Lost Memories (Taehyung x Jennie) [The Final Book]

◆ Fifty ◆

Tomorrow came...
We're back to our dorm since last night...
And now, Jennie's cooking for me.

I went to the kitchen after taking a bath...
And there she is...still cooking.
Wearing a white apron, hair tied like a bun.

I took a minute of gaze behind...
Not a far from her, maybe fifteen steps away.

I can't stop myself from smiling...
Just seeing her like this makes my heart flatter.

And I can't stop to watch her...
I can't stop looking at her, looking how huggable she is...

I leaned my body to the wall...
While watching her.

She tasted the dish she's cooking...
And I can't stop but to chuckle...
There, she heard me.

She turned around and saw me...

"You're there. Since when?"
           She turned her back as she saw that it was me and put her attention to what she's chopping earlier.

I walked towards her...
And gave her a back hug.
Her body is warm...
As always and expected.

"A minute ago."
             I answered closing my eyes while hugging her.

She didn't speak after that...
She focused on chopping some vegetables.
But I didn't let her go, I just hugged her.

But for few seconds...

"Ah, ssss."
          She hissed...

I opened my eyes and saw that she cutted herself accidentally.

I held her hand and checked it...
Then as I saw that blood is pouring down, I pulled her immediately to the sink with is just next to where we are.

I held her hand...
Not letting it go whole we both rinsed it with the flowing water.

"You should be careful."
         I commanded.

She didn't respond and just watched her finger that is being rinsed on the water.

I grabbed a clean towel and dried her hand, we both looked at it if it's still bleeding and it's not.

"I'll continue cooking."
          She smiled and made her way back to the caserole.

"I love you, Jennie."

I don't what gotten into me but these words suddenly poped out from my mind.

"Jennie..."
          She tilted her head to look at me, then back to the caserole.

"Mm?"
         She hummed.

"I love you."
          It's a but of sudden and unexpected but I wanted to say it.

"I love you too."
         She answered, not facing me.

Then, I hugged her again...

"Why do I feel something's strange again?"

As I hugged her...
I can feel something's strange...
I felt nervousness entering my body...

"What's with me?"

I opened my eyes...
And grabbed Jennie by her waist and span her to face me.

She looked at me confused...

"Tae, I'm cooking."
           She's telling me to let her go since she's cooking...

But as of this moment, I don't care about the dish.

"I can feel that you're hiding something...
Cause it is really stranger."

I gazed to her eyes...
Which is looking at min straightly.

"You're good at hiding...
I still can remember that time when you suddenly left...leaving me with a clueless life. And you left because you're afraid that I would suffer undee your parents and Eun Woo's hands."

But...

"Tae, hold on."
           She pulled herself and faced the stove again.

The dish is going to burn...
And she turned off the stove.

And just after that...

"Annyeong!"
         Our members came.

"What's up?"
         Jin asked sitting on his seat on the dinning area.

"I cooked already, we may eat now."
          Jennie answred and brought the dish then placed it right on the center of the table.

I just watched her...
Until...

"Tae, aren't you going to eat? Why are you still standing there? Sit beside me."
           She invited me.

"What is it, Jennie?

I can sense something."

I acted like nothing's in my mind while we are eating...

But I am actually thinking about her...
And that strange feeling I can sense.

"I can't ask you...
I kmow you'll lie if I ever did."

I thought...
For the passed minutes, that's the only thing that is on my mind. Until we are back to our rooms.

Jennie's fixing her bed.
While me, I'm watching her while sitting on my bed...still thinking about it.

"I can't determine it...
Can't you just tell me? Can't someone just tell me?"

I really wanted to ask...
But she would just lie on me.

I watched her finished fixing her bed.
She looked at the mirror and brushed uo her hair with her fingers. Sexy, she is.

"You're still looking at me like that. You've been like that since you came to the kitchen, what's wrong?"
          Then, she noticed me watching her.
And then she began to ask, as if I'm thinking something that's not existing.

"Nothing's wrong. I just love watching you."
          I answered, both a lie and a fact.
Which is a lie? When I answered that nothing is wrong. The fact is that, I really do love to watch her.

I can literally watch her all day.

"Really? But isn't it better if you'll hug me or kiss me?"
           She squinted her eyes and I cuuckled with her words, she's requesting it, I know.

I stood up and walked to her direction...
I held her waist...and she wrapped her arms on my shoulder...

I kissed her...
Without any doubts.

"I wish I'm just overthinking..."
