Cut Eyebrows

33---i want to ask you out

"Sangchil!" Taehyung called and swung his arm around.

She looked up from her novel, giving Taehyung a questioning look. "What is it?"

He sat on his knees and leaned his elbows on the coffee table, gazing up at Sangchil, who was reading comfortably on the couch. "I want to get some fresh air."

"Mm." She hummed, not interested.

"Want to get some fresh air? With me?" He begged.

Sangchil flipped the page. "You can go. I'll stay here."

He let out a pout and sat down next to her. He whacked her book out of her hands, sending it tumbling on the floor.

"Taehyung!" She exclaimed. She stomped over to where the fallen book was, dusted it off and glared at the boy. "That was unnecessary."

He crossed his arms. "Humph."

"You're such a child!" She rolled her eyes. "Just go by yourself or take Jimin with you."

"He's back in Seoul!" He shouted back.

"Oh right, I forgot."

"And they ditched me here! All because of you!" He pointed accusingly. "You! Kwan! Sang! Chil!" He pointed at her with every syllable.

"Me? Taehyung, you're the one who decided to stay." She walked away, making Taehyung sulk. "I'm going to be studying, don't bug me."

She let out a relieved sigh. She flicked on her lamp for extra light and re-started her reading. But she couldn't focus, her mind was on the topic of Tae's friends.

After Jin and Charlotte's wedding, soon after all of Taehyung's friends including Namjoon went back to Seoul. Taehyung had decided to stay, since he and her reconciled.

Sangchil wondered, will she ever return back to her home city for a visit?

"Ah." She tapped her head. "Focus."

Her door busted open with Taehyung wearing his black peacoat. He ran in and jumped on her bed, making the bed frame rattle.

"Kim Taehyung!" She shut her book. "You're going to break the bed! I won't be able to sleep!"

"You can just sleep with me in my bed." He winked.

She blushed. "I've had enough. Get out."

"Aw, c'mon—"

"OUT."

Taehyung sighed and sat up. He faced her seriously. "You're always in your books. Always in your room either studying, reading, or just being by yourself. You're never fun anymore."

"Tae..."

"Can't you see that i'm trying to have fun with you? Can't you see that i'm t-trying to a-asking you out?" He stuttered.

"Ask... ing me out?" She said.

He firmly nodded. He marched over to he closet and took out her jacket. He threw it at her. "We're going out."

"What?"

"Let's go!"

\\\

"Really?" She chuckled. Taehyung came over to her, balancing two ice cream cones topped with two scoops each.

"Here." He smiled.

"Thanks." She held it and took a bite. "Yummy."

He gobbled down his too, taking big gulps.

"Yah, slowly." She nudged him.
