Ugly Duckling - Taehyung Fanfiction

Still Listening

Taylor's POV

I yawned and snuggled into his neck a bit more before falling into a light sleep. Every time I pass out I get sleepy. 

After a little while, I heard voices but stayed still to try and get back to sleep. Nope. I listened to their conversation for a little bit.  

"So this sleeping beauty is who you've been hanging around with for the past two weeks?" One spoke. I felt Tae nod. "And you lied to her?"

"Yes, now can we let it go?" Tae spoke, annoyed with himself. 

"Why though?" 

"She was talking about us and I didn't want to surprise her, besides I really like her, so if she didn't know I could see what she's like, not this fan trying to get me to sign things. That's not what a relationship is, right?"

"Right, but you still took advantage of her disability."

"I know, and it's not like I enjoyed lying to her, I hated it." I felt so stupid but bad for Tae. He did do what he thought was right, and besides, I would have screamed had he just said, "Hi! I'm from BTS." Anyone would have. 

The car went over a bump and it jolted me awake.. well, more than I was already. I sighed, leaned back and ran my hand through my hair, taking a few deep breaths. I knew Tae was to my right, and someone was to my left, and the driver and passenger in the front.  Then 3 seats behind us. Something like that. Voices were talking to me but I shut them out. I'm in a car, full of strangers (mostly) and I'm just a vulnerable girl, innocent and has no clue where she is. Great. 

"Taylor, are you listening?" Tae queried. 

"Now I am," I replied. 

Tae started to talk about how sorry he was and that he shouldn't have done it. I just sat there, taking it all in. Speechless. My emotions stayed hidden and I sat there, glum-faced. Then, as if the penny had finally dropped, I mumbled under my breath,

"Ho-ly.. s***, I'm in a car with BT-freaking-S." Someone chuckled at what I had just said, I guessed RM. I hugged Tae, he put his hand on my shoulder and pulled me in closer. The car was silent, other than someone humming. I paused, it wasn't someone humming, it was my phone vibrating in my pocket, I grabbed it and answered. 

"TAYLOR KNIGHT YOU ARE ON THE NEWS, YOUR  BOYFRIEND IS IN YOUR FAVOURITE BAND AND I THINK IM HAVING AN ATTACK OF SOME SORT." I pulled the phone away from my ear, the deafening shrieks of Nicole were giving me a headache.

"I know Nic, I'm in the car with them.." I said rubbing my temples, getting slightly annoyed by the noise she was making. 

"IM LITERALLY WATCHING YOU NOW ON THE NEWS." 

"wait.. what?" 

"O-M-L YOU PASSED OUT, ARE YOU OKAY?"

"with you screaming I'm not." 

"right.. look I gotta go, but please be safe, I'm in the middle of my shift."

"don't work too hard, love you"

"Love you too, and don't pass out again!"

"I'll try." and with that, I ended the call. I  put the phone under my arm and my fingers on my lips, thinking things through. 

Tae's POV

Tay put her phone to her ear, I could hear her friend screaming down the phone. I looked up, Yoongi twisted around in his seat looking at Tay's phone. He raised an eyebrow and I grinned, trying not to laugh. I felt a tap, it was Jungkook, 'what do we do?'  he mouthed.  I raised my shoulders 'I don't know.' He leaned back into his seat and snickered a little bit. Taylor ended the call then folded her arms. She was deep in thought. 

"You okay?" I asked her she nodded ever so slightly. 

"So Taylor, Tae tells us you're a big fan of us?" Jimin spoke, poorly I might add. Like a switch, a wide smile spread across her face. 

"Yeah, have been for a while now." She confidently stated. I looked at her confused about her sudden change of personality, I think everyone was. 

"Cool.." Jimin smirked, "Who's your favorite?" She bit her lip,

"Still hasn't changed." She smiled, reaching up to my hair, and messing it up. "The one guy I can't stay mad at."

"Hey!" I playfully yelled. She laughed slightly, showing her pearled teeth. 

This is cringy as. Help. Will be probably posting later :)
