Jennie's pov

"wait..are you crying ?" taehyung asked me again his eyes not leaving mine.

taehyungs hurt eyes made my heart stirr but no..yoongi might hunt down taehyung too. I turned my head away, holding my lips tight.

"not..your buisness" I said being as harsh as possible. i couldn't risk taehyung too , his the only person who treated me like a friend.

I have been hurt by others words numerous times but I have never spoke coldly to anyone.. my heart pounded and a strange uncomfortable feeling grew inside me.

I anxiously glanced at taehyung and he still had his smily face smiling at me. "..you" he said "it sucks that we need to go back to class isn't it ?.." he continued. I looked at him plainly, why was he still talking to me.

"you wanna go out with me?"

taehyung asked , his boxy smile spread wide on his face "what?" I asked confused , at my sharp remark he once again smiled brightly. he held my hand and helped me up.

again, my heart started to beat fast. it was different from when I was with yoongi , the fluttering of my heart dint bother me. "come with me" he said as he intertwined his slender fingers on mine. I kept looking at our hands.

"you have to eat well when you feel low..." taehyung said , his cheesy remarks were cute and funny. "there's no one in the gates. let's go please" taehyung said, he demands almost leaving a small whine and I couldn't help but agree.

he took me before I could answer. but I dint mind..i wanted to be with him. I was so assured that I completely forgot about yoongi s warnings.

@snack bar

the tiny clinging bells of the snack bar rang as me and taehyung entered. the place was small yet cute and tidy. I've never been here , not that I had anyone to come here with me.

taehyung and I quickly took a seat in the further corner. he ordered a lot of Korean food. "don't you ...think it's too much ?" I asked unsure looking at the table full of cuisines.

"I told you.."

"you have to eat well when you feel low.." taehyung said , smiling at me his boxy smile.

"..." the table was filled with dishes. hot steamy tteok-bokki (Korean spicy rice cake) , sundae (Korean sausage), fish cakes and fries. almost three meals were served on the table.

"go ahead" taehyung said as he himself took a bite."I brought you here so it's on me" he said.

"you can buy me next time" he said passing me his silly smile.

"..Ok" I said , I never knew I could feel so happy from hearing the word 'next time'. I allways heard that from my classmates in middle of bullying. it was the first time to hear it like that.

silly me , my eyes got filled with tears.
"you're not crying because it's spicy right ?" taehyung asked worridly. he gently wiped the tears from my face with a napkin. my heart felt like it could pop up any moment.

it was my first time eating together with someone , relaxing together with someone. everything was new to me.

"no." I mumbled shooking my head and smiling at taehyung. he passed me a brighter smile back. "great!" he said. "I thought you were crying because the food was bad..."

taehyung said but paused for a second , his expression changing into a worried and sad one "can I ask why..." he paused again "but I can't. I don't want to see you crying again" taehyung said.

"please tell me when you feel like.. " taehyung said smiling softly.

"taehyung.." I tried to say but he cut me off with his amused face "wow, you called my name for the first time" he grumbled , but the hand that was ruffling my hair was so gentle. it was so warm. it made me smile before knowing.

perhaps.. I could be happy next to him.

a small seed of hope began to grow.

"hey.." taehyung called out.

"yes" I replied. "let's skip school today." taehyung said , a mischievous smile on his face which made him look cute in a weired way.

"what!?" I was taken aback. I had never skiped school before.

"why asking so suddenly ?" I asked trying to play cool , I dint wanted him to know that I never skiped school. that would be embarrassing.

"what do you think?" he asked.

"it is sudden but...I don't want to go back.. I like seeing you smile" he said as he placed his hands on his chin looking at me dreamily. I choked on my food.

"..."

it was not a bad suggestion. I would be crying again if I went back to classroom. however , I dint knew why but yoongi's cold eyes kept occurring in my mind forbidding me from calling names of other people.

"hmm?" taehyung asked. "how's that let's go somewhere else for refreshments" he said. I dint wanted to refuse to spend some time with taehyung.

just some time will be fine, yoongi wouldn't know.

"allright.."

smiling I noded to taehyung. he smiled a wide boxy smile back to me.

after eating the dishes , we slowly walked out of the snack bar outside the emty street. there wasn't much traffic, I noticed it was allready quite dark and schools might have long ended.

@street

"do you wanna take the downtown way or the ally way ?"

taehyung asked.
