Raechan POV

"hey," i whispered to taehyung. "pass me the popcorn."

"okay." he replied monotonously, handing over the popcorn without further arguements.

for some time now, taehyung has been acting kind of strange around me all of a sudden.

he isn't the same eager person as he was before and its starting to scare me.

he doesnt even want to hug me or cuddle with me anymore.

its sort of making me think that he knows about me liking him.

i try not to make it seem obvious, but i guess it's starting to show and now he's beginning to back away from me.

now im starting to question am i that ugly??

im also starting to question our friendship.

but i put everything aside and asked him to join me to a movie today after school.

i thought maybe he'd see it as a friendly gesture of mine, and not too friendly ya know?

we were watching "valerian and the city of a thousand planets" and taehyung seemed to be extremely interested.

maybe i picked the right movie to grab his attention?
i don't know.

i popped some popcorn in my mouth and looked at taehyung's hand that rested on the arm rest besides mine.

i want to hold it.

but he'd see it as weird and would think i wanted to date him.

and i don't want that.

maybe i should do it in a friendly manner..

i slowly sneaked my hand near his, as it traveled from my leg, to the arm rest, and nearly a centimeter away from his hand.

just hold it..

i pushed myself into grabbing his hand and holding it there, while laughing along at the movie.

taehyung didn't react, he just sat there and laughed as well.

on second thought, does he like me back??

it wasn't confirmed until he squeezed my hand and rubbed it with his thumb before he kissed it.

my heart fluttered a million times as i switched my eyes from the movie to his.

his daring eyes gleamed back at me like they wanted something.

his eyebrow jumped up twice, a common signal of i like you.

i immediately looked away from him and at the movie.

why was he doing this?

my heart cant take it.

i stood up.

"i-im going to the bathroom, ill be back."
