I Fell for You: Glance

- 11 -

It has been a month now working endlessly, I have more than triple what I'm suffering left, thanks to my supervisor's extra work, I'm working not only with BH now, but also many sub corporations as he begged shamelessly with no benefits at all... my phone is full of job-related chats and tasks to do...

My head and my house are full of the mess too...

And actually, I wasn't aware of how exhausted my life is until someone commented on my sns post of a random streets, stages and fabrics posts with "wow you're living the dream"

At that moment everything was clear and ugly looking

"Ugh, what I'm doing?"

Even the work I was so happy to present to everyone was thrown by Dae like it's nothing...

That's it, I really can't take it anymore I wanted to call my supervisor out of stress to quit but suddenly I closed my eyes and slept

The next day I woke up unaware of my yesterday thought

I opened my phone and saw the time

"I'm late again!"

I skipped breakfast in addition to skipping yesterday's dinner and ran to BH building, ah right, I was tired of this work and wanted to give up...

I filled my head with thoughts, yet I had to check some things for Bangtan comeback with them and the staff

[Tae's pov]

I saw Marie at the shooting, I was happy to see her, we used to see each other almost everyday but not anymore

My mixtape is delayed, I took too long that we had to prepare for our comeback, and in that duration I haven't seen her that much

She looked so distracted today, it's not the way she usually acts, she's being too quiet...

I kept looking at her and noticed that she was holding her stomach tight

the moment I finished my scene I ran to her

"Hey"

[Marie's pov]

I turned back and looked at him with a small smile

"Hey..."

"Are you okay?"

"Huh? so you'll ask me that every time we meet" I moved my hands immediately into my back

He looked worried waiting for my response

"Yeah I'm fine"

"Come with me" He pulled my hand

We sat outside in the booked garden for today's shooting

"Now tell me for real, what's wrong?"

I avoided looking at him, but he kept lowering his head with me to see my face

"Am I making you uncomfortable? am I doing too much again?"

"No no It's fine, can we walk?"

We got up and walked, my stomach hurt but I don't wanna show it, every time I feel the pain I hold my stomach then realize and lower my hands.

Tae looked annoyed, he looks around then looks at me again until he stood in front of me and yelled

"Okay I can't take it anymore, are you out of your mind?!

What are you doing to yourself! you're clearly not okay as you claim, you're getting worse and worse every time we meet, so don't try to lie to me that won't work anymore, Is it your dumb ex again? do you think of him? does he annoy you? I saw you holding your stomach tight and look how pale your face is, you're stressing yourself so much"

"I've been worrying about the work too much that now I have stomach pain, I've been thinking a lot, I work on more than one comeback and no matter how much I try to sleep I just can't feel comfortable, it scares me the idea of not being able to prove myself here, and now he's back too, he's making me distracted and think a lot. I'm too tired to only think about my ex Taehyung"

He looked afraid, he was about to say something but we saw Jimin and the security manager running toward us

"What are you two doing out here? people will take pictures of you are you aware of that?" the manager looking at me

"Sorry" I lowered my head

"No, It's okay I came to cover it up, if the three of us walk together they'll know it's something related to work, though you two... did you become close friends already?

So, what were you talking about?"

"Stop this none sense" Tae was about to leave, but Jimin held both of our arms and we walking quietly

"Oh? You look tired are you okay?"

"A bit, let's go to continue the shoot and I'll take a rest after that"

[—]

I opened my eyes slowly

It's dark and so calm

I saw Taehyung staring at me madly and Jimin sitting next to him

"Why are you staring at me like this?" I looked at Taehyung madly too

"Do you even have the ability to stay stubborn with your condition?"

"Yah calm down both of you!

I'm glad you woke up Marie.

I have to leave you with her as I promised but you have to be kind!" Jimin walked away and closed the door

When he opened the door I heard the hospital noises.

"What?"

Then I quickly realized that I'm in the hospital, I can't remember how I ended up here

"Are you okay?" Tae's expressions changed immediately 

"All I remember is us walking back with Jimin to the building"

"Are you serious? don't you remember anything?!"

[Tae's pov]

I told her that I have feelings for her that day, I didn't mean to say it! it came out of my dumb mouth, back then she was too weak to focus... 

That day I was staring at her a lot and she jokingly said am I that pale?

And I replied "I think I might have a crush on you" with a very serious face

She was surprised but she saw how serious I looked

"Taehyung... do you even consider my feelings as you say you do? do you fall in love with someone even when knowing how bad I'm going through?"

"Do I have to hide it and go through something myself?! didn't you realize how I feel? my heart is filled too, I missed you so much I even thought these feelings were about to explode and kill me!

How do you want me to say I don't like you when I do!!"

"You're the only person who knew what I went through Taehyung!!!"

I was about to say something but Marie quickly got up

"Taehyung I'm really unbothered to talk to you right now, I have some work to do"

At this moment she stood and fainted

[present]

I shouldn't tell her what happened, I was so selfish

"You fainted on your way to the building with me and Jimin"
