Jennie's POV

"Yah, did Taehyung did something wrong? Seeing you following him around is creepy," a huge smile escaped my lips as I heard Hobi oppa's words. He looked suspecting and I grin.

"Aniyo, I'm just making up to him. Taehyung-ah!" I screamed as I follow the frantic boy towards the back of the house.

"Jennie, keep it down. Ashton is sleeping," I heard Chaeyoung and I gave her a peace sign which she returned with a long sigh before closing Jimin and her room.

A week ago, Chaeyoung had given birth to baby Ashton. To say that everything is a mess was an understatement.

Chaos had been everywhere but we're all happy. Ashton after all, is a gift to us from above.

And momentarily, I forgot my mission on having Taehyung back. We were all focused on tending Chaeyoung and Ashton, I was distracted.

But now that Chaeyoung had been a little sensitive, we were trying to give them space which made me remember what I was supposed to do.

Taehyung, he was avoiding me like crazy. The moment I enter the room, he leaves. But that won't stop me. All I did was try to be sweet to him. And every time that I do, he runs away.

You can't always run from me.

Of course, the others noticed but they thought I was doing it on purpose to annoy Taehyung.

I can even remember his words when I declared that I'm getting him back.

"Jennie, let's not do this. I can't afford to get hurt once again simply because you can't decide what you really want,"

And then he walked out and followed the boys. I was hurt but I understood. He was hurt and that's because of me.

"Taehyung, do you wanna eat some icecream?" I exclaimed, my face stretched into a huge smile and I saw Jisoo unnie raising an eyebrow.

She knew what I was doing.

"I'm full Jennie," he answered before checking his phone.

I felt my stomach churning. I would be lying if I say I am not hurting by what he was doing but it was my fault, to begin with. He is just protecting himself.

But he said he will wait..

I put on a fake smile and look at him. "Even with strawberry ice cream?"

"Even..." he whispered and I pouted, my shoulders slumped and I suddenly felt down.

It's almost two weeks and they will be back in Korea. If we don't makeup now, I'll have to wait a few more weeks before I see him again.

Just thinking about it makes me even sadder.

"How about some burger?" I tried once again and I heard him let out a sigh.

"Stop pestering me, Jennie,"

"Taehyung-ah, you're being too mean," Jin oppa exclaimed and I just smiled.

"It's okay oppa. I am being nosy. Hmm, I suddenly felt sleepy,"

Slowly, I walked back and headed to my room, my insides feeling a little weird.

Once I reached my room, I plopped my body on my bed, stomach first.

"Why can't he forgive me?" I whispered.
