middle journey

to the place of no return.

so far, these were the possible reasons taehyung had compiled to help himself understand why he was crushing on a certain girl group member:

• everyone yapped about her like she was some goddess that came down from the heavens and stopped a tsunami from hitting their village or something. they talked about her as if she was their saving grace. from his friends and staff and even to jimin; they all spoke so highly of her and the image he now has of kim jisoo is influenced by them.

• from what he's observed, they were right. she was nice and she had a great personality. she was quirky and bursting with attitude. she smiled with her eyes and her expressions were always so sincere and genuine. most idols tend to overdo it, but not her. not kim jisoo.

• her voice. it was sweet yet hoarse, it was soft yet powerful. taehyung's heard of her adlibs. her "hidden vocals" in songs that got fans appreciating her more. she had a voice he wanted to sing a duet with.

• she made him want to look at her. it was like she was a magnet, and taehyung was unfortunately made of pure metal. may it be on stage or off stage, he always finds himself looking.

• she wasn't pretty. snsd's yoona was pretty. twice's nayeon was pretty. jun jihyun was pretty. song hyekyo was pretty. but jisoo, she was obviously something else. she wasn't pretty, she was beautiful.

• the first time they met really left an impression on him.

his hand held the back of his phone, he was pressing it tightly against his ear and was sweating even when the air conditioning was on. his other hand twitched by his side and his mouth didn't stop blabbering. he couldn't stop blabbering.

"i didn't mean to call, i just pressed it and it's probably like afternoon there and you might be busy and i may just be disturbing you. i really didn't mean-"

her laugh cuts him off. it sounded so clear, like she was right there next to him. "it's fine. you didn't interrupt anything."

he stops talking and starts nervously chewing his bottom lip. "oh, well, i-"

"what time is it there?"

taehyung looked at the digital clock on his bedside table. "umm, 2 in the morning?"

she laughs again. "you're not sure?"

he automatically facepalms. "yeah, i mean, no, i'm sure."

"you're having a comeback soon. you're the one who's busy, v."

he sits on the edge of his bed, thinking of what to say next to her. "well, everything's finished. we fly back to korea later, and tomorrow, they're going to release the mv." that was an okay reply, at least he didn't trip over his own words or stammered or made a fool of himself even more.
