I COMPLETELY FROZE, UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. I was so shocked that it was like my brain had completely shut down, everything going blank. Taehyung was kissing me. He was really kissing me. This wasn't a figment of my imagination or a dream. This was real and this was really happening. I didn't know how to respond. I mean, how did someone respond in this type of situation? Did I kiss back? Did I push him away? What do I do?
My mind was spinning. I stood there, as stiff as a board. This didn't feel right. It didn't feel like I thought it would. When I imagined myself kissing Taehyung, I imagined a kiss that would make me melt, one that would leave me gasping for air and weak in the knees. Instead, it felt wrong. Maybe it was because I was in shock? Maybe the reason why it felt weird was because he took me by surprise? Surely that had to be it. Right?
Jungkook's face flashed in my mind and I immediately pushed Taehyung away, the force causing him to stumble back a few steps. He stared at me, eyes wide with confusion and, I realised, fear. "Ellie, I—"
I held my hand up, cutting him off. "Don't. . . just don't."
"I'm really sorry. I know I should have said something sooner. I should have just told you how I felt instead of being a coward." He grasped his head in his hands and tilted his chin towards the sky. "God, I'm such an idiot. I'm so sorry, Ellie."
I wrapped my arms around myself, a cold chill tearing along my spine. "Can we just forget about this?" I was numb all over now, my brain barely registering what I was saying. "We just need to forget that this ever happened. We need to pretend that everything's fine. We need to go back to the way things were. We need to—"
"I can't," he rasped. "Ellie, I can't. I can't pretend this never happened because I feel the same way you do. I know that the timing is fucked up, but hell, I couldn't keep it secret any longer. It was killing me. I know that I should have told you sooner and I'm so sorry. Please, just tell me how I can make this better?"
I finally met Taehyung's gaze. The regret was written all over his face, his expression matching the emotion in his eyes. This was all happening so fast. My brain was still struggling to catch up with reality. I was still locked in my fantasy world, living a delusion, as the man I had feelings for stood across from me, pouring his heart and soul out to me. Everything that I'd put myself through - all the pain, all the sadness, all the suffering and the grief - I finally had the chance to put an end to it all. I could finally put to bed all the sleepless nights and the days spent wallowing in my own self-pity. I could finally have the life I've always dreamed about.
