10 - New Friends

"Taehyung?" Sumin gulped and stared up at the boy whom she bumped into.

"Why are you crying?" He asked her and wiped the tears away from her cheek. The girl hid her face and dried her cheeks, trying to act like nothing happened. Taehyung smiled sadly at her when she faked a chuckle.

"I'm not crying. I'm fine." She still couldn't look up to him and Taehyung decided to step forward, leaning closer to her face.

"That explains why your eyes are completely red." He held her chin up and bit on his lower lip, trying to figure out why Sumin cried. "But you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"No, it's just... I had a rough day." The girl smiled sadly.

Taehyung pouted and noticed that Sumin wanted to talk about it but it wasn't the right place to open up, so he grabbed her hand and pulled her into their dressing room which made Sumin nervous. The large room was empty, only a couple of bags were lying around and on the tables were a few make-up equipments. 

Taehyung walked further into the room and took off his denim jacket which seemed suffocate him. "You can talk to me, it's not like that I would tell someone." He chuckled and sat on the chair in front of the mirror.

"Don't you have to be on the stage?" Sumin chuckled and walked to his right side, sitting down next to him.

"No, I'm actually here because of a member of our group. He's the MC for today." Taehyung turned towards her and noticed that she was giving in. He smiled friendly and handed her a water bottle. "So, drink and tell me why you had a rough day."

After Sumin gulped down the cold water, she told Taehyung about her friends and that Hyerin spotted her with someone who's known well, of course she didn't tell him that it was Baekhyun since Sumin didn't want everyone to know that she liked him.

Taehyung listened to her carefully and bit down on his lip as he got more confused about the story. He understood that Sumin didn't want to tell him the name of the boy, but he already had a feeling that it must be Baekhyun. The party, the way she danced with him on that day, everything was clear to him.

"And who is that guy?" The boy asked her and grinned lightly, trying to get more informations out of her.

"You don't know him." Sumin mumbled and scratched her head while she avoided his eyes.

"Are you sure? It sounds like I know him." He tapped his finger on his chin, acting like he's thinking about the person Sumin was talking about. "Is it Chanyeol Hyung?"

Sumin laughed out loudly and threw her head back. She would never go out with someone like Chanyeol, not that he wasn't her type, but he was more like family to her. "He's like my older brother. I could never date him." Sumin pulled a disgusted face and shook her head at the imagination.

"Then it must be Baekhyun."

Sumin stood still, her face turned to her left side to stare at his eyes directly. A gulp could be heard which came out of the girls' mouth and Taehyung knew that he broke the ice. "N-no!" He laughed at her answer. He leaned closer and patted her shoulder making sure it's okay and that he wouldn't tell someone else about her little secret.

"You should stop lying, you're not good at it." Taehyung grinned and stood up when he saw someone walking into the room.

"Okay, I'm done for today. We can leav- Oh, who's that?" He walked closer to Taehyung and looked down at the girl.

"This is Ahn Sumin, she's working as a make-up artist." Sumin bowed her head lightly when she noticed how the younger boy stared at her curiously. His eyes were shining and his shy smile made him look even cuter.
