Jungkook's POV

"Are y'all coming with me? I am gonna meet Taraa." Tae announced, while everyone was present in the living room.

"Right now?" Jimin asked, glancing at the wall clock.

"Yeah. She must be home by now and if she isn't we can always come back." Tae replied.

The hyungs looked at each other, then everybody got up one by one, ready to go.

"Kook, aren't you coming?" Hobi asked.

"Nah! You guys go. I am having a slight headache, so I will skip it." I answered, making my way towards my room.

They didn't press the matter any further, and left the house.

Its not that I didn't want to go but I was abiding by the resolution that I had made to myself before.

The resolution to distance myself from Taraa.

No matter how hard I tried, I always failed to block the images of Yoongi-hyung and Taraa hugging. It always led to the whole scene replaying in my mind along with Taraa's words that still felt so fresh in my ears.

Hence, I had reached the conclusion that distancing myself from her would be the best decision for now. Later on, when my feelings would subside, we could go back to how we were.

But will they ever subside?

What if my feelings for her never change?

The mere thought scared me.

I threw myself on the bed and started thinking about yesterday. I remember my panic when she wasn't picking any of our calls. Again, if not for my vow to myself, I would have taken out our car and gone straight to her office.

How much I had wanted to hug her when she had arrived home safely. I wanted to hold her in my arms and tell her how important she was to me and maybe scold her a bit for being irresponsible.

But I didn't have that privilege.

Now, it was only her and Yoongi-hyung.

And damn! It hurts.

Taraa's POV

"Taraaaaaaa~" A familiar voice called, while I was waiting for the bus.

"Whaaaat~" I sang back.

"Did you bring that dark green dress of yours? The party is today, y'know." Jinhee reminded me about her family reunion for which she wanted my dress.

"Oh no! Shit! I am so sorry, babe. I totally forgot to bring it with me." I apologised. She shook her head at me. "Come with me to my home and you can take it from there. Okay?" I suggested.
