"please... seonsaengnim... don't leave me." she held his shirt tightly between her hands, taehyung grabbed one in his and shook his head.

he didn't know what he was doing but he followed his heart in that moment. "aniya... i won't." he simply said, caressing her hand.

she smiled softly as she looked into his dark eyes but then her expression changed. her arcades indicated taehyung that she needed a bathroom. he quickly carried her bridal style again, that time towards the bathroom. 

he approached her towards the toilet and held her hair as she threw up. ashamed she quickly pushed taehyung softly. "don't look at me." but taehyung couldn't care less about any of it.

he knew it was a normal thing and that it could happen to anyone. "aniya... gwenchana?" he asked her, she just nodded. he grabbed a towel and cleaned her cheeks and lips. she stared at him as his big but soft hands cleaned her lips.

she thought he was not only stunning but also generous. she couldn't even think a person besides her mom, who would do that for her, and yet there he was, doing it for her, not minding the awful smell of the vomit or the fact that she was soaking wet, he just helped her with all the will in the world.

"gwenchana." she simply said pushing away the towel and staring into his eyes. taehyung swallowed hard and quickly stood from ground, breaking the space between the two. she followed him with her eyes and noticed how he put the towel in a basket and brought a couple more towards her.

"here... you can take a bath by yourself, right?" he asked, she hesitated a bit. she wasn't sure if she could do it since she felt weak but she also couldn't imagine kim taehyung helping her to get a bath so she just nodded.

"arasseo... i'll get you some fresh clothes. i need those you're wearing, i am going to wash them." he said giving her a small basket for her to put the clothes there. she just nodded and looked at him with big eyes.

"i'll be right here, behind the door." he said with a reassuring look. she knew he probably lived alone, and she also knew he will be there no matter what, so she didn't feel nervous anymore, instead she just nodded, giving taehyung a green light for him to leave the bathroom.

he walked out and stood in front of the door, patiently as he waited for the basket with the dirty clothes. he moved his leg rhythmically and finally after a few seconds, the door opened and she popped her hand out of the bathroom, with the basket.

"arasseo... i'll be back in a few." he said as he walked out of the room and finally closed the door. he sighed in relief and rested his forehead on the white door. his heart racing like crazy. 

having her inside his house surely made him feel uneasy. even if she confessed that evening and even if he couldn't say anything back, he did feel the same way as she did and having her behind that door just made him feel even more nervous.

he took the dirty clothes to the washing machine and walked towards his wardrobe to take some fresh clothes for her. after he picked a white t-shirt and a dark green pajama pants, he folded them and walked towards the bathroom door. he stood there a few seconds, unsure of how to proceed.

the water stream stopped and then he knew she had probably finished her bath. he cleared his throat and finally knocked on the door. 

"ne." he heard her voice from the other side. "uh... i have your clothes here, i'll just leave them here behind the door... you can get them whenever you want. i'll be in the living room." he said putting the clothes on the floor and quickly running out of the room.
