Shenanigans

34

Taehyung had gotten home that night and went straight to the balcony, settling in on the chair that Hana had previously sat on, all night.

After giving Taehyung his indirect blessing, Hanbin had decided to drop some threatening talk because he said Jiwon won't shut up about it otherwise.

He didn't precisely said what he would do to Taehyung if he dared break his sister's heart, but Taehyung knew it involved some skinning and his body part chopped off.

Or something along the line.

However, Taehyung had no intention on playing with her feelings, with or without the threat. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her in any way.

He still needed to figure out the depth of his feelings for her. All the hours spent thinking had not help him answer the question Hanbin had asked him.

Does he loves Hana ?

Maybe ?

At the end of his midnight meditation, he came to a conclusion that he's going to wait. He's going to pretend like nothing happened. Like he never figured out he has feelings for her. Like everything was normal.

Hah.

Whatever it was, he can't make Hana confused when he was still not sure of his feelings. Two confused people are the recipe of trouble.

He still had three days to think about it before the school starts on Monday. Before he was forced to face Hana and deal with his feelings.

He thought of not meeting Hana throughout the few days that he had. Hanbin had said he wanted to take Hana out to catch up yesterday so he had looked forward to the call that night.

This time around, he concentrated more on her excitement filled stories. He had a smile on, listening to her.

He had missed her then. Almost made him went to her house and climbed through her gate, just to see her face, all light up while she talked about her adventurous day.

So Friday went like that too, Taehyung decided to study because he just can't seem to get her out of his mind. He had went to his secret hideout at night, trying to get a peace of mind, just to went home more confused than before.

Saturday was almost as boring, if not more. Taehyung went out to have a jog in the park in hope of having a clearer mind by the end of it.

Fruitless.

So he tried swimming. He thought that maybe the water would cool some of the heat down.

Says who.

After much failure, he decided on video games. That has to do right ? I mean, how can you thought of anything else when your fort was about to be taken down by some brain eating creatures, right ?

Wrong.

Finally giving up, he went to seat outside again after dinner. Haemi had realized that her son had something bothering him but he didn't look like he wanted to talk about it, so she just let him be. He'll come to her when he's ready. So when his heavy footsteps headed out to the balcony, she didn't stop him.

Taehyung has been seating yet again, on the chair Hana had sat on. He just stared into the distance, watching the dark sky of the summer night, starless. The moon was barely a Cresent, making the sky look more empty than usual.

Taehyung took out the polaroid picture that Sehun had given to him at the camp. His thumb ran over her face, innocent and serene with her eyes tight shut.

He watched how the guy in the picture look so comfortable, lying his head on top of the girl's. How, months ago, he wouldn't even talk to girl unless absolutely necessary. How, many months ago, he wouldn't have been able to sleep so peacefully with a girl beside him, so close at that. Heck, he wouldn't even seat beside a girl on a bus.
