Chapter 9: Hello?

Taehyung POV

"When are you going to come back here?" Jimin asks, with a concerned voice as we were talking through the phone. "Soon, I'll just settle a few things and I'll be back there." I reply, "Have you met anyone there?"  Jimin asks, "Yeah, a few friends fr-" Jimin cuts me off and says, "No. I mean like a girlfriend or something." Jimin chuckles, Jennie comes on to my mind, "Ohh, I see you've met one." Jimin laughs at my silent response. "Actually Jimin hyung, how to ask a girl out?" I shyly ask, "Since you asked, I think it's up to you to ask her out, just make sure she likes you back." He says, "-and be good to her." He adds. "Thanks hyung." I reply, "No problem." He says, then an awkward silence was followed. "Its been years since you went there." Jimin breaks the silence. "It's been what- 3 years?" I chuckled, "Well, It won't take any longer now" Jimin sighs with relief. "But how about the girl you plan to ask out?" He asks.

Jennie POV

It was the day after the 25th and I attended school. "Lisa!" I ran to her with my arms open. "Woah, what happened?" She asks surprised. I whispered to her what happened. She smiles and jumps in excitement. We calmed down after, but we still shared a few laughs. "Did he ask you?" She asks, "No." She sighs and says, "He could've though." After a long silence Lisa comes up with a conclusion, "For a professor he's a little dumb."

The day ended and walked home. "Oh, Jennie." I was surprised with my mom who greeted me with a loud voice. At this point I just want to rest. I slowly close the door, whilst my parents were sitting at the couch. I carefully sat down beside them. "Taehyung came over awhile ago." My dad said, and I didn't speak any word. "He asked us if he you would like it if he courted you." He said, picking up the cup of coffee on the table then taking a sip. Their expression was intimidating, almost angry. I nervously looked down at my fingers, playing with them restlessly. "Jennie." I jump at the sudden call of my name. "What do you think?" My mother asked with a kind(?) voice. "Uh," I clutched on the hem of my skirt. "I think so." Upon saying those words, my father smiled and said, "Don't hesitate. Taehyung is a good person." He laughs, "Even after what happened last night." My mother looks away, "Do you really think we'll just ignore that." It seemed like my mother was stricter than my father. My dad nudges her at the arm. He whispers to her, "She doesn't want to talk about it." It was almost like he wanted me to hear it. I sighed and said, "What did you do?" They just smiled, "You'll know." After that I walked upstairs confused and curious. My sister approaches me and says, "Yie, Taehyung likes you." She tickles me at the side, we both laugh then I later entered my room. I sat on my bed and later realized that he'll be turning 26 this Saturday. Time quickly came by really fast, I remember seeing him for the first time, and now its his 26th birthday. I chuckled at the thought and that he should be married by now. Suddenly, my phone rang, expecting Lisa. I pulled my phone out of my pocket.

"TaEhYUnG" The screen read.

I picket it up and Taehyung greeted, "Hi." He sweetly said as I was speechless. "Hello?" He asked again, "Hi." I immediately replied and he chuckles, "How are you?" He said, "I'm good." I bit my lip in anticipation, He then said, "I actually wanted to ask you something." He said, with a soft voice. "What is it?" I asked, "Will you go out with me?" A long pause was followed and he says, "You don't ha-" I interrupted him and said, "Sure." I smiled and he was happy. We had a conversation afterwards. I then looked at the time and realized how long we've talked. He yawned and I called out his name, "Taehyung?" He didn't respond. I smiled and ended the call.
