-TAEHYUNG POV-
I saw some redness on the middle of her head and ran my fingers over it to check if it's a bruise.

"Yahhhhh" she groaned in pain and quickly jerked back "it hurts" she pouted with tears in her eyes. Okay I'd be lying if I said she wasn't looking cute.

I held in my laughter and said, "It's a bruise" "Is that painful?" Sehun interrupted grabbing ALL of Ashley's attention. I just rolled my eyes and looked outside the window.

That's when I realised what I did. The way I reacted. Why am I too worried about her? Do I... perhaps... Like her?

I thought to myself turning to take a glance at Ashley who was busy talking to Sehun and turned back to the window. 'Never' the voice inside the walls of my skull shouted. I can't like her... She looks exactly like her.

I took out my earphones and plugged them into my ears. I laid back on my seat and was about to close my eyes when I saw her touching her bruise again.

"Yah stop touching it with your dirty hands, it'll get infected" I said and she looked at me with both eyebrows raised and nodded while blinking a few times.

She bought her hand down and there was blood on her fingers. It's bleeding.

-ASHLEY POV-
I don't know why it felt weird seeing him worried for me. It felt like he cared. But he doesn't, I know he doesn't. He asked me to stop touching the bruise and I just nodded.

I was about to turn back when he suddenly sit straight taking my hand in his. I saw light traces of blood on my fingers with which I just touched the bruise.

I looked at him and he left my hand and started searching for something in his bag. After a minute he took out a little transparent pouch which I think is supposed to be a first aid kit.

Wow that made me feel dumb coz I am not carrying one but he is. I never thought he was that thoughtful.

He took out a cotton ball and poured some brown liquid over it and signalled me to lower head. I did as he told me and waited for a minute but nothing happened so I looked back up.

He looked angry?

Then I saw another hand popping out from beside me and I turned to find Sehun holding the same cotton ball in his hand. I looked at the two of them confused.

"I'll do it" Sehun said and held my head, lowering it a bit. He started cleaning the wound and the moment he slided the cotton ball over my head it felt as if someone stabbed me right there.

I groaned in pain and Taehyung quickly pushed Sehun's hand away and I looked up while a tear fell from my left eye. "It hurts" I said and Taehyung snatched back the cotton ball from Sehun.

"If you don't know how to do it, then don't do it" he said coldly while glaring at him. He then turned to face me and said "I'll do it. It'll hurt slightly but not too much" I nodded wiping my tear from the back of my sleeve.

He started cleaning the wound but this time it was better. He did it slowly and gently making sure to make it as less painful as he could.

-TAEHYUNG POV-
I was cleaning the wound when suddenly I felt her clutching the cloth of my hoodie beside my waist. I got distracted for a moment but I went back to focusing on the wound when I felt my heart racing like crazy.

I don't know why was it beating so fast. I blinked a few times and gulped down a huge lump in my throat before moving away from her and looking down.

"It's done" I said while putting the dirty cotton ball in a seperate plastic bag and sanitizing my hands. She finally let go of my hoodie and we exchanged a glance, both of our cheeks flushed red.

I coughed slightly before putting on the hood and hitting the play button of my playlist. I laid back on my seat and closed my eyes and let the sun rays fall on my face.

What is happening to me?

I sighed.
