel before standing up and quickly walked over to the counter where Seokjin oppa was standing at.
"Oppa, how much is the meal? The usual?" I asked as I'm in a rush in getting my wallet.
"Oh don't worry about it Chaeyoung, it's on the house" He whispered and I heaved a sigh in relief.
"Thank you, I got to go now, see you next time" I bowed down lightly before I reached the front entrance and exited the diner.
My eyes was roaming around the area till I saw Yoongi was approaching the bus stand at the end of the block so I ran in my sneakers, approaching him.
"Yah Min Yoongi!" I called out to him as I'm puffing and huffing, catching my breath. "Do you always leave people you talk to after saying something rather important!?"
"Why did you even run, it's not even that far Chaeyoung. And what do you even mean leave? I told you I'm heading to the studio so that's why I'm leaving" He answered rather calmly.
"Really? Really Yoongi? You just told me what could've been the most valuable information there is for me and you didn't even give me the chance to say anything back and I do have something to say to you" I breathed out a long one, fixing my glasses, staring at him who's already looking at me.
"What is it? Don't be too long or I'll miss the taxis" He replied.
"First of all, thank you for being honest with me... and I want to apologize for thinking that you're just using my voice for you own benefits" I said.
"Accepted" He quickly answered.
"And by that I made up my mind..." I took a deep breath as he's looking at me and I could see that he's anticipating it as much as I am.
"I've decided... for you and your late mother, I will gladly lend my voice for you. I'll sing your song for you and for your mother as well" I said loud and clear.
And in the same exact moment...
...his gummy smile made an appearance once again... that contagious smile easily infected me to the point where I smiled widely.
"Really?" Was the only reply he could muttered and I just nodded my head.
"You know... a little suggestion... smile a little more after this alright?" I jokingly punched his shoulder.
"...believe me or not, it eases people around you when you smile. It definitely eases me as wel-"
"Thank you Chaeyoung" He suddenly spoke and with his smile lightened and made me chuckled silently. "You're welcome"
"So can I join you at the studio and get started straight away?" I asked and he heaved a deep sigh of relief before nodding.
"Do you want to just walk our way there? It's not that far right?" I asked.
"Sure" He answered with a nod
Yoongi's POV:
Chaeyoung, I'm thankful that you're being understanding with me and I'm thankful that you agreed to help me either way. I'm really thankful, I really do and I hope you could see it as well.
The walk towards the studio didn't feel that long as excitements and anticipation took over my body and before I knew it, we arrived at the studio's door.
Quickly I unlocked the door and went inside then she followed seconds after before she closed the door.
I was about to reach for the couch before she beat me to it as she plunged down to the leather couch. "I miss this comfy sofa~"
Chuckling silently under my breath, I shifted my body and approached my desk instead as I'm going through the stacks of paper placed on a paper tray by the edge of the table.
"Can we take this sofa home Yoongi? It's so comfortable to lay on it" I overheard her and I just scoff lightly.
"What's wrong with the sofa back at the apartment anyway? Do you sleep on couch now instead of your bed?" I asked with my back facing her and my hands still going through the stack of papers.
"Well it's just so comfy, that's all... the sofa's back home is so old I'm afraid the springs inside might pop out any moment..." She answered.
"... Yeah I realized that as well actually" I answered. "That's why I'm saving up some money at the moment. Planning to buy a new couch for home"
"Do you always does thing without telling me beforehand?" She quickly asked and I just shrugged.
"I'll chip in with some of my leftover money this month as well. And don't you dare say that I don't have to Min Yoongi, if we're getting a new couch then we're getting it with our money" She answered just at the same time I found the paper I've been looking.
With a long breath, I went back to the couch and sat down beside her. "Alright, we'll think about the couch next time. Here it is"
I handed her the paper in my hand before she took it and just looking at it straight away.
"... If it is you...? Is that... is that the title?" She asked and I nodded.
"I planned it to be a slow song with a ballad kind of genre" I explained and her eyes couldn't retreat away from the paper and I took the chance to mesmerize her face with those cheeks...
"Yoongi this is quite amazing... the lyrics you made..." She whispered.
"Well... this was considered a failed product at first... this was supposed to be my second song I compose but I lost motivation halfway through..." I said.
"But you finished it now? Why? Because of my voice?" She asked in a joking way but I could only nodded with a serious expression on my face.
"Guess I helped you in a lot of ways since you moved here, I might even ask for a payment..." She chuckled sheepishly. "I'm just joking"
"Name me your price" I answered quickly and silenced her.
"W-what no! no I'm just joking Yoongi don't take it too seriously now..." She held her hands up.
"You're right, you helped me in a lot of ways prior to this point and it's reasonable that I should give you something back in return. So name me your price" I asked again as I stood up and went back to my table, sorting the papers back.
"I... I don't know..." I heard her light sigh as she remained silent after that.
"Come on, if you want me to treat you to lunch, I can, you want ice cream or whatever?" I shrugged while I'm still back facing her.
"I don't want anything from you except one thing..." She said and I turned around before realizing that she's now standing in front of me.
Her expression remained unreadable as she was staring straight at my eyes and I managed a silent gulp.
"Yoongi, I don't need anything, I just want you to be honest with me." She said rather seriously and I crossed my arms on my chest, trying to look calm even though this nervousness...
God... why was she's so serious all of the sudden...
"Last night, I had a feeling that I did nothing that you told me I did but I did something else, I knew I did something else but I can't remember it at all but you do." She added.
Okay... I knew where this was going...
"...So Yoongi, I know you're probably someone that seemed to be a bit secretive some times but I want you to tell me exactly what I did last night. Because knowing you, waking up on your bed was very unlikely to happen unless something happened last night that led to it."
"... I know maybe you're not comfortable in telling me but please trust me that it's killing me more when I knew that I did something yet I can't remember anything. It made me over thinking stuffs Yoongi."
"Chaeyoung, there's nothing more to say, I told you everythin-"
"Please? Yoongi I know you're not a mean person. " She whispered rather softly and I dropped my head, breathing in a deep one.
I guess I had no other choice...
I looked up back to her eyes. "When you walked into my room last night... drunk. You said gibberish stuffs which I can't remember except for one particular thing" I said and I could see the uneasiness in her face.
"...I don't know if it's just your drunk slurs or not but you said that you're head to heels over me and that actually surprised me a little bit." I bravely said.
"... Is that all..." She whispered rather softly and I glanced away from her eyes that's looking at mine.
"... I wish that was all to be honest" I whispered.
"What do you mean?" She asked and I silently sighed before closing my eyes.
"You kissed me Chaeyoung" I said it bravely and clearly though I can't seem to look at her in the face when I told her.
"I see..." Her whispers sent shiver down my body so I bravely opened my eyes and looked back straight at her. She doesn't seem surprise nor shocked, she's rather calm instead so I took a deep breath in.
"Now that I told you the truth, there's something that I want you to tell me as well" I asked as I took a step forward, closing the gap between her and me.
"Was it just one of your drunk slurs... or do you actually mean everything that you just said to me last night" I whispered with a heart that's pacing too fast it might burst out any moment.
"Saying something like that, was bold yet it left a nerve wrecking amount of uneasiness inside me. I don't want to lie, I didn't slept that well last night, thinking about your words..." I added and she turned her head to the side, glancing away from me.
"Yoongi, every thing that I said to you last night, I apologize for it..." She whispered and I don't know why something feels like breaking in me...
"Chaeyoung you still haven't answered my questio-"
"Yes" I faintly heard her reply as she cut me off.
"What was that...?" I asked again for confirmation but instead of her answering...
My eyes widened as her body suddenly leaned forward and her lips found its way and crashed on mine rather calmly.
Her lips... her soft lips... she kissed me again...
This spell-bound kiss of hers... so sweet yet so breathtaking, amazing like fireworks that I couldn't help but letting her taking control over my sanity.
My arms found their way around her small waist, pulling her closer as she tilted her head and deepened her kiss on my lips.
Her eyes were closed shut so I closed mine and the sensation was miles better than it already was.
It doesn't take long before she broke the kiss and her forehead rested on mine as we're catching our breath with our eyes still closed shut.
"It's been a very frustrated couple of weeks for me..." She spoke first. "... It's killing me every day when I tried so hard to conceal this feelings of mine for you... I'm afraid that the second I opened up, you'll leave me..."
"But Yoongi, I can't hold it in anymore, the more I do, the more it tortures me and I don't want to remain like this... remain as if nothing happened but knowing that something did happened..."
"Chaeyoung..." I whispered as I opened my eyes where her dazzling orbs was staring at mine. I drowned into that eyes instantly and I have no regrets that I did.
"... And what happens, happened, I admit that I've fallen in love with you..."
This euphoria...
This sensation of unknowing sense of happiness began taking over me like adrenaline. Such simple words left such huge effect in us.
My hand found its way to her cheek and she naturally leaned her face into my touch with her eyes closed before I placed my palm on her nape.
Her eyes looking back at me as I leaned forward, closing our distance yet again before I landed my lips back on hers and she willingly gave in as her arms wrapped around my neck.
I told myself... that love is the last thing that I actually want to have at this stage of my life before... but the longer I spent my time with her...
...I'm willing to take back my words and take my chances with love, with Chaeyoung.
"Chaeyoung..." I whispered in between the kiss. "... I too had fallen for you..."
And maybe this was the missing piece that I needed after all...
Would you believe that it took thirty chapters just for them to have their first official/non-drunk kiss?
Hope this will satisfy you all.
