2014
It was raining that saturday night. Taehyung and juhyun were sitting together on the couch. Sharing one fluffy purple blanket with each hands holding a mug of hot chocolate made by juhyun.
It was raining that saturday night. There's nothing much they can do other than studying. But it's weekend, studying is the last thing they'd do. So they decided to have a movie marathon instead. Of course, in her room.
"Hey tae.." she said softly to gain taehyung's attention.
"Hmm?" he hummed in reply with eyes still on the screen.
"Don't you think every villains in the story are actually wasting their life?" she said.
"What??" he replied with both eyebrows raised facing her, giving her a questioned look.
"I mean... why would you waste your time on hating and hurting people??" she said, smiling but rather painfully.
"there are a lot of things you can do with those time actually.. like traveling, learning new things, making friends.. wont they'll be happier that way.. hating is tiring.. it'll only make you sad.. if i have those time in my hands, I'd spend it all with the people i love.."
Like you...
Taehyung was confused by the unexpected question. "Why so sudden hyun-ah??" he chuckled.
He thought she was cute that way. Lost in her train of random thoughts. He noticed she'd do it once in while. Mostly when they were watching movies.
"nothing... forget what i said.. i was just rambling", she said looking back to the screen.
"if you say so.."
•
"hyun-ah.."
"hyun??" he tapped on her shoulders lightly.
The movie just ended when he realised that she has been sleeping with head leaning on the couch. He tried to wake her up so she could sleep on the bed before he went back to his room.
"hyun-ah~~" he shook her a little harder this time. "go sleep on your bed. you'll hurt your neck if you sleep like this."
She hummed in response with eyes still closed. She was too tired to move. She just want to sleep there on the couch.
"well.. you don't give me much choice" he said.
The next thing she realised, she was floating. Her body felt so light and her feet was dangling mid air. Feeling shocked she opened her heavy eyelids wide enough only to see taehyung's face was so close to hers. He was carrying her bridal style. She could even feel his breath on her face.
"tae!!! what are you doing!! l-let me go!!! she yelled struggling in his hold.
"stay still you'll fall", he said. Still using his strength to carry her to the bed.
Her face was burning with the sudden closeness. She cant deny she do like it this way but they were best friends. None of this is right. He put her down gently then pulled her purple blanket up to cover her petite body.
She looked away immediately not wanting to meet his eyes. She was embarrassed to be honest.
Oh my gosh what if he think that im heavy??
Im heavy oh no this is so embarrassing!!!
Taehyung was about to leave when she mumbled a thanks loud enough for him to hear.
He smiled before turning his feet towards the window. His very own door to go inside out of her room.
"Wait!". Suddenly he felt a tugged on his sleeve.
"Do you want to sleep here instead. It's still raining outside.." she said.
It was not her intention to take advantage of the situation. She just felt it was the right thing to do. It is still raining outside. And there was no bridges or road shaded by the roof connected between their dorms. He would be drenched by the rain if ge went back now. He didn't even bring an umbrella.
"S-sure" he said scratching his hair. "If you don't mind" he stilled an awkward laugh.
He lied down next to her carefully still keeping a distance. He didn't want to make her felt uncomfortable. They never literally slept together.
There's always this thing called 'limitation' of skinship between them. Limitations between best friends which they drawn by themselves.
Not that they're awkward with each other but juhyun didn't want to torture herself again if they get too close. She's afraid she'd wanted more.
She'd want to hug him tight. To kiss him right on the lips. To say that she loves him so much. Even though she knew it was not right.
Thus to play safe, the farthest they ever go in skinship was literally hugging each other. That's all and no more.
Suddenly the air was too awkward for the two best friends. Taehyung didn't like this. He loved her.
"She is my best friend right??" he thought.
"hyun-ah" he scooted closer to her.
She hummed in response. Turning her body to face him. Eyes locked on each other.
"About what you said just now.. you don't have to be afraid. Im always here for you. Im not going anywhere. Let's do everything you want. We'll treasure every time together right??"
She smiled looking into his eyes. Oh how much she loves that brown eyes. She got lost in them often. The way it disappeared when he's overly joyed specifically when she made him his favourite food. Or even bringing him to amusement park. The way it mirrored her expression perfectly whenever she looks into it.
"Why?? Do you want to live with me forever??" she said jokingly.
"......"
He's staring blankly at her. There was no response. Then she realised what she just said and intend to take it back.
"hey.. i was just joking.. d-don't take it too seriously haha tae-"
"why not??" he replied monotonously. He sounded so serious. "why?? do u want to leave me??".
She was taken aback by his words. She didn't know how this conversation get to this. She couldn't utter a single reply.
He was just joking right?? haha
Nervously faking a laugh she decided to ignore him.
"Hey let's just sleep shall we.. it's already 2." she said.
She pulled her blanket over her body when she realised taehyung has no blanket on. She's worried he might get a cold.
She sat up a little and pulled her huge purple blanket over taehyung's body.
He said nothing but a thanks. Still looking at her.
Feeling a little chilly by the weather, he scooted closer to juhyun. Getting all the warms he need.
Juhyun stayed still not moving an inch.
"It's okay right? we're bf anyway.. this far is okay.. i think" she thought to herself.
She felt his warm body getting closer to her. He put his arm under her head asking to sleep on it. His other hand on her waist pulling it closer to him. She just let him.
Then she buried her face in his chest and hugged him back. She moved a little to get into a comfortable position in his hold. She felt his chin over her head. She loves this. His body is so huge compared to her. She love the way she felt protected in his tight embrace. Like a safe house.
But little did she knows that,
he was secretly loving it too....
