Jin's P.O.V

It's hot in here, in Hoseok's room or maybe it's just me. It's just me because I'm nervous. God, I'm nervous. What is going to happen tonight? I have so much to talk over with Taehyung even stuff that has been talked about. About Namjoon. I am afraid he is here waiting to attack. He might beat up Taehyung and a fight will break out then that will cause my night to be ruined. No, that can't happen but I can almost see it happening.

I don't want to see Namjoon or Jungkook though I know Jungkook is here for Jimin. He really likes Jimin it's almost freaky, he's freaky. Hopefully Jimin is taking care of Jungkook in some way. They really like each other but I don't believe Jungkook will commit to a relationship since he is popular. Even with Jimin because he is a boy. His gender. Jungkook also has popularity in his hands just like Taehyung so he can't have anything go wrong the further into high school he goes.

Sighing I stand from Hoseok's desk to his bed only to pass it. Making my way to the window I peer down and gap. There Yoongi is dragging Taehyung almost by the ear up the sidewalk to the front door. He is really here. He could be up here at any moment. My body panics. Backing up from the window afraid he might see me I run into Hoseok's bathroom. Do I look decent for him to see me?

I fix my hair, my shirt that I notice is a bit wrinkled. Oh great! I turn on the sink and lower my head to take big gulps of water. I got thirsty all of a sudden, why? What's going on?! My legs are shaking. Should I take a shower before he gets here? What am I thinking he'll just get in, maybe that's okay. No!

Cologne? Should I brush my teeth with my finger? Gross! I should change my clothes- but what if he walks in on me as I am getting changed? That would be so embarrassing! I remove my head from underneath the faucet and turn the water off. My hands begin to shake and sweat. Stop it, Jin. Toughen up, you little shit. God that was harsh to say to myself.

Calm down. It's fine. I plop myself on the toilet and hang my head. I'm dead. This night is going to be horrible, horrible. My stomach hurts. If only I didn't confess my feelings to this guy. Why did I? Really, why did I?

I was tired of hearing his name. Tired of his face and seeing it everywhere even in my dreams. His voice. Just knowing he is alive drove me to confess, it was eating me alive. If I didn't tell him I would be in the same place. Studying and only have my friends Jimin and Hoseok. And Taehyung is graduating this year meaning I won't see him the following year. That will be hard, we will barely see each other as it is. High school crushes don't go anywhere. We aren't even dating, yet we've kissed.

What is that? What am I doing? Hasn't asked me out yet- or has he and I just have the courtesy to forget. What is wrong with me? I can't take this. My head is spinning. Namjoon would be a distraction but not what he did to me. God, what he did to me I can't forgive him. He almost kissed me and I- I hear footsteps. Heavy breathing from the other side of the wall. Doors opening and closing. Is it him?

I run out of the bathroom tripping over myself as I land on the bed. Staggering to sit I'm blank and I don't think. He will come in soon. Is it him? Someone random? Namjoon? Hoseok telling me he is here? Jimin coming in and telling me Taehyung can't make it? Hae-Win ruining the party? What? Who is it?

I suck in a sharp breath and jump when the door to Hoseok's room opens. My head snaps back to see Taehyung, his hair cut to a length I feel like he can see. "You almost gave me a heart attack." I place a hand over my chest realizing how fast my heart was beating. Damn it. The door closes and I watch Taehyung walk my way to sit next to me. Here he is. Now what? All the things I want to say have left me. "Taehyung I"- I turn my head and cut short when my lips crash into Taehyungs. His hands wrap around my face pulling me in.

Here it goes.
