3: Move on

"You took your forms?" Taehyung asked Yena who was sitting on the passenger's seat. "Yes, I did. But why are you forcing me to make a passport suddenly?"

"You're becoming 20 and yet you don't have a passport. I'm just helping you." Taehyung said while driving his car. "But why do we need to go to the university?"

"I need the recommendation from the principal to approve your identity." He said while focusing on the road. She looked outside the window and saw an old age couple walking on the road.

Her lips curved up while looking at them and she turned to look at Taehyung. He turned to stare back at her and smiled before focusing back on the road. "How long have we known each other Taehyung?"

"4 months, 10 days, 2 hours, and 32 minutes?" Taehyung says while looking at the time on his smartwatch. "Damn! You didn't need to be so precise." She said while blinking.

"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Taehyung asked Yena. She sighed and shook her head. "It's just that I didn't have friends or the energy to make friends when I shifted to my mom's. You were the one who approached me and helped me to transfer to your university at the end of the final year. Thank you for being my friend."

"You're welcome, honey. But why are you suddenly saying these things?" Taehyung asked and she shook her head. "I don't know if I'll ever have friends except you." She expressed her concern.

"You don't need any more friends when you have me. You don't need anyone in your life." Taehyung said and she turned to give him a poker face before saying. "I do. I have my mother. I need her. She is the only one in my life after Dad passed away."

"Let's not bring back memories. I know you miss your dad." He said and she looked outside the window.

"I was raised by him, Taetae. When mom left us in Daegu to come here to Seoul, he was the one who raised me." She said lowly.

Taehyung turned to look at her before placing his hand over hers on her thigh. She looked at him when he noticed the tears brimming in her eyes.

His breath hitched when he saw the tears. A deep pain was engulfing the pit of his stomach. He parked the car at the side of the road and unbuckled his seat belt to face her.

He placed his left hand over hers and the right hand cupping her jaws. "Honey, I know it's difficult to settle in with your mom suddenly when you grew up with your dad. I suggested you move in with me but you-"

"I barely know you, Taehyung. It's just been a few months. I cannot just move in with you. We are not even a couple." She pointed out the obvious.

Taehyung released her face and gripped the headrest behind her tightly before looking away from her. "I had confessed to you that I liked you on the first day we met. You were the one who wanted us to be best friends." He said while clenching his jaws.

"I didn't know you. How would I accept it?" She reasoned and he instantly shot his head at her. "You got to know Minho for a few weeks and caught feelings. I definitely know you more than him!" He barked while she flinched.

Taehyung's eyes widened and he calmed down. "I am sorry. I shouldn't have yelled. Forgive me." He apologized. She looked away from him and shook her head while wiping her tears. "It's not your fault, Taetae. I'm the one confused about my feelings here. Let's go."

"I'll come back after a while and meet you here. I have things to do." Taehyung said while releasing Yena from the hug. She smiled slightly and nodded before getting out of the car.

She slowly walked towards the campus and then approached the principal's office. She spotted the vice principal outside so she quickly went to him.

"I am here to take the visa recommendation. Kim Taehyung might have-"
"Miss. Yena?" He interrupted her and she nodded.

"Taehyung mentioned to us. Did you bring the forms?" He asked and she immediately handed him the forms. "Wait for some time here. I'll guide you through the process. You can come back after a while." He said and she nodded.

She turned to walk away from there towards the cafeteria when she saw the same girl who proposed to Taehyung the day before. She smiled at her so she returned the expression.

"Hello, Sunbae" She greeted and bowed at Yena. "Hi. Are you going to your classes?" Yena asked her but she shook her head. "I'm going to the cafeteria like you. Can I come with you?"

Yena nodded and both of them walked forward. "Have you heard the news, Sunbae?" The girl asked her and Yena raised her eyebrows. "About what?"

"Minho Sunbae from your department died last night."
