Taehyung didn’t let go of Jisoo’s hand until he let her sit on the couch in the living room.

“Do you want something hot to drink?” he asked as he lowered himself to see her face.

Jisoo nodded.

“Could you heat some milk? I should have it in the fridge..” she replied in a low voice as she felt embarrassed for making him do things she should be doing herself instead.

Taehyung quickly went to heat some milk in the kitchen.

No matter how much he thinks about it.. something is weird about her..

Jisoo isn’t easily scared like this.. to the point that she would cry and breakdown..

Something must have happened to her..  and it’s frustrating because he doesn’t know about it..

He went back to the living room and handed her the cup of hot milk.

He sat beside her.

“Thank you..” said Jisoo glancing at him quickly. “And I’m sorry.. I bothered you greatly tonight..”

Taehyung shook his head.

“It’s nothing.. I don’t have anything to do anyway..” he said as he continued staring at her.

There was a moment of silence between them.

Jisoo was still in a daze while Taehyung was just looking at her trying to figure her out.

“Jisoo..” he called her gently as he held her arm making her turn to him. “Did.. something happen?”

Jisoo’s eyes quivered.

Taehyung held both of her arms making her face him completely.

“Is there something wrong?” he asked worriedly as he caressed her arms gently. “Did something happen to you?”

Jisoo was just looking at him in silence.

Then she lowered her gaze and sighed.

Taehyung withdrew his hands away from her slowly before standing up.

“Let me get you some water as well-..” he said as he was about to go back to the kitchen.

But Jisoo held his hand making him stop and look back at her.

“Sit down.. I have.. something to tell you..” she said softly as her eyes glistened with tears.

Taehyung looked worried seeing her cry again.

He knelt before her as he held her hand tightly.

“Jisoo.. I’m sorry for asking you.. but you don’t have to tell me if it’s hard for you..” he said feeling guilty.

He remembers her not forcing him to tell her about his family back then since she knew it was a sensitive topic for him.

She waited for him to speak up first so he isn’t going to oblige her to tell him everything about her either.

Jisoo shook her head.

“What happened is that-..” she choked back a sob. “My bestfriend.. Jhope..”

Taehyung’s brows furrowed.

What about him? What did Jhope do?

He didn’t take her money again, did he?

He’s going to scold him if that happened! How can he make his bestfriend cry like this every single time?

“What is it? What happened-..?”
