You knew that you were taking a really big risk by allowing Taehyung to lead you wherever the two of you were going. The fact that you left the school and didn't go straight home was already a huge mistake on your part.

But still, you found yourself trusting him. Even more than you trusted Jungkook. There was something sincere about his boxy grins and his cheerful attitude.

You hate to admit but it was very infectious.

For the first time in the longest time, you also allowed someone to touch you. As the two of you were walking on, Taehyung hand was intertwined with yours. You ignored the stares that you received inside your school. Even outside where nobody knew you.

However, you couldn't get rid of Jungkook's own stare burning into the back of your head.

"Your hands are really soft, (Y/N)." Your train of thoughts had been disrupted with Taehyung's deep voice as he gently gave your hand a squeeze. "We're here!" He announced before you could respond to his first statement.

You wanted to hit him.

"This is Starbucks, Taehyung." He hums cheerfully before looking at you.

"It is!" You nearly rolled your eyes and he gave a look of concern. "Is there something wrong?"

"It's crowded." You tell him, then again, if the assassin were to be around, they would be at a disadvantage with the number of people. So, before he could say anything more, you dragged him inside.

You ordered your favorite drink and he ordered a caramel macchiato. The two of you found yourselves lounging on one of the vacant couches. Sitting near each other, you took slow sips of your drink.

"It's been awhile since I last went here." You admitted, Taehyung cocked an eyebrow and stared at you in curiosity.

"Do you mean like this branch or-"

"Starbucks in general," You took another sip, savoring the flavor. "It's been a while since the last time I went out." You admitted. Ever since the start of the competition, the only time that you actually went out was when you would go to school.

Taehyung's eyes widened in surprise as he nearly choked on his coffee.

"Are you serious?" You nod, rolling your eyes at how loud his voice was causing a few heads to turn. You swore that you saw a few girls swoon the moment that they heard his deep and uncommon voice.

"Does it look like I'm joking?"

"Well, you're serious most of the time so who am I kidding." He shook his drink a bit allowing the ice to rattle inside the plastic cup, "Then we should make the best of today then." He stood and dragged you with him.

You wondered how many times you were going to be dragged around like a ragdoll that day. Except, you doubt that Taehyung would be tossing you away anytime soon.

The walk to wherever Taehyung had been planning the two of you to go to didn't take long. In fact, it was a place that you would usually pass by whenever you were heading back to your apartment.

It was a small park filled with trees and lush green grass. Every now and then, people would pass by with their S.Os, families, or pets as you two walked down the gravel path. In the middle of the park was a man made lake with ducks swimming around and fishes jumping out every now and then.

"You know," You began as you continued to admire the scenery, "I wasn't expecting you to take me here." You hands were stuffed into your pocket as you began to feel the cold breeze brush against your skin. You had left your coat at school in rush since Taehyung had literally dragged you out of the classroom.
