Fake Love [Completed]

51 | Hope Not

Taehyung smiled at Joy softly before silently turning off his car engine and grabbing his alcohol bottle from the backseat. She was shaking, trembling, but was doing her best to hide it and he seemed to understand.

"Come on." He nodded his head at her in a motion to follow and she silently did. Climbing down the car, she started walking behind him. They trudged through the woods without question before it was brought out into a small waterfall.

"Taehyung," she let her lips taste the words of his name and he hummed as he sat down on the ground. He sighed loudly and stared up at her, taking another swig from his liquor. He passed it to her and she took it from him silently as she cautiously sat down onto the muddy grass.

Taehyung did not seem to care much; he leaned back on his hands and looked up at the stars peeking out between the trees. Joy also leaned back on her hands and turned her head to look at him as he stared up at the sky.

"I'm not sure what to say," his voice breaking the tense silence made her jump. "I never thought I would get to talk to you like this ever again."

"Me too," she shivered at the feeling. She didn't even know why she came here with Taehyung. It just happened and here they were in the middle of nowhere. Just like old times.

"I've dreamed of this moment.... for I don't know how many times.. you know to finally talk to you again," he said, his face shining in moonlight.

'You brought this on us' she wanted to say but couldn't and waited for him to continue. He still didn't look at her though.

"I've missed you," he breathed out. "But I can't bring myself to look at you. Funny. Isn't it?" He said and she gulped.

"What-"

"I want to look at you," he let out a dry laugh and his hands brushed against hers as she felt a familiar feeling rush into her heart. "Can you look away?" he asked.

"Huh?"

"I can't look into your eyes. I need time. Please turn away," he requested and she bit her lip before turning away her head to stare up at the sky. She could feel his stare at her as he tilted his head to look at her.
