Breath 8

[ Author's P.O.V ]

It was Saturday and simply no class.

You woke up earlier than usual and went out for a walk with your 5 months pug Zombie. She was small and very cute and can't just stop yourself from hugging your small pet. You got her as a present from your dad, since you are dying to have a pet pug then named her Zombie for no reason. She always wear a thing white collar and a silver tag where Queen's Zombie was written. The meaning of that name was simply you being the owner of Zombie.

"Oh my baby is going to pee?" You cooed as you found Zombie stopped and began scraping his tiny little paws on the pavement. The small monster lets out a cute bark before you carried him and quickly put him to a corner. "OK, you can pee now baby." You said and Zombie lets her water out. "Good Zombie." You said as Zombie barks, telling you that she's finished and went to continue your stroll together.

You were having a good mood as you stroll along the city park when you met Taehyung on the way. You both stopped and stared at each other for a moment. And before you could speak, Taehyung continued to walk pass by you. You frowned, of all the people you could meet why that douchebag? After being his date in that gala night, he never talked to you again. "Aish," you hissed, biting your lips as you started to feel upset about it. "That douchebag is getting into my nerves.." You said, looking at Zombie who was staring at you with his hazelnut colored googly eyes.

"I thought we're over with that douchebag thing."

You gasped when you heard Taehyung spoke from behind, then no further seconds Zombie started to bark at him. "Zombie," You snapped, shutting her up but the pug kept on barking at him. "She doesn't like you." You said, as you carried her to your arms and that was the time Zombie calmed down.

"I can see that." Taehyung replied. You looked at him and for the nth time, you found him freakingly attractive.

"Are you here to have a walk or you're out for a fashion show?" You raised a brow, as you find him wearing a clean white shirt, black cargo shorts, long grey cardigan, and a pair of white Nike shoes.

"Is that the way you say that I'm attractive?" He scoffed, rubbing his tall bridged nose.

You blushed and bit your lip. You shouldn't have said that. "Omg, you're not just a douchebag but a freaking assuming alien." You scoffed back.

"Are you that smart to call me a douchebag? Or is it an endearment for me?"

"Ya, do you hear yourself? EXCUSE ME." You shot back, flipping your hair in annoyance. "No wonder I don't like the two of you." You mumbled.

Taehyung's brows furrowed as he looked at you. You almost gave up since that look really hit you hard; he was handsome. "Two?"

"Yeah, Jin and you." You replied, and immediately slapped yourself. "Wait, why am I talking to you anyways? Aish." You said and turned your back on him and started walking.

"Who do you think he is? Pfft. What a loser." You said to yourself, not knowing that you have been hugging Zombie tight already as you walk your way towards the other side of the park.

"ruff... r-ruff.."

"Omg! Zombie! I'm so sorry! Did I hurt you?" You cooed, hugging your pug close to your cheek. "I'm so sorry, I just got mad. I did not mean to hurt you." You said, not minding the passersbys staring at you weirdly.

"Ya." You stopped and turned around to face him again, this time with a real sure frown.

"Ya? My name is So-" You were stopped when Taehyung suddenly covered your head with his long cardigan. This was the first time, he moved close to you, like just for mere seconds you felt his breath hit your skin, his tall nose almost touched yours and his lips almost kissed yours. You had your breath stopped for a moment until he pulled away and looked at you with his poker-eyes. His scent can be smelled on the cardigan and you can't stop yourself from liking it.

"Wash it with cold water and don't use bleach in it." He said and walked away; without looking back at you.

"Y-ya! What do you think me?? Your laundry maid?! You douchebag!" You yelled but he didn't look back and just continued his way. "Stupid! I hate th-" You stopped when you felt cold drops of water hit your skin. "Shoot the anonymous! It's raining!" You exclaimed as you started to run your way to a shed, hugging Zombie tight inside your arms. Sooner or later, the rain poured down heavily that you can't see the park at all. "Aish, of all the days why now?" You whined out loud, since you're the only person who was in the shed and probably no one would hear you screaming there.

-

"What happened to you?" Hara asked as she was the one who saw you come inside the house soaking wet. "And who's that cardigan you're wearing?" She asked next.

"You don't want to know." You mumbled and headed to your room after leaving Zombie to her. "Do me a favor unni, please? Give Zombie a nice warm bath."

"OK, but be sure you take a bath too, okay? We don't want to get sick here!" She yelled as you were already upstairs.

You got in your room and stared at your magic mirror for a moment. You noticed Taehyung's cardigan still on top of your head. You pulled it off and got a sight of the tag "Gucci." You scoffed, "Who would use a freaking Gucci cardigan just for a walk? Worst, for a raincoat?" You said and threw the cardigan to your bed and heads for a shower.

As you were feeling the warm water hit your skin, you can't stop yourself from thinking about Taehyung. His not so obvious freaking gestures are getting into you. You can't help but to think something from it. You're not friends but why is he treating you that way? There are a plenty of times that you gave crack at him. First was, during the first day; he lets you slip then he even saved you from the Girls Generation. Second, he warned you not to get close to Jin and invited you to be his date on a grand dinner and lastly, he gave you his cardigan to cover yourself from the rain.

"Aish, you freaking douchebag, I hate you but do you like me?" You asked yourself but eventually shrugged the thought off since it's making you confuse.

-

The rain stopped in the afternoon so you decided to go for a shopping this time, and being sure, you brought an umbrella. You were hoping that you might see Taehyung around, since the city is not that big at all. You want to thank him for lending you his cardigan and to show that you're sincere you want to invite him to have a cup of hot choco.

And you bet the odds were really with you.

You saw Taehyung walked out of a flower shop getting all groomy. He was carrying a bouquet of pink tulips. You smiled, he looks cute with those flowers. You took a deep breath before you marched towards him and as soon as you were near him, you poked his shoulder:

"Kim Taehyung I'm sorry for what I said earlier and thank you for the ca-"

"Taehyung-ie!" You were stopped when a girl, who is almost the same height as him walked out of the flower shop as well and went to backhug him, like wtf. And for the first time, Taehyung smiled widely at the girl and you're there standing like a dumbass being slapped by a chicken head.

"What were you saying again?" Taehyung asked, as he faced you again.

"N-nothing. I said the flowers are pretty. So pretty that I want that on my funeral when I'm dead." You scoffed and immediately walked away from them.

The thought of him liking you was impossible. Seeing that gorgeous girl backhugging him was surreal. She was prettier than you. She makes him smile so wide. She can touch him so tight. Like wtf again.
