She Ruined Me || Taehyung FF (On Hold)

19 ||

“Forever requires daily efforts.”

❣

Solace.

It's an indescribable emotion.

The moment their eyes met.

That's it.

Boom!

Lily falls out of the ambulance, right in his arms. Taehyung was carving for her lavender scent and her caramel meshed with luminaries eyes. The terror on her face was evident as she gapes at his face.

Didn't she know I was here?

"There is a patient with me," and those were the only words she says. Wordlessly Taehyung lifts her with ease and settled her down.

"I will drive the ambulance. Get in," He tugs the gun away. Lily nods and again climbs inside the compartment of the ambulance.

"Jimin! Jungkook! I am leaving first, make sure another ambulance reaches safely," He hollers and clambers in the driver seat.

"His vitals are dropping! We need to hurry up!!" Lily breathes out heavily as soon as the ambulance began to move.

"Just five minutes," Taehyung began to steer down the street. The ride was tense, filled with the wails of man and Bellona's soothing words. When they arrive at the hospital, along with the other nurses, Lily scurries the patient inside. She didn't even glance at him but he understood why though. Her responsibility is more important. 

The man with the ocean eyes loiters in front of the O. R so that he could take her back safely with him. The local gangs in the area dared to intervene in the ambulance and even try to hurt the doctors. He needs to make sure the medical team is safe, especially her. Even their superiors commanded them to safeguard their people at any cost.

After a long time, Lily steps out with a wide smile and he knew they saved the patient. Catching his eye, she gives him thumbs up. Taehyung holds in the urge to squish her in a tight hug. Goddamn, it hasn't even been a day she was in front of him and he was already having the effects of Song Lily. His heart was beating faster than before, lips were aching as he couldn't stop smiling. Every time he looks at her, she steals his breath away.

"The medical camp has been established with all the equipment so you can treat the patients on the spot. Right now there are none," Taehyung shuffles beside her as she scrubs her hand. 

"I have another surgery to operate on."

"Oh, I have to get back for some work. I will come to pick you up later. Give me your phone."

Lily peeps at her soapy hands then at the pockets of her trousers. Taehyung pared the distance between them, close enough that their bodies were almost brushing. In the immensely cold weather, he suddenly felt the hypnotizing warmth of her body.

Looking straight into her full eyes, he slips his hand in her pocket and slowly retrieves her phone out. Lily was still as gravel, her plump lips parts in surprise at their proximity. Taehyung suppresses his smile and adds his number in, setting it to a speed dial, on number one. He slides the phone back into her pocket, "Call me if there is a problem. See you later, Chubs."

"B-be safe," that's all she could come up with.

❣

"Thanks for your cooperation," Lily bows politely at the nurses from North Korea who assisted her in surgeries.

"Our pleasure. Thanks for working with us. You should get back to your cabins soon, it's almost night."

Lily smiles at them and shortly changes into her clothes. She stretches her arms above her head, feeling the ache all over her body. Especially lower back and hands. She was in two consecutive surgeries for over five hours. Exhausting and tiring but a relief tingles up to her spine. The relief that she saved people.

Her best friend informed her that she is leaving with Jimin, which doesn't surprise Lily. Ara is a straightforward woman who speaks her mind, and like Lily, she doesn't get a thrill in playing hard to get.

Lily's finger hovers over his number, she was debating whether to call or not. Seeing him after a long time, inflicted a varied rush of emotions inside her.

She couldn't decipher them.

She concludes not to call him and catch a  cab on her own. Walking out of the hospital, she consents her hair loose to relish the hustling breeze. The city seemed to be wrapped up by their sweet slumber in the icy night. The frosty waves fondle her face.

Lily heaves her hands out of her woolen coat and extends her hand to hail a cab. But in the blink of an eye, Taehyung steps in her extended arm. Her arm which was to thwart the taxi was now draped around his shoulder.

How?

"Which part of I will come and pick you, Your brain cells couldn't absorb?" his ethereal sensuous voice tenses her muscles and she acknowledged how much she missed his voice. Lily deliberately drops her hand from around his robust shoulder.

"I thought you might be busy," she licks her chapped lips, avoiding looking at him. 

"Well I am, so be flattered that I came to pick you up, let's go," Taehyung gestures to the Jeepster, and sudden excitement thrills in her veins. She has seen those types of vehicles in action movies, it was her first time watching the army vehicle in close profile. Bellona excitedly ascends in and he began to steer.

The sky was striking with brilliant white ash fogs. The chubby girl silently pleads the nature to show mercy on humans. Nearly fourteen people died today.

She peeks at the man beside her, dressed in camouflage. His messy hair was moist and his neck was glistening with the dampness. The moon hanging in the black ocean poured her radiance on his face, making him look surreal. His uniform seemed arid and occupied by bloodstains which made her heart pound in an instance.

She was in a dilemma about what to say. She wanted to talk to him, but where should she start?

Hello? Hii? Hey, man? Seriously, hey man?!

"How are you, Lily?" he breaks the silence first, pulling the girl out of her misery.

Aghast that he suddenly spoke, Lily stares at him with a white canvas look. He glances at her sideways and chuckles deeply. 

She missed his smile.

"I am speaking Korean, gorgeous."

Right.

Say something bitch.

"I-I am good. What about you?"

"I am great, right now," he smiles, "Do you have to get back at the cabin right now?"

I shake her head and asks, "Did you eat?"

"No, I am taking you somewhere," he caresses his nose with his knuckles.

"Where?"

"You will see, senorita," he winks and shifts the gear, hustling the car on the moonlit street.
