I Need You (Kim Taehyung)

7

It had been a week. I hadn't talked to anyone after what happened on the roof. I didn't talk to Taehyung. I didn't look at him nor did I stay in the same room as him for more than a minute. I avoided him in the school hallways and stayed in my room if he came over. I could tell he wanted to talk but I didn't. I hadn't been able to sleep since he kissed me. He doesn't like me that way.

So why did he kiss me?

"I got three new movies so we're watching those. And if I'm still awake, we'll watch a Nicholas Sparks one." Jaehyun apologized for telling Ahro about Jimin. She claimed to be angry at Jimin and took it up with her. I shouldn't have believed her. She was lying.

I didn't tell her about Taehyung. I had a gut instinct making me feel like I shouldn't. "Are you listening to me?" Jaehyun snaps as I zone out again. I blink repeatedly before looking at her. "Just trying to figure out what food I'm missing at home." I smile forcefully. She nods. "Make sure we have twizzlers." As if I care.

She continued to explain what her movies were about as I continued to ignore. "TaeLyn!" Jungkook called, waving me over to the truck. "I'll see you later alright?" I smiled at Jae as I cut her off from rambling. She nodded and walked away. I sighed, relieved to have piece and quiet. That was until Jungkook mentioned that Taehyung would come with us. I inwardly groaned as he climbed on the truck.

"Finally! Some TaeLyn and Jaehyun time!" I laughed and sat with my legs crossed on the couch, hugging the stuffed duck in my arms. "Jungkook!" I called with a smirk after my parents went to sleep. He was in the kitchen with Taehyung, eating all our food. "Yes, your highness-- What are you wearing!?" His mouth drops open as he looks me up and down. I ignore his question. He won't be here for the rest of the night so there's no worries. "Bring in the food, please." I smiled wide. He glared then walked away. A few minutes later, he brought the bags of food Eomma had put away for me. "Anything else?" I shook my head, becoming indulged in my movie as I sat in the middle of the love seat. Jaehyun sat in the three-seat couch.

"Oh, nice! Edward Scissorhands!" Jungkook's eyes widen in excitement and he jumps into the spot beside me. "Oppa! Get out!" I exclaim, trying to push off his affection. He immediately pulls away and glares at me. "Don't call me that." Jungkook stands and sits next to Jaehyun. "Taehyung! Come watch the movie."

"Jungkook!" He smiles cheekily, "Cover up!" And continues to watch the movie. I scowl at him and and bring my oversized stuffed duck closer, covering my body. Few seconds later, Taehyung walks in, looks around and blushes when he realizes he has to sit next to me. I bring my feet closer to me and let him sit down, butterflies in my stomach when his eyes catch mine.

I couldn't focus the whole night. I kept looking at the beautiful boy next to me, admiring his beautiful physique and how entertained he was by Edward Scissorhands. 

Here comes funny. 

Taehyung and I both squirmed in our seat whenever one of the three movies we watched had a kissing scene. The first one didn't have many. Coincidentally, the second and third were full of them. Friends with Benefits and No Strings Attached. Jaehyun had to choose the cheesiest ones. It's as if life is mocking me. Jungkook's eyes were wide open as they ate face, practically swallowing each other whole. His face contorted into a horrifying one when they didn't stop. "Aish," I mumble, standing up to cover his eyes. "Yah! Noona, stop." He moves away and complains till I use my strength to keep him still.

Jaehyun is still awake by the end of the third movie, so she puts in The Longest Ride. By the time both protagonists meet, Jungkook and Jaehyun are asleep. Not wanting to move from my seat, I stay still and watch the movie with Taehyung who fidgets more than I do. I had fear rising within me every passing minute. If anyone knows Nicholas Sparks movies, you know there's bound to be countless sex scenes present. Speak of the devil. "Oh, no," I whisper inaudibly when Luke walks to Sophia as she undressed in his shower. When Sophia removes Luke's shirt, I look away quickly, deciding to stand up immediately when they get into it. I run from the living room and walk into the kitchen, letting out a deep breath I had taken that somehow became stuck in my throat. "TaeLyn."

Oh no.

I wince inwardly, turning around to meet his eyes. The A/C turns on, making me shiver as the cold air hits my exposed skin. Then I remember what I'm wearing. Why did I choose to wear this? I question myself. I had to wear the shortest pajama shorts that tighten around my thighs and a drawstring holding them to my hips. To top it all off, I'm wearing a camisole that is extremely short on me.

I am such a hoe.

What surprises me is Taehyung removing the shirt he's wearing, pulling it over my head before I can even react. "You really shouldn't wear something that short." I blush and look down at my feet. His shirt ends just below my hips. "Look at me." He whispers, leaning on the counter behind me.  He sighs.  "TaeLyn—"

"Why did you kiss me?" I squeak, gulping down the knot in my throat.

~0~

Taehyung was at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say. He, himself, didn't know why he kissed her. "Because I wanted to." He wasn't lying. He didn't like her that way but he also didn't want to hurt her. She was his best friend's sister and also... she beat up a twig for his sake.

TaeLyn's breath hitched as he got closer to her. "Why are you avoiding me?" She gulped unsure if she should say what she was thinking. Unsure if she should tell him how embarrassed she was to look at him after he stole something from her. Not that she wouldn't have it any other way, she just wished it was under different circumstances. "I was embarrassed," she whispered, a blush rising to her cheeks as she lifted the shirt she wore just to tug on it. Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows. "Why would you be embarrassed? We just... kissed." The word made her stomach curl and flip, warming her body. She didn't want to look up from her feet. If she did, she'd see Taehyung's body on the way and she wasn't ready. But she forced herself to. TaeLyn needed to see how he'd react. "Was it okay?"

Taehyung loved how innocent she was. It's what he admired most about her. She was innocent despite what she'd experience. But he couldn't help but blush at the question. Out of the many girls he kissed, none had ever asked. "I, um... Y-yes," he became shy as he admitted. She wasn't sloppy, eager bore hungry. The kiss was innocent, slow and soft. "W-was I okay?"

Taehyung blushed, the shyness showing in his eyes, causing TaeLyn to smile. "You're cute," she says unwillingly. He laughs lightly as TaeLyn giggles. They both become closer, physically till TaeLyn's head touches Taehyung's shoulder. He wraps his arms around TaeLyn, one around her waist and the other holds his weight against the counter.

"Will you go out with me?"

Who asked who?
