Only You

Chapter 14

Suzy's POV

I was being a normal couch potato when the doorbell suddenly rang, causing me to jolt a bit. 

Walking to the door and opening it, I received quite a shock.

"Aren't you Ji-eun's boyfriend?" I asked, staring at the guy standing outside the door.

"Uhm. No. I was wondering if I could ask you something." Taehyung said, fidgeting with his hands. 

"Me?" I asked skeptically, raising my eyebrows even though I was slightly pleased.  

He nodded in confirmation.

"Well, you can come in." I opened the door a little wider to let him in. 

We both plopped down on the sofa after I brought him something to drink. 

"So. What do you want to ask me about?" 

"Oh. When I was talking to Ji-eun the other day at school-"

"Oh, you mean that day when I walked in on you two rolling around snogging on the floor?" I interrupted, grinning.

To my surprise, he started laughing. 

"Oh. That." He started awkwardly after he stopped laughing. 

"Well, it was an accident." he continued unconvincingly. 

At the unbelieving look on my face, he added, "Well, Ji-eun is a really nice person, but I'd rather continue being friends with her rather than start a relationship." he said, a bit too fast.

Something in the way he moved and spoke told me that he wasn't being completely truthful, but he didn't seem like a 'Jungkook' so it should be fine. 

"Omo, aren't you honest." I said, my voice hinting sarcasm.

Apparently he didn't catch the sarcasm, so he looked relieved and grinned a square smile at me. 

A little laugh escaped me without my permission. "So back to the point. What did you want to ask me about?"

 "I have some free time this weekend, so can you go somewhere with me?" 

"Erm. Are you sure you're talking to the right person?"

He seemed to understand what I thought he meant.

"Oh, no, not what you're thinking." he said quickly. "Ji-eun's birthday is coming up, and I know you're her closest friend, so I was wondering if you could help me pick something out for her. Also," he said, taking a break from talking for a breath, "we should throw her a little party. Maybe bake her a cake or something."

He looked really eager, and his request was so sweet that I couldn't help but be enthusiastic about this idea too. Plus, I was inwardly exploding with glee at the thought that IU had talked about me to Taehyung, and that he actually remembered me. 

"That actually sounds pretty good." I admitted. "We can go and pick something out for her tomorrow, since her birthday is on the weekend."

He grinned his square smile again, and said "See you after school then! I need to go now, because I have the keys to the apartment that I share with Jungkook. Bye!" he said cheerfully as he walked towards the door.  

He turned the doorknob and pushed on the door, which resisted. He then frowned  and rattled it again, this time harder. 

"Yah! You're gonna break the door!" I snickered from the couch. "It's something called a lock, you know?"

Looking flustered, he quickly unlocked the door, said goodbye again, and darted out, his face slightly flushed. 

Once he left, I let out a sigh of relief. It was soooo hard to keep my cool back there. Taehyung is soooo adorable. I gushed as I cleaned up our drinks, dumping what was left into the kitchen sink and loading the cups into the dishwasher.
