In Another Lifetime

Temporary

I nodded, smiling happily at the thought of spending another evening with him, this time maybe not in the dark.

Taehyungs POV

I made my way to the showers, my only thought being that I wanted to hurry up, and get cleaned up, so I could go get Delaney, and get out of here.

She made me smile, every time I saw her. I don't know what it was, but something just drew me to her. She was cute, especially when she smiled, and kind of quiet. I liked that about her.

I walked into the locker room to see it empty already, except for Jungkook.

"Hey Tae, what are you doing tonight? Wanna go to Hongdae playground with me later?" He asked, pulling his shirt off over his head.

"Nope, I already have plans, but thanks anyway."

"Oh yeah, what kind of plans?" He smirked, sitting to untie his boots.

"Delaney and I are grabbing dinner from Yukjeon Sikdang  and taking it back to her place."

His eyebrows went up. "Really? That's great Tae, she seems really sweet. How did you luck out and get the stylist that isn't married anyway?"

I shrugged. "It's only because Min Jee has to take care of her mom. I don't even know if she'll be here long, Min Jee never gave any indication as to whether she was coming back or not."

"Oh. Well that would suck. Doesn't Laney know how long she'll be here for? You'd think they would have told her."

"She hasn't said anything, so I don't know." I frowned. "I'm kind of afraid to ask her, because I don't wanna find out that the position is temporary."

"You really like her, don't you?" He glanced at me, pulling his boots off and sticking them under the bench.

I nodded. "I do, I've already asked her to be my girlfriend."

"Woah! When did that happen? Isn't this, like, her third day here?"

"Last night. It kind of just happened. We left here yesterday and went to get lunch across the street. Nari waited on us, and Delaney told me that Nari liked me, that she could tell. I told her that Nari was 16, and that I would never date her. She said that a lot of young girls dream about being my girlfriend, so to let her dream."

"She's probably not wrong."

I shrugged. "Maybe. I don't know. Anyway, we were waiting for the bill, and I don't even know why I said it, I didn't plan it or anything, but I asked her if she had ever dreamed about being my girlfriend."

He laughed, grabbing his towel from the bench next to him, and standing up. "I can pretty much figure out the rest. Good for you though. I think you two are cute together. I hope it works out how you want it to."

"Thanks Kook, me too."

"Well, I'm gonna get my shower, and get going. See you tomorrow Tae. Enjoy your evening, and don't do anything I wouldn't do." He saluted me with two fingers, and started to walk away.

"That leaves me so many options..." I mumbled. I heard him laugh loudly as he disappeared around the corner.

I smiled and grabbed my own towel, making my way to the showers. I could hear the other showers running, since they'd all beat me here. I shed my clothes, and stepped into an empty stall, turning the water on and waiting for it to get hot.

As I washed the sweat from my body, I heard all the other showers turn off, one by one, until mine was the only one left running. I was rinsing the shampoo from my hair when I heard Jungkook holler.
