PHASE

8

TAEHYUNG'S POV:
I was scared out of my wits... It's him... The same person I've been running away from...
My damned luck...
Okay, just... Act normal... Wait... Is he?... BLUSHING?!...
Okay so... I've gotta say something. . . . . . . .
Say something damn it!!!...

"U-Umm..." I averted my gaze as I tried to avoid the awkward tension that had began sparking up in the air...
...

"So..." We both said at the same time...

"Sorry... You go first." We both said... Again... I look at him still a bit shocked that our words were still in sync with each other's...

His eyes were focused at his feet... It was terribly cute... I resisted the urge to coo at him and hug him as I quickly looked away from the ethereal sight before me...

"M-My name is Jimin, it's nice to meet you again..." He extended his hand for a handshake as he smiled at me...

T-That smile... Damn it! Not again... And he isn't even giving a full one... So... What'll I do with myself when he goes full bazooka on me?...
...
Still... Somewhere inside me... I felt an urge... The need to see those cute puppy eyes crinkle up into a half moon...
...

"My name's... Taehyung... But... You can call me... Tae..."
I returned the handshake with the strongest facade I could muster at the time...
And I gave him... A smile...
I watched as surprise hinted with a bit of familiarity slowly colour his features...
