Scared To Fall In Love

Yes Or No

The next evening Tae arrives for dinner and when you open the door he hands you a small bouquet of pink roses, your favorite. 

You had a wonderful dinner and ended up cuddled on the couch watching a movie. Holding you close against him he ask, "So, have you decided?"

You lean your head looking up at him, "Almost. I promise I will let you know for sure tomorrow."

The following night he takes you out to dinner, it was their last night in town before flying back to Seoul.

Once back at your apartment, Tae smiles at you as he holds your hand in his, he leans close to you "Come with us." he leans closer still, "Come with me . . .back to Korea."

Undecided you say "But what about Jungkook?" He has been the only thing making you hesitate on your decision.

"We all want you back." He leans in and gives you a kiss on the cheek.

"What was that for?" you smile up at him.

"That was from the others and this one is from me," He leans in and kisses you on the lips.

He pulls away but still leaning close, "So the answer to my question from a night ago, have you decided? Yes or No?"

You shyly smile then blush, "Yes, being your girlfriend will make me very happy."

Taehyung has asked you the other night to be his girlfriend. You told him you had to think it over, not because you didn't want to be, but because you weren't sure how it would affect Tae's friendship with Jungkook.

It has been several years since they went back to South Korea, with Jungkook leaving you behind without a word of explanation. Over the years you and Tae became close online till the relationship blossomed into something special.

A round 5AM in the morning, as you were sleeping, Tae was getting dressed to head back to his hotel. He placed the envelope with the plan ticket on your bedside table. He softly kissed your forehead and you murmured in your sleep and rolled over snuggling the pillow Taehyung had slept on.

Early that morning Jimin called you. He confirmed what your heart already knew, you and Taehyung were in love. Jimin told you it wasn't any business of Jungkook's.

While eating breakfast, Yoongi called you and you talked for over an hour. You were questioning how things would be around Jungkook.

He reminded you, "He left you, not the other way around." Yoongi had a very good point.

While cleaning up the kitchen your phone goes off again. It's Hobi and Jin. They both wanted you to come with them. Expressing your concern over Jungkook's reaction to you going with them, Jin told you, "Don't worry about him. I have my wooden spoon with me."

You laugh when you hear Hobi in the background say, "No you don't." and Jin says, "Koo doesn't know that though." You start giggling at them as they bicker.

It was a running joke that Jin wielded his wooden spoon as a tool of discipline, especially towards the youngest.

You are busy making lunch, after changing the sheets on your bed, when you hear your phone go off again. You smile, 'It has to be Jooni, he's the only one left.'

You giggle when you see his number popped up on your phone. "Hello Oppa."

He called to use his genius logic to convince you to come with them. He applied the logic of how making the group number 8, an even number, make great sense to him. He said how much better it would be for rides at amusement parks, getting seats on airplanes, and seating at restaurants by having even numbers. You shake your head at his logic but you knew what he was trying to do.

"We need you to come back with us and even out the numbers. Please come with us back to Korea." You told him he would know by tomorrow.

The whole day you went through all your house chores as if on autopilot. You had so many things running through your mind. Remembering how Jungkook acted towards you that day at the museum was one of them. Then you stop as you reach your bedroom and remember the night Taehyung had spent with you.

After much thought and arguing with yourself,  you realized going to Korea with Tae would help close the door on the Jungkook part of your past. He was definitely your past.

Later that night as you climbed into bed you held the pillow Taehyung had slept on close to you and took a deep breath inhaling his lingering scent. 

That settled it, you called your mom and let her know you were coming home. Then you called your best friend Dae.
