Ashen || k.th.

20

We were supposed to be packing for London. But knowing Taehyung and I, doing normal things is like doing the impossible. It's either we make troubles, which I had to take all the blame for, or we are to be found in our own bubble of laughter and giggles.

"You ready?" He asked as he positioned himself behind the luggage I was sitting at. I shifted myself and held on the handle.

"Ready." We count to three and he pushed the luggage making it run on the ground. I was having the time of my life being childish. "Alright! Your turn."

"Can you push me?" He asked, quirking a brow. I gave him a smirk and stated proudly.

"Try me, mister." We swapped positions and I held on to the back of the bag which is currently being our ride for the past 20 minutes. The luggage rolled off quickly once I pushed it. Taehyung was laughing obnoxiously as I was.. Until I realized where he was heading.

"Oh my God! Taehyung stop!" I tried but it was too late. I cringed as my suitcase bumped loudly at the closed door to my room, sending Taehyung all the way across the door, his ashen figure disappearing from my sight. I quickly ran inside to help him and to make sure he isn't hurt. "Tae? You okay?" I said as I looked down. He was lying on his stomach, his face planted on the floor.

"I'm really, really sorry, Taehyung. I.. I didn't know. Please tell me you're okay." I kneeled infront of his unmoving figure. "Taehyung!" I said, shaking him up but he doesn't move. I began panicking, immediately thinking the worst.

"Kim Taehyung get up there!" I shouted lightly with concern lacing my voice. "This is not funny, Tae. Get up now. I swe--" I let out a shriek when he shot up and pulled me on the ground with him.

"Not funny, huh? How about this?" He climbed on top of me and began torturously poking my sides making me squirm and laugh underneath him. "Is this fun now, kitten? Hmm?"

"Oh my God! Taehyu-- stop! Tae, stop!" I laughed, getting breathless but he doesn't stop. "Holy-- stop! Kim Taehyung, stop!" I was laughing my guts out until he stopped with a satisfied grin in his face. I playfully punched his chest. "I hate you."

"Oh no, you don't." He rose up pulling me with him.

"I can't wait to graduate." I sighed as I stood straight and began to fold my clothes.

"What are your plans after graduation?"

"I'll go find a decent job, save for myself, get out of this place, and build a studio." I stated right away as if it's just that easy. "Hey, Taehyung?"

"Yes, babe?" He respond, my heart picking up speed at the petname.

"At my graduation, you'll be there, right?" I asked him as I shy away. I never ask things from Taehyung so it is quite unusual for me to do this. He knelt down infront of me and gathered my small palms in his huge ones.

"I'll be there. I promise." He gave my nose a peck, making me beam at him. We began packing a little more serious this time, making it into the third shirt before we're plopped down infront of each other and thumb wrestling. Turns out, he packs well since he's used to travel a lot when he was alive.

"Is Hobi coming with you?"

"Yeah. You like Hoseok too much." I pouted with a laugh.

"He's nice, Y/N. You're lucky to have him." He commented. I laughed as I slowly succeed in tucking his thumb underneath mine. Geez, his fingers are long.

"Why does it sounds like you like him more than me?" I asked with a pout. He looked at me for a second then resumed wrestling my poor thumb with his.

"I don't. I just appreciate him for taking care of my angel while I wasn't here yet." He sent a sly wink to my direction making me blush. Little words and actions from him are enough to send me to another planet. I actually never thought that I would feel this much for someone until he came.

Taehyung held my hand tightly as we began hopping off the train. I could feel myself getting nervous for no clear reason at all. I'm pretty sure it isn't for Taehyung since he looks pretty chill beside me. My stomach has been clenching wildly but I try to keep it in. If Taehyung looks fine, then why do I have this unsettling feeling inside me?

"Here's the place where we'll stay." Hoseok said, wrapping his scarf around his neck tighter. The weather is making me freeze since Christmas is almost here.

"Here is where the doctor wants us to stay?" I looked around with wide eyes. The building-- or more like the skyscraper is fucking huge and it looks so affluent.

"The bitch is filthy rich." Hobi said making me chuckle. Taehyung who doesn't seem so fazed and amused with the building, just smiled at me. "I can't wait to meet him."

"You okay, baby?" I asked him. He heaved a sigh and nodded. "How are you feeling?"

"Surprisingly good. Feeling a good sense of familiarity." He stated. "I'm fine, Y/N. Stop looking so troubled now."

"Tae tae, if you're not comfortable here, you can easily tell me and Y/N." Hobi's nickname for Taehyung made me laugh as Taehyung make a face at him.

"I know, Hoseok. Calm your balls down. I'm feeling okay." Taehyung laughed at Hoseok.

"If I wouldn't look so stupid hitting the air infront of these people, I would've done it." Hobi hissed. "But, I'm a very elite person so I wouldn't do that."

"Oh God. Why am I even friends with you?" I asked, palming my face.

"You love me though." Hoseok smiled at me, showing me his dimples.

"Whatever. Let's just get in." I laughed as I tugged my luggage along with me, Taehyung and Hoseok following behind me.

As we made our way towards the lobby, I can't help but feel uneasy. I kept on looking back because I keep on feeling that someone is looking at me. I roamed me eyes with alertness but greeted with nothing harmful.

I'm just being paranoid, right?
