6 : is this a date?

Y/N's POV :

I seriously didn't thought that after the night we spent a day ago, I would be able to be in his contact anymore. But here I was, with his number saved in my phone. It feels surreal. What I thought would be a one night thing, certainly feels like something more.

That is the thing. It is what is called getting your hopes up. But I can't help it. Not when it comes to him. Not after him being so caring the night before. I still cannot get it out of my head. The way he handled everything so perfectly while I was panicking like hell.

Maybe it was because it was the fact that no one had showed me this level of affection before. It was new and thrilling. And even though I knew I had to reign my emotions, somehow, this man made my logic to jump out the window. Is it quite early to say this man has me falling for him? Maybe.

Everything felt too much at the moment. I unlocked the door to my apartment. Tossed the bag I was carrying at the bedside table and made a beeline for my bed. In my mind, I had the vague idea to use the cream he had given me but I was feeling dizzy and before I knew it, sleep enveloped me. Thank god it's a day off.

I woke up from my slumber at about 4'O clock and my stomach rumbled real bad. So I quickly had a shower and made my way to the kitchen. I didn't had many options because I forgot to buy the groceries. Sighing quietly, I checked if there was a pack of noodles left.

Finding one, I quickly boiled water in the pot and let the noodles cook. Meanwhile, I took out my phone and immediately smiled seeing that one message in my notifications from the guy I have come to adore.

Taehyung : Reached my house 👍

The message was sent hours back. Ugh I should have checked my phone once.

Me : Oh great. Sorry, I slept so I am seeing the message now 😬

I was about to close my phone thinking that he won't be active but not a second later, his message popped my screen again. Was he waiting for my text? I quickly shook that thought away.

Taehyung : No worries butterfly.

There, there. My heart did summersaults reading the message and I couldn't form a coherent response. So with cheeks flushed, I just reacted to the message with a heart and went to check away my noodles.

Taehyung's POV :

I couldn't help but smile seeing her response to the text I sent. It was obvious that she was blushing after seeing how she took so much time to respond and came up with nothing. This little woman has made me more happy than I have been in days and that just makes me want to keep her close more.

I didn't do anything without thinking it through. I wanted so much more than being a friend to her. It's a bit early to say this, no, a bit too early to say this. But sometimes you just know. I want to take her time with me. I cannot go far and think she would want the same even when it feels like that at the moment.

Shrugging my thoughts I went to my study to look after some documents. That's the thing about Y/N. I don't know the last time when I was so excited to do something for my own. The confidence she filled me in with is the result why I am again going to work hard to get away from the shithole I am trapped in.

I thought I was loosing the battle somehow but just the thought of the girl with that pretty smile is enough to fight more. For myself, for her.

The only thing I have to make sure is that my own mother doesn't come in between and shatter my plans. Like she always does and slowly chips away my freedom. Not this time mother dearest.

___________________________________________

Two weeks passed in a blur and in this time, both Y/N and Taehyung had regular chats. Not much. Just how their day went and whereabouts like that. But even with those little exchanges, somewhere in their hearts they felt that their friendship was building into something more. Something which none of them seemed to deny. The subtle flirty texts sometimes signaled the same.

It was evening when Y/N was working her last few hours at the café. Dressed in a blue and white checkered summer dress, she looked radiant. With an equally pretty bow that tied her hair in a half ponytail, she looked like a vintage beauty. No wonder she was irresistible for some prince out there.

Taehyung : I wanted to ask you something Y/N.

You : What is it? 👀

Taehyung : You seem pretty excited about it already huh?

You : Because it's not a daily occurance that a prince asks you something 😎

Taehyung : Haha funny! I am calling you

Seeing the message, her eyes went wide as saucers. They have had chatted non stop for the last few days. How did he take out so much time to do that was unknown to her. Not that she complaint. Taking a deep breathe, she finally excepted the call, feeling all giddy.

"Took you long enough to answer, Butterfly."

Her heart hammered in her chest so wild hearing his voice after days.

"Umm sorry, I wasn't just expecting that."

The nervousness in her voice made him chuckle. It sounded so deep that she couldn't help but feel a delicious shiver rolling down her spine.

"Well there is something more that you wouldn't be expecting that I am going to ask"

He couldn't hide is own nervousness and she gulped a little hearing his words.

"What is it Tae?"

Yes, she called him Tae now. But it was the first time he was hearing her say that and that made him a little flustered.

"I was thinking this for a while now. You know? It's been weeks we haven't met so I was just thinking if we should hang out anytime soon? It's the weekend as well."

She couldn't shrug off the surge of excitement she felt at his words. Was this...? was this what she was thinking it is? She had felt that reluctance in his voice as well. Was he hinting what she thought it was?

"Is this a date you are taking me out on Mr. Prince Charming?"

The smile that made it's way to his lips was beyond beautiful. Did he wanted to take her out on a date? Yes. But he didn't knew she would ask that so herself. His happiness knew no bounds at that moment.

"You could think that so, butterfly."

___________________________________________

Yeah, I know I haven't been regular. But that's because everything is being too hectic. Yet, at the same time, when things get hard, I return to my comfort characters. That is them - Tae and his butterfly. That's a way I try to escape the reality somehow 😭
