[15+] Sweet as hot chocolate [Y/N x Kim Taehyung] Playground

Part 6 - Made of glass

Standing on the opposite sides of the heavy door, you cannot hear anything about what is being said on the other side. You feel relieved as you see that Simon is approaching Taehyung in a non-aggressive manner. Although you haven't believed that he would do something bad, you still remembered when he last saved you, and once again questioned how he had managed to make the group of young men leave without any further trouble.

Watching them stand there, it is impossible to get an impression of what is going on, until...

You lean heavy towards the door and feel as your weight becomes too much for it.

Too late you try to catch your balance, and you let out a soft 'umpf' as the door opens enough for you to fall through and land on the floor.

"What was that?" You hear Simon's voice. "Y/N?"

You don't know whether to get up or to stay and bury your head like an ostrich. You sigh, even though it would have been nice to disappear through the floor now, it won't do any good - they already know that you were there.

So, getting on your feet, you dust yourself off and take a deep breath trying to collect yourself.

"Are you okay? I thought I heard something fall." Simon asks as he looks at you - clearly asking why you had come out as well.

"Oh," you scratch the back of your neck as you let out a nervous laugh. "It was nothing much - just knocked over some stuff, that's all. It's all good though."

"Your knee." Taehyung's deep voice shivers through the air, and before you can react, he has gone down on his knees in front of you. Inspecting your knee, he then tilts his head up to face you.

A flutter in your heart makes you draw your breath, but soon bite down on it as you remember that he is not yours to have.

A small smile plays in the corner of his mouth, and even though you try to resist, you cannot help but smile back at him.

His soft fingers are tracing around your knee; making sure not to touch your scrape. It is nothing serious, but the way he's looking at it, one would think that you were made of glass and would break by the smallest misplaced touch.

"What are you doing? Is it bad?" Simon walks over to you. He looks down at your knee but then shrugs. "It doesn't seem to be anything too bad."

Looking up at the other man, you see a determination in Tae's eyes. "We should still make sure that it does not get infected." He looks back at you. "Is there any first aid kit close by, Y/N?"

"I-, Yes-" You begin, but get cut off.

"I can do it." Simon cuts in. "It's my job as she is my colleague. You are a guest, and so it is not your problem to deal with."

"Simon..." You shoot a glare over at him, telling him to back down. You know that he only wants the best for you and to make sure that nothing happens to you, but this is different. You look back at Tae, and your eyes soften as soon as you lay your eyes on him. "It's okay... He's... okay."

You see a small flicker in Taehyung's eyes - hurt maybe, but you cannot be sure.
