i was reading wuthering heights when a familiar scent invaded my nose. it was so familiar that i felt my chest ache for a fleeting moment before my heart started beating frantically.

kim taehyung brushed his index finger against my nose playfully and i looked up just in time to see his box smile i've always loved to see him do.

oh, sweet heavens i might shit on my skirt now.

“good morning eru.” he greeted and sat beside me. even with our distance, i can still smell his perfume and i am fighting my beastly urge to hug him tight and stick my nose up on his body and neck.

eru, your desires are showing again.

i playfully nudged his arm.
“you're glowing today. you seem very happy.” i commented, lowering my book down, a finger bookmarking the page where i am currently reading.

he looked at me like i was saying a lie.
“oh, eru. stop with the jokes.”

a smile spread across my face.
“what? no. i'm not joking, tae. your face is glowing, not gonna lie. my face today looks puffy so i'm getting jealous now.” i said, looking straight at his eyes.

i've read somewhere online last night that if you talk to your crush and look at him directly at his eyes all while complimenting him will surely make him fall in love with you.

that's why here i am. trying my best to make him fall in love with me.

i. am. trying. my. best.
and if this doesn't work now, i don't know what else will.

i felt my world come to a halt as taehyung raised his hand and tucked a few strands of my hair behind my right ear. i quickly felt my cheeks warm up at the sudden gesture and i found myself completely staring at tae.
“no one glows like you, eru.”

i think my heart is going to explode into a million pieces. good lord.

“t-thanks. for the compliment. appreciated.” i replied as i looked away. as soon as i averted my gaze, i saw jungkook looking straight ahead, jaws clenched.
he seems to be in a really bad mood so i had second thoughts if i should come near him and ask what's wrong.

but if i ask him, will he pour out hell on me?

“kookie,” i said, mentioning his nickname and as soon as he heard it, he looked at my way, facial expression already soft, “what's wrong? are you okay?”

he gave me a half-smile.
“i'm okay, shiba.”

i smiled at his response, hearing his familiar teasing.
“you seem to be in a bad mood just a whole ago.”

“nah. just seen something i shouldn't have seen.”

i nodded my head and didn't ask anything anymore.
so he IS in a bad mood.

i shook my head and slapped myself once.
i shouldn't be too concerned with jungkook because i have to prioritize myself and my relationship with taehyung.

“say, eru,” i hear tae spoke so i looked his way, “are you free after school?” he asked.

“oh, not really. why?”

“we can grab a couple of desserts or snacks then frappes by your favorite coffee shop and watch some movies i have at home. or do you prefer chips and softdrinks?”

my mind cannot process all the words he said because my heart felt like it's gonna explode within ten seconds. i couldn't understand all the unnecessary information in his words and all i could think of was:
‘watch some movies i have at home.’

so, are we gonna be alone in his room?
is this gonna be something r-rated now?

“sure. i'm just gonna ask my parents for permission. you know my parents are strict with these kind of things.”

“what are we gonna watch, anyway?”

“we can choose from my horror/thriller films, my animated films, or my studio ghibli films.”

oooh, nice.
i sure hope it's only tae and i.

maybe, i'd make a move. maybe i won't.

author's note;

it's been a while since my last update. hope y'all are doing okay.
christmas break is just around the corner so i have high hopes i could start updating more unlike in the last few months when uni's started. i just hate uni so much it drains all the remaining life in me.

all the remaining life in me is already deep below average and here comes uni sucking every single bit of it.

i'm not even happily and patiently for graduation day. all i'm thinking about is just to finish this goddamn course and get my goddamn diploma and get the goddamn rest i want. i'm not even kidding. i mean, i wish i was, but i'm not. lmfao

i'm getting old and my back fucking hurts.
