The next day at school you trade spots with another kid in your class. You had to give them $5, but it was worth it.

All throughout class you notice Tae glancing over at you. You don't spare him one look. If he wants to talk to someone, he can talk to his girlfriend.

You can't help the fact that you still like him. You want him to take you to his little secret spots. You know that you need to push those thoughts out of your head.

Why can't you just be mad at him?

The bell rings and you practically run to the door. You quickly begin putting your books into your locker. Just as you grab your bag you hear a deep voice.

"What'd you do to Taehyung to make him so upset," it wasn't a question.

You freeze and slowly turn around. A man with dark hair and dark dropping eyes stares into your soul.

"I, uh, he used me, so I went off on him, okay?" You say before slamming your locker shut.

You turn around to walk away but he grasps your wrist. You can't seem to wriggle away, so you turn around.

"Please, talk to him, he's making me miserable. All he ever does is talk about you and now he's a mess. I've never seen him like this. So please, do me a favor and—"

"Hey! Yoongi! What are you doing?" A familiar voice asks. Too familiar, it's Tae.

The man named Yoongi sighs and releases the grasp on your wrist before jogging away from Tae.

"(Y/N), look, I'm sorry."

"No, I don't want to hear it."

His eyes look broken. A second later Misun and a group of girls run up to him and Misun clings to his arm.

"Let's go, Tae!"

He wiggles his arm out of her grasp and rubs his right eye. You can't help but feel sorry for him. The look on his face. The sadness.

You scoff remembering that you're supposed to be mad at him. You turn around and walk away.

"Wait, (Y/N)! Wait up! Please!"

You break out into a run and go wherever your legs take you.

You find yourself in a clear road covered completely in leaves and surrounded entirely by tall sloping trees bending inwards.

It's breathtakingly beautiful. You sit on the edge of one of the trees and pull out your phone.

You scroll through social media and you don't notice how dark it's gotten until you see the time. You grab your bag and right when you're about to stand up, you hear a voice speak.

"(Y/N), please, just listen."

It's dark so you can't make out who it is, but you know exactly who it is because of the beautiful unforgettable voice you were talking to just a few hours ago.

You feel him sit down next to you. He sniffs before speaking.

"I don't like Misun. I just asked so that I could see how you'd react."

"Okay, cool so you're trying to get negative reactions from me. Nice(u)."

"No, you've got it wrong."

You squeak out a little "W" before he begins talking again quickly.

"I wanted to see how'd you'd react because..."

His voice trails off and you sit in silence for a good five seconds.

"Because I like you."

You feel a tear fall down your cheek. He likes you.

"Now, can I please try this again?" He asks.

"Try what?"

He doesn't answer. Instead, he gently kisses your cheek. He slowly removes his lips and you can feel another tear fall.

Why am I crying? I'm so weird.

"Tae," your voice breaks.

He wraps his arms around you and he pulls you close into him. You're much smaller than him so he's able to hold you pretty close.

"Let me walk you home. We're both pretty young and alone, so we need each other."

You nod and you feel his hand intertwine with yours.

"By the way, nice spot you found. It's pretty and definitely hard to find."

You smile even though he can't see it.

He walks you straight to your front door and smiles before walking back down the street. You smile to yourself as you quietly slip into your house without making a sound.

When you go to the bathroom, you don't wipe his kiss away. Instead, you touch it lightly with your fingers and look at yourself in the mirror. Tae likes you.

You don't sleep that night. You stay up and think about Tae. The way he smiles, the way he comforts you, the way he likes you. It's so hard to believe that you just have to say it over and over again.

Maybe one day you'll believe it.

He had no idea who you were when he brought you to a safe place. He didn't know your intentions. You want to talk to him more about it, but it's a sensitive subject. Every time you think about your parents, your heart hurts. It's like a dull ache that wakes up every time you think about them.

You miss them terribly. You try not to think about it, but you do and you can't help that.

Hopefully, Taehyung can spark a new relationship in your life. A new thing to be happy about. A new person to... like.

Tae seems like an amazing person. You want to get to know him more. You want to find new little places with him. You want him to walk you home. You want him to understand you.

Before finally drifting off to sleep, you make plans to talk to Tae tomorrow. The fact that you know he'll understand is comforting to you.

You finally feel your eyelids getting heavy after staring at the wall for ages. You let them slam shut and you feel yourself falling asleep.

Tae likes me.
