Me VS You //Bts FF

Chapter 64

Taehyung was walking side by side with Effie with whom he had a date in a beautiful restaurant and they had just come out of it.

To say that he was stressed by the bold move he had made would be an understatement, as the only reason he had asked this girl out was because he had learned that she was Irine's roommate. And because between him and Irine, all things had happened but she still apparently liked someone else and saw him as nothing more than a temptation, Taehyung felt as if he had no hope any longer with her. So in order to show Irine that he didn't need her, he deliberately decided to start flirting with her roommate.

Of course, if there was any chance this would disturb Irine's emotional peace even a little bit, then he would certainly enjoy that. All these possibilities and possible reactions of Irine were for the future though and to get there he had to see through the now first and that was why Taehyung was feeling nervous.

He had treated Effie as well as he could so that he could make a good impression on her, hoping she would agree to go on another date with him if the need arose for him to ask her that. A date that he would make sure that Irine would see with her own eyes.

 So far, fortunately for him, the girl seemed to like him. Or so he had concluded by the way she kept talking sweetly to him and looking at him like a lost being.

"I had a great time tonight. I hope you will allow me to be in your company again." He told her with a smile as they reached the front door of the building, a taxi already waiting there as he had called it for her.

"Oh...oh...sure. It would be my pleasure. Thanks for the evening. "Effie smiled at him and Taehyung put his hand behind her back as he politely guided her to the taxi door.

"Have a good night, Effie." He told her as soon as he opened the door for her and then took her hand and to her surprise, he left a gentle kiss atop her skin.

 Effie was lost for words and blushed as soon as their eyes met again and she let out a broken goodnight before hurriedly entering the vehicle, feeling her heart fluttering at that gentleman-like action of his.

I guess I must have charmed her.

Taehyung thought as a smile of satisfaction reached his lips. And surely he would have been even more satisfied if he knew that at that moment in a taxi further away he was being watched angrily by Irine who had followed her roommate on the date, irritated at his action.

"How dare he pretend to be in love with me while flirting with others? You lying bastard! "

"And with who of all people? Effie! Of all the people in the world, he chose to go out with her. She is the most annoying, cynical foolish girl I know!"

Irine started talking to the taxi driver, who had nothing to do with all this and didn't know anything about what she was talking about either, but despite that, he just looked at her without speaking.

"No, tell me, sir? Do you think the girl who just left is nice? No, tell me!" The poor driver hesitated to answer and just looked once at Taehyung who was about to get into his car but for some reason, he stopped.

Irine followed the driver's gaze and saw Taehyung looking across the road with a rather shocked facial expression that would soon be followed by Irine's expression, who just turned her head to see Rin walking with her arms around the side of a boy. 

Why was she even out at such an hour in the middle of the night?

---change of set---

Jungkook and SoYi were both in their room, each on their beds, staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep, each for their own reasons.

Jungkook was having difficulty because he had been in bed all day today, he hadn't done much but sleep and now he couldn't fall asleep because of that. While SoYi was exhausted and wanted to go to sleep but she just couldn't fall asleep at all. Which was a common occurrence unfortunately for her.

After Jungkook heard her tossing and turning in her bed for the umpteenth time he started to get a little worried and even though he tried not to talk to her, as time passed he couldn't help but do so.

"Insomnia?" He blurted out, and SoYi turned her head sharply with an annoyed look, as for some reason she was on edge mentally at the moment but not specifically because of him.

"No, that's just how I sleep. I am not like other people who sleep still, I sleep while in movement" She replied sarcastically and then turned her back to his side, letting the room go quiet for a few minutes until she started to move again.

"Do you want me to try to help you sleep? "Jungkook's voice reached her ears in the darkness and for a moment she almost laughed at the suggestion.

"No one can help me with that. Everything I've ever tried in my life hasn't worked." SoYi confided facts that were true but there was no reason for her to tell him of all people. The late hour of the night and her vulnerable position seemed to have begun to affect her tongue.

"Believe me I know what it's like. I had problems like that when I was a youngster too but then I found something that worked like magic," said Jungkook to her and even though she couldn't see him, she could tell his excitement by the tone of his voice alone.

"And what is that?" SoYi decided to ask though at that moment she wasn't curious to know, just because he seemed excited, she felt bad to leave him out in the cold without giving him a chance to make the effort.

"Hold up, just a moment," replied Jungkook and then SoYi heard the sound of his covers moving and soon a few steps that made her turn around, only to face Jungkook, who had pressed his aching body to get up from his bed and approach hers.

Without SoYi having a chance to ask him what he was going to do, he reached her bed and took a position on the floor near her headboard.

"Settle in. Close your eyes now." He told her and SoYi didn't, feeling uncertain at that moment.

"What are you going to do?"

"It won't hurt. I guarantee it," Jungkook told her as he looked into her eyes honestly and after a few minutes SoYi's thoughts that were fighting over what to do, settled, so she finally closed her eyes and waited.

If he dares to make some kind of joke in the middle of the night, I'm going to slaughter him.

SoYi thought, but suddenly a tender melody reached her ears, freezing her thoughts. Her eyes widened in shock, not believing that such a sweet voice really existed yet, not only did it exist but its owner, was using it for her. To put her to sleep.

As she looked into his eyes, she felt her thoughts and inner turmoils falling into a calm and peacefulness, as his voice seemed to work like magi.  Velvet and beautiful.

Her eyes closed again, intending to properly enjoy this song he was humming to her and then she would ask tomorrow the reason why he had never said he could sing and so beautifully at that.

Her eyelids began to grow heavy and her consciousness began to flutter past reality and into the dream world and that was why she didn't react when Jungkook brought his hand to her cheek and gently brushed it unintentionally as he had intended to just move her hair away from her face a bit.

Just like Jungkook's mother used to do when he couldn't sleep and she would take it upon herself to lull him to sleep. Songs and sweet evenings that were left in his past and unfortunately he could never bring them back. No matter how lonely he feels in the darkness. Like he was feeling tonight.
