Stranger feelings ✔️

#10

The plan to my parents lab was sudden. The idea just popped up out of the blue. We did not have a better option.

My parents too were working on mutations. If I am fortunate enough, I will get the exact records that I am searching for. But like I know, luck isn't always in my court. I might have to pay a prodigious amount for getting that luck and I hope it's worth it.

It was twilight by the time Taehyung and I exited the lab. The sky wore a shade of dusty pink embroidered with shades of purple and vibrant blue, making the moment even more memorable. The evening sunlight hitting Taehyung, making him look extra-ordinarily handsome. I couldn't help but steal a few glances at that mole on his lower lip.

How would kissing him feel like...

Out of the blue, Taehyung turns in my direction and raised his eyebrows with a slight smirk on his face. I couldn't help but be flustered at his sudden cockiness, making me shift my glance from him.

"T-today is a scorching day," I stuttered.

"Are you felling well? It is winter," he chimed.

Oh!

"Hana, why do we use air-conditioner in this cool weather?" he inquired.

I took a deep breath, satisfactorily, and answered," our lab has many samples that need to be preserved at low temperature. We need to maintain the interior with a stable temperature for better results"

I am relieved that he forgot my sudden flustering.

"You look like you did something bad,", he commented.

I stopped dead on my track, waiting for his explanation.

"Pardon, I think you are guessing things,", I corrected.

He shook his head in dismay and emphasized," later that day when I went out with Jimin and Jungkook, they said so. When people does something bad, they will act nervous. You were acting nervous a few moments ago. Come on, say what you wronged."

I eyed him from top to bottom and grunted," how dare you accuse me of something that I haven't done" and walked away with more speed.

He followed me and accused," where you, perhaps, thinking about doing something to me?" with a confident smirk on his face.

I could feel my palms getting sweaty at his sudden question.

"N-no", just a word and I ran at full speed to my room.

I could hear laughing behind me which made me want to stop on my track and go hide somewhere none could find me.

Reaching my room panting, I went towards the kitchen to get a glass of water only to be treated by Shenaya and Jungkook with their faces barely inches apart.

"Yah, no kissing in my household. Go to your lab or get a room. Not my kitchen,", I shouted at the top of my lungs.

Jungkook, as if someone knocked on his head, widened his eyes and ran out with full speed. I could see Shenaya with an equally flustered look as Jungkook had.

"What was that all about?" I questioned her.

"I- He- Huh! Forget it. I will explain later,", she stated.

"Why in my kitchen out of all the other rooms?". I asked her with sorrow in my voice.

"I TOLD YOU I WILL EXPLAIN LATER", she shouted at the top of her lungs and stomped out of the kitchen.

"Yah! What did I wrong?". I grumbled.

It was by seven in the evening. Usually we had our dinner by this time as we had a lot of works to be done for the next day.

I decided to make my rumbling stomach shut and went toward the kitchen. Shenaya's room was en route. I didn't miss peeping a glance in that direction only to be greeted by a locked room.

"Did she go out?," I mumbled.

Opening the refrigerator, I took out the instant soup packet. Yes, I survive on instant-whatever's. What more do you expect? We are top-notch scientists of this age.

Boiling the water and emptying the content inside the packet, I thought about the incidents that took place today. From me having a feeling to kiss Taehyung to Shenaya almost kissing Jungkook. This will be marked as the strangest day in history of my life.

That Taehyung laughed did not skip from my mind. Something which I longed for a few days to be heard.

Taking out the boiled content from the pot and serving it in two bowls for her and me, I placed it on the dinning table and went to my room to take my Orthrox. By the time I came back Shenaya was already seated on our sofa waiting for my arrival.

"I am sorry", she confessed.

I couldn't help but laugh. It was not because she apologized, rather it was because of the expression her face held while saying those words, as if she drank a bottle of acetic acid (yeah! its vinegar).

"Forget it. It's me who should apologize for interrupting your kiss,", I replied.

"I should have said to you earlier but, it's better late than never,", she said in a serious tone.

"Now you are scaring me. Don't tell me you are prego with a kit,", I questioned.

She had a serious look on her face.

"Are you? You might be,", I confirmed.

Her face scrunched at my remark and looked around the room as if searching for something.

"You won't make me finish a sentence. The Infatuation Station paired us both. It was yesterday evening when we both got notification to date for a month to check our compatibility and then a Lee Hana over here wants me to get prego with my date,", she chortled.

"Oh! He got his first date?" sadness dripping each word was an understatement.

Yes, I was sad. We both made our projects together, and he got his date whereas mine is still in need of some care.

"Don't sulk, we'll make Taehyung better. If he had feelings, I bet he would have kissed you a hundred times by now and I'm saying this because of his behavior when he is with you. Kook was also saying something about him feeling better when he is with you," her reply to the point.

"We were planning to go to their lab tomorrow. I want you and your Kook to be with us to find the records,", I demanded.

"Oh- Okay", she answered as we started to empty out the content in the bowl.

I gave a knowing glance and sang, "Shenaya and Jungkook sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G"

She stomped off the room shouting, "run before I get a knife."

My laughter echoed the room. Who knows what are the strange findings we will encounter tomorrow. Let us hope for the best.
