BEHIND THE CAMERA || KTH

Chapter 13

I quickly stood up from my hiding place and went inside the washroom as it was beside the last shelf. My heart was beating so fast as if it would come out. I went inside a cubicle and locked it.

There were footsteps resonating in the whole library. I grasped my phone tightly and tried to suppress my whimpers when the person outside started walking towards the last shelf.

I felt like today was the end of me. Many scenarios were going on inside my head and I froze then and there.

The footsteps approached near the washroom's door and my heart sank. I brought my legs near my stomach and started crying softly inside the cubicle.

My body was numb, covered with sweat. Fear became a tangible, living force that crept over me like some hungry beast, immobilising me and my brain, holding me captive.

But the washroom's door never opened, instead the footsteps of a running person were approaching the door.

The door opened and again terror sucked the very breath from my mouth. I took two steps backwards in the cubicle and my back hit the wall. The person outside was banging loudly on my cubicle door and said " Y/N! OPEN UP! IT'S ME! TAEHYUNG!".

I asked myself a redundant question to assure the moment was real. Relief washed over me when I finally realised that I was safe. I twisted the door knob and opened the door to see an anxious Taehyung and not some scary psychopath killer.

We both clasped in a warm, slow and luxurious hug. Our chests rising and falling, our breaths in unison and the warm blood we could feel rushing through our veins in each other's embrace.

Taehyung pulled away and grabbed my shoulders only to see a pale and tired face in front of him.

"I'm glad that you are okay." he let out an exasperating sigh. I gulped a lump on my throat and nodded.

"Yes, I am. Are you okay? Who was outside? A burglar? A kidnapper? A killer?" I bombarded him with my several questions. He panted and looked up.

I looked into his eyes and felt drawn into them. "Calm down. All that matters right now is that you are safe."he said and smiled at me. We exited the washroom and saw no one.

"There was nobody here, Y/N." Taehyung said as he put a hand on my shoulder. "I'm sure there was someone here minutes ago. Even the librarian and a girl and a boy."I replied trying my best that he listens to me.

"I know Y/N. It's okay. You're tired right now. It's been a long day, I'll drop you home, alright?"Taehyung offered.

I still wanted him to believe me but I chose latter. I nodded and we approached his car. The car ride back home was silent and I was just rethinking about what happened in the library.

We reached my house and I asked Taehyung to stay with me because I was scared. Mum and dad weren't home because they had to go to a friend's party and would get home late.

We sat there on my couch, cross-legged, both of us lost in our own thoughts. A fluffy blue blanket covered our legs from the unseasonable cold weather. A few candles and dim light provided brightness to my living room.

The weather outside was very cold. The roads were all misty and my living room window was covered in fog. This type of weather doesn't usually occur in the September month.

"Thanks Tae. Really, I mean it."I said looking towards him with a gentle smile that played on my lips. Both ends of his lips curved up and he grabbed the back of my hand, caressing it tenderly.

"It's okay. No worries." reassured Taehyung. "Hey, Tae. Can I ask you something?"I interrogated, hoping that he would answer my question.

He looked at me curiously and beckoned me to ask him. "That day, at the café when we told Cole that we'd help him, what did you mean by saying 'I know what it feels like to lose a sibling'." I asked sincerely.

"Oh, about that."he said. "I had a brother. He had Ischemic heart disease. My parents and brother knew about this. They didn't tell me about it because they thought I'd be worried. If I knew it, I would've spent every ounce of my life with him. But I got to know about it the day he died which is the worst part. He died an year ago and I'm still trying to cope up with it. I go visit his grave sometimes."he chuckled, trying hard not to cry.

"I-I'm sorry, Tae. I shouldn't have touched such a sensitive topic."I apologised squeezing his hand that was intertwined with mine.

"No,no. It's fine."he replied and stared at me wiping a few stray tears. He leaned forward and it felt like time stopped when his lips touched mine. His kiss was a black hole pulling me in until all gravity is lost under his touch.

My heart decided to skip a beat, the smell of him was hypnotic beyond reason. I parted my lips and felt him washing over like a wave of warmth, curling my toes, unfurling all my senses as the taste of him nearly silenced my thoughts.

I wanted more but unfortunately my phone started ringing and we both quickly pulled away. Both of us ending our kiss with a soft, chu.
