“She wasn't a moment, but his forever.”

She changed her perfume. It's peach. The scent of fresh peaches merged with antiseptics, cuddled the aura in his car. He peeks at her only to see her engrossed in reading something on the phone. Her long chocolate curls were loosely intertwined leaving few strands to trifle with her chubby cheeks. Her beauty seemed so enticing to him that Taehyung couldn't look away.

"We both will get killed if you stare more," she says without darting her eyes off of her phone.

"Are you fine?" He asks. He did though, that she might be in the breakup mode that includes the package of sucking up in a room with ice cream, tears, and tv shows.

But she was whisking around in the hospital, saving lives as if yesterday her boyfriend didn't cheat on her.

"What is there to not be fine? People like us, have better things to do than crying," she replies.

He shifts his gaze to the street, "Lily, truth or dare?" He feels her eyes watching him strangely but she replies, "Truth"

Taehyung doesn't miss a beat and shoots the question, "Did you love Byungwoo Hyung?"

There was a hush for a second or two. Taehyung bit his upper lip, silently cursing himself for asking it so abruptly. But he needed to know. He knew she didn't love him, her eyes tell the story her lips could never. He just wanted to confirm if he read her accurately or all was just in his head.

"No," she says, after what seems like hours

The relief washes every cell of his body, his eyes flicker to her then back to the street. He halts the car at the corner. Her query eyes watch him as he unfastens his seat belt.

He slowly leans over her, making her enthralled eyes enhanced but it doesn't deter his slow glide like water.

"Ocean Eyes," she murmurs sticking to the window, keeping her hand on his chest. He stops when their faces were inches away, he could feel the heat illuminating from her body.

It was too tempting. Everything about her was. He can just look at her the whole day and not get tired. He wonders if her heart is pounding just like his.

"It's Taehyung. Kim Taehyung," he drops his voice, letting it embrace the husky excellence. Fastening the seat belt around her, he lingers close.

His blue eyes hew on her plump lips then back to the warm pools of honey that flushed his face. But what almost burst his heart was a tiny mole on her upper lip. She was scrutinizing his lips, making his heart leap but Taehyung pulls back.

He didn't want to treat her like a one-time thing.

Lily composed herself and licks her chapped lips before sowing her face in the phone. Without an utterance, Taehyung commenced steering unaware of the destruction he caused to her.

Her heart hammered in her ears running to reach its destination. Destination nor does she know nor did her heart know. She endeavors hard so he won't catch sight of her trembling hands. Stunned that she fingers never shake during the hardest of hardest surgery, but they trembled just by his closeness, just by looking in in orifices of the cool ocean. He was so close and she didn't even push him away.

He is just pitying me.

She heaves a sigh and stares at the invitation to the reunion of her school, thinking how in the world now she is gonna show up without Byungwoo.

Her posts on social media were jammed with their pictures. Her school friends even declared that they were anticipating her with her boyfriend on who dumped her and on who she dumped her heels. Not showing up is an option, but Lily was never a coward.
