First Love || WheeTae

4

It's already night time and all i can do is stare at the night sky. Jiyong is already asleep as well as Wheein. I get out from the house and sit on the wooden chair outside. The cool night breeze make my hair stroke back and after that, all i can do is sigh.

"How can i go back? Or can i go back?"

I ask myself some questions like that while still staring above. I swing my legs back and forth as i hear some insects buzzing.

"Hmm, do you want to come back?"

I almost jump up from the chair when Wheein suddenly talk behind me. I hold my chest while still looking at her.

"Don't you dare to scare me like that again! Jesus christ..."

She just sat beside me and we both look at the dark night sky.

"Of course, i want to. I want to know what kind of life am i living before.."

I can see on my peripheral vision that she's slightly smiling. Why is that?

"Then let's start tomorrow."

She said calmly and i can't help but to look at her. Start what?

"Huh? What do you mean-"

"I'll help you to gain some money so that we can buy your ticket."

My eyes grow wider and so my smile. I unconciously hug her and for the first time since i woke up, i feel the warmth i'm craving for.

"Thank you so much, Wheein.."

I hug her tighter and my smile just grow bigger. She's so small that it looks like i'm hugging a pillow.

"I know, i know. But can you please let go? I can't breath.."

I immediately let go of her and give her my smile. She pats my head and stand up.

"So now, let's sleep so we will have some energy for tomorrow shall we?"

All i can answer are my continuous nods. She also smile at me and enter the house, but here i am, still struck by the fact that i will have the chance to go back from my old life!

"Can you please stop complaining Taehyung? I thought you want to go back? Then let's grind more!"

It's been a week since that night and after that, we've been here on their backyard, planting and harvesting some goods so we can sell it to the market.

"Fine, fine! But let me get some water for us."

I bring down the shovel and enter the house where i saw Jiyong preparing some foods.

"Can you give me some water, Jiyong?"

I ask him and he immediately give me a pitcher of water and a cup.

"Sure thing, hyung. By the way, lunch time is near so better get here at time, okay?"

He said and i just salute at him. He laughs cutely so i can't help but to mess his hair up.

"Yes, sir!"

I bring the water to the backyard and bring some to Wheein who is putting the fruits on the basket.

"Wheein-ah! Drink some water, hydrate yourself."

She approach me and i can see the sweat dripping down from her forehead. I get the towel that was hanging on my shoulder and look at her.

The time she already come to me, i gently pat the towel on her face. For the matter of days i've been here, i can say that Wheein and i become a very close friends.

"You're working so much. Let me do the work, besides it's for my ticket-"

"Don't worry about me. I'm the one who offered it so no problem Tae, i got your back always."

I keep patting the towel on her face and she just drink the water. I also give her the towel so she can wipe the sweats on her neck.

"Jiyong said that we should get back at the lunch time. So let's just rest here for a while and go back there."

She just nods and sit beside me. I pour some water on my cup and drink it again. Argh! Why is it so hot nowadays..

"Since we already harvested the vegetables and fruits, we're going to deliver it on the market tomorrow. So better wake up early tomorrow since the market is not that near from here."

She informed me and all i can do is nod. I can do this, we can do this. 

"Yes, ma'am!"

We both laugh at each other and i'm the first one to stand up. I offer my hand to her and she gladly accept it.

"I'm already hungry, let's eat shall we?"
