Mesmerizing

3: Coincidence

"Did you take all the things you need?" he asked

"Yes I guess, where do you have to go?"

"I thought of passing by the super market if you won't mind"

"I don't, I still need some movement anyways." I replied.

He took my back bag "I will carry it, let's go"

"You can have your scarf back, I wore layers of clothes." I said taking it off to give it back to him. I totally forgot that it was his even after I changed my clothes I put it back on.

"Rena"

I looked at him waiting for him to take it "Just keep it" he said wrapping it back around my neck.

"Thank you" I said with warm eyes

We headed to the super market that was near their house and he was still carrying my back bag.

"We need some stuff at home, do you want to buy anything?" he asked and I shook my head covering it with the hood attached to my hoodie. He stopped the shopping trolley and tilted his head looking at me. "Is something wrong?" he really looked confused

"N-No, j-just there are many people here, I hate crowded places" I replied with a low shaky voice.

"When did you become that afraid of people?"

"Since I became insecure about the least thing in myself" I answered and looked at my feet remembering my corpse look that I never actually forgot.

"Okay"

"Okay?" I raised my head in what I called utmost surprise what does he mean by okay? Won't he tell me that I shouldn't care? Won't he tell me that I should do what I want? What was that Kim Taehyung? What was that?

"It's fine, and I am here right next to you I am going to buy one more thing and we will head straight home." He replied pulling the hood to cover my head well still leaving me in shock.

He, he let me be.

I suffocate when there is crowd, I feel like everyone is staring at me, judging me, pushing me over the line even when they don't know me. But I lost myself years ago.

We finally went out of the place. "let me help you, I am not that sick." I said stopping him trying to grab any of the shopping bags but he won't let me.

"It's not that heavy" he ignored my request then we arrived at the boys' , it wasn't that late I guess.

"what took you so long?" yelled Hoseok from the inside.

"Traffic, hyung it was the traffic"

"Both of you come eat then we have been waiting for you" yelled Jimin, they were actually yelling so we could hear them since I went to the kitchen with Taehyung. Jungkook came all of a sudden out of nowhere.

"Next time you want to lie hide your traces first, here I parked it away" he said with an evil smile throwing the keys to Taehyung. "You stood in the rain again, didn't you" he sighed

"I did" I unconsciously answered with a low voice and Taehyung nodded as Jungkook's question was initially addressed to him not to me. Taehyung looked at me and tilted his head, then jungkook looked at us both "Reflection" he said leaving me confused then went out of the kitchen. I followed to go eat and so did Taehyung.

"Did he bother you?" asked jin placing delicious plate of food in front of me.

"Not at all" I replied
