"Tae!" I shouted, not so loudly because our distance was too about 18 meters.

He looked up, then surprised, and even more surprised when he realized I was riding his bike.

As soon as possible, Taehyung trotted over to me.

"Since when do you ride a bicycle?"

God, I thought...

"Your bike is nice" he continued, looking at me and the bike down to the nitty gritty.

I sighed lazily, rolling my eyes.

"Here's your bike!" i hit

the wheel.

Taehyung glared. "My bike is blue"

"Yeah, but with Yuta oppa, I've modified it again. Some are already rusty, so they say it's all together," I explained.

The child was still grinning. Funny.

"Really this is my bike? How come it's good?" he looked unsuspecting.

I want to just cry. Anxious, annoyed, but also want to laugh.

"Yes, okay, it's up to you, here I come, why aren't you Thankful?"

Taehyung laughed.

"Thank you very much for the bike, I'll pay you back later"

"No need, no need. It's free"

I lied. How could it be free? The repair fee even cost 50 thousand won.

But it's okay, it's Jae who pays.

"Free?" Taehyung asked. "I can't believe it, really!"

Taehyung was silent for a while while looking at me.

"Yeah, but I'll still replace it later as gratitude"

"What the heck Tae!" I whispered. "Uh, Why is this bandage?"

Maybe I was so happy to see Taehyung, I realized too late that the boy's face was not good enough.

There are small bandages on the corners of the lips and neck

on the right.

Taehyung shook his head and smiled. Saying he's fine.

"What's wrong with you? It's impossible to fall off a bicycle, don't make excuses like that again.!" He smiled, instead of answering

I was stunned for a moment when I saw how he looked and smiled at me.

"Come on, I'll take you home"

"You?"

"I still have to work"

"What? now?"

"I have to sell flowers, after that to a restaurant in Namsan"

"I'm in" I said quickly. Taehyung was shocked. Then he shook his head firmly.

"You have to go home"

"But I don't want to, you can't force me" I hissed.

"You just got home from school, take a break"

"I'm with you, all day I want to join you, Tae"

Finally Taehyung stuck, he sighed in resignation. Until he finally smiled and nodded.

"You see, I don't want you to be tired"

Everyone thinks that Taehyung is just an 18 year old boy who is disabled, mentally ill, and deserves to be ostracized.

But to me now, he was more than a man. I feel so safe around him, and I feel so protected. He takes care of me with all his heart.

Taehyung is the perfect human.

That afternoon, after he had picked up his coat and bag, we rode our bikes together with me.

Helping Taehyung sell the pretty flowers we just picked up from the flower shop. Seeing him work with a smile like that really touched me.

Then cry silently on

Then wept silently behind him, as he hitchhiked me.

I sat on a long brown wooden bench near a street lamp, right in front of the barbecue restaurant where Taehyung worked. He just came in, he said briefly, while he left the ramen he brought from Uncle Shin's shop to me, telling me to eat it.

Yes, I was hungry, so I ate the ramen while waiting for Taehyung, who said he would come out.

By the way it's cold tonight, and I only use one layer of uniform without a jacket because I don't really have it with me. Several people passed by, entered the restaurant which turned out to be holding a special birthday promo.

As I put the third mouthful in my mouth, that's when I saw Taehyung come out the side door of the restaurant and come over.

I was dumbfounded and failed to enter my food.

Taehyung suddenly appeared in a brown cow costume. No, he still hasn't used his head. I can still see his handsome face.

"You're the mascot again?" I asked.

Then the kid knelt right in front of me. Maybe because Taehyung is so tall, even when he kneels like this, we are the same height.

He smiled, and we were so close, making me nervous.

"W-what-"

Taehyung draped his coat over my shoulder, holding it close.

"Sorry, you're getting cold"

I, who was flanking the foam ramen in my lap, froze stiffly.

Then the boy took his long red scarf, wrapped it around my neck. Wrapped up until my head almost sank, tied it up, and tidied it up painstakingly.

He takes care of me like a child.

"Tae" I called softly.

Taehyung's hands fell, holding both of my shoulders. He looked at me, looking down at me as deeply as he could.

"I'm scared"

My eyebrows rose, "wh, what?"

For a moment, the boy took a deep breath. Then his hand moved.

"I need you, but I'm afraid of falling too deep. Although I don't mind if I do fall that deep, it's just that... you are Jeon Jungkook's girlfriend, you belong to Jeon Jungkook"

My corneas widened as soon as I understood what he was saying, then, I stared at him blankly.

"What should I do..."

Taehyung's hand moved, holding my right cheek with a soft furry costume.

No Taehyung, it seems I'm the one here who has fallen too deep....
