"And you know she was so adorable...she had chocolate syrup smeared on her dress. She had made that shake for me." Taehyung said as I watched him happily talk of his sister as we sat near the window of the café watching the snowfall.

We never talked much about our families because we didn't need to. But since he was in a very good mood , I couldn't help but ask the reason.

"But why did you leave dinner in the first place?" I asked to which his smile faded.

"Nothing..it was just a trivial matter. Nothing to be concerned about." He said as he again smiled but this time I knew he wasn't smiling out of happiness it was fake.

"Ok..if you say so." I smiled back.

He intertwined his fingers with mine as he took it to his lips and kissed the back of my hand.
I couldn't control my smile as he kept kissing it.

"You know I love you Eve, right?" He asked with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

Why is he asking me this suddenly?

"Of course...and I love you too." I said as I scrunched my nose.

Suddenly his phone rang and his happy expression darkened. He clenched his teeth for sometime when he left my hand and took the phone. He looked at me for a moment before excusing himself for a bit.

I nodded as he walked away to a distance and talked in the phone. I sipped my coffee as I watched the snowfall. As my gaze followed the tiny crystals falling from the sky , my eyes stopped on a figure.

"Lisa..."

I watched as she was smiling while looking at the café. She turned a bit when I realised she was in the phone. I watched as she happily talked on her phone and then started walking away.

"Hey.." I looked back up to find Taehyung sitting down.

"I think I will have to go." He said making sure his regret of leaving her early on date was visible.

She smiled back sadly but then erased all specks of disappointment by her toothy smile.
Hugging him , she bid him farewell.

"Yoongi was clutching onto my hand the whole time we watched the movie. He was literally hiding behind me. I think I will always watch horror movies when we go movie night. Hell ... I will order tons of horror movies online."

Jisoo kept saying how her day out with Yoongi was. I was more than happy for her. The guy on whom she had a crush was her boyfriend and he loved her so much.

Although Taehyung has been leaving off early on dates and outings but he always made sure that I went back home happy. I was content with him being with me , hugging me and kissing my forehead which had become his region of affection ever since he had confessed his love for me.

I loved him too much and I was scared out of my wits. As much as I trust him , my heart still beats irregularly whenever the thought of him leaving me crosses my mind. And that thought doesn't just come once or twice. It comes to my mind everytime he leaves.

"Evie..? You fine?" Jisoo interrupted my chain of thoughts.

"Hmm..? Yeah..yeah.." I assured as I plastered a smile on my face.

That smile. Under which I hid all my sadness, my disappointment, my pain , my anxiety, my restlessness , my fear. The fear of losing someone again after giving them my whole heart. All submerged under the facade of a simple curve. A smile.

Jisoo smiled back as she patted my hand and went to the kitchen to bring out the dessert that she had been hiding from me since last weekend because she knew I would eat it all.

Ting.

My phone vibrated. I looked at the time.

12:23 am.
It's quite late.

I opened my phone to find a message in my inbox from the number I had been receiving death threats. But this time it wasn't a threat. It was something else.

"Evie..which flavour would like to have?" Jisoo shouted from the kitchen.

"Choco !! Ji..I am just going to use the washroom. I will be back. Don't turn on the movie." I yelled back as I scurried into my room and closed the door.

I sat on my bed and opened the message and I so wish I had not opened it.
