Your apartment felt small, now that Taehyung was standing in the middle of it. And really, it was a small place. A loft, with your bed in one corner atop a small flight of stairs, and a couch in the space between the kitchen and the so-called bedroom. There was a clock on the wall above the couch, and a TV on the wall facing it, though you never really watched TV all that much. Most of the time when you were at home was spent chilling on your laptop, watching k-dramas online or videos on Youtube.
The plant your mom had gifted you when you had moved to Seoul proudly stood under the TV, next to a TV cabinet on top of which pictures of you and Eunjin smiled back at you. There were pictures of your family too, and you knew that one of them held a very young Taehyung, along with Eunjin and Jeongyu. Taehyung hadn't noticed it yet, but you knew it would only be a matter of time.
"Welcome to my humble abode", you said as you motioned to the space surrounding you, trying to ease the nerves that were threatening to overcome your senses.
Taehyung flashed a grin at you, one that had your insides going molten. "It's pretty cosy, I like it."
His words made you redden, and your eyes fell to the carpet in front of the couch. It was a plush light gray carpet, on which you lay whenever things got too intense at work and you needed a break from life. You could almost imagine the shape of you in the carpet from the last time you laid there, and you focused on it as Taehyung's heavy gaze moved on your profile.
"Thank you", you breathed before looking at him. "It's clearly not as fancy as where you live but it's what I can afford."
He chuckled. "Who says I live somewhere fancy?"
You threw him a no-bullshit look, folding your arms on your chest as a reply.
"Okay, I might live somewhere fancy", he said, raising his hands in defense. "No need to glare at me like that."
You flushed red again. "I didn't mean..."
"Y/n, you're fine", Taehyung reassured you. "I'm only teasing you." He flashed another one of his boxy smiles, and you couldn't help but smile at him too.
"Do you want something to drink?" you asked, moving towards the refrigerator in the corner of the kitchen space. "I don't have much but I think I have banana milk."
"Are you Jungkook-ie?" he asked, taking you by surprise.
"What?"
He shook his head. "Never mind. It's just that Jungkook always drinks that."
"I don't blame him, it is so good." A small excited smile took over your lips as you grabbed the milk from the fridge. "It's heaven in a bottle."
"People usually say that about alcohol", Taehyung pointed out.
"That's because they've never had banana milk."
He laughed again, and it made your apartment seem warmer than it usually was. It made you feel warmer too, and you met Taehyung's gaze.
