"Uhm," I slowly opened my eyes and realised I was being carried. "Where am I?" The smell of this person's musky scent got me frozen. I knew exactly who they belonged to.

"Just go back to sleep," Taehyung whispered.

My legs were wrapped around his torso as he was giving me a piggy back ride. Embarrassed; I loosen up my arms around his neck. "You can put me down, Taehyung. I must be heavyㅡ"

"Just shut up and hold tight," he cut me off. Once we reached the bus station, he placed me down and sat down next to me.

"Thank you," I muttered. My phone suddenly rang and quickly, I picked it up.

"Chaewon, sweetheart, where are you? It's already past eight."

"Ah, I'm running late, eomma. I was at the library. I'll be home inㅡ" I checked my watch and continued,"ㅡ eight forty-five maybe?"

"Hmm.. alright. Be safe."

I ended the call and slid my phone in my pocket. "Sorry I didn't wake you up," Taehyung voiced out. "Your mom must've been worried about you."

"My mom is always worried about me," I chuckled. He lowered his gaze, fiddling with his fingers. I tilted my head and faced him, my lips pursed as I placed my chin on my palm. "Hey."

He glanced at me and gave me that deep, beautiful eyes. "Hm?"

"You miss her, don't you?" I ignored his gaze and averted my eyes elsewhere. "Your mom, I mean." There was a long pause until he broke the silence atmosphere.

"She passed away early last year," he mumbled. "Sometimes, I wonder if my dad even care about her death." I understood why he fell quietㅡ opening up to someone you don't know much of; is pretty hard and uncomfortable.

"I too miss someone." At the corner of my eyes, I realised Taehyung was now focusing on me. I didn't feel like telling him the story. Instead, I plastered on a smile. "Thanks."

"For what?"

"For keeping your promise."
