Hold Me Tight (Completed) ✔️

Chapter 33

Taehyung's pov

I was sitting on the couch while my brother went to take a shower. I was lazily switching channels in the TV when Eliza came in.

"Hey, Taehyung." She waved smiling at me as she plopped on the couch beside me.

"Hey, Eliza. Exhausted?" I asked seeing her tired face but still pretty.

"Very much. When did you come?"

"Just about thirty minutes back. So how was class?"

"Boring as usual. The new professor is Seokjin's friend and he is pretty good. But the other guy is very boring."

"How was Jin hyung's teaching?"

"He was awesome. I wonder why couldn't all teachers teach like your Seokjin." She replied pouting.

"Is he that good?" I chuckled seeing her starry eyes.

"No kidding, he is the best. Half of the students is attending because of his teaching and while the other half is to gaze at his handsome face. Anyways both works pretty well." She giggled.

"And which is the reason why you are attending?" I enquired curiously.

"I-I to study, obviously." She stuttered nervously my question catching her off guard.

Does she like my brother more than I think she does? Her face is saying she likes him. I knew it was not my place to ask, but I could not control myself from asking it.

"Eliza, d-do you like my brother?"

"I-I"

"Liz, you are back." Hyung was leaning on the wall with his hands crossed, his hair damp after the shower. I don't know how much he heard from our conversation. But when I looked at Eliza her face was cherry red and it answered my question.

I should have been actually happy for the both of them, but why does my heart sting when I thought of the possibility of them being together.

That night I talked to her, she managed to shake my heart and make it beat faster. But I guess I was the only one who felt that. She was not even slightly affected like I was when she talked to me right now. Whereas the moment she sat beside me, mine was pounding like crazy. Maybe she is different than I thought. Or maybe I am interpreting my feelings wrongly.

"Hey Seokjin, when did you come here?" I could say she was nervous, if he heard anything. I guess he didn't.

"Just now. What were you talking?"

"Nothing just the boring classes."

"Aww, you must have missed me." He said resting his face on his palm as leaned on the back of the chair.

"Pfft, as if I would." She brushed it away like she didn't care.

"I know you miss me." He said winking at her as he left to the kitchen. Her cheeks were heated as blood rushed through to the surface.

"I should go help him in the kitchen." She composed before leaving to the kitchen to Jin hyung.

Seokjin's pov

I was going to make some popcorn for our movie night. Eliza and I used to do it often and now we haven't had the time for it in a while. Now we have Taehyung too so I just wanted all of us to spend some quality time together.

"What are you doing?" Eliza came to the kitchen.

"Popcorn, cheese or caramel? Wait don't answer I know, cheese."

"You know me well." She winked at me as she turned to the refridgerator to grab some juice. That was a good thing or else she would have noticed my red ears and cheeks. She have no clue how flustered she can make me.

I don't know when it started affecting me, but I am happy. The way she twirls her long hair with her fingers, how she scrunches her nose when she is happy, smelling every food before taking a bite and that god damned dimpled smile could grand me one hundred years more. Everything about her was ethereal. I know she is more than a house mate to me now. I am not sure about my feelings but I know I care about her.

She got a phone call and I assumed it must be Emily, because that is the only one whom she can call 'my womb mate'.

"It was Emma."

"Everything alright there?" I asked thinking of her mentioning about the break in at her appartment.

"Yeah everything is fine. Nothing stolen or anything."

"Good. Is she coming now that everything's alright?"

"She said she will come tomorrow since it's pretty late now.

"Yes tell her to come early. Taehyung is here too, we can have siblings time." She nodded smiling at the idea of all four of us together.

We three watched about two movies non stop before we hit the bed.

"Hyung, can I sleep in your room?" Taehyung pouted as I was about to switch off the light on my bed side lamp.

"Sure." I said patting at the spot beside me. He sure know his pout is my weakness.

"Hyung, can I ask you something?" He asked as I switched off the light, making the room pitch black.

"Go ahead." I nodded, although he could not see me.

"Do you like it here?"

"Yes, I am happy here. All these people are really friendly and caring. I couldn't be happier."

"Do you miss home?"

"I miss Namjoon, most of all. Mom and dad were always busy back then too. So I don't see much difference now. I am glad I have you by my side."

"Me too hyung. I missed you a lot. And now I miss Namjoon hyung. Wish he could be here too."

"Same. Do you like it here?" I asked him this time.

"I guess so. I didn't make any friends there in my campus. But I guess Eliza is a good person."

"Yes she is. You can trust her. She really helped me get settled in here. I would have been devastated if I didn't have her, you know?" I paused to know if he was listening, I felt his head nodding, indicating to continue.

"We really struggled at first because of this whole teacher student same house stay thing secrecy. But she respected my decisions. She never ditched me to her friends. She stayed by my side and never pushed me to tell her friends the truth. I really trust her." I have never openly told someone about Eliza. I am glad I could freely talk about it to my brother, someone who won't judge me, or chastise me for getting attached to a student of mine.

"Hyung, do you like her?" His random question threw me off guard. It might be a simple question for him but for me it meant a lot. It wasn't a simple yes or no answer. It was much more than that. I didn't know what to say or how to say, or what I really felt. So I just hummed nonchalantly.

He didn't reply anything either or pushed me to answer it clearly. I felt him shift towards the other side, his back facing mine.

Like that we both slept with lots of thoughts traveling in my mind.
