Shock [BTS X Reader]

Chapter 6: Space

I internally scream at the name written across my screen.

Why is he contacting me? Is he going to insult me again like all of the fake people back in Lakeview?

I unlock my phone to see that he left a voicemail.

Kim Taehyung could have any girl he wants, but he still decides to chase after me?  I think frantically as I step into the crowded elevator.

I throw my shopping bag at the door and quickly walk to my room. I leap onto my bed and listen to the voicemail while laying on my stomach. He starts speaking, and he's already out of breath and I can hear him sniffling intensely.

"Look, (y/n), there's so much I could say to you right now, but I feel it's no way to tell you over the phone. I really hope you had the heart to open this message. You have no idea how sorry I am for what I said. There's no words that could explain how much I'm feeling for what I did to you. I don't know what came over me. I ask that you please meet me back at my place so we can sort this out. I'm praying that you will."

My phone beeps as the voicemail ends. My eyes start to swell and tears trail down my face. I couldn't believe him.

He has the audacity to say such things to me, and come back to me a few hours later, crying his eyes out.

Why do I feel bad?

Why do I want to see him so desperately, and tell him how much I forgive him?

God, what should I do?

I make my decision and sprint out the door.

I wave for a cab and a bright yellow car pulls over. I tell him the address and pass him the money. We both sit in silence until we arrive at Taehyung's house. I thank the driver and walk to Taehyung's porch.

I gently knock on the door and wait unpatiently.

No answer.

I knock again, louder.

As I try to knock again, Taehyung opens the door and immediately hugs me tightly.

Shocked, I pull away.

"Please (y/n) let me talk to you." Taehyung begs with his hands together. I give into his sad, puffy eyes and follow him inside.

*

He sits me down on a chair across from his and he lets out a huge sigh.

"Like I said on the voicemail you apparently received, there's no words to explain how upset I am with myself. Something inside me told me to be jealous of you and Jungkook. And I know exactly what it was." He says as he looks up from his slouch and meets my eyes.

I'm speechless, seems like I've been this way for the past few days to be honest.

"I don't know what to say, Taehyu-"

"I'm not forcing you to give me an answer right now, but I'd like you to know how much I'm attracted to you. I apologize for being so feely right away, but please give me a chance to get to know you."

I weakly smile, not knowing what else to do.

"I'll drive you home if you'd like. It's already 9 pm." Taehyung says.

"I'm not tired yet. Can we watch a movie?" I say, not even realizing what I just did.

His face lights up and he nods excitedly.

"What should we watch?" He says while happily guiding me to the living room.

"Wait, why aren't we going to the theater room?"
