Bad Boys Desire | Taehyung

Chapter 3 - The Kiss

Dinner was tense and uncomfortable because of Taehyung's stepmom, but my parents didn't seem to be in that situation. "Thank you sincerely for the food, it's been such a great evening," Taehyung's stepmom said.

My parents laughed together while my dad talked about old recollections. "Really thank Mrs. Kim for traveling into such a long journey simply to get here."

Mom suggested that Taehyung visit us since he was living alone in his condo, and Taehyung agreed, saying, "Sure Mrs. Park," while looking at me.

The stepmom said, "Do you have any classes together?" I replied, "Uhm.. Yeah Like 3 classes together?" unsure of what I should say as Taehyung and I don't really interact in class.

He corrected himself, "4 classes together."I had no idea he would pay attention to such things. I looked at Taehyung and answered, "Oh..Yeah, 4 classes together." I had a tight smile on my face.

Mom responded, and we both grinned, "That's fantastic since you guys can stick up together like the old days."

———————————

Jihye remarked, "So, Taehyung was at your home and I had no idea that your parents were still close after the tragedy.

I explained to them, "Well, my parents agreed to hold a family dinner in order to meet Taehyung's stepmom.

Both of them expressed disbelief at the revelation, asking, "Wait, Taehyung has a stepmom?"

I also told them everything that happened between Taehyung and I.

-LAST NIGHT-

Taehyung glanced up to me and his father with a furious face as his father questioned, "So how was taehyung in school?" with a strict and serious expression.

I answered with a forced smile, "Oh, he's excellent, he's good."

His father put pressure on me by saying, "Really? That's surprising, did he break any rules or anything? And his grades are terrible, right?"

Taehyung added, looking directly at his father and tightening his grip on the fork, "Dad not here," His stepmom looking at us and looked apologetic. I just smiled and was visibly sweating because of how awkward it was at the table.

I said with a forced smile, "I'm just going to the restroom."

Once I had finished using the restroom, I returned to the table to discover that they had finished eating. I then turned to look at the living room and saw our parents talking, but I couldn't see Taehyung.

I have no idea how or why I finding into Taehyung, but as I continue, I see him smoking in the backyard.

I remarked on his health by saying, "Could you just stop smoking? It's bad for your health."

He looked up and stared at her. "It's none of your business, and why would you say that I was doing well in school even though you know I don't? I thought you despised me."

I replied softly to him, "I simply don't want them to look down on you I know how much pressure they've put on you since we were kids" while he continued to stare at me with an unexplainable look in his eyes.

He coughed. It actually hurt a little to hear him say, "Sometimes you should really just mind your own business for god's sake," I was worried about him. What a jerk!

"Okay, I apologize, I should have minded my own business" I muttered as I sat down on the bench as he sat down too.  I gave him my questioning "what are you doing" looks.

He sighed and asked, "Why can't I sit," glancing at me.

Looking into my eyes,  He continued, "I'm sorry for what I said earlier, but I don't want someone to feel pity for me."

I mockingly responded to him, "didn't realize you could apologize thought you were just a jerk huh."

He replied, placing his hands under his jacket because it was cold, "thanks. for saying that but you really didn't need to I got it in my own." He was staring at the stars.

I told Taehyung, now that we were both staring at each other, "You know you seem really strong and i've admired you about that since the incident but I know deep inside you're hurting, sometimes you just really need someone to lean on so you can get your strength over time. You can't always rely on yourself if you can't even take care of yourself."

For the first time in a long time, he truly smiled.

It seemed for a moment that he was the only person I could see, but suddenly, he also turned his face to me in slow motion, making me wonder if I was dreaming. I mean, I can't deny that he is really handsome—his nose, his lips, and most definitely his doe eyes—and I can't help but keep to stare at them. He grinned.

He added, "You're freezing," and, boy, was he ever close to my face. At that moment, we could both hear each other's heartbeats, and I could definitely hear his. We kept looking at each other for a while, and for a second later i froze.

I wasn't sure what to do next as he leaned in closer to me. Did I want to kiss him? I closed my eyes shut as he inched closer.

My lips were in contact with his, and we kissed.

He proceeded to kiss me while placing his palms on my cheek to deepen the kiss. For a brief period, all I could think about was how his lips were on me and how we just had an disagreement. I was unable to stop him, so I chose to do nothing. I could feel the heat spreading throughout our bodies; I no longer believed I was cold.

He was being so gentle about the kiss, and for a little moment, I imagined that our parents were actually present. I was able to stop him, but after it was over, sadness overcame me.

I pushed him away, and while I just froze, his cheeks began to heat up.

I said, "We should really be getting inside it's cold you'll get fever," and I walked away from him.

I shouldn't be experiencing this right now, knowing what is happening to me.

——————————

"Girl, I regret calling him hot, though he's all yours now," Dahee exclaimed, And was Jihye.

Jihye apologized for not being able to inform me sooner since she was in a hurry and added, "Oh guys, I need to go now. Coach will be mad."

We both said, "Bye love you!" as we said our goodbyes.

Someone shouted as I made my way to the gate. Minhyun exclaimed, "YUNJIN!" I was almost in disbelief. "Hey, I thought you were going to give me a tour," Minhyun replied, sounding a little let down.

It slipped my memory since I couldn't forget my interaction with Taehyung from yesterday, so I apologized and said, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry I forgot."

I'm not sure if the Taehyung I saw yesterday was still the same Taehyung I knew he looked too different and was no longer the flirtatious student he used to be in class.

 I replied by locking arms with him and said, "Okay come on, I'll give you a tour."

"Wait," he said, "actually, I toured the entire campus yesterday because you couldn't get to tour me what about a coffee with me tell me about the school some gossip you know." He smirked leaning towards me.

"You got moves, huh? see, I don't really know any school gossip, and I don't like dramas," I said.

"It's okay, actually never mind about it how about just hang around with me lets have fun since its Saturday tomorrow?" he urged with his doe eyes.

sigh, doe eyes are my weakness so I just accepted.
