I stared at her as I dozed off to sleep. When I woke up, she was gone, along with my shoelace. She left no traces of herself.

Wait! I have the watch! I pulled it out and wiped the screen.

*GASP* "w-what is this!?"
——————————————-

TaeHyung pulled my watch out of his pocket. I tried to snatch it out of his hands as soon as I saw it. He pulled his arm back.

"Do you want to explain this?" He asked.

I cringed and bit my lip. He wasn't supposed to find out. He wasn't supposed to know.

I squeezed my nails into my palms to hold back emotions.

"I... I can't tell you..." I said with my head down.

"Why? Just tell me." He persisted.

"You won't believe me even if I told you."

"You won't know that unless you try. I could help you."

"This isn't something for you to know." I wanted to fall completely into him again but the guilt of my promise to Bang PD pricked me.

TaeHyung looked at me with shocked eyes. Did I offend him?

"Why can't I know?"

"Because it's my personal life. This business is between me and my fiancé, not between you and me." I hid my tears away in the farthest possible place and let disgusting words escape my mouth. A bad taste filled my mouth as I spoke to him.

I don't like this. I don't want this.

Tae-Oppa, I'm sorry... Please forgive me...

We held eye contact as TaeHyung mustered up courage to say the words I never expected to escape his lips.

"But... I fell in love with you..." His words were soft but it hit hard on a place in my heart.

It took me by complete surprise. It was like someone had frozen my entire body.

I gulped. "You don't even know me. Plus I'm getting married soon." I responded. Hurt by my own words. "And you're only 22, you're too young to know what love is."

He scoffed. "And you're old enough to know? You look like you're younger than me."

"Pssh~ I'm 29! Of course I've fallen in love. In love with—" I caught myself.

"You know what? I don't have the patience to talk to you. Don't talk to my brother again either."

I turned around. As long as I know where the watch is, I can come back to get it.

"Are you serious? 'My brother'? You've got to be kidding me right?" He had the biggest smirk on his face.

"W-what?" I panicked.

"I know you don't have a brother." TaeHyung smacked his hand against the wall behind me, trapping me between his body and a wall.

"Yes I do. Who are you to tell me I don't have one?"

I'm going to get found out!
