"Coming!" Aria shouted, hoping the person that was knocking on her door would hear her, since she was running as fast as a turtle because of her not fully recovered leg. "Tae?" She said once she saw him, surprised and happy.

"Hey." He smiled at her, giving her a small hug that he just felt like doing for missing her. They went to the living room. When he noticed how Aria was walking really slowly, he frowned. "Isn't your leg getting any better?"

"It is." She said as she sat on the couch. "It's normal to take all that time." He nodded, getting more confused when her face turned upset. "Can you bring yourself juice from the fridge, please? I'm done with walking around all the day!"

Taehyung giggled then shook his head. "I don't want any juice. You don't have to walk around all the day, okay?"

"Okay." Aria smiled sheepishly before searching for anything to say. "You know, Jimin lives here now."

Taehyung found himself frowning again, not helping but to feel uneasy in his heart. "Does he?" He asked calmly.

"Yeah." She nodded. "As an apology. Like, he's staying for helping me so I'd forgive him.. Since I already forgave Anna."

"Forgive them for what?" Taehyung asked, now remembering Anna's gloomy face when he firstly went to Aria in the hospital.

"They're together.. I thought you already know." He shook his head slowly. "Well, I didn't know they were, that's why I had this stupid accident." When he nodded in understanding, Aria sighed heavily. "He's changed."

Taehyung slightly raised his eyebrows, not really appreciating her words. "Changed how?"

"I don't know." She shook her head in confusion. "I just feel like he isn't playing with my feelings anymore.. He isn't trying to tempt me anymore." She mumbled the last part.

"And do you find that unpleasant or something?" He asked, holding onto the last piece of patience while speaking. The last side of him he would ever want to show to her was his anger. Even if she already saw it once, it didn't mean he could repeat it again.

"No." Unexpectedly, she was smiling while looking around. "I just.. I just feel more comfortable now. It feels right."

"What feels right?" He asked curiously.

Aria turned her gaze to him, a little startled when she saw how his eyes were so intense and dark in anticipation as if he was waiting to hear her answer. But she wasn't really intimated became this is how he's always been.

"Not being in love with Jimin." She answered slowly, his immediate, wide smile causing her to chuckle yet get confused as well. "You're happy I don't love Jimin this way anymore?"

"Aria.." He breathed out, leaning his face forward towards hers. "I remember I told you that I love you.. And I wasn't kidding. What do you think I'd be feeling now? Sad for Jimin?" He scoffed slightly, shaking his head. "That would be stupid of me."
