There were 7 rhythmic knocks on the door, instantly giving away the person's identity. Knowing who it was, a smile smeared onto my lips almost instantly as I skipped towards the door.


I swung the door open, "you know you don't have to keep checking up on me, right?" I laughed as he shook his head.


"Need to know if you're feeling better." Taehyung looked at me, a subtle smile playing on his lips as he entered.


"Of course I'm feeling better, Taehyung." I rolled my eyes as he laughed lightly, "like how I felt better yesterday and the day before that and the week before that." I continued and his laughter interrupts me.


"Alright, I get it." He chuckled, preparing the takeout he had brought along with him. "Maybe I just enjoy your company." Taehyung said, beaming at me as he handed me a pair of chopsticks.


"Maybe a little too much." I teased, snatching the chopsticks away from him. All he did was shake his head as he contained his laughter.


It's been 2 weeks since I passed out and Taehyung had been dropping by often, close to every day, for dinner to make sure that I was okay since I was mostly alone.


My father had gone on a business trip and would only be back in a month while Aera had an attachment at a new firm which meant longer hours away from home.


"Aera ends her attachment the day after tomorrow, right?" Taehyung asked right before slurping onto his noodles. He sucks his teeth, hissing the moment he takes a full bite, probably in an attempt to cool it down.



"Mmhmm," I hummed in agreement, opening up my meal that was still piping hot. I stared at the light steam that floated out of the takeout box lazily into the atmosphere. "Which means no more dinners." I pout slightly, trying to dramatise my statement.


"You could tag along with Aera and me." He said with a hand over his mouth as he spoke with his mouth full.



"Please, and be a third wheel?" I laughed, kicking my feet up as I made myself comfortable on the couch. "I'll probably meet Jae." I said and he fell silent, simply nodding as he ate.


As we ate, I hear my phone buzz. "Speak of the devil." I said as I received a message from Jae.
