"Oh my god, Scarlet why is it so hard to reach you? Where are you right now? Did anything happen to you?" By the time Taehyung's voice entered my eardrum, my heart shattered into million pieces upon hearing the pure concerns in his voice.

"I'm so sorry, Tae." Apologizes was all I could think about at the moment. "I know I should inform you that I'm leaving."

"Yes, I was so worried. I went to your house and nobody's home." A big sigh then left his mouth. There was a thud sound from the other side and I guess Taehyung must have exit his house to talk to me outside. The sound of soft water running on the back giving me the clue that he was standing by the pond. "I thought something bad happen to you. I got a text from Luke that you're not going to Isabelle's wedding. Where are you right now? Want me to pick you up?"

His voice turned soft at the last question and I felt so warm inside knowing that among billions of people in this world, I got this magical named Taehyung to always care about me. And what I did to him, leaving him wondering and worrying about me for almost a day now without even a single text, or at least giving him a head up of where I was going, was so freaking selfish of me that I felt like flying back to Korea right at this instance and apologised in front of him.

"Tae," I called and he was quick to respond with a tender 'hmm?', "I wasn't in Korea right now."

There was silent and I was hyperventilating waiting for his respond. Then, another heavy sigh left his mouth as he muttered under his breath, "Wished I wasn't right."

"Huh?"

"You ghosted me for 19 hours, Scarlet." Taehyung said and every word sounds so heavy as they rolled out his tongue. "I was guessing you were in a plane to New Zealand. I knew how much you want to attend Bella's wedding," Then quietly he added, "but I still wished you wasn't going. Were you alone? Is everything alright?"

I was astonished. He really knew a lot about me and I really appreciated that he wasn't yell at me for making him worried to death. I believed he must have felt frustrate, but I'm still grateful that he wasn't throw all that on me and even respected my choice.

"I wasn't alone, Tae." I gulped the spit in my throat and ready to drop the bomb when he beat me to it and ranted, "I can accept that I guess about you going to New Zealand was right but if my guess about you leaving with Jungkook was also right, I don't think I can shut up about it."

My eyes widened at that. "How did you know?"

A very beautiful words left his mouth, as he groaned in aggravation. "For real Scarlet? Why Jungkook out of everyone?!"

"How did you know about this?" I asked again ignoring his yelling.

"Soobin saw you riding his car and everyone was trying to reach him because he skipped the team dinner. I just thought it was suspicious that you both went missing at the same time." There was a frustration sigh leaving his mouth, "Now answer me why him out of all people?"

"He just did something you would do, Taehyung." I told, "Of course I wanted you here with me instead but I don't want you to abandon your game."

"There is always a substitute Scarlet."

"No, I wouldn't allow that." I stated sternly. "Just like how you know how much attending Bella's wedding means to me, I also know how much the final game means to you, Tae."

Silence took over, followed by a heavy sigh from Taehyung. "I don't like the idea of you with him, but at least you are with someone you know."

Taehyung said and a smile crawled out at the corner of my lips, "Thank you, babe."
