Sunshine

Chapter Thirteen

A small "no" halted my actions, I quickly pulled away, my heart nearly skipped a beat as Taehyung freed me, and he stepped back. Shit.. I think I screwed up. He averts his gaze awkwardly, I stammer and struggle to form out words except,
"I'm so sorry." I broaden my eyes, "I didn't mean to do that." I grimace.

Taehyung is silent for a couple of seconds before smiling,
"Let's go eat a bit."

"So, what was that?" Taehyung asks me, laying down next to me against the dry towels that were absorbing our soaked clothing. I blink a couple of times awkwardly, coming up with a good excuse won't be so hard.. We are drowning in silence before I decide to speak up,
"I've never kissed anyone." I simply say, sitting up, "And I want to go home..."

"What?? Why do you wanna go?" Taehyung sits up with me, but I'm too embarrassed to even look at him- I can't do it. I fucked everything up, he'll remember this.
"I.. Umm.. This is awkward." I reply, reaching out for my bag, but Taehyung pulls me back swiftly.

"Jiminie, I forgive you. But I'm just not.."
"Not gay? No, I know. I'm not either."

At least that's what I think.

Our eyes connect, and I just want to cry. I didn't mean to do that at all, I don't know what took over me. Why am I even still thinking? I quickly look away, I'm not sure how Taehyung's looking at me right now, I can't see him. But I feel like.. he's disgusted for sure.
"I'm sorry," I mutter.

Taehyung tries to pull me next to him, but I refused. The humiliation I felt was too overwhelming. I can't cry in front of him, though. That'd be the most, ultimate embarrassing thing ever. I quickly embrace him, burying my face into his chest as I clutched on his bare back.
"It's okay." Taehyung sighs, encasing me into his arms as I held in a couple of sobs. "Don't be embarrassed, we're best friends, and I know you... you trust me. There's nothing wrong with that, look at me." He emphasizes ever so considerately, "Look at me."

I manage to look up at him, my eyes slightly teary.
"You know that I snuck out today?" He smiles.

I now felt incredibly embarrassed just as a couple of tears rolled down my cheeks, Tae's thumb wiping them away. I don't get why I was feeling emotional, but I just wanted to come out of my shell for once.
"We're the same." I murmur, barely breathing once Tae leaned down to my face. He instantly connects his lips with mine, holding my face- I could barely move, or do anything, just synchronizing my lips with his.
What am I doing.
What am I doing to him?

I try to bring him closer, but he hesitates for a second, so I let go. Taehyung pressed his forehead against mine before chuckling,
"This never happened." He whispers, I hum in agreement as I shut my eyes.
"I'm sorry." I huff.

"TAEHYUNG!" A man yells, startling both Taehyung and I, our heads turning to Taehyung's parents that were standing in the grass field in bewilderment.
