I Need You (Kim Taehyung)

8

"Jungkook-- Are you serious?!" He quirks his head and looks down my body. "Where are you going?" My mouth drops. I grab the power cord and pull it out of the outlet. Jungkook's eyes widen then cover in anger. "What the hell, Tae--"

"The wedding is in four hours! We're supposed to leave in thirty minutes and you're sitting here as if you're the king of everything!" His eyes widen. "Shit. That's today?" I scoff and smack his arm, shoving him into the bathroom. "Hurry up and you better be out in ten minutes or I'll pull you out of there naked if I have to." He turns around to face me. "B-but my clothes--" I slam the door in his face and rush, barefoot to take out his tuxedo. "Tae--"

"What?!" 

"The water's too hot!" I groan and stomp on the floor like a little girl. "Nevermind," He says, contently. "It's warm now." I groan loudly. "Everything okay here?" I turn to set the tuxedo out on the bed and see my older brother. I sigh in relief. "Thank god you're here. Make sure he's out in ten minutes. I have to finish with my hair." I hug him quickly as I walk past him. "You look beautiful, Tae," he whispers as I pull away. I giggle. "And you look handsome. Now make sure that monkey is ready in ten minutes. Kang is asleep in my room and Eomma asked if we could take the karaoke machine in the garage." He nods and is about to respond to what I said when another voice speaks. If I wasn't already frantic enough and my heart wasn't beating repeatedly, I would've jumped out of my chest at the sight of Taehyung. "Did I miss something?" I sigh. "Please don't tell me he asked you to stay over?" he slowly nods. I close my eyes and try to contain my frustration.

"I'm guessing Taehyung has arrived," he says in an innocent voice as he pokes his head out of the bathroom door when I yell his name. I glare and he smiles. "You look pretty?" I look away from Jungkook and look at Hobi. "Take care of him. I'll see if I can find something for Taehyung in dad's closet." Without thinking, I grab Tae's hand and drag him to my parents closet. I look through the many outfits till I find a tuxedo my dad used for his anniversary party. "This should fit. You and my dad are practically the same. If you need any help, I'll be in my room doing my hair." I paid no attention as I rushed back to my room and dabbed at the beads of sweat on my forehead. I grab the curler and curls the ends of my hair. I pin a few strands and finally put on my heels. "Can you--" Taehyung asks as he walks into the room, holding up the bow tie. I sigh, liping towards him with one heel strapped on. I stand on one foot and stumble slightly, almost falling before Tae grabs my hips and holds me steady. I tense under his touch, butterflies erupting in my stomach. I wrap the fabric around his neck and tie the bow, fixing the crooked angle. "You look beautiful," he comments as I walk to the bed for my right heel. I stop in my steps and smile, looking at my feet. "Did the shoes fit?" I slip on my heel and begin to strap it on. "Yeah. Perfectly."

I make sounds of struggle as I attempt to put on my heel, till I huff and lean back on my hands. Taehyung crouches down and places my foot with the heel and straps it on comfortably. My heartbeat races as his fingertips run around my ankle and his palm rests on my calf, slowly setting my leg down. Kang interrupts my words as he softly cries. "We ready," Hoseok says with Jungkook standing behind him. "Kim Taehyung! Holy sh--"

"Jungkook!" We both exclaim in a whisper as I lift Kang off  my bed and into his baby carrier. Hoseok lifts his hand without hesitation and smacks him upside the head. We all pile into the truck and due to Jungkook calling shotgun, I'm stuck in the backseat between Kang Joon and Taehyun since Hobi is driving. After 10 minutes on the road, I begin to doze off, my head lolling side to side, waking me instantly before I return to the previous actions. "Go to sleep, Tae. I know you've been up since 6 AM." I shake my head, sleepily. Taehyung's eyes cover in concern but says nothing. "I'm fine," I yawn. Beside Hoseok is a sleeping Jungkook with his mouth parted and soft snores. He and I helped Dads' pack up the decorations Eomma made, along with a few other things. Took us almost all morning. We didn't have time to sleep because Kang Joon woke up and we had clean the house. I finally listen to Hobi and lean my head back Instantly falling asleep. I feel my head swaying slowly from side to side, but being unconscious, I just resume my sleep. Finally, a pressure pushes me to rest on their shoulder and I immediately cling onto them, wrapping my arms around one of theirs.

Taehyung couldn't help himself when he rested her head on his shoulder. He blushed furiously when she became comfortable, hugging his arm and right hand settling on her bare knee unwillingly. Tae observed her as she slept, taking in TaeLyn's every feature. Looking closely, anyone could see the resemblance between her, Jungkook and their older brother Hoseok. He'd never been this close to notice she had defined cheek bones, Hoseok's cutely-shaped nose, Jungkook's eye shape and jawline. The one feature she had that no one else had, was her lips. They were soft, pink, with one voluminous bottom lip accenting her thin top lip. Anyone would think she was perfect but he knew she thought differently. To him, she was more insecure than anyone he knew. 

Hoseok's lips twitched upwards as he glanced in the rearview mirror. "She likes you, ya know? Since the first day she saw you." Taehyung lifted his eyes off  TaeLyn's features and looked at Hoseok for a second before focusing on her again. He nods. "Do you?" Taehyung didn't know. He just had this feeling that he should be with her. After everything she's said and done, TaeLyn deserved to be beside Taehyung. He sighed, deciding not to answer. "Don't hurt her, Tae." Hoseok loved his little sister. She was somebody very important to him. He's always trusted Taehyung... just not with his sister's heart. He knows how this would end. The concerned older brother hoped the situation wouldn't turn out the way he was thinking. "I hope I don't," Taehyung whispered with a fond look towards TaeLyn.

Don't Let Me Hurt You.
