SHE IS A SASAENG | Kim Taehyung

38: The One

After breakfast, Taehyung had finally eased up around my parents. Something definitely happened when I ran out to chase after my brother.

I'm not gonna question why because all is well at this moment.

We were all in the living room, binge watching Christmas movies on Netflix while drinking hot chocolate. My head was on Taehyung's shoulder and both of us wrapped in a blanket, the feeling very fitting.

My mom's head was also on my dad's shoulder, the two cuddled up in a blanket as they were sitting on the couch beside mine. My brother? He was literally snoring in his sleep, hugging Cookie on the other couch.

I heard Taehyung's soft chuckle, causing me to look up at him. I raised a questioning brow at him.

"Doesn't your brother have a girlfriend?", he asked in a whisper. I let out a snort.

"He's too picky. Dad had been setting him up on countless blind dates for the past two years. He's at an age of marriage already and he still hasn't found the one.", I said.

"Hmm. Don't push it. When you're meant to meet the one, you meet them at most unexpected moments.", he said and nudged our noses, catching me off guarded.

"Like how I met you on the plane from London to Seoul.", he smiled.

Oh, my poor heart-

"Ahem."

We heard a voice and saw my parents looking at our way sheepishly. I blushed and immediately pulled myself away from him.

"You're not gonna watch the movie anyway. Why don't you show your room to Taehyung?", my mom said, causing my eyes to widen.

"What?", Taehyung and I blurted out at the same time.

"Both of you hadn't shower since yesterday, right? Go wash up.", my mom ordered and I internally screamed.

I looked wearily at Taehyung and he gave me the same look. I gulped. He gulped.

"What are you kids thinking? We're telling you to wash up. Not wash up together. Separately-"

"Dad!", I cut him off and my father laughed. "Seriously. Now go!", he said.

With that, I dragged Taehyung to my room upstairs which took us like three minutes. I then closed the door and an awkward silence blared inside the room.

Please say something Taehyung. Please say something Taehyung. Please say something-

"Your family-", he started as he turned around to face me. "It's really different from what I expected.", he said, chuckling.

"Like what?", I asked, raising my brows.

"Hmm... From what I heard-", he said as he took a seat at the end of my bed. "Rich families are usually cold and distanced with each other. But your dad, mom and brother are FAR from that from what I see.", he hummed nonchalantly.

"I love it.", he added with a grin, causing me to smile. I walked over to him and sat next to him, fiddling with my fingers.

"Yeah. My father is such a great man and my mom is a literal perfect wife. No matter how busy they are, they never fail to show their love and affection towards me and my brother. I've never really feel neglected in my life.", I explained.

Taehyung was silent so I looked up and saw him looking at me with an unreadable expression on his face.

"What?", I smiled.

"Can I introduce you to my parents some day? I have a feeling that they'll adore you so much.", he said out of blue. My heart skipped a beat at that.

Even though I was so happy with what he just said, I couldn't help but question him.

"Tae- are you sure? Are you really sure?", I asked anxious.

I couldn't help but feel that way. When a man introduces you to his parents, it means something. It means he's taking this seriously.

Taehyung didn't answer. Instead, I felt his hand made its way towards my face and brushed away the strands of my hair with his thumb.

"I love you.", he whispered.

My breath hitched and I froze in my position, not believing what he just said. He chuckled, seeing my state.

"You think I said it too early, don't you?", he sighed. "After all, we just started going out officially yesterday. I totally understand. But I've known you for eight months. I'm sure of this intense feeling inside my chest. Because I'm sure, I'm letting you know-"

I grabbed him by his cheeks and pulled him into a kiss, the suddenness shocking him. Taehyung didn't respond to the kiss. I started to feel embarrassed by my own actions.

As I was about to pull away, I felt his hand snake around my waist, pulling me closer. He kissed me hardly, different from our first kiss.

I could feel his desperation. I threw both my arms around his neck, hugging us closer as I started to kiss him with more passion.

Our kiss lasted so long that we were sharing each other's breaths at this point. Our lungs giving up, a fierce kiss ended with a bite I left on his bottom lip, soothing it with a lick.

Our chests heaving up and down, panting from breathlessness but we both had smiles on our faces nonetheless.

"I love you too.", I whispered out and nudged our foreheads together, the love I have for him blooming everywhere.

My fat ugly tears just had to ruin this beautiful moment. I started crying and Taehyung panicked.

"Oh my god- Minhee, what's wrong? What-", he was restless, not knowing what to do.

I pulled him into a tight hug, startling him. I buried my face in his neck, taking in all his minty and masculine scent as an assurance that all of this is not a dream.

It is still hard to believe.

He's the man I have loved ever since I was sixteen, even though it was a fangirl type of love. I've seen him grown. I've seen his dark times. I have seen his success. All through the screen.

But here he is, being my boyfriend after nine years. My boyfriend when there are millions of girls out there who desire to be his, who love him like I do, who would literally trade anything just to see him smile.

I couldn't believe he's mine.

Taehyung hugged me back. I felt his hand patting my back and rubbing in soothing circles. I let out a sniffle.

"I-", I paused, finding hard to continue with my sobs. "Hmm?", he hummed softly, his voice calm and composed.

"I've fallen in love before.", I said softly.

Yes, I was referring to Woo Bin. I really loved that guy.

"I-I've fallen in love before but-", I said as I looked up to meet his honey eyes.

"I've never been obsessed with the feeling like this.", I said, earning a confused gaze from him. I smiled.

"You're the only man to make me fall in love with the feeling of falling in love."
