"I can kiss all your bruises away, bunny.", Taehyung  whispered. I shivered at his seductive tone and felt a blush creeping up onto my wet cheeks, but I liked it. Bunny. I guess I did have bunny-like front teeth.

I lift my head up from Taehyung's shoulder and look at him with my puffy eyes. He stared back at me with a smile. His thumbs lingered on my wet cheeks, as he wiped my tears away and dried my damp skin.

He proceeded to bring his right hand's thumb onto my busted lip and caressed it gently. "T-Taehyung—", I tried asking him, but was interrupted by his index finger pressing gently on my lip, shushing me. "You can call me Tae.", He whispered with a warm smile. "O-okay...", I nodded. I forgot what I had to say, and honestly maybe I didn't even want to say it.

Taehyung lift me up from the floor by my waist and plopped me onto the toiled to sit. "Wait for me...", He gave me a swift nod and left the room. "Oh, I will...", I whispered to myself, but it was intended for him. I spoke the truth, I'd wait for a guy like him.

He came back shortly after with some kind of tube. "What's that?", I asked eager to know. "It's going to heal you.", Taehyung kneeled down onto my level in front of the toilet I was sitting on. He opened the tube's cap and placed some of the white cream type substance on his thumb. He lifted it up to my scar on my forehead and started rubbing it with his thumb. He did the same for my scars on my cheek and put just a tiny bit on my lips.

He closed the tube with the cap and took out a chapstick. "What's that?", I asked again, hoping to get actual answers this time. "To heal you.", He repeated practically the same thing and spread the chapstick on my lip. It felt cold, but good.

"Thank you doctor.", I chuckled. Taehyung shook his head. "Oh, you're not done yet.", He smiled sweetly and grabbed my cheeks. He bent my head down slightly and gave me a long sweet kiss on the top of my forehead.

He lifted my head back up and I could feel the warmth form in my cheeks. Taehyung kept smiling at me and after I eventually got over the blissful shock I smiled too.

Taehyung held my hands and helped me up. "Let's order a pizza.", He suggested and lead me down the stairs and into the living room slowly and gently. He knew I was in pain and was considerate when it came to touching me or making me do something. How was he so caring?

I sat down on the sofa and let the final shots of pain do their worst. "What kind of pizza do you want?", Taehyung asked me. "Whatever is fine.", I smiled to assure him. "Pepperoni?", He raised an eyebrow and I nodded.

Taehyung called the nearest PizzaHut in the kitchen and ordered our food. He came back into the living room and sat down beside me. "How did you get your scars, bruises and busted lip?", He suddenly asked. The sudden question shocked me a bit.

I didn't want to tell him the truth, because the last time I accidentally told my math teacher she freaked out and called the principal and police. After they didn't press charges on Cheolmin my beating got ten times worse. I don't want this to turn into another shit storm. 

"I fell...", I came up with a bad lie. Silence filled the room. He knew I was lying, did I hurt his feelings for not being honest? I didn't mean to!

Taehyung nodded slowly. "You don't have to tell me now, but promise to be honest with me in the future.", He wrapped his arms around me and gently tightened his grip so that he wouldn't add pressure to my bruises.

I cried into Taehyung's shoulder silently, no one has ever been so nice and considerate to me other than my mother, but she's my mother, so I won't count that.
