You never imagine that your dream boyfriend is gonna be this person. The annoying one who gives you bad first impression.
It's overwhelming as the time goes by.
Could you guys make it despite the fact that he's a band member with your bestfriend and...
Your phone just vibrate. Signaling that you just receive a call.
Tae Tae's calling you.

"Noona, annyeong~" his raspy voice is greeting you.
"Are you sick, Tae Hyung-a?" you asked him because his voice is raspier than usual.
"Hmm" then he just stay silent.
"Noona will be at your place at 15 minutes. Do you need any specific medicine, Tae Hyung-a?"
"No. It's just because I'm so nervous of tomorrow's event,"
"Ahh ! You'll be moving to a new dorm, right ! OMO! I'm so happy for you ! Have you prepared your clothes for tomorrow?" you get overly excited. Forgetting that he's still sick.
"Yes," he answered with weak voice.
"Mianhae, I just get excited because you finally can debut !!! I'll be there in 15 minutes. Wait for me, Tae Hyung-a. Ok?" you repeat youself.
"Alright. Be safe, noona" he click the phone.
Tae Hyung's been your favourite dongsaeng (little brother) since you're 2 years older than him. He happened to be your junior at senior high school (SHS). You guys met at SHS's annual gathering and got a chance to perform together. From that moment , you both getting close to each other as bestfriend. You guys didn't go to the same major for uni but still keep in touch by visiting each other twice a month.
You finally arrive at Tae Hyung's place with vitamins and strawbery juice, his favourite.
DING DONG !
You rang the bell.
He came up with messy hair and annoyed face as he open the door.

"Tae Tae !!" you half scream as you show the strawberry juice to him.
"Strawberry juice?!!!" he immediately cheer when he saw it and without questioning, he grab the juice in your hand and go straight into the house
"Can I come in?" you ask
"Yes, please" he let you in. The first thing you see was his messy living room with lots of empty snacks bag.
"Ya, Tae Hyung-a! Why can you be this messy," you scold him as you drop your things on the table and start cleaning.
"Noona, you don't need to clean that up. I'll do it later. I've been busy lately, that's why I haven't cleaned up for 3 days," he explain.
"Do you even shower?"
He just scratch his head embarrassedly.
"Ckckckck," you shook your head in disbelief.

He isn't usually this messy. He's a clean freak but when he got stress or very busy, he didn't bother to clean the surroundings. Your heart suddenly feels warm. The amount of time he sacrifice to finally get to where he is now is insane. He manage to keep practicing as a trainee and didn't even think to give up once. At least that's what you think.
One time you asked him if he's alright after the 14 hours long of dance practice, he once said "Noona, I may be not that good at dancing, but I'll keep trying to prove them that I'm worth it. Don't worry. I'm really okay. I'm happy doing this," with the saddest eye ever.
That time you just straight to hug him because you know that deep inside, he's not okay. Three years of being a trainee is surely frustating. Not knowing if you could really make it to debut without any certainty is sucks. But he decided to keep it to himself and be a strong person in front of you.
"That's okay, Tae Tae. You don't always have to be strong. Sometimes it's ok to say that you're tired or even saying that you want to give up. That's totally normal and I'll try to understand it," you pat his head gently as you start feeling that he's crying silently in your shoulder.
"It's ok. Just cry it out,"

"Noona, are you daydreaming now?" a voice just break that glimpse of memory.
"No, I'm cleaning,"
"Hmm. Didn't look like that at all," he said with a straight face and come towards you.
He proceed to sit at the couch near the table you've been cleaning with strawberry juice in his left hand and protein snack in his right hand.
"Noona, I'm sick," he look at you while pouting.
"Stop it , Tae. Don't be such a baby," you said.
The table is clean now so you start moving to the kitchen.
"Noona, can you go with me tomorrow?" he asked as he keep an eye to you.
"No. Why did I need to go with you anyway? You're a grown ass man, dude," you teased him.
He chuckled. You both laughing at your jokes.
"No, noona. Just this time. I think I'm scared to finally meet them in person,"
"Oh, you've met them before?"
"No, just Namjoon hyung. By phone," he explain.
"Are they nice?" you ask as you start exploring the refrigerator. Finding the right ingredients to make Kimchi Jiggae.
"I don't know. But he feels like a warm person," he answered.
"Good. Then I'm sure you don't need me to go with you," you smile and start chopping.
"Andwae (no in Korean), Noona !! Please, just this time," he keeps begging.
"Well, I don't want to make any promises but we'll see it tomorrow," you said as you start chopping onion.
