Handsome Hitman ✓ Jikook

Chapter Eight

I held his hand really tightly, not daring to let go. I was too scared to let it go and I was never going to till we got to the store. "Thank you for walking with me today.. it really means a lot you know"

He nodded and laced our fingers together. Pulling me over to walk closer to him and I smiled at that. He always worries about me and wants to take care of me and I'm so happy that he loves me that much.

"Of course. Are you sure you are okay Jiminie? I'm telling you, you could've stayed home today and I would've stayed the night-"

"I know I know I could've stayed home Taehyung, but I don't wanna do that just because that happened that night. Please Taehyung, can you stay the night tonight?"

He whispered under his breath a yes and we made it to my work quickly. I unlocked the door and went inside. Checking the isles, then sitting at the counter. Taehyung already sat at one of the stools and was humming as he was watching the morning news on the small television at the corner of the store.

"Another gang fight.. aish.. that's awful" he mumbled as he looked at me then patted at the stool next to him and told me to come here, which I was going to anyways. I sat my butt down next to him and sighed softly. Rubbing my eyes, he rubbed my back.

What do we do now? Another slow day as far as I could tell. Before I could ask what could we do, he put his phone on the counter leaning against a bottle that was just sitting there then put in earbuds. Turning on a show and handed me one of the pieces.

I thanked him as we started to watch a show together, leaning my head down onto his shoulder.

It was a show about a women that loved this man that she always saw in the streets everywhere she went. One night she's out walking and then runs into someone and the person tries to take her, but the man found her yelling and saved her and after that day, they hung out every day and was falling in love but she just recently found out he was a mafia member but her love doesn't change and never does his. There's a lot of trouble that happens to the girl but the guy protects her and then the guy's brother tries to get with her.

"You like this show don't you?", Taehyung smiled at me.

I smiled back and agreed. I really do love this show. It's so romantic. This guy never gives her up and she never gives him up. It makes me happy there's someone out there like that.

It's been hours since we started watching this show. We were in season two out of five and I heard the bell ring for the seventh time today. I didn't even look up as I kept my eyes on the show.

"No don't leave! Please! I don't want you to get hurt! You can't do this to me! I'll follow you so you won't go!-"

"Hey", I looked up and smiled to see them bright brown eyes I've been wanting to see but they moved away from me and looked towards Taehyung with a confused and not really any emotion expression,"Who's this?"

"Oh Jeon, this is Taehyung. My old roommate and my best friend. I've told you about him before right?"

He just shrugged his shoulders and placed the items down on the counter,"I think so"

I rang up the ideas and then started packing his items into a plastic bag. I felt myself freeze when I felt his hand grab my chin. Raising it to make me look at him. My cheeks warmed up and he turned my head to the side a little.

"Why is there a bandage on your face? Did someone hurt you?", I saw him cut his eyes to Tae then looked away back at me,"No one hurt you right?"

I thought as I looked him in the eyes. Should I tell him what happened? Would he flip out if I told him? I don't want him to do that.

I whispered nothing to him, but he starred me in the eyes. Making me want to confess to him that something did happen. He let go of my face and ruffled my hair. "That's good. I gotta go. See you tomorrow Jimin"

He left before I could tell him by myself which made me sad. He seemed so disturbed. It's not my responsibility to be worried, but I still am.

I felt a hand grab my arm and I turned to Tae who was now staring me in the eyes this time. Oh gosh. Just what I thought. "Tell me everything. Now".

Okay so yeah I never told him anything about Jeon. Not even about the first day we met. The first day we talked. Absolutely nothing about him. Not a hint. No clues.

I started to mess with my fingers in my lap. Gosh, where to start. "His name is Jeon. He's just a customer that comes in here every day and we talk from time to time. Nothing more. I promise you-"

"-he seemed really close to you Jimin. No one just grabs someone's face if they don't know them you know; he doesn't know you-"

I argued,"-yeah he doesn't know me but we've talked so much we know a few things about each other! He was just worried!"

He sighed and rubbed his eye. Putting an eyebud inside his ear and I did the same. He gave up trying to argue with me and I just stayed quiet so I wouldn't push it on.

I few more hours later and I got off work with Taehyung following me at my side back to my house. Hands still interlocked together and this time earbuds in each other's ears. I told him it would be dark when we get off work and he only understood.

When we arrived home I unlocked the door and we went inside like normally; something felt odd. I glanced around the room but saw nothing; till I felt a cold breeze. I looked towards the windows near the front door and saw a slight crack.

I went over and shut it tightly. Pushing the little lock to close it up as well. Did we forget to close it before we left this morning? Why would it be open anyway? It was cold this morning and is now.

"Wanna go to bed already? I'm really tired from work", I smiled,"and from the show, we were watching"

He laughed as he went down the hall and I only followed. Going to my dresser and throwing him a pair of sweatpants. He stripped to his underwear and put the sweats on. Leaving me to change into basketball shorts and a plain light blue shirt. "You like that show so shush"

I only agreed with him and we both got into the bed. Backs against each other. Soft good night whispers. And we fell asleep.
