Chapter 7:: Assurance

Author's POV || 2009. 10. 09 

You sighed and drank a glass of water, focusing back on your artwork. You sighed, closing it. It was 11 pm right now. It was a weekend and you were at home, drawing all day. 
No contact with Taehyung. You felt a little empty today as if the day wasn't moving forward.
Nevertheless, you got up and went outside, hoping to eat something. With the side of your eye, you could see your father reading the newspaper. Noticing you, he spoke, "What are you doing now? It's 11 pm, what were you doing all this while?"
"Drawing." You simply replied, taking your plate of food and sitting down at the dining table, continuing to eat. You saw him opening his mouth with the side of your eye and sighed internally, knowing it was going to start. 
"Could you ever do something better? I'm so bothered by this. If you have the least respect for your father, shouldn't you at least show me the results of this artwork? Will it ever help you in any way?" He mocked, and you quietly ate. Quietly, as always. 
"Honey... let her eat." Your mother said, sighing. Your father snorted and focused on his newspaper as you finished eating, getting up. 

After finishing the dishwashing, you went back to your room. You were still a little hungry, but you didn't have any mood to continue eating after all those mockings. 
Sighing, you lay on the bed, opening the book, 'How to communicate well'. 
You were reading it, trying to store the points inside you. It did have some helpful tricks which helped you to talk a little better in the past week. The change was very minimal, not even visible but you felt like your tries were improving. At least, you were reassured. 

---Taehyung's house 

Taehyung sat down and finished his music notes, smiling. He practised it one last time and checked the time, 11:30 pm. 
"It's really late... gosh, I gotta sleep now," Taehyung spoke, getting up. He looked at the door of his mom's room. She was probably asleep already. He smiled, checked up on her and went back.
"I'll prove it to you... that I can do well." He spoke to himself, feeling confident about the music he was working on for months. 
"Hey, dumbo." He heard his younger brother say and sighed, turning around.
"How come you haven't slept yet?!" He asked. The guy just smirked and said, "I'm Kim Taewoo. The Lord of the worlds. Don't order me to sleep."

"Sure, ThE lOrD oF ThE WOrLdS." Taehyung mocked as the 12-year-old sighed saying, "Hey, don't you have any friends other than Jimin and Jungkook?"
"Why?" Taehyung asked. Taewoo just sighed and said, "I have a play at school. So it's a play with Romeo and Juliet... I need 2 people with me. But, my friends are dumb. I think your friends would work but Jimin and Jungkook... no!" 
"You and your nonsense... wait, Romeo and Juliet?" 
"Yes. So if you have any female friends... please come and help me! I need to rehearse for my school play."

"I'll see.... go and sleep for now." Taehyung spoke, sternly as the boy sighed, walking into his room and saying, "Consider my offer Taehyung!!"
"Respect first!" He spoke and sighed, entering his room.

He sat down and smiled, looking at the small teddy bear on his desk. It was by you. While staring at it, his mind took him to the day when he got it from you. 

---Flashback 

"Hey, am I late?" Taehyung asked as you smiled shaking your head.
"Not really.. I'm early!" You said pointing at the sugary drink in front of you.
"You're starting to order it by yourself now? That's pretty cool! I told you my sugary drink was better than your bitter black coffee." He said, smiling.
"I only tried it once though." You spoke, referring to the black coffee. 

He quickly sat in front of you and said, "So, why did you call me?"
"I don't know. I was bored at home." You said. He chuckled and said, "Good thing you called me, I was bored too! I had nothing to do." He lied, he was, in fact, very busy with his assignments. But he thought of pulling an all-nighter and meeting you for now. 
He opened his mouth to say something but closed his mouth, noticing something on your bag. 
"That's a very cute teddy!" He said, squealing. You looked at the teddy bear in your bag and said, "It's... do you like it?"
"Sort of? Where did you buy this fro-" He was talking but he looked at you, confused. You took off the teddy bear keychain and forwarded it to him saying, "Take it, then."
