"Yuta... don't tell me..."

"You know her! You could understand her better than anyone! Something I couldn't! You could make her smile... make her happy... You did everything I couldn't do... So please... take care of her... please..."

"What the hell are you doing?!" They heard Irene yelling and turned their head around.

They saw Irene standing in front of the door and she rushed to them.

"Park Yuta! Come with me!" Irene said angry and pulled Yuta with her by his ear.

"Aaah!! Irene! Softly! It's my ear!" Yuta said in pain while he got dragged away.

Taehyung slowly stood up and looked at how Yuta got pulled away by Irene. He couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Irene... your one-sided love... wasn't one-sided.

Taehyung looked at himself in the side mirror of a car and sighed when he saw the side of his mouth slightly bruised. He slightly brushed with his thumb over it and felt the slight but clear pain.

"What are you doing?" He heard Irene's voice and immediately turned around.

He saw Irene standing behind him with his arm closed and he slightly smiled to her.

"Sit down." Irene said while directing to the side of the road. 

Taehyung looked and sighed when he sat down, next to the car. Irene revealed an ointment that she hid in her hand, behind her crossed arms. She let out a sigh before she sat down next to him. Taehyung looked carefully at Irene who was opening the tube.

"Don't worry. He didn't say anything." Irene said and Taehyung looked away a bit ashamed.

She let out another sigh and applied the ointment softly on his bruise. Taehyung looked slowly back her again and was silent for a moment.

"Aren't you curious?" Taehyung asked and Irene sighed before she nodded a bit.

"Yes, I'm curious. But what can I do about it? Just like Yuta, I know you will refuse to tell me what happened as well. That's why I won't ask anything and I won't force you to say it. I expect you will tell me when the "timing" is right or when you want to tell me. Jeesh... Men and their pride." Irene said while shaking her head.

Taehyung's eyes soften immediately and let out a soft sigh

Irene... I really don't deserve you...

"Done. Irene said and closed the tube when she realized him staring at her. "What? Do you want me to blow on it as well?" Irene asked playfully and Taehyung immediately shook his head fast which made Irene smile a bit.

"Let's go. I'll take you home." Irene said while standing up and Taehyung looked confused to her. "Come on! I can't take you inside like this! I'll explain to them. Come on!"

Taehyung smiled a bit and stood up.

"Shouldn't it be the other way around?" Taehyung asked and Irene flipped her hair

"Depends on how pretty and powerful your girlfriend is." Irene said playfully which made Taehyung laugh

"Sure, but can you take my stuff from inside?" Taehyung asked and Irene sighed

"Yes, sir." Irene said nonchalantly and walked back in

"It's a relief that Sana didn't come today. Or else, I really have no idea what will happen." Irene said while sighing a bit and Taehyung smiled a bit.

"I don't think you should worry about that. Yuta will be the one in trouble, don't you think so?" Taehyung asked and Irene nodded a bit.

"True. By the way, have you come up with an excuse to tell your parents and Sana about that." Irene said while poking Taehyung's bruise that made him move away a bit and sighed afterwards

"I guess I will tell them that I tripped while trying to play 'Try to catch me~!' with you." Taehyung said and Irene burst out in laughter

"Yeah, right. It's just as believable as 'I think I fell for you at first sight'" Irene said playfully

"Hey! It is possible!" Taehyung defended himself that made Irene laugh even harder.

"Yeah right. So believable." She said sarcastically

"Then you come up with one"

"Say I made you trip but went wrong. "

"What's the difference between yours and mine?"

"Mine proves that you're actually not that clumsy." Irene said while punched his arm

"What was that for?" Taehyung asked a bit surprised.

"To make your fall more believable." Irene joked and the two looked at each other before bursting out in laughter.

"Fine, we use your excuse." Taehyung said a bit unwilling.

"Kim Taehyung." Irene suddenly called and Taehyung looked at her. "After our exams, winter break will start... Do you have any plans yet?"

"I will be spending Christmas and new year with my family. I heard Yuta will be there as well this year." Taehyung said and Irene took a breath before she looked at him.

"Do you mind spending Christmas with me?" Irene asked and Taehyung looked at her surprised

"You want to spend Christmas and new year with me?" Taehyung asked and Irene sighed a bit.

"There is somewhere I want to go and... since Yuta is spending with Sana so I thought...." Irene bites her underlip while waiting for Taehyung's responds.

Taehyung couldn't help but smile a bit.
