Opposites Attract

{29} I Know

"I'll leave now. It's late. Call me if something happens." Jimin asured and left after he helped Taehyung sit on the couch comfortably.

"Do you need anything?" I asked sitting beside him.

"Hmm...A kiss?" He smirked and bent closer to me. I pushed him back and he winced in pain. I noticed a stain of blood on his shirt which he quickly covered with his hands.

"What the....what happened?" I asked worried and removed his hand and shirt to see what's up. He was stabbed. Jimin had treated the wound like a professional and wrapped it in layers of bandages.

"Ahh Areum don't mind that. He missed anyway!" He tried to explain.

"How the hell do you call it a miss when you're literally bleeding?" I scolded putting his shirt back in place carefully. He smiled. And it was not just some random smile. I don't know how to explain but I had mixed feelings. It's like he was happy but sad at the same time.

"What?" I tried to ask but he pulled me by my arm and his lips smashed onto mine. It took time to process but I soon realised he kissed me. And not just that, but he was still kissing me. I close my eyes shut as tight as I could.

His lips were very warm, and not to mention, soft as hell. They moved slowly but swiftly on mine which melted me more and more.

He moved away a little and pushed me back on the couch so that I was now lying down and he was on top of me. He slid one hand behind my head and the other around my waist and doing his business.

After a few more minutes he pulled away and carresed my cheeks. I stared at him blankly still not able to believe what he actually did.

"How can someone be so fucking beautiful? What are you even made of?" He said smiling and stroking my lips with his thumb.

'I'd like to ask you the same Mr. Kim Taehyung.'

"The more I look at you, the more I want to protect you. I want to keep you all to myself. I want to preserve you. And I want to protect you with all that I have." He said without taking his eyes off me.

"Tae-" I tried to say something but he put his lips on mine again. But this time it was just a small peck.

"Don't say anything Areum. Not yet. Please. Let's just be here like this a little longer." He begged. It was like he was sure that I was going to reject his feelings for me. So he just went on and kissing me all night. (No we didn't do more you kinky child.)

The next day I woke up, he was right there next to me. We had fallen asleep on the couch. My head layed on his arm and he held my hand in his.

We occassionally fall asleep next to each other without thinking but my heart never gets used to how pretty his face is when he's asleep. That little mole at the tip of his nose adds so much cuteness to his silent snores.

I stared at his beautiful features while I layed peacefully next to him. I was so lost into him that I never noticed he was staring right back at me. His little breathy laugh brought me back into reality.

"Areum can I ask you something?" He asked in a whisper. I only looked at him letting him continue.

"You only get to say yes and if it is a no then you have the right to remain silent." He giggled because he was speaking as if I was being interogated.

"Do you like me too?" His question caught me off guard.

'Yes I like you. I like you a lot!' I wanted to scream but I couldn't. He likes Areum. Not me. I stared at him sadly while he only huffed out a small smile.

"Got it. Let's go." He said getting out of the couch but I grabbed his shirt to stop him.

"Tae I need to tell you something.." i hesitated.

'There we go Y/n. Don't be afraid. If he truely loves you he will definitely accept you.'

"Hm?" He sat back down holding my hands again. He somehow knows each time when I'm nervous and holds my hands tightly.

"Im not Areum."

*Silence.*

"I'm Y/n. Park Y/n." I finally said it.

"I know." He replied.
