What Happened in France | K.T.H.

c h a p t e r 2

Me and my dad finish our dinner and head back to our hotel.

I was in my room, laying down as I was thinking about the guy i just met.
Taehyung.

I take the napkin out of my pocket and read the number.

I grab my phone from the stand and typed in the number.

It rang for a while so i was about to hang up. But the call was answered.

"Hello?" A deep voice answers.

"Hey Taehyung..."

He gasps "Jimi!"

"Yeah... Um did I just wake you up?"

"Yeah but its fine."

"I'm sorry."

"Awe. You sound so sweet. But don't be sorry. I was waiting for you to call me all night."

"Uhm... Do you live near that restaurant?"
I ask

"I do. In an apartment. Its next to a hotel."

"Oh. I know what your talking about. I'm in one of those hotels right now."

"Do you want to meet...?"
He asks

"Um..."

"Hey. You don't have to."

"I'll meet up."
I say

I hear him chuckle so cutely in the phone.

"Okay. Meet me at the restaurant. Take your time. I'll wait as long as it takes."
He says

"Okay. See yah."

I hang up the phone and grab a coat then put on my shoes.

I head out the door and walk to the small restaurant.

At the door, i see him.
He was right next to a street light. He wore his long coat with a hat.

I walk up to him and he smiles as he sees me.

"Did i take too long?" I ask

"No no! I just got here."
He says

"I want to take you somewhere."
He says

"Mm... Okay."

He grabs my hand and runs as his other hand on his hat to stop it from blowing away.

I ran with him, wasn't too far.

We ended up at the beach.
It was beautiful.
The moon was right above the water and it made the water shine.

We held hands as we stood there on the sand.
Listing to the waves crashing.

Taehyung looks at me and looks straight in my eyes.

"Your eye glisten from the moonlight."
He says

He was close to my face and he moves the hair from my face.

We sat a little close to the water but didn't get wet.
We talked for a while.
We just sat there and he holds my hands again.

"What is your last name Jimi?"
He asks

"Lee. And you?"

"Kim."

He sits in front of me and looks all around my face.

"You have had sad things in your life Jimi. Right?"
He asks

I look down slowly nodding my head.

"How could you tell?" I ask

"Because I am studying your face right now. And I could tell a side of yours isn't so happy."
He says

He gets closer to me and rubs my cheek with his thumb.

"My mom left me. At 11 years old... She wasn't so happy with me or my dad. And said mean things. And used us."
I say

"Is your dad happy to have you?"
He asks

"Yes. He does alot for me." I answer

"Could I be... Your friend Lee Jimi?"
He asks

"Yes Kim Taehyung."

He sits beside me and I rest my head on his shoulder.

"Can you speak Korean?"
I ask in Korean

"Yes." He says

"Good. Because French is not my first language."
I say

He chuckles and puts his hand around my shoulder.

We continue talking in Korean since its easy.

"Were you born here?"
I ask

"No. I was born in Korea. Like you were. But I came here last summer."
He says

"Do you have a family?" I ask

He sighs. "I do. I have my mom but she is working in Korea right now. That's it."
He says

"What happened to your dad? Y-you dont have to answer..."
I say

"He left before I was born."

"Sorry..." I say

I put my hand on his leg.

"Its fine..."

We laid down on the sand.

I put my head on his chest as he has his arm wrapped around me. And his other arm behind his head.

I wrapped my arm around his torso as we fell asleep on the beach.
