63. Never ever leave you

1 AM | Micha

"You were perfect."

I bit on my lower lip, looking up at him with sparkly eyes.

"Really?" I asked, feeling a slight blush on my cheekbones.

"You are perfect," Taehyung rectified, looking down at me with his lovey-dovey eyes.

I felt the blush on my cheeks intensify.

We were both slightly inebriated, holding each other's hands, and complimenting each other like a couple who never left their honeymoon phase.

We were so immersed in our little bubble of love, we almost missed the Bangtan's apartment floor.

"Did you like it?" he asked me as if the answer wasn't obvious already.

I caught his neck between my arms and pulled him in for a kiss.

"I loved it..." I said, pecking his soft lips. "I'm so happy I met Seren," I added with an excited smile, thinking of the woman I spoke to during dinner. "She seemed cool, right?"

Taehyung smiled without his teeth, nodding strongly as an answer.

"I'm gonna take a shower," he said in a groggy voice, walking his tipsy self to the bathroom.

I stifled a laugh and went directly to his room.

I slipped out of my dress and took off all my jewelry.

The former-red-bandana - now red-and-gold bracelet - from when we officially got together.

The Gucci earrings from the first time he introduced me to his group of friends.

The blue heart necklace of our 100th day anniversary.

I looked at the small jewelry box Taehyung had placed for me in his room and realized I might need a bigger one if he kept gifting me gold and jewels so often.

I smiled, getting into my pajamas and waiting for Taehyung to come back from the bathroom.

I waited for a long time.

A very long time.

So long, I thought he might have fallen asleep in the shower.

"Tae?" I called behind the bathroom door after knocking softly.

No answer.

"Taehyung?" I called a bit louder, sticking my ear against the door.

I could only hear water running, as well as muffled sounds.

A peak of anxiety rushed through my chest.

I tried the doorknob but it was locked from the inside.

"Tae!" I called again louder, knocking frantically now. "Open the door!"

The next second, the water stopped and the door opened wide.

"I d-didn't want to w-worry you."

Taehyung was standing right behind it, still fully clothed, his cheeks red, his eyes swollen from heavy tears.

I felt my heart drop in my chest.

I heard the entrance door of the apartment unlock and someone getting inside. It was probably Jungkook and Yejin coming back from the party. Or Jimin or Hoseok after their night out.
