Accepting Affection

Part 41

V takes out his phone and presses on his grandma's picture.

It rings twice before she answers.

"Hi baby! How are you?"

"Hey Grandma, I am good. Are you doing okay?"

"Yes Taehyung I am okay. How is school going? Have you made any friends?"

"I have grandma. A nice group of guys. I fit in really well. Classes are going great too."

"That's really good hunny. Did you need anything? Is that why you called me?"

"Well, I wanted to ask a out you know who. Have you heard any news? What happened?"

She sighs really hard.

"Well baby, he is okay, but he's really angry. He's been asking me where you are, and I don't tell him. Thankfully he hasn't done anything to hurt me, but I can't say he wouldn't try. He doesn't need to know where you are, and he won't ever hear it from me."

V let out a sigh of relief and fear.

"I'm glad I didn't kill him grandma. But I'm worried he is going to find me. I'm scared of what'll happen to me, and to my friends." V says.

"I wouldn't worry too much Taehyung. I'm sure he'll keep looking but it would be very hard for him to find you. By the way, have you found a nice young man yet?"

V knew this was coming.

"I've met someone yes, but I'm not ready for a relationship. But grandma, he's different. He's making me feel things I didn't with, HIM. You know? And I'm scared because it's happening so fast."

"Have you kissed yet?" She asked.

"We have, and it felt really nice grandma. I felt like I was home. He told me he liked me. But he also understands that I'm not ready. I had to tell him the real reason I'm here, and he took it so well."

"Kim Taehyung! Now you listen here. If he makes to feel like you're home, pursue it. Don't let it go. You didn't feel like this with HIM. This is real. A real feeling. Like what I feel with Grandpa. We've been together for how many years?"

V laughed.

"40 years grandma. 40 long years. I just want to be happy. I want to love. I want to be loved."

"I know you do hunny. And you will. Trust me. I'm old and wise."

"I love you Grandma. Tell Grandpa I say hi and I love him. I will come visit on my long break. Okay?"

"Ok baby, we love you. Stay safe and let yourself be happy, please. "

And with that, he hung up.

But what he didn't know, is that Yoongi was in their bathroom, and heard every word.
