porcelain doll, chapter 17

lisa was reading a fairy tale book while taehyung was already brushing his hair, fixing himself.

after doing so, he turned to lisa who was into reading the book that she didn't notice taehyung was trying to get her attention.

"lisaaa!" taehyung shouted in a cute voice, lisa then turns her head towards him, "yeah?"

"how do i look?" taehyung questions, spreading his arms as he shows lisa how he looks like.

lisa eyed him from top to bottom, he wore a plain white gucci t-shirt paired with brown shorts, his hair neatly combed, complimenting his handsome face.

"you look good, not bad for a twelve-year-old." taehyung giggled, "thank you! i'll be on my way now, don't read too many books or your head will grow big." he teases, grabbing his bag as he waves goodbye to lisa.

"my head won't grow big though..."

"bye!"

taehyung walked out of his room and suddenly stumbled on his toes, falling face-first making lisa giggle "i'm fine!" taehyung shouted.

but then, taehyung poked his head between his bedroom door, "i almost forgot, mom will be mopping my room later so don't move for a while, okay?" lisa nodded, waving at the boy after, "got it! take care, tae!"

taehyung nodded and left the room, going downstairs and bid goodbye to his parents, "mom! dad! i'll be going now!" he shouted.

"got it, sweetheart! be careful, stay on the sidewalk, and don't cross the street without looking from left to right!" he heard his mom shouted.

"yes, mom! i'll go now, tell dad that i love you both!" with that, taehyung closed the front door and began walking to jisoo's house that was two houses away.

walking by one house, he saw jisoo's figure running towards him.

"taehyung! i'm sorry but we can't do our project at my house, mom and dad have visitors. she's calling your mom now so i decided to walk to your house to tell you." jisoo explained, panting as she reaches the confused boy.

although confused, taehyung nodded as they both walk together back to taehyung's house.

taehyung noticed how jisoo was struggling with their project materials so he grabbed the heavy things and carried them instead, making jisoo blush and flustered.

"thank you." she shyly says, looking away so taehyung won't see her blushing.

"it's alright." taehyung says as they arrived in front of his family's house.

taehyung walked ahead but being a clumsy kid he is, he stumbled on a rock causing the heavy materials to sprawl to the green grass.

jisoo gasps, "oh my! taehyung are you okay?" she worriedly questions while helping the boy stand up.

"i'm fine." taehyung says, slightly embarrassed, "go in first, you can ask my mom where my room is. i'll just get these things." with that, jisoo nodded, excited to see what her crush's room would look like.

"okay!" she says, getting inside the house.

taehyung bends down to grab the cartolinas and illustration boards when he suddenly remembered something.

his eyes widened and quickly ran towards the door, his heart pounding against his chest, "oh no, lisa!"

entering the front door, he saw his mom walking downstairs with a mop, "oh taehyung, jisoo is-"

but then, a loud shattering of thick glass echoed through the whole house.

and taehyung's grip on the materials loosened, letting them fall flat on the floor.
