Walking and walking.

Back and forth you are walking in your room with the phone clenched in your hand. Your eyes never leaving the screen. The number. The car number.

It was same.

843J-318. That was the car number.

however you were still not confirmed about it. why? because in the picture the entire number plate wasn't showing.

it was a picture taehyung took of you when you two went to daegu, his hometown for the summer vacation. you were standing in front of the back of the car which happens to be a

Same model of car with the almost same number.

you tried to figure out the last number but couldn't as your leg covered the last number, so the only numbers you could see were 843J-31, just one more number and you would have found if it was the same car. though you were almost sure it wasn't the same car. you weren't even suspecting taehyung, the last time you suspected him it didn't turn out well.

and your heart told you it was a different number. it has to be.

Taehyung can't be the one who you are looking for. He can't.

"it could be a coincidence, right?" you mumbled to yourself.

pacing like that in your room, still trying to figure out the last number your brain did no help. how careless of you to never notice his car number properly. actually you never cared for his wealth, his cars, his expensive clothes and just the richness reeking of him so it makes sense. the only thing you ever cared for about him was how madly in love he was with you, how he had his entire heart on a platter for you, just you.

But right now you regret not to remember or at least notice the car number. Maybe your restless heart would be calm right now to find out his car number ain't the same as the one you and Jungkook were looking for.

remembering jungkook you sighed, thinking if you should tell him about this car number thing– probably not. since it's not confirmed and you knew very well that jungkook still had his suspect on taehyung. there's no way you're telling him anything.

Taehyung is innocent.

And that's what you believed.

And that's what he makes you to see.

thinking hard about a way out for this you smiled when a plan popped in your head.

all you have to do is. . .

And with that in mind you called Taehyung. After one or two ring he picked up the call with a deep voice.

"Y/N... You remember me?" Sarcasm and sadness could be felt in his voice.

"What are you saying? I miss you tae... Can we meet up? I know you're busy and-"

"Where do you wanna meet? Give me twenty minutes!" Hearing his desperate voice you chuckled but you felt guilty. You had an intention to call him. Wasn't that bad?

"Okay let's meet at your place"

"You sure? Be careful, tae daddy won't be gentle tonight" a red tint of blush crept your ears and cheeks.

"Yaaah! Calm your hormones. I'm on my period!"

"Woman then let me get sloppier?"

"What did you say?! I will not meet you!" You said with a huge crack in your voice due to the impact of his dirty words.

"I was kidding babe. Then my place it is?"

"No! I'll send you an address"

"Oh my, is my baby scared of me? Fine fine whatever my queen says" and with that he hangs up the call while still chuckling.

you stood there all red from his words. the things he says, his teasing tone and laugh, it won't ever get old.

you messaged him a cafe's address before getting ready to leave.

And with that you were sitting inside of the cafe waiting for Taehyung to show up. Playing some games you didn't realize he had already arrived and before you could even notice him, a soft pair of lips formed on your one.

you shifted your gaze from the screen to him, meeting his eyes. those coffee brown eyes sparkling seeing you.

he stood upright after pecking your lips before flashing his infamous boxy smile. it was just a mare smile yet your heart skipped a beat like always.

"Hey" he said in his deep voice to snap you out of your own world of his thoughts.

"H-hi"

"Aww is my baby shy? Taetae likes it" he said as he nudges your nose. It made you to look anywhere but his eyes. He giggled again seeing you like this.

"How have you been tae?"

"How am I suppose to be Y/N" he frowned, his smile fading.

It had been only two days you both didn't meet and here he is already sulking over it. It didn't made you think that he was being too obsessed with you, it made you see him as a kid. A kid who loves you.

"I'm sorry tae. But I didn't want to disturb you while you're working"

"The world can wait Y/N" a chuckle escaped your red tint lips making him to look at you intensely.

"You look so pretty when you laugh or smile" you pressed your lips together hearing him but couldn't help but smile again, this time he gives his boxy smile too.

you guys spent some time in there while eating your favorite cakes, stuffing your mouths with it.

After eating with full appetite you both came out holding each other's hand. And then your mind clicks on why you wanted to meet up with him.

Taehyung and you entered the parking lot and then you saw his car. but you felt disappointed seeing it was a different car. not the one you were looking for and as much as you wanted to ask him why he didn't bring that car or where it was, of course you couldn't. it would hurt your self respect.

"Get in, we are going on a long drive" he says winking and you smile in return.

getting on the car he started driving and as the weather was calm and nice it refreshed your body mind both. the air hits your face as you poke your head out the car window, taking in the fresh air you smiled happily. his eyes checking you once in a while, a small smile on his love shaped lips as well.

"So what did you do these past days?" He asks still focusing on the road.

"Nothing special but umm" you wanted to tell him about the footage and car number thing but you can't right now. Not before finding out the car number of Taehyung's car.

"Tell me, I know there's something going on your head" he says and you actually didn't get shock. He could literally read your mind. Without thinking about it you had to expose the matter.

"Jungkook found a CCTV footage" Taehyung stops the car suddenly making your chest to bump one time.

"Woah what happened tae?"

"Did you find anything?" he asked with a low tone, those brown eyes piercing on you like he was digging holes in your body. with a nervous gulp you looked everywhere but his eyes.

Should you tell him?

"Umm nothing special. We found that the killer flew in a car"

"That's old info Y/N. What's new?"

"It was And that made his eyes to darkened. A little smirk which was almost invisible tugged in his beautiful lips.

"Oh. And?"

"A-and... Nothing. That's all we know" you didn't wanted to even bring this subject out but your stupid ass had to anyway. But you can't tell him about the car number.

Even though you believed him, you still can't. Until you know his car number. It wasn't a doubt. But then what was it?

"Oh that's disappointing... You didn't see the car number?" He ask as a wicked grin which was also quite unseen formed in his lips and His eyes which gave a resting careless look. His question made you to shut your mouth in nervousness.

Now what? I have to lie to him? You thought to yourself.

"What happened Babe?"

"Uh n-no. It was too dark to see"

"Oh I see. That's sad" he said in a low tone before turning on the engine. With a smile he started driving again.

He thought with a grin.
