A satisfied sigh exits through my lips as I smile proudly at the newly decorated room that resulted in yet another week to fly by.

Flashback

"Let me turn that room down the hall into a room for Taehyung."

Jin gapes at my bold favor. Taehyung blinks several times at me, not expecting this sudden request.

"Ah Minseo I don't-"

"And why would he need to live here with you?" Jin cuts off Taehyung, eyeing him suspiciously.

"He's struggling with money at the moment and is being evicted from his apartment soon. I thought maybe he could stay here while he gets back on his feet?" I explain smoothly to Jin. He purses his lips and glares at Taehyung sitting beside me.

End of Flashback

"You really didn't have to do this.." a voice expresses from behind me. I turn to see Taehyung standing in the doorway of his new room. I shake my head and smile in determination.

"I owe you this after you have listened to all my ranting.. and for comforting me while I was down. I know it must've been exhausting.." I chuckle, thinking back to how Potato was always constantly there.

He looks away quickly. I thought maybe I had caught a glance of the pink hue across his features.

"It really wasn't that big of a deal.. you just needed someone. That someone ended up being me.. who was in the form of a cat." He chuckles and walks further into the room, glancing around.

"Do you like it?" I ask, a little too eagerly. He shows me his box-like smile that I've been noticing more recently.

"I love it. Thank you, Minseo."

My heart flutters at the sight of his genuine smile.

He sighs as he sits on the bed.

"Comfier than the couch right?" I chuckle as he smiles shyly. I sit next to him, watching his side profile as he scans the room. "What's your favorite genre of music?"

He looks at me with a small smile at my sudden question. I blush under his gaze and look away.

"O-out of curiosity. I mean we will be living in the same apartment so I thought maybe I should know some basic facts-"

"Classical. I really like classical." He replies casually as if I didn't just embarrass myself with my rambling. I purse my lips and take out my phone, typing in the first piece that comes to mind. He perks up at the sound of the music.

"You like this piece..?" I say referring to the classical piece by Beethoven, 'Moonlight Sonata". He nods and bites his lip as he gets immersed in the music.

I watch him with a smile of amusement as he pretends to play the piano with the song. His eyes are closed and his hands are dancing in mid-air.

Taehyung has become close to me. He has listened to me whenever I had a concern. It's only been 2 weeks since he's turned human but I feel like I can rely on him already. He's not afraid to be goofy around me. He always succeeds to make me laugh. He's my best friend.


(Taehyung's actions^^)

I nibble on my lip as I watch his expressions from the side.

I wonder if that's how he would reaction if I were to..

I gulp and shamelessly glance down between his legs. A small pit is felt at the bottom of my stomach.. something I'm foreign to. It's not a pit that you get from anxiety though.. this is.. different.

I don't notice when the song is ended and he is laying back in the bed, his body stretched out comfortably.

I lick my lips when I notice the small bulge in his pants.

Suddenly I get the feeling that someone is watching me. I glance at his face to find him smirking at me shamelessly. I gulp and blush, hiding my face with my hair.

"I-I should probably go make some dinner.. I'm starving." I state as I hastily get up to exit the room.

"Bet you are. You haven't eaten in a while." I can hear the teasing in his voice.

Is it just me or are my legs more weak than normal?

I gulp and continue walking, ignoring his comment. That man knows what he is doing.

My face burns in embarrassment as I realize that he just caught me checking him out. But it's fine.. right? It's natural for a woman to be attracted to a handsome man. There was no contact. So it's fine. It's not like I'm actually going to act on my thoughts.

My blood runs cold.

Right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sit in awkward silence with Taehyung as we eat dinner. He seems to be in a happy mood while I'm over here struggling to control my hormones.

"Have any dessert?"

I nearly choke on my rice.

This boy really just..

About to curse him out for teasing, I look up and hold my tongue. I realize that he's innocently serious about his question. I blush at my ridiculous dirty thoughts and nod.

"I should have some chocolate strawberries that Hoseok brought over.." I mumble quietly and get up to retrieve said dessert. I glance back, half expecting him to be staring back at me as I get up.

But he's not..

Ah.. why should I expect anything? It's not like I like him.. Right?

I laugh at myself. Imagine me liking my cat. But.. my cat is a handsome and attractive man.

"Aish.. I'm going insane here." I huff as I take out the container of chocolate strawberries Hoseok gave me. I place about 6 on a plate and put the rest away before walking back to the table.

Taehyung looks up at me with a childish glint in his eye, his eyes squinting as his mouth forms a rectangle.

How can this man have such a duality? One minute he looks as if he's about to take your soul and the next he looks like an adorable 5 year old that you want to steal for yourself.

I munch on a strawberry as Taehyung enjoys his dessert. My heart flutters at his happy expression. I've never felt this lightness since Jungkook.

Could I have a one-sided love..?
