Stranger feelings ✔️

#8

I just got a few minutes to freshen up myself before the hybrid squad raided my room in search of explanations. The looks on the five faces were enough to make me clumsy. Watching on each of my movements, like studying me.

"Hana, don't run about beating the bush. Say what the problem is", Seokjin asked.

All had the same question, for which Seokjin acted as the spokesperson. What happened in the testing room that made Taehyung drift away from everyone.

Till now Jungkook and Jimin, who were running behind Taehyung, haven't returned. Things are literally everywhere like spilled milk and I don't know where to start with.

"I don't know from which end I should begin", I replied to their curious gazes.

"What happened in the testing room?" Namjoon asked this time

The five pairs of hybrid eyes and a pair of my sister were on me again. I gulped some water from the nearby water bottle and stared at their faces hoping to find some words.

"They did not certify Taehyung as a human", I replied when I finally got a hold of myself, trying not to break down in front of them.

"They said he lacked emotions", I said with stuttering voice.

"They gave two months to make him a human", I kept on speaking as if I were speaking to myself.

"They did some weird testings on him just to convince me to terminate him", I couldn't hold back the tears, they cascaded.

Shenaya, who shouted at the top of her lungs and threw a pack of tissues from the other end of the room which crash-landed straight on my head," I don't know why you are acting up. Both of us know that you could do this. Then why on the scorching Earth are you crying like this?"

Wiping my tears I stared blankly at her. "What on the volcanoes are wrong with you? Why are you crying like you killed a mosquito?"

"She cries when she kills mosquito?", Hoseok asked curiously.

"Oh yeah! Once when her parents created a new model of mosquito, which could be used to transport serums from labs, I don't know from where she found enough courage to kill it because she thought it was flying syringe. She was about six or seven then", Shenaya finished with a victorious grin.

The room was filled with laughter.

"You guys don't know the number of tears she made that one day", she concluded. "It was fun to watch though", Said like stating her opinion.

"Shenaya, shut up-""and dance" Seokjin completed. What is wrong with these people today?

"Hana, worry not when we are here", Namjoon responded, gaining acknowledging nods from the other hybrids than Yoongi, who was enjoying his slumber on my sofa which started by the time Shenaya finished taunting me with that past memory.

"We will be there with you. We'll do it together", replied Hoseok.

A faint smile lighted my then gloomy face. I had the feeling that I wasn't alone.

"And for your information, if you thought I was going to walk ahead of you when you needed me, I am going to smack some senses to your brain", Shenaya proclaimed.

A loud bang of the door hitting the wall interrupted our just-now-not-so-happy-yet gathering. A Jimin, who was trying to catch his breath was the intruder.

"Hana, he's in your lab now, go speak with him", he conveyed. "And no, I will not come. Someone give me water, please".

I looked up to the six faces expectantly to which I received approving nods.

"Okay then, to the lab it is", I spoke and started walking toward the door, But turned abruptly as if I forgot something.

"What now?", Seokjin asked.

"Food. He must be hungry" I said as I walked towards the kitchen to get some eatables for my hybrid.

"Ask that bunny to return too, would you?", asked Shenaya.

I ran all the way to my lab not caring about the questioning gazes from the guards and other next-door neighbors. The rapid clicks of my shoes resonated with the atrium.

By the time I reached my lab it was already nearing midnight. That might be the answer to the annoying gazes of others. I could see Taehyung sit by my desk, in that faint moonlight, looking ever so divine.

His back bent and the posture quite meek. He was depressed, I know that for sure. Jungkook sat by him in my chair looking up to his eyes so lovingly. Their tender features were illuminated by the faint glimpses of the moonlight that escaped my blinds.

Maybe that was that crack of my knuckles, which do quite often when I don't know what to do, interrupted them, taking their eyes to me. I, along with that one cup of instant noodle walked towards the boys.

"Jungkook, Shenaya asked you to go back to your room and eat some food", I conveyed.

He nodded as a reply and looked at Taehyung ruffling his hair on his way back.

"Be gentle to him", he said and pat my shoulders. I nodded my head in response.

"Taehyung, we'll discuss the things later, first eat up something. It's not healthy for you to skip your food", I extended the cup noodle in his direction. "I am sorry, I didn't get time to make any proper food, adjust with this, for now, I'll make you something when we get back to our room" I completed.

With a long deep sigh, he took the noodle from my hands and gulped it down, leaving me flabbergasted.

"Thank you for the food", he responded.

"Okay, so now, if and only if you are comfortable, please answer my questions, okay?" I asked

He hummed a reply.

"So, will you give me second chance to prove them wrong?", I inquired.

"There are a lot of things that you need to know Hana, but this is not the right time for me to say anything about those. So yes. Now it is my resolution to prove them wrong", he confirmed.

That was easier than I thought.

"What are those things that I should be knowing?" I asked again.

"As I said, it's not the right time, yet", he completed.

"So, can we go back to our room?", I suggested.

"Yes", he answered monotonously.

"About your reconstruction, we will start with them tomorrow", I added.

He bobbed his head to an approval.

The walk to our room was not exactly the quiet one, I respected his state of mind and not bothered to ask any more questions about the testing and his re-modeling.

But that didn't stop him to invade my mind with the most absurd questions, like the whole process of his creation and how I got that definite structure for him and other things.

"Okay, calm your horses now Mr. Taehyung, I swear to answer all your questions tomorrow, I promise", I responded with a hand pushed up against him.

He gave a small giggle as a response. I stopped dead on my track. He giggled.

My project started to show some response even before I started my re-construction.

"What happened? Did you see some weird shadow or something", he asked curiously.

"You giggled", I stated.

"So what", he scoffed.

"Nothing, just let's get to sleep?", I answered in a rather foolish manner.

He stared at me confused and walked ahead leading the way to our room.

There goes my sleep for the whole night because I heard him giggle.
