Siren ♡ Kim Taehyung/Reader FF ♡ Completed ♡

23.

Y/N sneezed, eyes watering as she shuffled out of her bedroom.

"Wow, you look like shit." Kiko commented, tone one of concern as she finally answered the Facetime Y/N sent.

"Wow thanks, nice to see you too." Y/N retorted, aching limbs just about making it to the kitchen.

"I think staying out in the cold yesterday didn't do me much good, hopefully some honey and lemon will make me feel better."

"Don't you have the dinner tonight with Taehyung and his friends?"

Y/N nodded, suddenly nervous.

It was a surprise to get a call from Taehyung the following morning asking her if she wanted to have dinner with his friends later, she reminded him about their two day break so he could spend time with the guys but Taehyung said it was actually their idea.

How could she refuse such a sweet offer.

Y/N agreed even though she wasn't feeling great, it was just dinner and maybe some food and good company would cheer her up.

"I do have plans with them yeah....just nervous."

Kiko didn't need to ask why, this was a big step for Y/N.

"I'm proud of you, I know big crowds usually make you feel anxious especially since the accident but this will be really good for you. It's sweet that his friends want to meet you, just relax and be yourself." Kiko smiled, legs stretched out as she sat on her bed with a mug of coffee warming her hands.

The two usually Facetime when they didn't have the time to visit.

Kiko was currently swamped with work at the boutique and only had ten minutes to spare before having to get ready but Y/N appreciated these ten minutes.

Y/N wasn't exactly the most confident of people before her accident, just like anyone else she would doubt herself at times and feel anxious in certain situations but it was easy to manage and wouldn't take her long to acclimatise but since the accident everything changed.

Y/N was constantly anxious, always doubting herself and allowing nerves to consistently get the better of her. It was a difficult few months, she even took time away from work hoping it would help her feel better but nothing did.

Not until Taehyung.

"I'll try my best to relax." Y/N said through a fit of coughs and another sneeze, stirring honey in her tea and adding a squeeze of lemon.

Kiko knew this would be good for her friend, she needed to form connections and relax more.

"You should really see a doctor Y/N, it seems like you've got a nasty infection."

"I'll be fine, just a cold. It's nothing a few flu capsules can't fix, it always hits me this time of year."

The two chat for another five minutes, discussing what outfit Y/N should wear before Kiko leaves to get ready for work.

Tonight will be fine.

Y/N tells herself as she runs a bath.

Nothing to worry about.

It's roughly two hours later when Y/N is finally ready, still twenty minutes to spare until Taehyung picks her up.

The flu meds have somewhat kicked in making her feel less crappy so she decides to pour herself a glass of merlot, a little dutch courage never killed anyone.
