11. That's mine

8 days before the Jeju island trip

7 PM | Micha

We just got our bags inside the cozy cabin when I felt my phone vibrating in my back pocket.

I took it out and clicked on the notification.

I read that strange message again.

Why is he asking about Yejin? I wondered, frowning at my phone.

And then I remembered our meeting at the Bangtan's apartment this week.

How they seemed very close to each other. How it looked like JK was waiting for her.

Are they friends now? I wondered with a smile. Or more perhaps...

"Is everything alright?" Taehyung asked with curious eyes.

He must have felt my discomfort because he came closer to me. I did not think it through, and before I could do anything, he was already peeking at my screen.

I felt him stiffened as soon as he read the name on it. He turned around right away and suddenly got really interested in unpacking his bag.

That doesn't look good.

I quickly texted back Jungkook that I didn't have any news from her since the day before. I also sent a quick message to Yejin to know how she was doing.

"It was just Jungkook asking about Yejin..." I explained, sitting on the bed.

"Mhm," Taehyung simply answered, still busy shuffling clothing in his Gucci baggage.

I got on my feet, getting closer to him. Softly, I wrapped my arms around his waist, back-hugging him.

But too fast, he was already slipping away from me, squatting down by the fireplace.

"Are you cold?" he asked, his hands already getting around some logs of wood. "We could start a fire..."

This distance again.

I couldn't bear it anymore.

Mostly after our talk in the car.

As if basic communication tools weren't part of my abilities anymore..., he told me earlier.

I watched him getting the fire started, his strong veiny arms pressing on the bellows.

"There's something..." I cleared my throat, sitting on the edge of the bed. "There's something I'd like to talk to you about."
