9: Thank You

Taehyung's POV

I was still outside. I liked it here in the fresh air. That's when I noticed everyone leaving.

I told Jungkook that I'll be back later. And went on to follow Jennie. She was with the girls until they reached her dorm.

I went on to knock on her door. After about 3 knocks, she finally opened the door. She was rubbing her eyes, and she had already changed into her one-piece black satin night wear.

"What do you want?" She said.

"You shouldn't be opening the door for anyone like this in the night" I said.

"Ok bye then" She said and again closed the door.

"Yah, Kim Jennie! Open the door" I yelled.

"Arghh... Don't shout fool" She said, immediately opening the door again.

"But I'm serious you know"

"I already know that besides I saw you through the peephole" She said and she sounded tired.

"Umm... Okay. So..."

I looked at her face. She was leaning on her door, closing her eyes.

"Yes I'm listening" She said again.

"Oh yeah, Congratulations" I said.

She opened her eyes and gave me a questioning look.

"You already congratulated me" She said.

"I know but..." I couldn't find the right words.

"Do you want to come in?" She asked.

"Wh-why?"

"Don't be flattered. It's for me. I can't stand here anymore. My legs are weak" She said.

And I entered into her dorm. It was a cute place, with many soft toys and plushies. The place was well organised. It was warm and cozy.

There was a picture of her and her mother. She was smiling whole heartedly there. How much I have missed that smile since so long.

Her drawings and artworks were also hung on the wall. Those were so fascinating.

"Did you draw these?" I asked.

There was no answer. I turned only to find her already asleep on the couch.

A Beauty. That was the word for her. She was just sleeping there and I could risk everything for her.

I went near her and gently lifted her up, she dodged a little but she was still asleep. I felt the urge again but this time I was able to control it. I slowly placed her on the bed and snuggled her with the blanket.

Then I placed the big Teddy bear plushie beside her. I knew she had a habit of hugging her pillows or plushies while sleeping. A childhood habit actually.

I locked the door from inside and then left through the window.

Jennie's POV

I wake up and immediately a smile makes its way in my lips. It's the celebration tonight!

I get freshened up and changed into some comfy clothes. I and the girls had decided to skip classes that day. We were all so tired too.

I went on my phone, Lisa had sent a lot of pictures from yesterday's events.

Speaking about yesterday. Taehyung paid me a visit yesterday night, didn't he? Wait,

Why was he here?
When did he leave?

I slowly started recollecting everything.

"I fell asleep... Shit!" I blurted out.

Then I figured out things, Did he put me in my bed?
Ah... Ofcourse he did.

But surprisingly, I wasn't annoyed about it at all. A boy lifted me up and put me in my bed. I should be getting mad, shouldn't I? But no, I wasn't. In fact deep down I thought it was a sweet gesture. A thoughtful and sweet gesture.

Then I heard a knock on my door. I don't know why, my mind immediately thought of Taehyung. When I opened the door, I found Lisa standing there.

"Good morning Jen! Wanna go for a walk?" She asked.

"Good morning Lali and Sure!" I replied.

I locked the door and we went to the nearby park. Lisa was saying things but was I paying attention? No. I just couldn't get my mind off about what Taehyung did yesterday.

Everyone was present in the park. Jisoo and Rosé, JK and the boys, even Taehyung.

I have to thank him, I thought. I just have to.

He was taking a run with Jimin. I waited for him to come near the fountain area, where we all were sitting and talking about random stuff.

Both of them finally returned, Jimin came near us but Taehyung sat on a bench which was at a little distance from the fountain area.

I swiftly made my way towards the bench. He sat lowering his head, he was sweating and breathing heavily. I sat beside him.

"Hey!" I said.

He noticed me. "Hey"

"You came to my dorm yesterday?"

"Ye- Yeah. Just to congratulate you" He said.

What? Did he really think I wouldn't know?

"Thank you" I said.

"You're welcome" He replied.

"No like... Thank you for what you did yesterday night"

He paused for a bit and stared at me. He was definitely a little taken aback. Then he nodded and smiled at me, a genuine smile.

My heart felt something.
