"What are you doing with him?"

Forgetting the last bit of self conscience, Jimin shrugged off the feeling of guilt—expressing only anger through his tone and his eyes.

Taking long strides towards him, Ryuhee raised her hand and placed a hard slap across his face. Taehyung was surprised and so was Ryuhee herself. She never knew that she could hurt the love of her life like that. It's Jimin.

"Fuck off."

Jimin's eyes widened as his eyes found her once again. He grabbed her arm to prevent her from going away. "What was that for, Ryu? I thought—" his voice broke, "I thought we were just giving each other some space. I didn't know that—" The same disgust was back in his tone, "Hoeing around with others already."

Ryuhee could neither speak nor move. She felt as if her feets were glued to the ground, not letting her take another step from the man, she did not even know anymore. Just then she was free—free from that monster's hold.

Taehyung yeeted Jimin's hand off of her arm. "Don't you ever touch her again," he growled—his dark brown eyes glaring at him, holding fury in them. Then he turned to Ryuhee and encircled his fingers around her wrist to drag her along with him.

But the female halted in her steps to turn to her once boyfriend. "I am breaking up with you, Jimin if that's what you still are," she made it clear to avoid the word 'hoeing' again.

Taehyung parked his car in front of Ryuhee's house. But she did not even notice that they had already arrived. "Can I come in?" Taehyung spoke up. His fingers are slowly grazing the steering wheel.

"Huh?" Ryuhee finally broke out of her trance to see him sheepishly smiling at her. "My house is all the way to the opposite side of Seoul."

"Your house is in gangnam," she muttered, squinting her eyes. "Come on!" Taehyung whined, "I'm tired!"

Ryuhee let out a sigh in defeat, letting him inside her apartment. Taehyung's pupils flared, expressing his cautiousness. "Did someone break in?" He asked in a low voice.

"Yeah yeah—I am messy and it's funny," she plopped down on the couch. Mess was an understatement to describe the current state of her apartment. Foods were spilled and spread everywhere.

Her clothes were not organised at all. There were used paper plates, paper cups and napkins. She was too depressed for the past few days to clean her place. But now she felt as though that burden had finally left from her shoulders, making her feel lighter.

"I don't think it's funny at all. I think it's kind of concerning," Taehyung continued teasing Ryuhee as he kept stumbling upon things and struggled to find a place to sit.

"Then let's do cleaning."

As said was done. Both of them spent the next couple of hours to clean the apartment. After finishing, Ryuhee used a freshner spray to get rid of the icky odour.

They were now sitting beside each other in silence, not knowing what to say anymore. Taehyung awkwardly glanced around before breaking the ice, "Wanna go to the mall again?"

Ryuhee quirked one eyebrow at him, doubting his mental stability. "You said that you were tired to go home and now you want to go back to the place, we came from—at this time?" She stretched her hand to get the watch on her wrist in front of his eyes.

Taehyung shoved her hand away, exhaling deeply. "Remember what I had told you about my favourite part of being my mom's son?"

Ryuhee just shook her head. She genuinely did not have any clue about what he was saying. Taehyung flicked on her forehead to get a groan out of her.

"It's almost getting dawn."

Just then, the female remembered—"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."

"Ah," she muttered upon realising, "So you are saying that we are going to the mall to see sunrise now?"

Taehyung and Ryuhee were back to the mall which was now closed. "Quick," the female whispered, fearing if someone would see them.

Taehyung clicked his tongue in annoyance as he took out the key to the lock of the staircase. They were not in front of the entrance to the mall but they were entering through the staircase.

"Let me do that," Ryuhee offered to unlock the metallic door by herself. "Stay still," Taehyung was having a hard time to keep her calm.

After the door was finally open, they took the elevator and went to the top floor. There, Taehyung used his keys once again to unlock the glass door to the terrace.

Once they were under the open sky and the sun was slowly creeping out of the grey clouds, Ryuhee seemed to have forgotten everything—the things that happened today—her breaking up with Jimin—everything.

The golden rays with the tints of orange and red made her feel like the long nightmare was finally over and the morning had come with new hopes and possibilities. She felt strangely calm with the person, she had known for such a less time.

"It's so beautiful."

Taehyung's eyes never left Ryuhee. The way, she kept admiring the sunrise—the way her eyes were slightly widened and lips slightly parted—the way the honey-gold sunlight radiated her skin tone and defined her facial features.

She looks breathtaking.

"I know, right?" Taehyung responded as if she were looking at the same thing which he was—herself. As if—He just found his new sunrise—the girl, smiling up at the sky, in front of him.
