With you by my side || Kim Taehyung

Chapter 4

I felt a can bump on my head, so I looked up at him, looking at me all worried.

"Hey, you okay? You have been really quiet this whole time. Was work that bad?" He asked as his eyebrows furrowed.

I always found that cute... whenever his eyebrows...furrowed... like that... Wait What??!?

I sputtered, and moved a bit away from him, my cheeks flushing red.

"Amy?" He asked super confused, getting up to go after me, as I ran into the dining area.

"Yeah. Tae... I am good. Just getting myself another beer." I said, as I held my cheeks. Why are they so hot?!? I usually have a lot more beer than this to actually start feeling hot. I pressed a can of beer to my cheeks to cool it down.

"Oh... Okay... Listen! Grab a couple for me too." He said, still looking at me, as I made my way back to the sofa.

"Are you sure, you are okay? You look a bit flushed!" He said touching my head, to check for any signs of fever.

"Yup! I.. I am fine, let's go back to the movie!" I said, as I leaned forward to grab the box of fried chicken, trying to get away from his hand.

"If you say so..." He said, glancing over at me, every once in a while.

"Tae! I am fine. Seriously." I said, as I couldn't help blushing, every time he glanced at me.

I was beginning to think that drinking when you were tired, wasn't that great of an idea.

"Okay okay". He said, as he went back to the movie and brought a spoon full of rice upto my mouth for me to eat. I passed him a piece of fried chicken as I went back to the movie, removing my hair band, to let my hair cover my flaming face.

"How was your day?" I ask after a while. Usually I hated it when anyone talks during movie nights, especially when it was a Marvel movie marathon, but I could see that Tae wasn't really watching the movie. He has a long list of jokes, that he cracks every single time irrespective of how many times I have watched it or heard it, especially while watching Iron Man, but he hasn't cracked a joke since the beginning of the movie, and we were almost reaching towards the intermission.

"Hmm.. It was good. Suga Hyung really liked my new song, and he gave me some advice on a part I was stuck on for a while. He also gave me tomorrow off, so that I can relax and try to come up with new ideas to finish the song." He said, as he paused the movie and looked at me.

"Oh... You want me to bake something for you? Since you can't really concentrate, without any suga(r) in your body." I said crunching my nose and smiling at him, waiting for his reaction.

"Eww! Amy... You just made me sound like I am gay!" He said swatting at my arm.

"Hehe. Sorry. I just had to make that joke. Waaaiiitt...." I said as my eyes grew larger.

"Whaaat???" He replied, mimicking my tone and rolling his eyes.

"You are telling me you are not gay?" I said with a straight face. (Yeah, pun intended)

"WHAT?!? WHY WOULD I BE GAY?" He asked looking at me in disbelief.

"I don't know... I just always thought you were gay." I tried not to snicker.

"Amy! You are just pulling my leg. You know I am not gay. Don't you remember Alice? Or Bethany?"

I felt something in my chest when he said those names, but I just brushed it off, as I tried to maintain my poker face.

"Yeah but that was in middle school, and yanno, the way you guys are so close at the studio, I always wondered. Plus you haven't dated anyone in ages, so I thought you went gay. " I said smirking.

"What? No!! Guys are always like that! We just don't show it off like you girls. And I don't know, I just didn't feel like dating anyone." He replied, his eyes lingering on my face for a few seconds too long. And, it didn't affect me in any way. Nope. Not at all. No effect whatsoever.

"AND I AM NOT GAY! Shut up!" He said, finishing his beer in a gulp and going towards the next one.

I don't what I was feeling or thinking, maybe it was the beer, maybe I was just exhausted, or maybe something snapped, but I couldn't stop myself from saying what I said next.

"Make me."

"WHAT?!" Tae looked at me with wide eyes.
