17: Curiosity Kills The Cat (1/2)

I'm bored...

Like hell.

Everything feels like an epiphany.

It feels like I have something that I can never have. But... I have it. I have him. I just need to tell him about it.

"Maybe I should just explore a bit." Raising up abruptly from the bed, I decided to look around for some time.

Strolling through the big rooms, I was amazed at the furniture and luxury. His house was like a perfect home, neither too small, nor too big. But, it contained a fragment of sadness and eeriness. The silence...

It made it desperate for some happiness and laughs. I wonder where his parents are? Are they dead? Because he's living for so long. They must've passed away. Does that mean he's living all by himself for all this time?

While walking, I came across a wall covered with a white bedsheet. A golden frame slightly peeked out through its corner, confirming the idea that there was some kind of picture behind the white cloth...

"What's... this?" I hesitated. Shall I remove it? Nothing would happen even if I do so. But the last time I was curious, I got involved in an almost murder... All alone in a deadly street. 

"No one's gonna see it, right?" I gulped awkwardly, my eyes glimpsing back and forth at the room's corners, looking out for any kind of hidden or small cameras. 

Fortunately, there were none. Once something came in my luck. 

"Phew, here it goes!" I exclaimed, with a beating heart, finally removing the dusty cloth from the mystery.

"Woah-" My throat got stuck in the middle. 

The big picture was kind of rusted from some parts...  It was a big frame with a picture of Taehyung smiling. He was smiling beside someone. Jisoo...? 

What the fuck?

"Why is she in that picture?" I muttered, narrowing my eyes at the unexpected sight.

Does Jisoo know him? The first time she saw him... She didn't have any special reaction. Neither did Taehyung seem to know her. Then why does he have a picture of her in his room? Is there something that I don't know?

The way his large hands were relaxing over her shoulder with a proud smile really wasn't something common. I mean, they didn't look friendly whatsoever. They looked more than that...

But, wasn't he my boyfriend in the past?

What is going on...

"Fuck this shit I'm out."

"Yeah, exactly, you should be."

My shoulders flinched like shit before I turned around, witnessing someone I never wanted to come there... At that moment mostly.

"T-Taehyung..." I gulped, lowering my eyes with an unexplainable voice. What was I supposed to say?

"What are you doing roaming around my house? Looking and touching my personal things?"

Ouch.

My heart felt a pang when I looked into his strange gaze. Did he ever love me? If yes, then what is this behavior? 

"I-I was just bored," I replied, slowly.

"That doesn't give you the right to go through my stuff, does it?" He cut my words, sharply.

Inhaling and exhaling were the only things I could do. There was a thick silence and I absolutely hated such an awkward ambiance. I miss the time when we once went out and stargazed at the sky. That day was the only day I ever felt comfortable and delighted with him.
