Apartment Hauntings| Kim Taehyung x Reader

Chapter 7

[Reader's POV]

Jimin and I walk through the door expecting to hear yelling coming from the three boys but end up walking into a quiet house.

"Weird...they aren't screaming at each other." Jimin comments.

Hoseok walks out of one of the guest rooms and smiles towards his. "Where is everybody?" I ask.

"Jungkook is in his room and Taehyung disappeared somewhere." He says making my eyes widen.

"What? Why did you let him leave on his own? What if he's- oh my god." I pace back and forth while mumbling to myself.

Jimin grabs my shoulders and holds me into place. "It'll be fine. Taehyung is a big boy, he can take care of himself." Jimin says making me sigh.

"Jimin you don't understand, he doesn't do well on his own." Jimin brings me into a hug and holds my head on his shoulder.

"It'll be okay, he'll be back soon." Jimin rubs my back to calm me down.

Jungkook sighs and walks over to us. "Has Taehyung told you?" He asks.

I back away from the hug and look at Jungkook while Jimin turned to Jungkook and gives him a look. "Now isn't the time Jungkook." Jimin says through gritted teeth.

"Not the time for what?" I turn my attention towards the door and smile in relief when Taehyung had suddenly appeared.

"Thank god you're here." I wrap my arms around Taehyung who stumbles back in surprise.

Taehyung chuckles and returns the hug, Jungkook eyeing him from behind. "You need something Jungkook?" He asks.

"You have something to say Taehyung?" Jungkook retorts. I could feel Taehyung start to get angry so I softly smack his back, calming him down.

I let go of the hug and clear my throat. "I'm going to unpack a few things, you can come with Taehyung if you want." I say. I walk away for my room and Taehyung follows short behind.

There was someting they were hiding from me, just because I didn't ask about it doesn't mean it's completely left my mind.

Jungkook and Taehyung had eyed each other intensely. It felt like I was between two bulls that were about to charge.

I grab my bag that was set on the floor and began unloading. Taehyung throws himself on my bed and sighs. "I'm sorry I left," Taehyung starts. "I shouldn't have, you seemed worried and I-"

"Taehyung, not to sound rude but shut up," I chuckle and Taehyung looks up at me. "Of course I was worried, I know how you get when you're alone. Next time tell me okay?" Taehyung nods his head.

I grab my night clothes and leave for the bathroom to change. Before I could put my shorts on, I hear Taehyung from outside the door, talking to someone.

I lean my ear up against the door to get a better listen. It probably isn't good that I'm eavesdropping but I couldn't help myself...

"Where'd you go?" It sounded like Jimin but then again it could be any one of the boys that were in the house.

Taehyung shuffles around in the bed before answering. "Where I always go to think things through," He answers. "And if you're going to ask me if I'm going to tell her, save your breath because I'm not."

"Why? It's better if she-"

"I like her too much to tell her, what if she leaves me? I can't go another four years alone Jimin, I just can't." Taehyung whispers the last part.

I cover my mouth in shock. He likes me? Or is it someone else?

Y/n you dumb bitch of course its you!

A tear runs down my cheek. I wasn't crying over the fact that he likes me, I'm crying over the fact that he was alone for four years. Who would leave a sweetheart like him?

"Y/n are you okay in there?" Taehyung asks. I could hear the bedroom door shut indicating Jimin had left. "You've been in there for over fifteen minutes." He chuckles.

I shake my head and wipe my eyes and nose before quickly changing the rest of my clothing and walking out, a smile on my face. "I'm fine, are you okay?" I ask sitting next to him on the bed.

Taehyung nods his head with a smile on his face. "Just thinking." He says.

I stare at him with curiosity. What isn't he telling me? Is it something I don't want to know?

"Y/n?" Taehyung waves his hand in front of my face and laughs. "Are you sure you're okay? You keep spacing out."

I sigh and shake my head. "Not really, just tired I guess." I lie. Taehyung hops off the bed and comes around to my side. "What are you doing?" I laugh.

Taehyung wraps his arms around my waist, picking me up and laying down behind me. "Going to bed, what did you think I was going to do?"

I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know, use your ghosty powers to kill me." I say.

Taehyung slaps my arm making me laugh. "Just go to bed before I actually use my 'ghosty powers'." I shake my head and shut the lights off in the room.

Hours pass of silence. Taehyung seemed to be asleep, with his arms still wrapped around me, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

It would be one thing to lie about me not liking Taehyung's arms around me but to be honest, it felt comforting. Surprisingly his arms were warm considering he's a ghost and that he could actually touch me.

"Why are you still awake?" Taehyung whispers making me jump in fright. "I thought I said to go to sleep?"

I roll over and face him, our noses touching and his hand on the small of my back. "I'm not tired," I whisper back with a strong stare. Taehyung stared back with the same strong stare, but somehow even more powerful. "Why are we staring at each other?" I ask.

"Shush, I'm debating if you'll hate me for what I'm about to do." He says and I raise my brow.

"Tae I would never hate you, what were you going to-"

Taehyung cuts me off by placing his cold lips on mine.
