Epilogue

"Quinn!" I stood up from my chair and went to the counter to take my order.

"One french vanilla latte under the name Quinn." The girl said before handing me my drink. I thanked her before stepping out of the café and into the busy streets of New York.

I walk down the path with my latte in my hand and making sure I do not spill any of the content in the process. After a few minutes of walking, I started to see the university building and quickly walk to that direction. I then enter the big gates of Columbia University. Once my drink was empty, I threw the cup into a nearby bin. I saw some students rush to their supposed buildings, chasing the hour before they're late.

I was also running to my class. I surely do not want to be late today since I would be doing a presentation and I feel confident about it. I open the door of my class and placed my bag on the chair beside my friend, Katherine. She looked up from her phone and smiled when she saw me.

"Wow, two minutes early. That's a record." She laughed making me sigh into my seat.

"Haha very funny, Kath." I humorlessly laugh at her comment.

She just giggled before nudging my shoulder, obviously wanting something from me. I ignored her by pulling out my laptop and turning it on. She frowned before slapping my forearm.

"Ow! What do you want?" I snapped at her, though she knows I'm not serious.

"You sure you don't want to come to the frat party tonight? I bet that it would be fun." Katherine tried persuading me.

I heaved a big sigh. "You know I'm not allowed to attend those things."

"Aww...whyyyy?" Katherine whined.

"Taehyung won't allow m—"

"Taehyung this, Taehyung that, stop thinking about him for a second and focus on yourself. Even though he is your boyfriend, he has no rights to forbid you to have fun." Katherine cut me off before going back to her phone, definitely ignoring me.

I wish you knew what we've been through.

I decided to brush it off for the sake of my presentation, but before I could even open the file, the professor stepped in. He eyed all of us while both of his hand layed on the surface of the desk in front of him.

"Quinn Song, you may bring your presentation."

I stepped into the apartment ground, I instantly headed to the elevator and pressed my floor. Once the bell dinged, the elevator opened. I step out and searched for my apartment number. When I'm in front of it, I unlocked the door and enter the spacious place.

I layed my bag on the couch and went to the kitchen to drink some water. I connect my phone to the Wi-Fi before heading to the bedroom to change. Today I just wanted to relax since college was hectic. I spent the day alone since Katherine gave me the cold shoulders because of that cursed frat party. I never intended to lay a foot at that party, I was actually glad that Taehyung didn't want me to go to that party. Since that time when Jungyoon tried to rape me, I never did attend to any parties.

It is kind of lonely when Tae's not here. The place was actually big since Taehyung owned a lot of money. I tried to tell him that we don't need a place this big, but he insisted. I'm starting to miss him, though I don't want to start feeling like this. So I busy myself with my phone.

I know having a relationship isn't easy. Taehyung and I have a lot of our ups and downs. Just how Katherine described, he is now very protective over me since New York is much more dangerous than Seoul. He didn't want to lose me, when I recalled he was the one who is kidnapped and I am the one who tried to fight the bad guy to save his guts.

I sighed and slid down even more into the couch. The feeling of boredom started to consume me. As I took a glance at the clock, it was around seven and the sky was getting dark. I took a deep breath before rising from the couch and to the bathroom to take a relaxing bath.

I prepared the water and even decided to use my bath bombs to set the mood. I turned on the speaker playing a classical music. I stepped into the tub after stripping and layed my head on the cushion attached to the tub. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment.

See, the thing is, I already had a lot of time to focus on myself. Taehyung always leave the apartment early. He sometimes come late doing god knows what. I trust him, so far he didn't do anything suspicious and if he does do anything behind my back, he could just kick me out of the apartment, but he didn't. He still cuddles me when he comes home late and I was already asleep, he attempted to make me breakfast before he leave and I think his cooking skills are getting better and better. Even though he does these little things, I can't deny the fact that we lack some affection.

"Babe, I'm home." The melodious ring of his voice snapped me out of my trance.

I didn't realize I was so quick to step out of the tub and wrapped myself in a robe. I went to the bedroom to change and ran through the hall to the living room. My heart leaped when I see him putting his bag beside mine on the couch.

I smiled before rushing to him. "Taehyungie!"

I jump on him and thank god for his strong arms as he catches me. I wrapped my legs around him, clinging onto him like koala. I can't believe I miss him this much.

"I missed you." I mumbled against his neck.

He laughs and I can feel the vibrations through his body making me cling on him more. He started to walk around the couch and sat down. He totally knows that I have no intentions on letting go.

"You missed me that much?" I nodded. I don't know why I became like this, but just by his voice makes me so happy. It feels like a piece of me has returned.

I know that he is smiling before he kissed my head and hold me tighter in his arms. I missed this so much. Just sitting together in silence.

"What have you been doing?" He asked that made me giggle.

"Aren't I supposed to be the one who ask that to you?" I questioned. "You've been so busy Tae, we barely even greet each other."

"Sorry Quinn, I really want to focus on college this time. Since I missed a lot of classes at high school. I forgot time, and I swear I didn't cheat on you. Everytime I finished my classes I would always think of you on the way home." He started stroking my hair gently. "I even told my professor to go home early today since I miss you so much. I would like to come home to you when you're not out cold."

I smiled before pulling back to look at him. The moonlight illuminates his features making him look ethereal. I love him so much, I just don't know how to stress it enough.

I soon leaned in and my lips met his. He didn't took long to respond. His lips were soft and I dare to say it was sweet. He moves ever so gently careful not to accidentally use his teeth. We both move in sync, savouring the lovely moment.

We both pulled away. Our breaths were the only things we hear. Taehyung then softly kissed my forehead and then went on to my nose. If this was a comic story, I would see hearts in his eyes.

"I love you, Quinn." My heart started to beat fast.

"I love you more, Tae."
