Our Restart [KTH FF.]

CH. 4 special

TAEHYUNG's POV

The rain started to pour, good thing I brought my umbrella with me, if not I can't go home. I already bought the stuff I needed for my new job. When I heard that my job will be her personal assistant, a part of me want to quit but I don't have any choice, I freaking need a job in this place or else I won't have money and die.

Walking to get home, my phone vibrated. I snatched my phone out from my pocket and checked to see who sent me the message. Taewoo?

9:14 pm > 'Big bro, where are you? It's getting late. Be home now or mom's gonna whip your ass'

I ain't a kid but I'm still scared of my mom whipping my butt.

9: 14 pm > 'wait a little longer'

I put back my phone and continued focusing on my path. I kinda miss Korea, the people, my language and the surroundings, I still remembered everything here before I went to Beijing for 2 years handling some important things. Me and my friends used to eat in Panda Express... I LOVE PANDA EXPRESS! I remembered going shopping with my sister together at the Gucci store, which cost almost our lives and never went shopping there again. That was all before we graduated college, we all got separated after that... also my relationship with Jihun.

"Woi, don't tell me you passed out" the guy in front of me said, who's he talking to? I stopped a meter beside him. A girl? And she was soaked up, maybe from the rain. She was sleeping on the guy's chest, and he was a bit uncomfortable in the situation he's having. I couldn't really see the girl's face since it was all covered up by her wet hair.

"Uhh do you need help?" I asked. It was raining and I don't think this guy can carry this female to her home. "You seemed kinda troubled, I could hold the umbrella for you while you carry her"

"You will!! Tha---"

"AAaaAiiIsssHHH, YyOuRree tOOoo LooUUuD!"

She shushed the guy while she was still leaning her body on his chest. She kinda sounds familiar... Is she..? I swept his hair behind his ear revealing her face. I backed off when I finally knew who she was.

LEE JIHUN!?!

My eyes widen realizing the girl's identity. OH MY GOD! IT IS LEE JIHUN. Her hair was supposed to be long and not brown, she even have bangs now. Why is she wet from the rain? And why is she drunk? And why is there a patch on her cheek. Questions around my mind weren't stopping. How stupid of me! I can't even identify my ex-girlfriend's face and body figure.

"Mister? Are you gonna help me? Can you hold this umbrella now while I carry her?" the guy said making me snap out of my thoughts. I change my mind.

"Let me carry her"

I was not surprised that his face was shocked, maybe this guy is her new boyfriend? He replied with a nod and we exchanged our places, I was holding her now, she kinda gained a little weight but she's still beautiful as a blooming flower.

Seconds later, I carried her on my back not caring if my clothes will also get wet. The guy leaned his umbrella using his other hand, which is much bigger, to cover us both from the cold rain. He used mine since it was just a single-person umbrella. It fits him though, heh.

We began walking because this hour taxis are hard to find and I don't think our money is enough for transportation. We were quiet for the whole time, rain drops can be heard and so as our footsteps. It was a little bit awkward to me because I don't really know this guy and he's with Jihun, who is he to her?

"So, are you her boyfriend or something?" I asked breaking the silence because of my curiousness, curious Kim Taehyung. "No. She was drunk and was walking like a zombie under the rain. So, I just met her today" he explained scratching the back of his neck. I felt a relief at his answer.

"And where are you gonna take her home? Since you just met her you don't know where she lives, am I right?"

"Well, I was planning to take her to my house. So, yeah" are you kidding me right now? What if he'll do something to Jihun? I'm glad that I encountered them before anything happens to her.

"...Tae...hyung" she whispered softly on my ear. I was shocked when she said my name for a very long time. It gave me goosebumps.

__________

We arrived in front of his door, he lives in a normal house... guess he ain't a kidnaper nor rapist after all. We went in and gently put Jihun on the bed, I stared at her face that I've been missing for a long time.

I noticed the guy was also staring at her, smiling what's with that smile? It's freaking creepy. I cleared my throat making him look at my direction instead of staring at the sleeping beauty. "I like your house though, it's clean and simple. My name is Kim Taehyung by the way"

"Thanks. Well I'm Park Ji---"

'Sarangheul haettda uriga mana~~~'

My phone just rang and I got chills running down my spine when I saw the caller. Mom's gonna whoop my ass.

"Hello?"

"WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU!? GET YOUR ASS OVER HE---" I ended the call because I know she's gonna nag at me for the rest of the call.

"Well, anyways I gotta go, my family's gonna get mad at me if I stay too long"

"Sure sure. Thank you for helping me, Is there anything I can pay you back with this?"

I walked towards the exit of the house but something made me stop my movements. "There is, actually"

"Please don't tell her about anything that happened tonight. Don't tell her my name. Just tell her that you were the one who brought her here"

"S-sure"
