Taehyung's Envy Of A Baby

「 🐻 」

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗔𝗠 𝗜 𝗦𝗢...
jealous of a baby? What did that baby do to get blessed with the touch and kisses from Lisa and how come I'm not getting what that baby is getting?

It's not making sense to me. I'm her closest friend yet the only thing she's ever given me is her smile—which I love but of course ultimately want something more than that. I glared at the baby laid on her bed as she laid on her stomach beside the tiny human.

She looks my way. "What's wrong Taehyung? If you want a turn with my baby cousin, you didn't have to ask." Ironic. Only if she knew I wanted a turn with her and not the baby. But what could I say? I couldn't just say hey I'm jealous of a baby because I've liked you for the longest and yet I've gotten less intimate interactions between us than you and a baby. So instead I laid beside them and played with the tiny creature.

I've always considered myself to be a children lover myself so I'm not saying that the newborn wasn't cute, it's just that I find Lisa's cuteness overpower one of a baby's cuteness.

"Tae, you're really good with children." She says while smiling. She watched me play with the baby and make it comfortable, I felt a little proudness to know she'd think I'd be a good father at least.

Suddenly a thought popped into my head and I looked into her eyes. "But don't you think I'll be better off with you instead?" I ask, trying my best to hint my feelings towards her without actually throwing myself at her.

Lisa took the baby out of my lap and sat it on her own as she laid against the headboard of her bed. She then showed a look of confusion and looked at me. "Better off with me?" She asked, not really sure what I was getting at. "I don't understand, you already seem so confident with what you're doing. I doubt you need any of my help with the baby."

I couldn't help but to laugh a little at her obliviousness.

"Watch how she smiles when she's in your arms." Lisa said, passing the baby over to me again. She wasn't wrong, as soon as I'd touch the baby it became happier. Even at the pure sight of me did it start smiling widely. "Doesn't she look so happy, she's so cute." I watched as how Lisa smiled looking at the baby in my arms. This is stupid, the baby is smiling at me smiling at Lisa smiling at the baby.

"You look really pretty today Lisa." She looked at me quite startled when I said that, and frankly I was too. It just rolled out my tongue without me even knowing I was going to say those words. As soon as I had examined her that was the first thing that came to mind, just how pretty she looked in front of me.

"T-Thank you." Lisa looks down a little before trying to play with the baby again.

I realized this was my chance, the door to confession was cracked, I just needed to break it down, then I could finally confess the things that I feel about her. "Actually you look more than just pretty, you look gorgeous." A part of the door came crashing down.

She covered her smile and laugh with her hands and shakes her head. "What's wrong with you, Taehyung? You never say stuff like this." Lisa mumbles under her smile. She was right when she said that, I really do never say things like that, and that only makes me a fool for just starting to do that.

To be honest, I almost forgot the baby was here until I felt their hands reach for my face. I tried smiling through it, but one eye of mine was closed while half of my lip was covered from their tiny hands. Still, I continued to look at Lisa despite the distractions.

My eyes couldn't stop itself from wandering off track, it went from her round pupils to her soft-looking lips.

"Lisa, I know I'm just a friend and you don't have to tell me if you wish but are you still going out with anyone?" Her eyebrows raised as she played with the baby's tiny fingers when I said that. There was a little awkward silence in the air before she speaks.

"So... you're asking if I still have a boyfriend?" She asked. I nodded and swallowed hard. "No."

I wasn't quite expecting that, I don't what I was expecting but definitely not that answer. "Wait, what happened to your boyfriend?" She never told me anything about them ending something, I can't tell if I like that fact or not.

"He broke up with me, I guess he didn't want me anymore because he left like our relationship was nothing." She said lowly, her eyes beginning to glisten with tears.

I scrunched my eyebrows and placed my hand on top of hers intertwined with the toddler. "You didn't deserve that. That guy is a total asshole." I scoffed, rubbing the palm of her hand grasped in mine.

"Tae, stop, that's not nice." She scolds me, she looked really upset that I'd said that.

"You're right, and I'm sorry. Just remember I'm here for you." I nodded my head and looked straight into her orbs. When the both of our orbs stay connected it was like I couldn't look away. Something was so much more different with this eye contact, like a string of emotion attached from my eyes all the way to her eyes.

She however broke the eu contact to look down before looking back up and glancing to me. "Taehyung..." Was all she said, her voice trembling as her face neared closer. I found myself surprised as I noticing her face coming towards my own. Her eyelids relax and close just at the same time as our lips touch each others.

The kiss we shared was sweet, it was flavorful, but yet somehow still cliché. I'd noticed a tear fall from her eye and down the side of her face midway through our kiss, I'd only hoped it wasn't a regretful tear.

When we backed away from each other's lips I was quite out of breath and so was Lisa. I laid her baby cousin between us as it was fast asleep as I take notice of a tingling sensation fading away from on my lips. It was addicting to feel and I wanted more of it, I wanted to kiss her yet again.

But what she then tells me leaves me breathless. "Taehyung, I'm sorry, I still like him." My heart ached and my breath hitched at that sentence. The still likes her ex, no wonder a tear left her eyes. She was feeling mixed emotions with me, she didn't know wether she did or did not like me.

With a hurt heart I say, "But you kissed me." Which she nodded to and acknowledged what she'd indeed done.

"I know I did Tae, and I don't regret it. But still, I don't know why I did that, I thought I didn't like you but now I don't know how I'm feeling. How can I like two propel at the same time?" Lisa stresses, groaning and fidgeting with her fingers nervously.

I sighed, but then smiled in acceptance to what she'd said. I can't control who she might like, but I can of course try to win her over in the future. "Well, don't let it get to your head. Be who you want to be with, and I'll be happy either way. Just don't stress about it okay?"
