Step Brother

16• Stubborn

The entire rest of the night Taehyung stayed as far away from me as possible. I tried to sit next to him on the couch but he instantly got up and moved to the arm chair across the room completely avoiding eye contact with me.

After the boys decided it was time to go home I held the door open of them as Taehyung said his goodbyes. They all just nodded as the walked out the door, all except one.

Jimin.

He looked back slightly to check Taehyung wasn't looking, "Take this, if you need me text me." He closed my fist around a small slip of paper with his number on it. Before he walked out he kissed my hand and I smiled shyly. The moment I looked back where Taehyung was standing, he was gone.

I waved goodbye to them all then locked the door. I wanted to apologize to Taehyung, I had to for my own mental health. As I walked to Taehyungs door and tried to open it, it was locked.

"Tae?" I called hoping he would let me talk to him.

"Go away y/n, you've done enough tonight." He replied as he shut his lamp off.

"Taehyung seriously, please let me talk to you." I pleaded through the door, but there was no response.

*Taehyungs POV*
Later in the night after y/n tried to talk to me I needed a glass of water. As I opened my door I was startled by a shadow near the floor. When I further examined it, it was y/n. She was leaning against the wall next to my door, knees to her chest and head down.

"You've got to be kidding me?" I thought to myself as I walked to grab a water bottle from the kitchen. She seriously doesn't give up does she? I can't just leave her there all night she'll get a kink in her neck.

As I walked back to my room she hadn't moved an inch. I threw the bottle on my bed and walked back into the hallway.

"What am I supposed to do with you y/n? You can't let me be alone but you can't be with me." I sighed picking her up off the floor and holding her close to me. When I looked down on her she had been crying. Her cheeks were still rosy and wet.

"You're not my doll to play with y/n, but you're just so fragile. I would never dare do anything to hurt you, but it seems like I've already done that."

I laid her in her bed and covered her small body in the large comforter. I hesitated on whether to kiss her goodnight or not. As I leaned in to her forehead I heard a ding, it was her phone.

Jiminie:
"Y/n everything will be okay I promise! Taehyung is just stubborn when he gets angry. Do you need me to come back?"

How the hell did he get her number? Did he go through my phone? When I looked back at y/n I noticed her one fist was closed. As I slowly opened her palm, the small slip of paper with Jimin's number came into focus.

So she is going to talk to Jimin now because I won't speak to her? Is she really that quick to jump to another person? They danced oddly close to each other the first night she met him. Her laugh was even different around him. What the fuck am I doing wrong that she is suddenly attracted to him? This is exactly what I was afraid of, I'm losing her.

*Y/n's POV*

I woke up in my bed this morning really confused. The last thing I remember doing is trying to talk to Taehyung but he would let me in. So I got upset and messaged Jimin, but I guess I fell asleep waiting for Tae and didn't get Jimin's message. I turned over in my bed and was startled by someone sitting cross legged at the end of my bed.

"Jimin?!" I yelled almost falling out of my bed.

"Good morning beautiful, how'd you sleep?" he said with a warm smile.
