It's not long after that I hear the door open and watch him walk into the bathroom. I can hear the shower water running, and I know he's going to be in there for a little while, so I find myself relaxing.

Despite how much I had to drink, and him, too, I don't want to go to sleep and forget about today just yet. Although what just happened is something I would love to forget, I'm not focusing on it. I'm focusing on the good moments that happened when we first arrived here.

Yes, seeing those two was a huge shock, but Taehyung, despite his emotions, still wanted me to be happy, and I haven't done anything to repay that.

Of course, I spent the day with him, walking around and speaking little Italian thanks to his helpful language skills. I honestly haven't done much for him in return.

I just slapped him moments ago and left him downstairs. There's no telling what'll happen now, especially if there was just one camera outside the hotel that could take that footage and run with it straight to L.A. to stir up some drama.

Maybe it was wrong to slap him, and maybe it was wrong to cut him off so much without letting him explain himself like he wanted to do.

Still, despite all that, he never once started an argument with me when coming back to the room, just made his way into the bathroom.

After being upset earlier and him letting me speak what's on my mind, I wouldn't offer that to him in return, and so he acted, and I got even more upset.

Now, was it right for him to kiss me earlier? No, not without my consent it wasn't, but I was at fault, too. I didn't listen to him, and whatever point he was trying to make, he thought actions would be better than words since I wasn't listening in the first place.

Sitting up from the bed, I know I've made a mistake, and that this conflict right now is half of my fault as well.

Standing from the bed, I walk to the bathroom, lightly letting my fingertips touch the golden doorknob before gently pushing it open.

After stepping inside, steam hits my face and has already covered the mirrors and the glass shower that he's inside.

Shutting the door behind me, he says nothing, so I assume he's ignoring me.

I brace myself for what I'm about to do, but even though I'm not ready to give my heart to anyone, the least I can do is listen.

Bringing my fingertips to my chest, I begin unbuttoning my pajama shirt and then slide down the matching pants. I keep my bra and underwear on, however.

I can feel my heart pick up when I step towards the shower door, unknowing what's about to happen.

"Taehyung?" I call out from the other side with my hand holding onto the shower door, waiting for his response. I can't even see him through the blurred doors.

"What? Are you here to slap me again?" I deserved that.

Gently, I sigh while shaking my head, even though he can't see me. "No, I'm here to apologize. You've done so much for me today, and I couldn't even repay that by just listening to you. I shut you out, and for that, I'm sorry," I begin, gently opening the shower door and stepping inside.
