Dawn Of Us || KTH [Completed (✓)]

12| Prince

"Where are you going?"

Taehyung smiled. "Wherever you want."

I was totally taken aback. A child was crying at a distant. His mother was continuously trying to shush him. But he was not obeying her—just like this guy in front of me. He was not paying heed to me at all. He was not going to leave me alone.

"Okay. You can have ice-cream." The mother accepted defeat at last. She gave up against her crying son.

But why should I?

"Ugh!" I got into the car and sat on the passenger seat. Taehyung smiled victoriously. I hated that smile. But I could not leave my car with him and just go. I facepalmed.

Ryuhee fell asleep after a little while. Even though she was complaining, she actually felt comforted with Taehyung. And being as sleep deprived as she was, she was asleep without her knowledge.

Taehyung glanced at Ryuhee. Seeing her sleeping so soundly made him feel weird inside. He did not want to know why he was spending so much efforts on the person he knew just for a few days.

He just knew that after seeing her getting afraid of such a thing like lightning and her disappearing of the map for half a week, he could not just leave the matter.

The car stopped abruptly, waking Ryuhee up in the process. She yawned slightly. "I thought we are going where I want to."

Taehyung grinned. "Trust me, you will want to be here."

Ryuhee opened her eyes fully to see a shopping mall in front of her. She got out of the car. "Are you—" Taehyung did not let her talk. He held her hand and dragged her along with him. No matter how much Ryuhee was blabbering about letting him go off of her hand, all went past his ears.

They got into the elevator. Taehyung pressed the top button. The rooftop? Ryuhee squinted her eyes.

When they got there, Taehyung led her to a wooden bench. It was really high. The top of high buildings could be seen from here. The sky looked amazing.

"Why are you here?" Ryuhee asked the question she was meaning to, from very long ago.

Taehyung looked ahead. "I come here whenever I am stressed."

"And then?" She asked even though she knew the answer.

He chuckled. "Play temple run or something?"

"Come on." Ryuhee shook her head. She used her hand to push back the few strands of her hair which were on her face. "I know you smoke."

Taehyung poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue. "Oh I forgot you did. Thank goodness. I won't have to lie."

Ryuhee fell silent. She remembered that day she saw him smoking for the first time. He disappeared for a days after that. Her gaze shifted to her wrist. He was wearing that worn out Gucci watch again. It always brought a question mark in her head.

"But not at the time of the sunrise."

"Huh?"

"I don't smoke when I come here to see the sunrise. At that time, I concentrate fully on the scenery. The sunrise is breathtaking from here. You should see it once." He looked at Ryuhee.

"The next sunrise is 18 hours later from now." Taehyung snickered seeing her poker face.

"I am not saying it has to be the next sunrise."

"But how do you manage to come up here while sunrise. Do they open the mall that early?"

"It's my mom's mall. She is the owner."

"Huh?"

"What?" Taehyung was confused seeing her bewildered expression.

"Nothing. Just—I knew you were rich but didn't know you are filthy rich."

Taehyung let out a laugh at her choice of words.

"Then why don't you stay with her? Isn't she in Korea?"

Taehyung looked at her flashing a bitter smile. "Mom stays with her boyfriend. I don't want to be the thorn."

Ryuhee laughed at that getting weird gaze from Taehyung. "I'm sorry. It's just—you are quite pitiful, you know?"

Taehyung clicked his tongue.

"So you are like a lonely prince?"

"Yeah," Taehyung shrugged, "Come to my palace sometime."

"I did though."

"Being half conscious."

A sigh left her lips. "I totally ruined my image in front of you, didn't I? First by being terrified of lightning then by taking a break from my relationship with Jimin for something so small."

Taehyung's eyes widened. "You two broke up?"

Ryuhee massaged her temples. She had absolutely forgotten that Taehyung did not know that part.

"I definitely didn't say that we broke up."

"Then what?" Taehyung interrogated.

Ryuhee stood up. "Since we are here already, let's do some shopping."

"You can't leave me hanging like that." Taehyung followed her while whining. But Ryuhee did not answer to his questions anymore.
