KAYLIE'S POV
He hugged me and I had the oddest urge of hugging him back. I was scared and I felt safe when I saw him, I wanted to cry so bad but his eyes displayed how scared he was, it would have only aggravated the issue.
"It's ok. You are not at fault at all. Don't blame yourself and see I am okay." I said. I heard his sobs and it broke my heart while it was still fluttering from the unexpected euphoria.
How can a broken heart function the same way the mended ones do? Question no. 101 of the unknown.
We parted and I passed him a smile. "Ahh.. The movie ended. I didn't even know the names of the characters", I genuinely complained, I just wasted my money over this.
"You weren't watching from there start! All you were focused was food."
"I want to live a life without regrets." and finally, he smiled, it felt as if weights were lifted from my chest. He continued on providing me with first aid, finally covering it with a bandage. "All done!" he exclaimed with the proud face, so typical of Taehyung.
"Let's go back" I asserted and I could feel his smile becoming firm when he nodded. It was only me who spoke during our ride back.
"Let's go to the amusement park tomorrow."
"No. Stay home and rest."
"I already promised Forever Single- I mean Jimin oppa."
The car screeched as he suddenly applied the brakes at the red light, "why is he oppa?", he complained.
"Jin oppa told me, that girls call their elders as oppa, right?"
"Well.. Um.. Ya.", he slightly nodded making me confused at his reaction.
"So, I am your oppa too", he slightly smirked. Okay, now is he bragging that he is older than me?

"Forgetting that I am your mommy, babyboy?" I said ruffling his hair and he pouted. A very disappointed pout.
We reached back in no time and he offered to scout me till the gate to which I agreed. It was never useful denying him. Sasha opened the door and she practically freaked at seeing my blood stained clothes.
She gave him a death glare and I knew what she was anticipating. "No. It was not him. It was not his mistake.", her glance shifted back towards me. She had dark circles underneath her eyes and seemed exhausted. It was evident she was overworking herself.
She somehow persuaded Taehyung to come in as she offered him some hot chocolate since he refused to have coffee.
"Wow. You are really handsome." finally came her jubilant reply.
"Don't you realise who he is?"
"Umm?"
"He is Taehyung!!", I exclaimed.
"Ya I know that."
"No. No. He is Taehyung. THE Taehyung!"
"Ya I know, THE Taehyung who was your false boyfriend, right?"
"Nooooo. Taehyung aka V, V from BTS!?"
She nodded till she realized what I said, "Are you for real?" she exclaimed and I nodded proudly.
"He is from BTS, the band you used to blab all day, like seriously?", and yes, I was being embarrassed in front of my Stan while he was sipping the hot chocolate in pleasure. And only after she embarrassed me loads, she finally stopped.
"Hey, would you like to hang out with us tomorrow. We are going to the amusement park", he said to Sasha.
Didn't he hated her?
She agreed after a little persuasion from my side and hence he left.

How can you sleep when
the blanket possibly
cannot cover you fully?
Handsome Tae
It's fucking 3 am!!
Me:
.. So, you can't sleep?
Is it because of the blanket?
Handsome Tae
It's because of you!
Me:
Am I coming in your dreams?
Dream Girl, duh.
Handsome Tae:
Don't you sleep? You don't even
have that night shift anymore.
Me:
I don't sleep. My mind has the
scary capability of being
dark and demented.
Handsome Tae:
You have nightmares?
Me:
You 70 year old whacko, how
can you make something so
boring but yes.
Handsome Tae:
Since when?
Me:
Long time.
Handsome Tae:
So, you are scared of sleeping.
Me:
I am scared of nothing.
Handsome Tae:
I am not joking.
Me:
Neither am I
Handsome Tae:
Come on, tell me since when
are you having nightmares?
Me:
Since, my 'legal dad' left me
to live alone.
Handsome Tae:
It has been 10 years!!
Me:
Long time, isn't it?
Handsome Tae:
Why didn't you tell anyone?
Me:
No one asked.
Handsome Tae:
Are you okay?
Me:
Yes. I am used to it. You dont
need to worry about that and I
am being serious.
Handsome Tae:
So, what kind of nightmares you
have?
Me:
Is THE Taehyung trying to
be my personal psychologist?
I am blessed.
Handsome Tae:
It's 3 in the morning and I was
sleeping peacefully till you
spammed me with some illogical
question only for my sleep to
go miles away from me.
Do you think I am joking?
Me:
Sorry😬
I love you, don't hate me😶
Handsome Tae:
I am really coming there, if aren't
coming to the point.
Me:
Why don't you go back
to dreamland my prince
charming?
Handsome Tae:
My dreamland is now too
far fetched to be reached.
Me:
Suddenly, I feel sleepy.
Bye
Handsome Tae:
You must like to be alone.
😗
Me:
No... I don't. I am not a person who likes solitude, I cannot, in fact I am afraid of it. I am afraid of my own company, I am always finding something to do, something to amuse my self, something... to feel.. except for misery and remembrance of good old times. But, all I could think of is loneliness.
I HATE BEING ALONE
Handsome Tae:
Did I just made you spit
out the truth?
I never praised myself enough.
Me:
😑😑
Sleep. Or you'll be late tomorrow.
Handsome Tae:
You too.
Me:
I'm not even trying.
Handsome Tae:
So, what are you doing?
Me:
I am studying.
Handsome Tae:
Namjoon hyung would love to
meet you.
Me:
I'll love to meet him too💕
Handsome Tae:
Who will let you meet him tho😂
Me:
Who is stopping me? 😏
Handsome Tae:
Your bank balance 😂
Me:
Jeez.
Duh, I feel attacked.
Handsome Tae:
Study and earn. Simple.
Me:
Neither of them is simple.
OH btw, you called Sasha.
Are you comfortable?
Handsome Tae:
Idk, she felt so depressed.
I thought it'll be good to
have her along.
Me:
Thank you so much🥺
Handsome Tae:
Am I seeing right?
Me:
Genuinely.
Now go and sleep
Handsome Tae:
Yeah byee💜
Me:
Bye😊
