as taehyung took you inside, he grabbed a bottle of wine along with a single wine glass. his grip on your hand tightened as you two walked up the spiral stairs up to your room. "i'm not gonna try anything, i swear." he said to you as he closed the door behind him.

"maybe i just want to.. explain? fuck, i dont even know." taehyung took the pre-opened wine bottle and poured the plum colored liquid into the glass. he swirled it before walking to your window, watching as yoongi, jin, and hoseok got into their car, driving to wherever their destination may be. he drank a good portion of the cup before starting, "i know you're scared of us. i would be too, and i think you deserve to know a little about what's going on? i guess.. something like that." he said as he looked down.

you felt relief as you realized he wasn't going to kill you, and that he was showing acts of kindness. you hesitated before speaking but mustered up the courage to ask, "i-is namjoon really a bad person?"

taehyung drank some more from the cup before slowly turning to look at you with a dumbfounded face. "you stay at my house for at least 3 weeks, and you still don't know my answer?" you looked away in embarrassment and realized, as much as you wanted to believe namjoon wasn't someone even this boy who was caring deep down could hate, that caring boy had his opinion set in stone.

"namjoon used to date my sister." taehyung said under his breath before looking down. "he was maybe 16 or 15, she was a year younger than him and-"

"when he was 15?" you abruptly stopped taehyung. you felt your heart sinking, how could he move on so fast? he left to live with his aunt suddenly right after his 15th birthday. with those 724 days in between, he somehow found these boys and moved on from you. you couldn't bare the thought. you remembered the night at the beach, and how namjoon claimed he loved you. but someone that loved you can't abruptly stop loving you in such short time period, right? ever since you were kids, he was there for you, but when he leaves he treats you as nothing, not caring to reach out or even visiting.

taehyung took another sip from the glass before saying, "y/n, is all it takes for you to believe he's a bad person is the fact that he moved on from you? god y/n, i didn't even fucking finish and-"

"you don't know how i felt about him." you said with a shaky voice. you stood up to go to the bathroom connected to your bedroom, but taehyung interrupted you.

"not everything is about you! don't you want to know why you're here? so what he moved on, it was bound to fucking happen!"

you turned around to the boy, "you don't get to fucking tell me how i'm supposed to feel!"

"can you just shut the fuck up and let me finish?"

"no! i don't understand why you can't stop being a baby about this!" you yelled back at him. you did want to know everything that happened, why you were here, why they hated namjoon.. but you wanted time to process the fact you still loved him for those 724 days. you waited for him for 724 days, just to find out he forgot about you.

but with your emotions taking over, you couldn't understand why taehyung tried making this about himself, why he wouldn't listen to you. you didn't know about the story he wanted to tell.

"god, shut the fuck up." taehyung says as he walks towards you.

he was an inch away from your face, and as much as you were worried you could die, you were confident enough to reply to him, "don't tell me what the fuck to do." while he was in such a close proximity to your face, you couldn't help but notice how attractive taehyung actually was.

yes, you were just arguing with him because you found out your first love dated his sister, but there was an odd feeling in the room. the tension was building and you couldn't help but notice his dark eyebrows complimenting his bright hair, and his lips being such a vibrant red.

you realized what you two were arguing about. namjoon obviously didn't care enough to save you from this place when you two were fingertips away, why would he care when you were miles away from him, not knowing if you two would even see each other for however long? not only that, it sounded like this story was close to taehyung's heart, yes you have a right to be sad but so does taehyung.

you made eye contact with taehyung and softened your expression. you looked down. "i'm sorry."

there was silence for a couple seconds before taehyung replied, "can i kiss you?" you became flustered and he happened to notice that. "sorry, you looked like you wanted one." he giggled.

your cheeks became a tinted pink and you broke eye contact with him, "what made it obvious?" you jestered.

"huh, i don't know, you stared directly into my eyes for some seconds then stared at my lips for more seconds." the light tinted pink on your cheeks became a brighter red, you didn't know so much time had passed as you looked at taehyung's features.

you moved your face closer to his, enough for taehyung to put his lips on yours. his lips were soft, and he tasted like the wine he sipped earlier. you felt like you could stay kissing him for days.

jungkook and jimin quietly opened the door, not all the way but enough to see the two, "oh my god we thought she died." jimin said with his head peaking through the crack in the door, jungkook's head peering over his. you and taehyung jumped, startled by the sudden noise that was jimin's voice. "sorry, we heard yelling and we thought taehyung actually did it, but alas, he's kissing the woman that reminds him of his dead sister."

dead?

you looked at taehyung, who looked at you then looked at jimin, who was looking at taehyung. your eyes shifted to jungkook, who was bouncing from looking at you to taehyung.

"i heard you were telling the story and even ended up arguing about it so i thought-"

"it's fine, jimin." taehyung said with his hand on his forehead. "can you two just leave us alone, please? also for the record, i'm not kissing her because she reminds me of taeyeon, okay." you looked at taehyung to see his face of disgust.

jimin walked away without hesitation, but jungkook glared at taehyung before leaving. making eye contact with taehyung, then you, for a second time. "the door stays open." he says firmly.

"hey loser, check this shit out." taehyung walks over to the door, and slams it in jungkook's face, locking it. "asshole."

you watched as taehyung walked over to the bed and laid down on his back, arms behind his head. you didn't know where to position yourself, so you walked over to the other side of the bed and sat down.

"so.. she's dead?"
