"I started on my way here as soon as I seen your number on my screen" Taehyung panted as he stood at my door, leaning against the doorway.

Beads of sweat dripped from his temples and he caught his breath. I smiled at how worried he was and his eagerness to get here as fast as he could.

"Thanks", I smiled softly. "You know, you didn't have to run over here"

"-YES I did" he snapped as he came in, shutting the door behind him and just flopping his person down on the couch like he owned the place. "Cause you left. Without a trace. Never answered my calls or texts. I thought you were upset at me... Or something really bad happened"

I rubbed the back of my neck as I dragged my feet over to him and sat down next to him.

How do I tell him this? Do I? I really shouldn't, but what would the excuse be? Taehyung can't know that I've been with a hitman. Would he even believe me? Doubt it.

Wait. I have an idea!

"U-Um Tae", he looked me in the eyes as he was drinking from my cup of water I had on the table, "I've... kind of been with someone"

I expected him to choke on the water, or his eyes to get wide, but no reaction. He only nodded as he put the cup onto the table and wiped his mouth with his hand, then wiped his hand onto his pants.

"So you have a boyfriend? Could've just told me instead of hiding" he admitted as he kicked his shoes off then crossed his legs on the couch.

My face felt warm as I touched my cheeks. Am I blushing? For what reason!?

For having the idea that Jungkook is your boyfriend-

Shut up! I groaned as I sat my hands back into my lap.

"I-I wasn't with a boyfriend Tae", I stuttered ,"I was with a friend. That guy that visited the store all the time. His name is Jung-... His name is Kookie"

"Kookie?", he had to hold a laugh,"So you spent time with the strange guy that always dressed in black clothing without a trace, and his name is... Kookie?"

My face was getting more red. Leaning into the corner of the couch I grabbed a sofa pillow and cuddled it. "Yeah so?" I tried to rebuttal.

He shook his head. Sighing he got up and brushed off his pants. Heading into the small kitchen. I raised an eyebrow, tossing the pillow to the other side of the couch and followed him.

The first thing I saw was him in my fridge. I groaned as I leaned against the doorframe. "I don't have food smart one. If your hungry let's go out and just get something"

The talk of getting food made him shut the door and look towards me. His eyes sparkling as he came over and hugged me (squeezed me) from the side.

"Ahhh, I love you" his voice was muffled from being pressed against my bicep. I only laughed as I walked with him clinging to me in the living room.

He finally released me and he stood at the couch as I brushed my shoulder. Laughing at his impatient face cause he wanted to eat so bad.

"Let me change and we'll leave. Give me a second"

Without letting him answer I went to my room and shut the door, even locked it. I got into my closet. It smelled like dust. I pulled a sweater off of a hanger and put it on. Changing into ripped jeans as well after tossing the dirty clothes into the dirty basket to wash later.

I gave my hair a quick check in the bathroom sink mirror and when it was good I made it back to Taehyung. He was standing near the front door staring down at his phone. His thumb scrolling on his phone screen.

"Taehyung-ssi. Come on" I said as I got my wallet and phone. Making sure I grabbed the door keys, he put his phone away and we left.

After about a twenty minute walk we made it to just a fast food joint. Something simple and we didn't have to wait a century or be waited to sit down.

After ordering, we sat down at the tall; bar stool, like table and started eating. I was facing the tv that was against the wall, and watching it as I ate my food.

"Breaking News : a womans body was found shot and lifeless on a balcony of a hotel. The police say it was not a suicide, but a murder. They say this maybe apart of some the mafia gang activity that has been disturbing some areas-"

That's the lady Jungook shot... I watched him shoot... I put my food down after I started to feel sick my stomach. Sipping on my drink Taehyung looked at me a little worried.

"You okay?"

I nodded. I need to change the subject. "Hey Tae, do you know since I've been gone for a while, have I been fired? I want to get to work tomorrow"

He blinked. Laughing softly as he took another bite really quick. "Well- I highly doubt they would fire you. I'm sure you have your job still Jimin-hyung. The only way to find out is to go down there tomorrow and see"

Sighing and seeing the news went off made the sourness in my stomach go back to normal. I finished eating and not long after Taehyung was done with his food as well.

"So hyung, tell me more about this... Kookie guy. What was he like?" he raised an eyebrow. His voice when he asked was so sarcastic it was ridiculous. I couldn't help but smile though. 

"Well", I was sipping on my drink, getting the taste of the food we just enjoyed out of my mouth, "Where do I start?". He only grinned as I shared the equal amount of sarcasticness. "Well... one day when he came into the store, you know the little mask thing he always wore. Never took it off once?" He nodded his head which let me continue. "He took it off one day. He was... Taehyung he was perfect! He has the cutest set of bunny teeth when he smiles, his cheeks are chubby but sculptured and UGH Tae I don't know what to do I'm freaking out!"

Just admit that you like him-

SHUT UP!! I-I don't like him like that!!

"Haha. Are you sure you don't like him more than a friend then?"

I shook my head, "I don't. I really don't. But... He's just so perfect Tae. No flaws. Nothing wrong. Nothing COULD be considered wrong of this person"

Except he kills people for living.

"Hm.. So he took off his mask and then? You got sidetracked talking about his god-like face you know"

My cheeks turned a flushed pink. Pushing my hair from my eyes and sipping on my drink from the straw that was a centimeters from my lips. "We discussed a meeting", here comes the lies so he doesn't freak out ,"The next day we met the small sweet shop down at the corner. The pink building? We met there and... I don't know what came over me Tae. Days passed while I was over at his place hanging out. We were just getting closer and closer-"

"You're a bad liar you know" Taehyung sighed as he got up from the tall table.

I blinked a little as he pushed the chair to the table and walked towards the trash can near the door. What?...

(a/n - literally i tried to stretch out this chapter by making them go out to eat. oops)
