Can't Buy My Love | Taehyung x Reader

8 - See Each Other

He sat down and soon we started talking again. It was nice because he also waited patiently when I had to help other customers.

       'You know..... I have been wondering' Taehyung started

         'about?'

        'Why are you working another job during the day?'

Because I need to pay for my father's health care.

But I wasn't planning on telling him that. I didn't really know this guy for that long to begin with, I was surely not going to share that kind of information with him. Yet there was this small part of me that wanted to tell him, and I wasn't even too sure why.

I tried to produce some kind of laugh.

        'Because I like the extra money plus I get to drive these really insane cars.'

        'Alright, and next to working almost full time, is there anything else you do as a hobby?'

I chuckled, because his intonation showed his apparent incomprehension to why I was working two jobs.

       'I paint, whenever I can.'

Taehyung's face lit up

       'Really? What kind of paintings do you make?'

I pointed at a painting that was on the wall, the one my parents had proudly hung there back when I was younger. He turned his head to look at it.

       'What? You made that? it looks really good y/n.'

I was flattered by his compliment and it really made me feel joyful.

       'You're just saying that in the hope I will put these beers on the house again, aren't you?' I joked. He laughed but then turned serious

       'I am not letting you overshadow my compliment with this joke. I am serious, it really looks good.'

My cheeks heated up and I was hoping that in the lightning Taehyung wouldn't be able to properly see my tomato face.

      'uhm thank you.. so what about you?' 

He looked away, slightly shy? It was the first time I had seen him like that.

        'There is something' I concluded from his change in behavior. He nodded and then took a deep breath

       'I write songs.'

It was perhaps the last thing I had expected.

      'Songs?'

       'Yes, like lyrics'

        'Can I read one?' I asked

Taehyung aggressively shook his head

       'No, those songs I will keep very private, they are top secret'

I pouted 'please?'

       'No, I mean it I don't feel confident enough about that.' he then looked at me 'you are the first person I have ever told about them.'

Again that weird feeling in my stomach

        'Thank you for sharing that Taehyung.'

        'Do I now get the beers for free?' Taehyung joked and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Weeks passed and Taehyung had come by the bar multiple times, I felt rather bad because I was always working so he had to make all the effort to come. Another week had started and that meant that tonight I had no bar duty, so today it was only my work at the car dealer.
