Remember Me? | Kim Taehyung

17

Your POV

I don't remember falling asleep, but I wake up to my phone vibrating on the bed next to me. My eyes, still blurry from sleep are unable to make out the caller ID, so I just answer it.

"Hello?"

I sit up, my eyes now adjusting and scanning my familiar bedroom. The sky outside the window is darkening, and I see Jimin reading in his room.
The line crackles a little bit.

(Hey.)

"Taehyung?"

(Guess again, babe.)

"Oh.. Hey Yoongi."

(I don't suppose you've seen Jungkook anywhere have you? He left my place earlier but never called to say he got home ok, he won't answer his phone and I don't have the house number.)

"No.. I've been asleep."

(Oh, sorry, did I wake you?)

"no it's ok.."

We both pause for a moment.

"Is he ok?" I ask quietly, wondering if Yoongi had heard me over the crackle on the line. I hear him sigh.

(He was a bit of a mess when he put the phone down..)

"Ok.."

More silence for a while.

(Anyways.. If you hear from him let me know, cause I don't think his mum has seen him either and neither has Bangtan. Taehyung went out looking for him and hasn't come back yet so..)

"ok I'll look out for him.. "

(Thanks babe. Goodnight.)

The line goes dead. My heart begins to beat a little faster. I get out of bed and move towards the window, opening it and throwing a small pebble from the sill at Jimin's window. He looks up from his book and smiles, putting it down and opening his window.

"Hey, you alright?" he asks, his expression a little worried as he sees mine.

"Jungkook.. No ones seen him.."

He nods slowly.

"I know.." he says quietly. "But wherever he is, he'll be alright. I know that kid, he can look after himself."
I shake my head.
"That's not it.." I say. Jimin gives me a questioning look. I begin to tell him all about the phone call. He listens intently, his face falling a little and he sighs when I repeat Jungkook's last words on the call.

"Wow.. That's heavy." he says. I gaze up at him again, his brow furrowed in what I can't figure out to be quite frustration or confusion. I open my mouth to say something, but suddenly I hear the doorbell ring. Jimin smiles sympathetically at I stand to greet whoever it is.
The door swings open onto a familiar face.
"Hey."
He looks worn out and seems out of breath, nearly collapsing on me as he steps into the hall.
"Taehyung?"

"I found Jungkook in the park.. He's OK.. I took him home." he says, pulling back from me and smiling. I nod slowly. He follows me to my room and takes a seat on my bed.
"What are you doing here?" I ask, trying not to sound rude. He thinks for a moment before answering.

"I got lost on the way back from Jungkook's house." he says. I nearly snort with laughter.

"Doesn't he live on your street?" I ask, chuckling. He smiles sheepishly and looks down.

"Okayyyy.. You got me.. I wanted to see you." he says, looking up at me, his boxy smile wide. I smile too. He stretches and lies back on my bed, burying his face in my pillow.

"Yah, don't fall asleep!" I say, poking his stomach and he groans. He doesn't move so I continue to poke him, until he suddenly grabs me and pulls me into him, tickling me viciously. I nearly scream, struggling to breathe through my laughter. Finally, he stops, wrapping his arm around my waist and curling up next to me. I smile, kissing his forehead. I see him smile sleepily. I see movement out of the corner of my eye and turn my attention to the window. I see Jimin standing in his room, watching us. He sees me looking and smiles, before closing his curtains.

But the smile seems fake.

I roll to face Taehyung again. He seems so be asleep, so I curl up next to him and drift off as well. I feel an arm wrap around me, but I figure it is part of my dream.

I wake up to my alarm blaring. I groan and open my eyes. Taehyung is no longer beside me. I sit up quickly and start to panic. Was it all a dream? Is Jungkook OK? Where's Taehyung?
I get up and throw may alarm clock across the room, turning back to find a hand written note on the bedside table.

- Morning Jagiya,

I woke up about an hour before your alarm was due to go off, and I decided to go home to get ready for school. I'll come pick you up, don't eat breakfast, I've got it covered.

Love, Tae xx

I smile and calm down a little. I check my phone, finding a few new messages and reminders.

-Suga
Morning babe
Jungkook got back alright, though he seems a little off still, maybe talk to him?

-Chim Chim
Be sensible with Taehyung
Love you xx

I chuckle a little, then read over Yoongi's message again. Maybe I should text Jungkook.. Would he reply? I click on his contact and begin to type, but I dont know what to say. Eventually I hit send.

-Me
Hey Jungkook.. I'm really sorry, I heard you ran off last night and I hope you're alright...

He responds quicker than I expected.

-Kookie
I'm OK.. Don't worry about me.

-Me
I'm sorry.. I didn't know..

-Kookie
No one did. It's fine.

-Me
It's not though, is it?

-Kookie
Just leave it Y/N, be happy and I'll figure it out.

-Me
Maybe we could meet sometime? I'm not leaving you like this..

-Kookie
Maybe you should spend your time with Taehyung.

-Me
Please..

-Kookie
...fine. when and where.

I smile as I give him a time and address, then I put my phone away, and head into the bathroom to get ready.

A little while later, the doorbell rings. I call goodmorning to my brothers as I race down the stars and pull the door open. Taehyung stands before me smiling, with a steaming paper cup in one hand and a paper bag in the other. He gives them to me and leads me down the garden path to an expensive looking white car.

"You can drive?" I ask in awe. He rubs the back of his neck.

"Uhm.. Not really.." he mumbles as he opens the car door for me. I raise my eyebrows at him and he smiles his boxy smile. I chuckle, shaking my head, and get in.
