I found a sticky note on his night table.

"I went to the grocery shop :)"

I laughed a little, I knew he went out. Since I just pretend to sleep I'm aware of everything. I never imagined myself being with him a whole night, it gives me a strange feeling in my stomach.

I stood up and went to the kitchen.
"Maybe he will be hungry," I murmured but I remembered that after all these years I haven't learned how to cook "Nope" I said "I don't want to start a fire".

I have to go back home, I need to get my boost and by boost I meant blood. Joseph and I drink blood every morning I haven't skipped a day for decades, today it's not the exception I don't want to know the side effects.

I changed my clothes and waited in the living room, suddenly my phone started ringing "Yoongi?".

"What do you want?" I answered annoyed
"Where are you? You didn't come home last night" he asked almost screaming
"Well, ask Joseph" I heard the sound of the door "I'm going, calm yourself down, bye!" I ended the call and ran toward the door

"Hi there!" I said to Taehyung, his hands were full of bags "let me help" I said taking a few bags
"You don't have to" he said embarrassed
"Don't worry I can handle it" I continued "Thank you for last night, you saved my life" I smiled at him "But I need to go home now" that last sentence changed his expression
"Already? You didn't have breakfast" he started to make an excuse
"It's okay, I had a wonderful dinner last night" I said as I took my bag "See you on Monday!"
"Wait!" Taehyung said, he grabbed me by the arm "You technically owe me a date" he continued
"See you today at the Cafe" it was a serious expression on his face, he was determined.

I held his hand for a second "See you soon then" this gesture softened his gaze and a pretty smile appeared on his face.

"Joseph! I'm home" I screamed as I opened the door
"Well, look who decided to show up" Yoongi said from the window
"It's that... smoke?" I said offended "Why are you smoking inside our house?" I grabbed the cigarette out of his hand and threw it onto the kitchen sink
"Are you insane!?" Yoongi followed me angry
"Don't you dare to smoke at our house ever again"

We were fighting like dogs and cats until Joseph cleared his throat to get our attention.
"My lady, here's your daily cup" he said "And Yoongi, if you want to smoke, go to the balcony or terrace" he finished as he pour another glass of blood "Now please eat, both of you"

Yoongi and I exchanged looks, we couldn't say a thing to Joseph, we respect him deeply.

"Then where were you?" Yoongi asked one more time
"Mind your business, Yoongi" I hissed back
"My lady..." Joseph interrupted
"Sorry... I spend the night at Taehyung's"

Yoongi didn't say a thing, it was unlike him "Cat got your tongue?" I asked but again he didn't answer "Anyways, I have to get ready"

Fifteen minutes passed in anxious waiting, I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas and finally, he appeared. He was breathless, and as far as I can see he was hiding something on his back.

"I'm late, I'm sorry" he said coming closer to my table "Here" he gave me a beautiful white rose "I hope you like it"
"It's beautiful" I was admiring the rose, It reminds me of the flowers in the palace
The waiter came to our table "Hello, are you ready to order?"
"Not yet" Taehyung answered annoyed since the waiter interrupted us "We got something special for you and your girlfriend" the waiter continued
Taehyung was surprised "She's not..."
"Oh! Sorry my bad, then what do you want to order pretty lady?" The waiter asked me winking his eye at me
"She's not ready to order" Taehyung said holding my hand "We will let you know"

The waiter walked away speechless and I couldn't hold my laugh anymore.

"What was that?" I asked Taehyung laughing
"He was annoying" He said clicking his tongue, he didn't realize that he was still holding my hand "Don't worry I'll order directly" he said letting go of my hand
"I just want an Iced Americano" I whispered

Taehyung talked about his days in high school, he used to be shy so he started to express himself by painting, he wanted to study arts and his parents were supportive. He's leaving a different life, he doesn't need to run away or steal food anymore.

"Jisoo?" He asked confused by my silence
"Sorry I was amused, your life it's really interesting" I answered
"Jisoo, Can I ask you something?" He muttered
"Of course" I said 
"Well... I don't anything about you and..." He cut his words "I'm sorry just forget it"

We had this conversation before, maybe he doesn't know it but I remember everything vividly.
But this time I have a different answer... this time...

"It's okay" I continued "I live with my uncle and his annoying son, I have traveled to almost every country and I met wonderful people in this small city" I smiled looking straight into his eyes, he smiled back, and just like that we went home.

≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫

"You didn't have to come this far" I said standing in front of my house
"It's okay, I enjoyed walking with you" he replied
"Let me at least ask my uncle to take you home" I insisted
"Don't worry I'm okay" he said looking at me
"Are you sure? I can—" suddenly I felt something warm on my cheeks, it was his hand caressing my face
"Taehyung?" I asked embarrassed
"Can I?" He said coming closer

I was stunned I didn't know how to react but for some reason, I just nodded my head. He smiled at me and softly kissed me.

"I waited a long time for this" he said before kissing me again "See you on Monday" he walked away with a smile on his face.

"A long time?"

"A long time?"
