Chapter 13

[Min Ha Neul's POV]

I told Taehyung literally everything. From how I felt when my parents treated me back then. How my mother died and my father's behavior changed after that. What my father would do when he drunk. And then last but not least, why I cried when I played the piano with him at that time.

From that moment on I didn't really care anymore whether he would judge me or feel pity for me. All I know was that the dizziness inside my head were mingled with the pain inside my heart. My throat hurts when I tried to hold back the tears that now already flooding on my cheeks.

He just sat there in front of me as he listened to me. I felt sorry for him for having dragged into my life because I'm pretty sure he didn't want it moreover need it.

I lost my focus and could only bowed my head as I cried since I couldn't managed to say any other words anymore. That was when he cupped his hands on my cheeks and made me looked straight into his face before he pulled me into his embrace.

"It's okay. You deserve to cry, you've been through a lot." He said softly in my ear as I cried on his chest. "And don't you worry cause from now on you have me. You could tell me anything and I will try to help you with all my might." He tightened his arms around me as I hugged him back.

His presence make me feel comfortable. He knew how to make me feel better. I'm not sure if I could thank him enough for what he had done for me.

"Thankyou for listening to me Taehyung." I said before we pulled away from the hug.

I wiped my tears with my sleeves as I painted a smile on my face. I felt glad and was able to forget about my problem for a moment when I saw his face, when I saw his smile.

"Anytime. Feel better?" He said as he flashed his smile at me.

"Yeah, all thanks to you." I said again.

I wasn't sure how many times I thanked him already but I didn't care because I thought that it will never be enough.

"Stop thanking me. It's an honor to have a senior crying in front of her junior, don't you think?" He smiled playfully.

How could this kid became so unpredictable? Like we were in a very serious situation a minute ago and now look at him, playing around with me.

"Bring this things up in school and you'll become a dead meat Kim Taehyung." I snorted as I tried to hold back my laughter while I put my fist right in front of his face playfully.

"Am I being threatened by my seonbae? Should I call the teachers?" He gasped as his jaw dropped slightly, faking a panic face.

I just laughed as I looked at him. He then followed me, showing his unique rectangular smile once again.

"Stop making me laugh, your parents might wake up if I am too loud." I said when I glanced at the clock to found out that it was almost 04.00 am.

"You can be as loud as you want. I live alone." He mumbled as he chuckled.

"Really? Where are your family then if I may ask?" I raised an eyebrow as I looked at him.

"My dad got transferred to Japan a while ago and my mom followed him of course. Since my big brother is in Seoul, my parents told me to move here too cause I refused to come along with them." He said extensively.

"Oh you have a brother?" I asked again.

"Yeah, I do." He nodded. "I think I have his pictures here inside my phone." He added as he grabbed his phone and began scrolling after he unlocked it.
