Come My Way (K.TH)

Friends?

"Oh I hope some day I'll make it out of here,
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can fight my fear."

Lovely by Billie Ellish and Khalid.

Taehyung was just standing there.

"Taehyung? What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Look Ash. I'm sorry of what I said to this morning. I really didn't mean to come off as cold, and I actually want to be friends with you now." He said, looking me straighten the eyes. The boy was only wearing jeans and a white T shirt, and he looked so damn fine! But you didn't hear that from me.....

"Can I take you out today? You know as friends?" Asked a blushing Taehyung.

"Yes, you can." I said, I got ready and Taehyung waited for me inside his car.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"To get food, of course." When we arrived, the place looked elegant and fancy.

"Taehyung." I called his name.

"Hmm." He hummed in response.

"This place looks very expensive." I said.

"I know, but I really want to make it up for you, from this morning." I nodded and sat down a for two table. It was covered in a bright white cloth with some beautiful white flowers in a vase. We had a great view too. It was a view of the whole city.

It was really pretty and it was the Perfect timing for the sun set too. I quickly snapped a photo of it on my phone.

"So, how do you like the place so far? I read the reviews on Yelp, and thought you might like it...." Taehyung asked me nervously.

"I absolutely love it. Thank you so much for bringing me here." I said back, gratefully. A male waiter came up to us.

"Hello I'm Jeff, and what will the lovely couple have tonight?" He asked, putting his attention mostly on me, which kinda made me blush.

"Oh, we're no-"

"Hmm, Ash. What would you like my lovely girlfriend?" Taehyung interrupted me, smiling.

"I'll take a chicken noodle soup please." I said, unaware of why Taehyung had just called me his girlfriend.

"I'll take the same, With a soda on the side, also." Taehyung added. When the waiter left, it gave me a chance to talk with Taehyung.

"Taehyung, why did you say I was your girlfriend?" I asked him.

"Well, the waiter said himself that we were a couple and so this restaurant was kinda for couples. Sorry, I didn't mean to weird you out, we're still friends." He explained.

Ouch. That hurt. But why? We are friends. But why do I keep thinking to myself I want to be more than just friends? What is he doing to me??

"Yes, of course. I can't thank you enough for bring me here." I thanked Taehyung again.

"Don't mention it."

Night fell upon us. Everywhere was dark, except for the Moon and stars that lit up in the sky. The city was quiet.

"Today was really fun. I enjoyed hanging out with you, Ash." Taehyung said, breaking our silence, as we made our way to the car, outside.

"Agreed, maybe we should do this more often." I suggested. Taehyung nodded. When we arrived at my house, I got out of his car.

"I guess I'll see you at school, then?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yes, you will. Good night Ashley." He has finally used my full name. My heart was jumping up and down. Taehyung drove away and I unlocked the house with my extra keys, Mark had gave me.

"Hi Mina, where were you?" I asked her, also noticing a few dark spots on her neck.

"Oh nowhere, just at a friend's house." She replied casually, just playing with her pink acrylic nails.

"And does it so just happen that your 'friend' gives you bites on your neck like a vampire?" I smirked, her reaction became shocked. Mina tried to cover it up, but I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

"Were you honestly trying to hide that from
Me, Mina? It's more noticeable than a period stain on White jeans."

"Look Ash, I'm Sorry. It just so happened that I was with a boy, and also like you're one to talk, you were hanging out with Taehyung the whole day!" She yelled back.

"How did you know?" I asked her.

"That boy was Yoongi. He told me you guys were going out as like friends or something. He's the boy I like, and we kinda have a thing together." Mina said, embarrassed.

"Aww, so that's why you introduced me to him!" Mina nodded.

"So, how did your little hang out with Taehyung go?" Mina asked me.

"It was really good. The view and food was amazing, I wish I could back with him again." I said, sighing.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*🔸🔹🔸~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After my friendly date with Ash, I dropped her off home. I flopped down on my bed and sighed. Yoongi entered my room, unexpectedly.

"Hi Tae, how was your date with Ash?" He asked. I got up from my bed, now sitting on it.

"It wasn't a date, Hyung. It was really good, but It was just a hangout between friends." Yoongi scoffed.

"Yeah right. Does friends take them Out for a fancy couples restaurant?" Yoongi smirked.

"I'm telling you, we're just friends and nothing else. Don't make it awkward. Also, who was that girl at that party?" I changed the subject.

"That was Mina, my girlfriend. She's Ash's older sister"

"She's what?!" I yelled.

"Ash's older sister." Yoongi repeated. Mina, Yoongi said girlfriend was Ash's sister. Wow, she never told me that....

I thought about Ash through the whole night. Are we even friends? I mean, does she even feel something between us? Why can't I control my feeelings? Didn't I promise myself I wasn't going to love anyone else? Does that person Yoongi told me about so happen just to be Ash? My actual love? Why is this so confusing.......?
