The soft chime from a door brings Taehyung out of his daze, his eyes dart away from the brick wall that stands adjacent from him to his girlfriend, Hyejin, who scowls at her boyfriend's rude behavior. Taehyung was the one to grow a fixation on things, Hyejin knew of this, but it was only out of items of interest and she was certain that a wall would not be one of them.  

"You weren't listening to me," Hyejin murmurs under her breath before taking a sip of her Iced Americano that Taehyung had bought for her prior to her arrival.

  A brown strand escapes from her ponytail and Taehyung notices almost immediately. A soft chuckle escapes him before he aids in pressing it behind her ear. The slightest hint of a smirk presses against his lips. He cocks his brow as if demanding her to say that he was not paying attention when he managed to so meticulously pushed her hair behind her ear. "I'm leaving today for a family situation – it's really abrupt and I didn't want you to worry about where I would be."  

At her news, Taehyung perks up ever so slightly at her words. He masks his excitement by taking a sip of his iced water. "I hope it isn't anything serious." Taehyung finds it hard to restrain himself from being giddy. How could he be able to sit as still  as he managed to? Was that dream not just a dream – but a foreshadowing?  

"No, of course not." Hyejin keeps her eyes trained on Taehyung's; eyes that never quite meet her own but she swallows her idea of mentioning it. It would be of no use, anyhow. Taehyung's defining characteristic was his timidity. Bringing it up would serve no use. 

Mahogany orbs meet Hyejin's own hazel ones and she nearly chokes at how ethereal he is. How had she managed to hit the jackpot this big? "Hurry back, okay jagi?" He leans over the coffee table to take her hands in his own. The size difference causes him to smile much more than it should and she notices it – it makes her heart flutter. "I-I don't know what I'll do if you don't return back to me soon." And the saddest thing in his rare truth was that she did not understand the true magnitude of his statement.  

 "If you find my Ironman shirt, you better return it asap – okay?" A teasing Jungkook tells you as you attempt to push him out of the fire escape of your dorm room. Bed hair adorns his head and his little smirk is evident on his lips. "Y/N-ah, you better find my shirt."  

 "Okay, Jungkook, okay!" You screech back, your voice curling in a childlike symphony."Just please go before the RA or Hyejin comes, okay?" Jungkook laughs at your whines before throwing his hands up in response. He loved seeing how fluster you became when it came to things like this. "Jeon Jungkook, so help me if you do not leave this fire escape right now, I will-" Exasperated knocking fills your ears as you turn your head in direction to the front door. A hiccup ensues through you involuntarily and you dart your eyes back to Jungkook, begging him with your eyes for him to leave. "Hyejin-ah! Open the door, please-" 

"You'll what?" The teenage boy continues to provoke you with an upturn of his eyebrow. "I could honestly go answer that door right now and then you'll be forced to move in with me; just like I wanted." 

"Do you have to be such a brat, Jungkook?" You whisper-yell while pushing him away from the window where the fire escape is located. "Please, please, please, just go!"  

Jungkook only laughs at you, giving you a glimmering look at his pearly whites. "I will, fine. Is there honestly the way to treat your best friend? Aish," He trails off once he sees you slam your window and close the curtains. "Aish, this girl..."  

"Coming!" You call back to the door, smoothing out your oversized shirt and pulling down your shorts. Making sure you look presentable, you swing the door open to be met with a dirty blonde standing in front of you, wide-eyed at you. White roses clog your eyesight as you try to look at the person behind them.  "Hey, Hansung!" You attempt to be cheery, remembering how Hyejin had told you about how painfully awkward her boyfriend of just over four months was. Plus, you absolutely adored white roses.  

Taehyung chewed on his bottom lip nervously, eyes intent on staring at the nonexistent stain on his new shoes. "H-hey," He clenches the roses in his hand closest to his chest, as though they were the only barrier between the two of you. "Is Hyejin here?" The quiver in Taehyung's voice is evident as he speaks to you and you find yourself marveling at how adorable he was. Is he this flustered with everyone or is it just with you? 

"Oh, actually, she isn't. I think she would be back soon though." You smile softly at Taehyung before taking a step back. "You're welcome to stay and wait for her if you'd like – or if it's easier, I can just take the flowers from you-" Taehyung licks his bottom lip. Is he honestly this close to you? Is he seriously having a conversation with you? He clenches the flowers tighter, ignoring the thorns that prickle him through the thin plastic. "I-I'd like to wait for her if you don't mind." How crafty Taehyung was – Hyejin had just got on a plane back to Incheon. He would wait forever as long as he could be with you.  

"Hansung, your hand." You gasp a little at the blood on his hand; most likely from the white roses that he had been clenching for dear life. Did talking make him that nervous? Poor boy. "Sit on the couch. I'll, erm, get you a band-aid for you, okay? I wouldn't want Hyejin saying I harmed her boyfriend when I should be taking care of him in her absence." You playfully tease, not knowing the weight of your own words. 

A wildfire runs through Taehyung at your words and he nods timidly in satisfaction. "Please take care of me well." He adds when you guide him to the small couch that sits in the center of the room.  

"Of course," You smile meekly at him before jogging over to your dresser of things. A small box of band-aids finds itself in your hands when you turn to sit beside him. "Sorry about how tight a fit this is, dorms here are really small." You attempt to make conversation as you take the band-aid out of the box, unaware how Taehyung stares at you as if you are the embodiment of what it means to be an 'angel'.  

Taehyung shakes his head, "I don't mind the size; I actually prefer small places." He blurts and when you turn your head to chuckle at him, you notice the twinge of pink on his cheeks.  

"Okay?" You laugh softly before taking the white roses from Taehyung's hands. You smile at them before placing them on the back of the couch. "You got her white roses? You must be a romantic." 

Taehyung shyly nods before wincing softly when you wipe his small cut with an alcohol wipe. "Aish, that hurts." Upon realizing your words, he nods slowly. "The florist told me that white roses are perfect for longevity and as a way of saying 'I'm always thinking of you'. I adore her a lot and I wanted this to be a reflection of all the happiness she brings me and how with every meeting with her, I feel myself becoming closer and closer to my destiny." And that destiny is you, Taehyung finishes in his head, but his mouth falls short of that sentence.  It takes every fiber in Taehyung's being to not look at you when he says this, but he doesn't want to overwhelm you. He would never want to do that. 

"Wow," Your mouth is ajar out of adoration of how eloquently Taehyung speaks. "You really adore her." You smooth the band-aid against his palm with the slightest hint of happiness as you speak. "I hope I find someone as sweet as you are to Hyejin." 

Your words unknowingly boost Taehyung and he nods with his eyes still trained on the floor. "I know you will, Y/N." He finally faces you before licking his lips. The action makes you sputter on the inside but it takes every fiber of your being to not respond with a squeal. "You'll find him, soon. Who knows? He might have been just around the corner all along." The suggestiveness of Taehyung's words go completely over your head but you nod at him with a soft smile.
