As You Are (Kim Taehyung Story)

Chapter 19

A young guy opened the door. Unfortunately and fortunately, it wasn't Jooheon. Well, he was about the same age us.

"Yes, can I help you?"

"Uh yes, uhm. Is Jooheon here?"

"Jooheon? Oh he just left like 10 minutes ago"

"10 minutes ago!?" Both Taehyung and I said at the same time. 

The guy, who I assumed is Jooheon's friend, just slowly nod his head. 

"Okay, did he told you if he's going anywhere?" Taehyung asked. 

"Not really. But he said that he wanted to find his friend. He said that he needs to apologise before its too late"

"Friend? Too late?"

Taehyung then suddenly said "If he left 10 minutes ago, that means that he isn't too far away. Come on, lets go! We need to catch up!"

We hurriedly thank the guy and rushed off to try and find Jooheon. After a few minutes of non-stop fast paced walking, we saw a figure that was very similar to Jooheon's and I am 100% sure its him. I could not wait any longer, so I shouted his name. The moment he heard my voice, he turned around and stopped walking. I ran as fast as I could towards him and thankfully, he just stood there, not even attempting to run away. 

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, LEE JOOHEON?! Do you know how worried I am when I got to know from your neighbour that you have not been home for the past few weeks? Why did you leave?! What made you think of running away? How could you, leave me?" at that moment, I was both angry but at the same time, relieved because Jooheon is now right infant of my eyes. 

Jooheon just stared at me and then pulled me into a hug. "I am, so, so sorry, Hyejin. I didnt mean to chase you out. I guess I was too caught up with my emotions. I couldnt control myself. Plus, my body was hurting at that point of time so maybe my mind was not stable too" He sort of joked. 

I punched his chest. "That's not funny. You made me go through a lot. Luckily for me, Taehyung was there for me to keep me sane"

Jooheon then looked up and stared at Tae. He then walked up to Taehyung, which kinda made me bit nervous.

"Look man, I'm sorry to you too. Especially to you. I'm sorry for being such a jerk from the starting. I don't know what has gotten into me. I think I am just afraid that my best friend is going get hurt and I can't be there to protect her. I'm really sorry for misjudging you. I really am"

"It's okay. I understand where you're coming from. But don't worry. I can promise you that I will never, hurt her. She's... precious to me"

I couldnt help but to smile. I smiled mainly because I'm happy that both Jooheon and Taehyung has made up and....... because Taehyung just told Jooheon that I am precious to him. How can I not blush upon hearing that?

"Okay! Enough of the lovey dovey! Jooheon, you need to treat me and Taehyung because you have made us travel all the way here, starting off early in the morning-"

"Yeah, till someone made me knock my head against the bus railing or pole or whatever you call it"

I just laughed and apologised again. 

"Ok ok. I'll treat you guys okay. But, I need to meet someone first. I'll meet you guys back at home at night, alright?"

"Whooooo?"

"Nah, just someone. Not that important" he winked and waved us goodbye. 

"Do you think, Jooheon is hiding something or should I say someone from us?" I asked Taehyung, full of suspicion. 

"Well.... maybe? Maybe he found himself a date, who knows. And speaking of date, would you like to go out on a proper date with me?"

That caught me off guard. 

"What?"

"I said, would you like to go out on a proper date with me?" he smiled. 

"W-when?"

"Just answer it with a yes or no first"

"Uhhhhh. Yes!" I covered my face and ran away. I felt so embarrassed! but also happy at the same time. I can't deny that. 

Taehyung then just slowly walked until  he has caught up with me and gave me one of his charming smirk when I turned to look at him. Sort of showing that he is successful in making me blush. We travelled back home and honestly, it was a very long day and I am really exhausted. We went straight home and I collapsed onto my bed right after showering. Few minutes later, I received a text from Taehyung. 

Kim Taehyung: I'll be by your door at 1pm tomorrow. Just wear something comfortable alright. See you. Goodnight! 

Not only that, he sent me a picture of him smiling too. 1pm. Something comfortable. Where is he going to bring me to? Will we be able to have a nice date without having any interruption or having anything bad happening during the date?
