Serendipity Fate {kth}

Chapter 30

ss that to save lives~

You made the difficult decision of not talking to him even as he carried you like a sack of potatoes outside and down the sand ramp to the beach. This was your third time on this ramp.

If he wanted you to play into his game by forcing you to come with him, he can play as much as he wants to but right now you were set on staying temperamental just to give him a good taste of reality.

Thinks he can carry me out here and I'll magically forget what he said-

You continued to slap his back in a rhythmic way that he almost got used to it.

"Could you stop hitting me? I'm sure you're well aware hitting the same spot over and over is gonna make it hurt by now." His voice was cool and washed with slight nervousness.

"Huh? It hurts? My bad. I thought doing stuff on purpose when we know it's gonna hurt the other person was something we did around here!" The sarcasm dripping from your voice was venomous. Taehyung gulped.

"I deserve that." He placed you down softly, your whole body sliding down his front in a weird intimate sort of way that caught you off guard and made you momentarily think about other things, unsuitable for this circumstance.

Immediately, when your feet touched the ground, you stepped back, away from him so that he couldn't touch you because you knew you'd sway and lose this fragile distance you had created.

"We need to talk," he said. You stared at the ground with your arms folded over.

-Taehyung's POV-

He loved the way your hair blew in the harsh sea wind. Your arms were crossed and he could tell this would be a little difficult but he knew you. He knew that you'd forgive him even after such a short time because he just knew. He could only watch you suck on your bottom lip and cross your arms over when what he wanted most was to be back at the hotel, in the same bed, just hugging, even if it meant nothing to you, it meant a lot to him.

"I um, I don't expect you to say anything or forgive me coz I crossed a line I shouldn't have," he licked his lip, "you got that right," you mumbled.

Fuck.

"But first I want to apologise." You looked up at him. He couldn't hide the happiness he felt when you finally met his eyes. Instantly he put his hands in his pocket and thought that you must be cold too but didn't want to overstep the boundaries making you distance yourself further from him.

This is good, so far.

He told himself over and over that this was the right time and scratched the back of his head.

"I'm sorry for saying what I said coz it's not true and I don't have the place to say such things, I just, I get really protective of you and I don't know why but it happens okay? Yeah, I know you can look after yourself but even just, like this-" he stepped forward and ran his finger over the scar you had on your face even as you flinched a little you didn't move away and that gave him hope. He knew he had a chance to make amends right here.

"I'm an arse at times. I'm not good with words. I'm even rambling on right now," you didn't say anything which made him more nervous but your attention was enough for him to continue, "I'm crazy, I know but I can't deny that I feel like I have to look after you? I don't know. I don't know why I care so much and to be honest I'm not even mad coz it's you so I'm fine with it." He let out a long breath from having spoken so much. He hardly spoke this much to anyone at once.

Your expression hadn't changed much, yet he could see you were softening up. That alone gave him a boost of confidence.

"So, I'm just gonna tell you everything."
