Chapter.6: Confess

When the water boiled and was done to be poured with the noodles, you walked back to the living room.

Taehyung sat already on the couch. The tv was already on the right channel.

You placed the two bowls on the small table in front of the couch and sat next to your boyfriend.

Well. For long as he would be your boyfriend after what you had to tell him.

The show began and you two watched it as normal.
But you had that weird and annoying feeling that everything wasn't right.

You have to tell him, Y/N. But how?

You didn't want to ruin the show for him, so you just kept quiet and watched the show go on.

Taehyung laughed almost every minute if something funny happened. You just stared at the tv, blankly.

'Are you okay, Pumpkin?' Taehyung asked all of a sudden.

'Yeah, I'm fine. But I think I go to bed.' You said. You hoped he wouldn't be curious as to know why. But it was part of the Friday night ritual. So he wouldn't suspect a thing.

'Uhm, okay. I will come when the show is over and then I will tell you how it ended.' Taehyung responded.

You nodded your head and made your way upstairs.

-

You did your normal night routine and stepped in bed. As normal, it didn't take long before Taehyung entered the room.

He saw you laying in bed, facing away from the door.
He shrugged and did his routine as well.

Until he was at the part of removing his shirt. Taehyung looked through the mirror to you, but you were still looking away.

Taehyung cleared his throat, but it was a poor attempt to make you look his way.

'Pumpkin?' No reaction. 'Y/N, hello?' Still nothing.

Taehyung thought for a second. But then he got it. 'Baby~.' He spoke in a deep and low voice.

Immediately you turned your head his way. 'What?'

He never called you Baby or Babe. Not even Honey or Sweetie. He said it was too sexy and regular. You didn't mind. You liked the name Pumpkin, but every time he would call you Baby -or any of the other names. You were in shock.

'Close your eyes.' He said.

You gave him a confused look. And he gave you a sarcastic confused look back.

'Why?' You said a little tired and maybe broke?

'Just close them already.' Taehyung walked over to your side of the bed, took your hands and put them in front of your eyes.

Like the little kid he was, he ran his way back with small steps.

You had your eyes closed and waited for it to happen. Taehyung took off his shirt and walked over to you.
He placed himself on the other side of the bed. 'You can look again, Pumpkin.'

You removed your hands and looked at your boyfriend.

If your brain could cry. It would already have cried an ocean.

Taehyung took the blanket and put it over the two of you. You made yourself comfortable to listen to what Taehyung was about to tell you. Namely, how the show ended.

'So, they walked out of the hotel, and the one with the weird hat, blah, blah, blah.' Taehyung ranted out.

Normally, you would have enjoyed listening to how he tells you how the show ended. He always tells it with so much detail and with funny voices.
But now, you weren't paying attention. You were distracted by your own thoughts.

And your brain has officially drowned itself with its tears.

'Pumpkin, what color was the hat of the man?' Taehyung asked you out of nowhere.

'Uhm... Blue?' You answered. You had actually no idea as to what Taehyung had told you about the show.

'No, it was pink and purple. What's the matter with you, Y/N? You're never like this.' Taehyung changed his position to face you.

You both sat upright on the bed. He was looking at you, while your eyes were focused on the blanket.

'Did something happen at work?' He asked.

At that sentence, you broke down. The tears were streaming down your cheeks. The whole scene of Jake kissing you was playing in your head.

'Hey, hey, hey, it's okay.' Taehyung said calmly. He placed his hand on your back and you crawled closer to him.

You placed yourself on his lap. Your face buried in his chest and you cried everything out.

-

After a few minutes laying like this, you had cried everything out. Your eyes were still a little red and puffy, but the tears were gone.

Your brain was dry and numb again.

'So, can you now tell me what happened?' Taehyung asked nicely and with a low voice.

You nodded your head and slowly sat upright.

'So, there is this guy at my work, Jake.' You started explaining. 'And he is a little creepy. He comes to the cafe for quite a long time now. And in that time I figured out that he likes me.'

You slightly looked at Taehyung trough the corner of your eyes. His face was normal, it had no expression.
He nodded his head as a sign for you to continue.

'So tonight, I walked home as normal. But he followed me. I swear I had no idea. He just took a hold of me and, and...' You couldn't talk anymore. Your brain had a short circuit.
Probably because of all the tears.

'And what Pumpkin?' Taehyungs face has now a little concern on it. But his eyes were still firm.

'And then he kissed me.'
