c h e r r y

I've been staring at Taehyung, who's currently looking around his room. He's been silent, few words left his mouth. I didn't want to assume what he's feeling or what's going through his mind, but probably because it's been a while since he has come here.

His room was simple, not to many things decorated the place. There was so many books, shelves and a library. But what made this room alive was this simple family photo on the corner of the desk. There was only the younger Tae, his brother and mother. I won't even bother asking where the father is, probably in rotting in jail.

"Don't you want to sleep?" I tiredly asked, desperately wanting to close my eyes.

He turns his back to face me. Nodding, he goes on the floor. His mom suggested Tae to sleep with a sleeping bag since the bed is small, but we can adjust.

I kick his leg as he leaves a groan like before when I slapped his face to get some confidence. "Get up here, I want to sleep with you."

He shrugs, putting both of his hands under his head as he shows me his tiny grin. "I feel like sleeping alone today."

I begged several more times, eventually he turned his back, pushing me away. I stare at his shirt that stretched his shoulders, his back muscles flexed when he moved his left arm under his head.

"You like sleeping on the floor, then I'll buy you a sleeping bag at home and I'll sleep alone in my big bed. I'll kick you if you try to get back up," I pondered, dramatically putting the covers on me as I face the wall.

It's not even a small bed, it's large enough for the both of us. Well, good for me I'll sleep soundly on my own.

The bed started to sink, it made a little creaking noise. Next thing I felt was his breathing against my ear and his arm pulling towards his body. I smiled unconsciously, turning around to look at his face.

His eyes were closed but he kept murmuring how he didn't like this room. I asked him if he would like to sleep with his brother, but he smiled, opening his eyes. He kissed my forehead, telling me it was fine since I was here with him.

"You know, I'm so glad that I have someone like you. Understandable, patient and obviously gorgeous," He whispered sweetly. "Even Mom loves you and not to forget my brother."

I laughed, teary eyed. I tried to not show him my face by putting my face on his chest. "Taehyung, let's get married after we're both finished with University."

This was spontaneous. I never have thought or even had that thought slipped in my mind. But the moment I heard those words, I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this man.

"Yes, let's do that," He murmured against my head, before giving it a long kiss. "But before that I have to meet with your parents. I'm sure they'll be as lovely as you."

I didn't bother saying anything, I kept quiet and closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep as quickly as I can.

"Y/n? Already asleep? Good night, then," He chuckled, tapping my back and it rested there.

I feel sorry to pretend to be asleep. But I don't know it this moment what to say. Should I say yes, when they're not? Father is indeed lovely but mother, no way in hell she is.

She will never accept me being a ballet dancer, just imagining that I have a boyfriend with tattoos, who's job is doing tattoos, she'll just block me from her contacts. But he's studying in law, that's pretty prestigious.

I must meet them alone and talk about Taehyung. I know this guy would pop off if he talks to my mother. I have to start to lay a base then Tae can smootly come in without my parents being surprised about it, plus Jungwon loves him.
