I made my way back to where Stella was and I grabbed my purse, picking up my drink to finish it so I didn't feel the guilt of wasting any of Stella's money.

"I think I'm going to head home." I said to her and wrapped an arm over her shoulder, pulling her close. "I'll send you money for the drinks."

Taehyung caught up with me now and it was obvious that Stella and the guy she was talking to noticed, they both wore a confused expression. "I'm walking her home." He said to them and grabbed my hand.

"No, he's not." I pulled my hand out of his and set my sights on walking out of this bar.

I heard him say, "I'll get her home", and then he followed behind me, getting in front of me just in time to push the door open. "Why do you freak out like this?"

"What?" I said to him, showing on my face how annoyed I was. "You think I'm the one that freaks out?"

"Yeah. Look at you." He said as we pushed past the people standing outside of the bar smoking and went onto the sidewalk on the way to my apartment.

I laughed now in his face then looked away from him, trying to walk faster but I needed to stay on my feet. The alcohol had gotten to me way more than I intended tonight. "Okay, yeah. I'm the one that freaks out."

A older woman and her husband walked by us and looked concerned, so Taehyung grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him so we didn't look suspicious.

After we walked by them I pulled it back out and pushed it down to my side. "Stop following me."

"You're so drunk right now, you can't just walk all the way home."

"Yeah, I can." I rolled my eyes and just felt the need of Jungkook here. I really am done with Taehyung, I am so sick of feeling this way over nothing. It has made me fee dramatic, pathetic, and annoying.

He jogged a little to be in front of me and I just looked past him. "She's a friend of my sisters. I have to flirt with her to help my sister."

I looked at him confused, stopping where I was walking. I wanted to ask him why he had to do that or why he didn't tell me he had a sister in the first place. But the biggest question is the one that slipped out. "Where have you been all week?"

His arms crossed over his chest and he looked around, almost like he was searching for the answer. "I just had stuff to do."

"But what stuff?!" I pressed.

"Can we keep walking?"

"No." I said, making sure my drunk and wobbly legs were planting in the ground right here on the sidewalk.

I just stared at him and he sighed. "Why do you want to know so bad? What does it concern you?"

"Okay. You're right." I said and started to walk away from him. When I heard him walk behind me I turned around and firmly spoke. "Leave me alone!"

"Not until you get home safe." He said.

I stepped to the edge of the sidewalk and help out my hand, deciding to take a taxi so that way he knew I wouldn't be walking and so then he'd leave me alone. He didn't say anything but he stood close by.

When a taxi pulled up I opened the door and said my address, it wasn't far at all. Before I could close the door, Taehyung climbed into the car and took the seat beside mine. I just looked at him with the expression of annoyance then looked out the other window, the driver began to go and I felt Taehyung's eyes on me.
