Taehyung's point of view

I can't stop thinking about everything she has done for me until now.

My parents, the photos, the thoughtful letters....everything.

I'm so thankful to have her as a close friend.

But I can't deny to myself that she means more than that to me.

I care for her, a lot and I was so close to telling her about how I feel, but I'm afraid.

Afraid that it will change something between us if she doesn't feel the same way.

Like what happened between me and Jenna.

[AN: Jenna is that girl from chapter 5, the one who left him because he loved her]

I don't want to lose her.

Ever.

"Taehyung" Mina waved her hands at my face, snapping me back to reality.

I averted my eyes and gazed at her, admiring her alluring dark brown eyes.

"You've been spacing out for the last 10 minutes, are you okay?"

"Yeah, do we have everything now?" I asked her as I checked the cart.

"Pretty much, we just have to get some flour and we're done" She said while checking my mom's grocery list.

We went to the baking section and grabbed a bag of flour before heading to the cashier.

I paid for the groceries and held the 5 bags to my car.

"Hey these are too heavy let me help" Mina rushed to my side and tried taking one.

"Are you implying that I'm not strong enough" I stated sarcastically, earning a giggle from her.

End of Tae's p.o.v

We drove off home and helped his mom arrange all the groceries because she was too busy making dinner.

"So Mina, tell me more about yourself" His mom said as she continued on chopping the vegetables.

"Well, I'm 19 years old, I am the only child in my family and I love sunsets"

Both Taehyung and his mom chuckled lightly at me.

Did I say something wrong?

"You're so cute" Taehyung whispered underneath his breath but I still heard.

Did he just call me cute?

"Taehyung, how old are you?" I asked randomly as I thought about how I never asked him about his age.

"Wow, you really don't know?" He sounded offended more than surprised.

"Well I'm guessing you're like as old as I am? I'm turning 20 in a month" I shrugged and helped set the table.

"I'm 22"

"Two years isn't a lot"

"For what?" He smirked playfully as I hit his shoulder.

"Dinner is ready, oh you set the table already" His mom turned to me.

"Yeah, I hope you don't mind" I looked down, a bit nervous that she might think I'm intruding or something.

"Of course I don't, thank you" I sighed in relief and smiled back at her.

We all then sat around the table, Taehyung and I sitting across of his parents.

I thanked his mom before scooping a bit of food and taking a bite of the meat.

"It's delicious" I awed in surprise.

It was as good as my mom's food and I personally don't really like other people's food.

But this was really tasty.

"Glad you liked it" She smiles and scoops food to Taehyung.

"How did you two meet?" His dad asked as he took a sip of his drink.

Taehyung and I l looked at each other and chuckled.

We can't say that we met at a party where Lena and I asked them to but liquor for us.

"We met at the university, she's in my Psychology class" Taehyung said after wiping his mouth with a napkin.

"I see"

We all became quiet for a few minutes.

"How long are you staying?" Taehyung broke the silence and looked over at his parents.

"A week, we need to go back to work, you know that son"

I could see a hint of disappointment yet understanding in Taehyung's eyes.

We had this week off so Taehyung was able to hang out with his family as much as he wants.

We finished our food and I helped his mom clean up the dishes.

"It was such a pleasure to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Kim" I bid both of his parents goodbye as they then went upstairs.

"You're leaving?" Taehyung pouted like a child as I was wearing my shoes.

"Yes, now you should have some quality time with your family, see you in a week" I opened the door, about to go out.

But he grabbed my wrist and stopped me.

"You're still going to come with us sometimes, my parents loved you!"

"Okay, until then, goodnight Tae" I waved my hand and got inside the car.

"What a day" I sighed, feeling proud of how much I accomplished today.

But most importantly, Taehyung's happy now.
