•My Dear V•

-A Hug-

I walked towards the cupboard, still embarrassed.

Why am I like this? Even though it's just one word, "you".

I ruffled my hair excitedly. My face is hot. Well done Taehyung.

By the way, I already took a shower.

.

Today I know something new about Taehyung. He's an otaku, he really likes anime. He says he likes the characters L from Death Note and Kaneki Ken from Tokyo Ghoul.

Even when he passed a shop selling action figures and Japanese goods, he was very amazed and enthusiastic.

Ended with him buying Kaneki Ken and Luffy action figures.

On exiting the shop, the kid handed me something. Making me raise an eyebrow and look at him in surprise.

"What?"

"for you"

"Hah?"

I received the small paper bag offered by Taehyung, then took out its contents.

It's an action figure, but a tinkerbell character. I looked at Taehyung, asking for an explanation.

"Just like you. Tiny, cute, pretty"

Okay. Okay, don't be shy, don't be awkward. Don't panic, don't be nervous.

But damn it, now I'm even confused myself and staring here and there while trying to hide my face.

"Are you okay? Your face is red, you have a fever?"

I waved my hand in front of him,

"N-no! Come on ah!"

I grabbed Taehyung's jacket sleeve and dragged him away from there. This kid is so dangerous, his innocent gaze even makes me want to scream.

I spent a lot of time with Taehyung. We circled all floors of the mall, trying whatever caught our attention there. Trying on clothes, but not buying. Looked at shoes, but also did not buy. Read a book, but came out empty handed.

Taehyung and I also entered the photobooth. Even though it took a little coercing because I just found out that Taehyung doesn't like taking pictures. In fact he looked very stiff and surprised when the camera flash went off.

I couldn't stop laughing, and he smiled while ruffling my hair a little.

We also played in timezone. But mostly it's just me playing because Taehyung's hand hurts, so he can't do games that use a lot of hand force, like racing, claw machine dolls, basketball, and the like. He can only ride mini kora-kora and play pump it up.

"I'm tired" I complained after getting off the mini roller coaster while panting. I'm tired of screaming.

Taehyung smiled, since he was on the roller coaster earlier he was very calm while embracing my shoulder. He wasn't hysterical at all.

"Are you hungry? Let's eat"

I nod happily.

"Do you want to eat at a cafe or restaurant? What kind of food?"

"You ask a lot, let's just walk first, later if we find a suitable one we will enter"

Taehyung only complied when I pulled his jacket sleeve again. I don't want to hold his hand, his hand still hurts. No I'm not disgusted or anything, really! But Taehyung's wound looks very painful when I touched. I just got sick looking at it.

And until now he still doesn't want to tell.

At first Taehyung wanted to wrap his wound in bandages, again he said he was afraid I would be embarrassed. I forbid it, the wound won't dry up if he keeps it covered. It looks like it's almost cured after all.

We are still walking around, looking for a suitable place to rest while filling our stomachs. While Taehyung led the way, I looked around looking for an interesting restaurant or cafe.

Taehyung's footsteps stopped, and coincidentally at that time my eyes saw a small restaurant that caught my attention with its aesthetic atmosphere.

"That's-"

When I turned towards Taehyung, I saw the boy froze. He was speechless with an expression that looked surprised or dumbfounded as he stared ahead.

I followed his gaze in confusion.

And for God's sake, my reaction was not much different from Taehyung's, or even I was more surprised.

Upon seeing who "they" were, his surprise multiplied

The man who was standing not far in front of us squeaked. He smiled sarcastically at me and Taehyung.

"J-Jungkook..." I croaked. My eyes looked at Yiyang who was standing next to Jungkook while looking innocently at the both of us.

"What? You were surprised too?" he said.

I fell silent, clenching my jaw as I tried to contain my emotions. No, I'm not mad. I just ah!

"It's true that you have an affair with this mute"

I started looking at him disapprovingly when he said to Taehyung, "Jungkook, I don't―!"

"If you can, why can't I?" he continued, cutting off my sentence, which then made me stare at him unexpectedly.

So all this time I've been trying to think positively about them all in vain?

So, Jungkook and Yiyang... they...

My hands gripping Taehyung's jacket, shaking. No, I... I just didn't expect Jungkook to do that.

The next incident shocked me half to death. I almost screamed, I was not even Yiyang. It was Taehyung, he just walked towards Jungkook and lunged at him. The kid punched Jungkook in the face, knocking Jungkook to the ground.

And for the first time in Taehyung's life, he dared to hurt Jungkook, his brother whom he really loved.

.

.

.

No, it's still drizzling.

We both chose to go straight home after the incident. Jungkook and Taehyung almost got into a fight if Yiyang and I didn't break them up.

In fact we became the center of attention of the people there.

It was the first time I saw Taehyung that angry.

Currently the child is walking behind me, our distance is 3 meters apart. I walked first while contemplating thinking about Jungkook and Yiyang. Looked down, and my body began to moist because of the drizzle.

I'm not jealous. I'm not hurt. I don't even know why. I'm just imagining Jungkook casually saying that to me, it feels so...

My footsteps stopped when something plugged my ear. Look, it's Taehyung. He put earphones in my right ear from behind.

Then, a song played.

Why do birds suddenly appear Everytime you are near? Just like me they long to be Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky Everytime you walk by? Just like me they long to be Close to you

I was about to turn my body backwards, but Taehyung's hand held my body first. Holding my shoulders, and telling me to keep facing forward.

And the next second, I was stunned as he draped his jacket over my shoulders. Then hugged me from behind. One hand is empty, and the other hand is holding the cellphone where the earphones are connected. He wrapped his arms around me, hugging me.

I felt Taehyung's chin land on my shoulder.

And stupid me, even cried when he hugged me like that under the rain.
