Impossibly Possible || KIM TAEHYUNG ✔

Twenty Four

Kim Soo Mi's POV

"Ugh..." I groaned in frustration lifting my arms up and behind my head to stretch my numb muscles. I've been typing for so long on my laptop to finally finish our research paper. Being a graduating high school student is hella hard.

The only music I've been listening to is the sound of my fingers pressing on the buttons of the keyboard and to be honest, it pisses me off.

Also, the good thing about going solo on my thesis is that I don't have to mind any groupmates about their contribution in writing this research paper. I have to do everything by myself which is nice but exhausting at the same time.

Hee-young and I agreed together that we'll be working on our research separately so that we'll get better and higher grades. There will also be a better chance that the "bestfriends (Hee-young and I)" will become valedictorian and salutatorian of our batch this year.

So back to my research paper, I've been making chapter 2 which was composed of related literature and other crap. There were only a few journals on the net and were not even reliable because those articles were from 174825 gazillion years ago.

In frustration, I forcefully closed my laptop and slumped back on my chair. "Damn everything! I need some food..." I got up and headed downstairs then to the fridge. My mouth watered at the sight of milk tea at the corner. There was a note attached to it:

Hwaiting! Eomma is cheering for you. Don't overwork yourself. Just a few more weeks and you're finally graduating! 😃                     

                                                  ~Eomma

I grinned to myself and grabbed the milk tea from the fridge. Taking a sip, my mouth was in the verge of melting in paradise. It was Okinawa milktea which even brought the taste of tea in it. The flavor was heavenly.

I walked back inside my room, feeling a little bit motivated with my mom's encouraging message and started typing once again.

=========================

Three hours later, I have written until half of chapter three which was the methodology. I still have one more week before the submission of our research paper so I saved my file and turned off my laptop.

My phone vibrated loudly on my desk and I glanced at the caller ID. It was the person I just thought of calling after I've done my stuff. I smiled and picked up the call.

"Annyeonghaseyeo, Kim Residence. Who is this?" I asked in a professional tone.

There was a deep chuckle on the other line but there were also other noises which I assumed were the camera men preparing for their next shoot. "It's Kim Taehyung, Soo Mi's handsome boyfriend. May I talk to her please?"

I pretended to clear my throat and finally dropped my act, "Wassup, love." I said in a cool way.

"The sky." I giggled at his reply. "What's my baby girl doing right now?" He questioned.

"I just finished updating my research paper." I sighed tiringly. "I can't wait to graduate highschool and go to college in Seoul. That way, we get to see each other and you don't have to go to Gwangju anymore."

He hummed in agreement and Taehyung seemed excited at the idea. "Although I can't wait to see you all dolled up on your graduation day, baby girl. I can imagine your pretty face while walking on the stage with your head held high."

I blushed at his descriptive statement. "Stop Taehyung! You're so...I don't know." I couldn't say anything because I was speechless but then I asked him back. "You won't be graduating with me?"

"Well, technically, I have already graduated high school. I just enrolled in your school because you know why." His tone was kind of scared while he explained it to me. The reason why Taehyung enrolled in my school because he just wanted to be with me. Aish, what a money waster.

I pouted, "But I want to see you graduate too, even though you already did."

Taehyung laughed, "It's alright, princess. I'll be there, don't worry. I won't miss it for the world."

My heart fluttered in excitement when I heard someone calling his name on the background. "Are you guys going to start shooting now?"

"Yes." He answered sadly, like he didn't want to end the call just yet. "I miss you, baby girl. Take care of yourself, okay? I love you."

"I love you too. Take care of yourself too. See you soon." I bidded him goodbye and our conversation ended just like that.

My room became silent without the timber of his voice and the inner warmth Taehyung gives me even through the phone. I felt so empty without him by my side. I miss Kim Taehyung. A lot.

I felt myself getting emotional and not even had an idea on how to comfort myself. Only him could give me the hugs I wanted. Only him could say the right words at the right place and time. Only Taehyung could fill this empty part of my heart.

And I'm scared.

I'm scared that he would go further and further away from me.

I'm scared that I might not be enough for him.

Shooing away the thoughts, I shut my eyes to sleep. I need to distract myself from overthinking. According to sources, this is not a healthy activity for the mind. Overthinking stresses you out on things or events that haven't even happened yet. It makes a person paranoid about everything he or she does.

"Get out of my head. Leave me alone." I told my conscience and thankfully it did. I turned on my bluetooth speaker on my nightstand and played some BTS piano instrumentals to make me sleep. This is very effective for me because listening to the piano calms my nerves and helps me focus.

I pulled over my blanket over me and turned around on my bed, as I listened to the first song on shuffle that had finally played. It was Hold Me Tight. Taehyung produced this one.

With his handsome face etched in my mind and heart, I closed my eyes and fell into a deep slumber. I wished I never wake up from a good dream I'll be having tonight.

I trust him.

I trust Taehyung.

Please don't let go.

Please.
