Can't Help Falling in Love

Take you Home

It's already 5 pm.

I should have left earlier.
I forgot about the occasion because Taehyung is texting me.

Text after texts from time to time.

I need to prepare and fix myself for Shinmi's birthday.

"Hyejin, have you seen my bucket hat?" I asked her.

"My god Wheein-ah, you got 7 bucket hats there. Why not use one of them?" she answered then continue doing her staff. Kimchi thingy.

"Send my regards Wheein-ie." Solar eonnie said.

"Yes eonnie, how about you Moonbyul eonnie? Do you want to come? I think Sandeul oppa is there too."

"Sandeul? No thanks. I will also go somewhere later. Send my regards also." Moonbyul eonnie answered.

"Let me come with you Wheein-ah." Hyejin said.

I saw hyejin still dressed at home.

"Eonnie, I have to go. You know, it's embarrasing to come late."

I run towards the door and took a glance to the three ladies.

I saw them holding and tickling Hyejin. I love them so much.

I was outside Gyeongri's house.
Maybe the party is starting, it's embarrassing to go inside.

"Jung Wheein? You're Jung Wheein right?" Someone asked so I turned myself and saw Vernon. Vernon of Seventeen.

Gyeongri only knows so many idols.
The ones inside are definitely idols.

"Oh, hi Vernon." I bowed politely.

"Why are you still here? Are you waiting for someone?" he asked.

"No. I think I'm late, it's embarrassing to go inside."

"Late? So, I'm late also. Let's go inside together." he smiled and lead the way.

I smiled also and followed him.
Once we were inside, I couldn't help but stare. I saw familiar faces—celebrities.

When Vernon and I were really inside, I think they were looking at us. I saw Gyeongri running towards us.

"I thought you were not coming. You too Vernon. Come on, sit here in front."

She lead the way, I and Vernon followed her.

Even though I found a seat, I was still embarrassed.

I turned myself checking every edge of the hall and found myself amazed by them.

"Taehyung-ah! Finally! I thought you were not coming also. Come, seat here."

Taehyung? Kim Taehyung?

I tried not to look at Gyeongri's place. But I failed because she lead Kim Taehyung beside me.

"Wheein? You're hear also?" he said between his giggles.

"Yes. Hi V sunbaenim."

"I told you already not to call me sunbaenim, we're in the same age right?"

I nodded repeatedly and found him smiling.

"Are you two close?" Vernon asks while raising one of his eyebrows.

"Not really."
"Yes."

Taehyung and I answered in chorus. I saw Vernon was unsatisfied with our answer.

Imagine? We answered differently.

The party went smoothly and perfect.
It's in the third part now, dinner.

What a breathtaking foods.
But I'm on diet for our upcoming comeback. I don't know what to eat.

"Just eat all Wheein-ah." and I saw Taehyung put bakemac, fish cakes, sushi etc on my plate.

"Oh, um. I need to diet Taehyung-ah." I said in low voice.

"You don't need to diet, you're still beautiful no matter what."

What? What's with him?
Taehyung-ah !!! Why are you so? Urghh!

I saw some people looking at us. What if they think were dating?

-----

I looked around, they were taking pictures, dancing, laughing, drinking etc.

Time check it's 10 pm, I need to go home to rest. We have a schedule tomorrow.

I already said my goodbye to Gyeongri earlier, because she might go busy.

I walk towards the door and left.

I decided to go to the nearest convenience store to have some noodles.

Kim Taehyung put so many meats and sweets on my plate earlier. What's with him?

*Ting (text message)

Taehyung: Why did you leave immediately? I would have taken you home.

I would have taken you home.
I would have taken you home.
I would have taken you home.

Arrrghhhhhh. I cringe, why is he like this?

Me: I have to go, to rest. We have a schedule tomorrow.

Taehyung: Did you got home safely?

Me: Honestly, I haven't been home yet. I'm at a convenience store and grab some ramen.

Taehyung: Oh is it my fault? I put so much meat and sweets earlier. I'm sorry.

Sh|t he's so cute.

Me: Don't be, it's okay.

Taehyung: No. What convenience store did you go. I'll come there and treat you.

I want to tell him where I am, but I need to make a gap.

It's not the right time and moment to hangout together.

Should I let myself fall for him?
Am I ready to face conflicts?
Am I ready?

Me: I'm done eating my food. Actually, I'm going home right now.
