Favor (KIM Taehyung)

Chapter 16

Taehyung left me in the car completely speechless after his outburst. I cant bring myself up stepping into the house. It's like all the excitement is gone and I wanna go back to his house sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Could there possibly be more to the story? Am I really misunderstanding by only listening to Lisa's part of the story? Maybe Taehyung's right and I shouldn't just believe whatever people tell me. 

But this is Lisa we're talking about. She is my friend and she wouldn't lie to me. And plus she seemed pretty genuine and heart broken. I'm probably missing something here and I want to find out. Not because I want to stick my nose into other people's business but because I want to help Lisa to stop blaming herself. To stop trying to pull off a mask to hide her true feelings. I may not have experience at being in love but I had many friends who have. I've seen what it does to them. Although I always thought it was pathetic to get involved in something like that and I still do, but people are just too blind to think about the troubles that is causes.

I wiped the tears that are barely there and open the car door. On my way to the front door I started fanning my face because my eyes are probably red and I don't want Taehyung to think I was crying because of him. There door was left open with nobody there. I took a few moment before I entered.

I walked through the narrow hallway trying to find the guys through their voices. It didn't take long until I saw them in the living room. My eyes wondered around the house. The house wasn't as good as Taehung's but it's still very beautiful and spacious. 

A thought suddenly came over to me which made me furrow my eyebrows. Do they all live alone? By the look of it it seems like they do. They all probably have their own mansions. What do you expect from spoiled brats.

No one noticed that I was here yet because they were all busy doing their own thing. Seokjin and Hoseok were in the kitchen busy cooking while laughing and talking having their best time. Namjoon was sitting on the stool holding his phone in his hand while admiring Hoseok and Seokjin fooling around. Yoongi being the grandpa he is was laying on the couch which seemed like he was sleeping completely unbothered by the amount of shouting and laughing. And Taehyung... He was just being the complete opposite person that I usually have to deal with.  

I can't believe this is the same person that just shouted at me in the car just because of his friend. He looks so happy and laughing along with Jungkook at every joke Jimin says while the three of them play video games.  

I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'm actually jealous. With the guys he looks like the most fun person to be around but when with me he is a boring mf. If I were to take a picture right now they would like like a big happy family. If they're already not.

"He brought you here too?" I broke out of my thoughts and looked to see Namjoon standing in front of me with a smirk. Oh shit, he probably thought I was checking Taehyung out.

"Ah-yeah well um.. I was bored so I kinda forced him to bring me." I smiled back. He raised his eyebrow at my statement.

"You forced him?" He asks like he is impressed. I only reply with a grin, it should be an enough answer. He started laughing.

"You're something else, anyways make yourself comfortable."  He gestures me to continue moving forward. I made my way towards the stool which was next to the counter near the kitchen.

"Oh Raehyun-ah, what are you doing here?" I look at Hoseok who has wide eyes staring at me.

"Nothing I just figured I should pay you guys a visit even though you guys are annoying." I replied coolly even though it was not true.

"Playing cool huh? I mean we both know you probably went through war to change Taehyung's mind about bringing you here." My eyes widened at Seokjin's statement.

"Well not exactly war but it did take a lot of effort." Then he winked at me and continued cooking which caused me to smile. It's good that they know Taehyung like they know themselves. 

"Sorry hyung can you do this yourself I need to go to the bathroom." Hoseok suddenly said with an uncomfortable face.

"It's fine I'll help him." Namjoon got up.

"NO!!" Seokjin and Hoseok said at the same time.

"I mean it's fine I'll manage myself." Seokjin smiled uncomfortably.

"Oh come on I'm not that bad." Namjoon seemed positive in himself.

Um am I the only one who doesn't know what's going on here? Why don't they let Namjoon help?

"You're not that bad huh? Yah! You almost burned the kitchen down last time. And you know what the thing is? you were only cutting onions Namjoon-ah. How do you mange to do that?!" Jin defended. I widened my eyes. Out of nowhere I burst out laughing like a lunatic.

"You were cutting onions?" I asked in disbelief.

Namjoon sighed in defeat.

"Fine, Ill just play video games. I don't need you." He huffed and left which made me laugh even more. 

Seokjin sighed in relief.

"I swear that man is so clumsy." then he stared at me questioning my state. I wiped my tears from laughter.

"Man give him a break." I kinda pity Namjoon now.

"Well you haven't seen him but that's okay, you'll get used to us pretty soon." He went back to cooking.

Used to us? Does he mean like friends? I don't think I'll stay here for long. Will I even be able to hang out with them after it's all over? I hope I can. But Taehyung would want nothing to do with me after that and I know it. I suddenly frown at the thought of not hanging out with the guys.

"You okay?" Seokjin brought me out of my thought. Why am I thinking all the time recently? 

"Yeah I'm fine, just thinking about the future." I shrug. Right now it's only Seokjin and I.

"Don't." He says and I frown.

"Don't?"

"Yeah, don't think about the future. Think about now."

"Well that's also another issue, I'm not having the best life now." I look away.

"Don't refuse it Rae-ah. It'll only get worse." I wait for him to elaborate. He sighs and stops what he's doing. "If you keep fighting him nothing will get solved. Look we've known Taehyung ever since I could remember. He doesn't accept new people in his life so it's going to take time and I promise you Rae he will be better. And plus he had to go through all that with his parents so it's hard for him to handle this."

I stood quite.

"That's the kind of person he is. He's arrogant and thinks he's always right but you know what? I think you're the best thing that happened to him." 

"But we're not in a relationship."

"Yeah I know. But I think you will be able to stop his arrogant ass. I mean you slapped the almighty Kim Taehyung across the face, who does that?" He said sarcastically. 

I stopped for a moment to function the new information. It takes time? But I'm not planning to be here for long. So what's in it for me?

"You said it will take time. As soon as he gets used to me everything is over. So either way I still have to deal with it and I don't think I'll be able to do it. He is not the only one who is stubborn you know."

He just smiled. "We'll see." 

I want to continue asking him. I wanna ask and know what he means but I wont. It's gonna be over before I know it so there is no point. And plus this is not what I wanna know about. I wanna know about what really happened to cause the incident with Rose. I want to help Lissa as much as I can. This is my chance. If no one knows, Seokjin knows more than anyone. I just hope he will tell me.

Here I go, Ill just ask simple questions about Jungkook. Will he get mad like how Taehyung did? I just hope not. 

"Seokjin-ah want me to help you?"
