'Click! Click!'

He clicked his fingers in front of his face.

"What is up with you today V? That's the third time you've spaced out!"

Bogum was seemingly annoyed with Taehyung a lot today. He was much put out that he was being ignored by his paramour and he didn't like it, not one bit.

Truth be told, Taehyung was unusually distracted today. His usual, well put together self, was preoccupied with thoughts of one person only....Kim Seokjin. His beauty, his warm eyes, those soft, supple lips that he wanted to devour; even his incredibly crazy laugh, it all conspired to drive him insane. He couldn't concentrate on anything let alone Bogum. He sighed heavily and turned to his lover.

"It's nothing Gummie. I'm just not into it today."

This! Even this, was so not Taehyung! Bogum looked at him sceptically. Something was different about him. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but he was determined to find out.

The set director called their attention to the shoot and Bogum noticed immediately how Taehyung got into character. If anything, Taehyung was a professional. He always gave 110% to his work and Bogum admired him for that.

Bogum didn't have a very big role in this movie; he was playing a supporting role but this scene involved the two of them and some other actors. They got into position and did their takes. After a full day of shooting, Bogum was tired and just wanted to relax with Taehyung. With this intention, he made his way to Taehyung's vanity van only to find that he wasn't there. He located his assistant who informed him that Taehyung had already left and he had no idea where he had gone. He had ditched his bodyguard too.

Now this was serious cause for concern to Bogum. In the last 3 years that he and Taehyung have been together, not once has Taehyung ever left without him. He had to find out what was going on with him. This strange behaviour had to have a cause.

Taehyung's POV

I can't stop thinking about him. He's consuming my every waking moment and even invading my dreams. I've never felt like this before about anyone, not even Bogum. As I race to his little shop, the wind whipping my hair, I feel lightened and carefree. He makes me forget all my daily stresses and pressures. I just have this urge to see him, and then I'll know that everything I've been feeling is right.

As I pull up to his shop, I'm greeted by a young girl in a wheelchair. Wait, I know her. She met me at the premiere.

"Hi, how are you?" I lean down and shake her hand. I'm surprised when she pulls away abruptly. Okay.....I sigh.
I watch, as she crosses her arms in her lap, eyeing me sceptically. It's kind of unnerving actually.

"What are your intentions with my oppa?" She states clearly, giving me the stink eye.

I scoff and sigh heavily, smiling. So she's just concerned about Jin. Well, I can surely put paid to that.

"Believe me when I say, I have no ill intentions towards him. In fact, I like him a lot," I say shyly, shoving my hands into my pockets.

"Do you like him, or do you like like him?" She smirks at me.

Why is she making me flustered? I lean against my car door and gaze at her intently, with a smile on my face.

"I think I like like him. A lot actually. Is that going to be a problem?"
