Falling In Love With Kim Taehyung

Chapter 5: A Happy Accident

"Feel better, Y/N?" Tae asks you, his lips pulled in a pout. You take note that so far, Yoongi's friends know exactly how to use aegyo to their advantage.

You look at Jimin for reassurance who nods at you. You smile softly, worrying your lip with your teeth.

"I'm better now, yes. Jimin is really nice."

"Isn't he the best?" Tae grins a boxy smile at Jimin who pretends to blush by holding his cheeks.

"Stop you two are gonna make me blush."

Everyone laughs at Jimin's antics and the tension in your shoulders ease a bit.

Namjoon and Jin are seated at the ends of the table, with Jungkook sitting in the middle on one side surrounded by Hobi and Jimin which leaves you sandwiched between Taehyung and Yoongi. Wonderful.

Jin explains the meal properly, which turns out to be something you haven't had since coming to the city, budae jjigae.

"This looks incredible, Jin-ssi!" You compliment the older boy profusely while everyone digs in.
Jin's ears turn deep red, making you smile at him.

"I never get tired of seeing that gummy smile. Now i can see it twice." he smiles back at you before digging into the food himself. "oh! And you can call all of us oppa. I don't think anyone would mind. Except for Kookie."

You take a bite and moan at the taste, making everyone stop their eating to look at you. Your face flushes at the realization at what you did but you push through like a champ. What can you say? The food is amazing.

"This is really good! I haven't had this in a long time." You continue to ignore the sudden stares, going back to eating until everyone else resumes as well.

While you eat, your left arm keeps bumping into Tae's right arm. You smile sheepishly at him and rest your left hand on your lap so it's out of the way.

The conversation stays light, everyone talking as a group about various things. You get so caught up in listening to the stories you didn't notice Tae switch his chopsticks to his left hand, sliding his right hand over yours.

You look at him suddenly but he shakes his head and looks at Yoongi, who is currently talking. You turn your attention back to the conversation but you can't focus. The feeling of Tae's hand over yours is causing a real big distraction.

You remember Jimin's words from earlier and decide to be bold. You turn your hand under his slowly, so you don't bring notice to it and slowly lace your fingers with his. He smiles and contributes to the conversation, squeezing your hand ever so lightly.

"Taehyung knows exactly what he is doing." Jimin's words replay in your head. You don't even realize you are staring absentmindedly at your food when you feel a nudge from beside you.

"y/n?" Yoongi whispers to you, frowning at your flushed face.

You snap out of it and look to see Yoongi looking at you, in fact everyone is.

"Yeah? I'm sorry i was.. there was something on my mind, that's all." you laugh nervously, hoping it comes across as more confident than you feel. Why do you feel like your parents just caught you doing something you shouldn't?

"Oh, Do tell." Jimin smirks over his glass before taking a sip.

You clear your throat and Tae releases your hand, you assume to let you focus; only he instead places his hand on your thigh, squeezing it gently, fingers kneading into the soft flesh of your inner thigh.

"I- I.. I was just thinking of the last time i had this, was all." you smile sheepishly, your face hot as the feelings Taehyung is brewing by his simple touch.

You feel borderline uncomfortable but yet.. not. Like you want him to continue but slow down at the same time.

"I was asking you if you wanted to go home after this or do you want to stay for a bit longer?" Yoongi looks at you again, concern flooding his face.

"I'm okay staying longer! I really like all of your friends. You guys really are friendly and sweet, making me feel so welcome."

"You are welcome anytime and not just when Yoongi is here." Tae smiles at you as he says this, his hand massaging higher up your thigh. You feel slightly dizzy as the want takes over, making your stomach clench.

Taehyung isn't pushing boundaries, simply skirting them by massaging your thigh and not touching anywhere near the inside of your thigh, just on top. You have to admit, the little massage feels really nice plus he has nice hands.

"D-Do all of you live here?" You tear your eyes from Tae's hands and look around expectantly.

"Not in the slightest. Me, Joonie and Tae live here and a couple blocks over the other three room together." Jin replies to you, his face nothing but kind and warm, like an older brother, like Yoongi often looks at you.

You nod but otherwise don't reply, taking another bite of your food and loving how the flavor makes your mouth water despite you already eating it. It's as if you crave more even though there's some still in your mouth.

"So what brings you to Seoul, y/n?" Namjoon asks you, setting his chopsticks down to converse with you. You turn your head in his direction, seeing Yoongi watching your face out of the corner of your eye. He visibly tenses at Namjoon's question.

"I really missed Yoonie.. it may have only been a year or so but he's my best friend. Plus, who couldn't use a fresh start?" You laugh lightly, putting your chopsticks down as well to give your hands something to do besides tremble.

"I hear you! That's why a lot of us moved here." Namjoon replies, nodding to your arms next. "I'm told you want to pursue tattooing?"

"Yes! It's still a little looked down upon but Seoul is certainly more open minded than Daegu." Your voice stays surprisingly steady, despite Tae's fingers dancing along your thigh.

You look at Tae then away, struggling to hold your hand steady.

"You okay, Y/N?" Hobi mumbles to you, seeing your hand shake.

"I-I'm fine just a little dizzy." you whisper back to him. Beside you, Tae snickers.

"Do you want to lay down?" Hobi looks at you with concerned eyes, making your face flush more as you realize you can't tell him why you suddenly don't feel well.

"Tae's room is in the furthest back, you could go lay in there."
