Chapter 9

Orange Blossom [Haitus]

-During the car ride to the cinema-

“I apologise on behalf on the boys if they made you feel uncomfortable just now.”

“Don’t worry, it was really fun actually. It’s been sometime since I’ve had so much fun, thank you for bringing me along today Taehyung”

“Call me Tae and where is the ‘oppa’? I am older than you” he said smiling at me warmly, his eyes formed crescents as his cheek bones went up and his signature rectangular smile could be seen.

“Thank you, Tae..” He raised an eyebrow like he was waiting for me to say something else, actually he was but saying the word ‘oppa’ brings back a lot of not very good memories for me so it’s taking a while for me to conjure the word up.

“O-oppa”

“Now that’s a good girl. You can take a short nap first if you are tired”

“No, I’m good. By the way, sorry about just now. You know the whole ‘Jimin you’re cute’ thing.”

“O-oh it’s nothing. I don’t know what’s gotten into me, it’s not like we are together or anything.”

“Yea..” I replied and looked out the window. I’ve definitely started falling for this guy. From his looks to his really naïve and sweet personality. *If only we could be together*

-At the cinema-

"What movies do you people want to watch?"

"I opt for horror"

Though there were groans of protest about watching a horror film eventually everybody still agreed to watch it in the end. *I'm so gonna make a fool out of myself* I though silently as I unconsciously let out a sigh, Taehyung must have caught that because he looked at me worried. "Is everything okay?"

"Yea I'm good"

"Don't lie to me I know you are afraid of horror movies, I can get them to change the movie if you want"

"No don't, I don't want everybody to have to change because of me. After all, if anything happens I'll push you to your death first" I said and gave him a sly smile.

"Yah! How can you be so mean to me? But it can't be helped either, I'm so manly so you have no choice but to lean on me" Taehyung boast flexing his muscles with his face of absolute arrogance.

"Yea right! Like I would lean on you. I can protect myself" I replied holding my fist up

"Sure you can. Just like how you gradually moved behind me and ran out of the arcade in California?" Taehyung mused.

"Yah! Must you bring that up? It’s a one-time thing"

"Yah? I'm your Oppa mind you!" Taehyung lightly chided and ruffled my hair so much that it's in a mess now "Aish, you definitely do not act like one!" I shouted back as I tried to hit him with my fist. Just as I was about to land a punch on him, Taehyung managed to grab hold of my wrist and pulled me forward towards him. I crashed into his chest and it was my nose that took all the impact, I'm pretty sure I heard my nose break. "Oppa will always be stronger than you" the hair at the back of my neck stood up as Taehyung whispered huskily into my right ear. At the very moment, I felt my cheeks heat up, there were butterflies in my stomach for the second time that night and my mind went completely blank. "B-bull" I stuttered a little.

I leaned away rubbing my now aching nose. "Did you hurt your little nose?" Taehyung laughed getting hold of my nose and wriggling it from side to side. "Yahhh" I whined pouting "Aigo, why are you so cute" Taehyung ruffled my hair yet again, messing it up once more, and this time he also squished my cheeks together. I shot Taehyung a murderous glare and was about to advance on him again when my phone rang. I took my phone out and saw the name ‘TY’ I sighed unconsciously. From the corner of my eye, I saw Taehyung’s hand reaching out to me. Taking a step back I gave him a small smile pointing to my phone indicating that I need to be excused for a little while. I walked away from the group far enough so that my conversation with Tyler could not be heard.

“Shoot”

“Where are you? You’ve been out a lot recently”

“You called just to say all these to me?”

“Turn around”

I did as he told and I saw Tyler standing right behind me. I panicked and pulled him along with me behind a nearby wall “What the hell are you doing here! Did you follow me here!” I harshly whispered.

“I happen to be around when I saw you and a group of people hanging out together, just who are they Minjung? Not to mention the boy who was acting all chummy with you”

“That’s not your problem. Just go home would you” I said and turned my body ready to leave but got held back by Tyler. “No, you’re coming home with me” He demanded *What the hell is wrong with him tonight?* “Let go of me Tyler” I ordered as I tried to pry his hand off my wrist. “No come home with me, I don’t like you with them. What if they hurt you?” I sigh as I managed to get Tyler’s hand off of mine “They are nice people. They wouldn’t hurt me in any way okay? Now go home and look after the rest” I sort of ordered him and walked away back to where Taehyung and the rest were.

Just as I turned a corner a wave of dizziness swept over me and I had to hold onto the wall for support. My vision started to go black *. Why is it happening now?* I thought to myself clutching onto my head. Every time this happens the pain in my head worsens and the black out period gets longer and longer. This is like my what? Third or fourth time this month? The occurrence is getting more often. The last time it happened so often was about a year back?

Before I had an operation done, it was all because of that incident that caused me to be in this state today. Out of nowhere, Taehyung appeared while I was cussing under my breath. “Minjung, are you okay?” I pretended that I was okay and stood up straight though I was still ‘blind’. “What was the phone call about?”

“Nothing important. Let’s go back now shall we?” I asked pulling Taehyung along with me. I relied on my instincts and senses to help navigate where I was going so I wouldn’t give myself away. Slowly, little by little my vision was returned to me.

Throughout the whole movie, I tried to keep still but I failed miserably and Taehyung would take these chances to laugh at me. **. At least the other boys were either too busy holding onto their girlfriends or to engrossed in the show. By the time the movie had ended it was way past midnight and the girls had fallen asleep in the arms of their lover boys. We decided to call it a day and head home, after saying our goodbyes we each went our sepreate ways.

-In the car-

“You can close your eyes if you are tired” I heard Taehyung oppa suggested as he drove out swiftly of the car park.

“I’m good. You seem tired why don’t I take over to drive?”

“No can do young lady. Me letting you drive will make me look less of a man, not to mention if my hyungs hear about this they’re sure to lecture me on how to treat a girl right. And no way in hell would I go through that.” Taehyung said scrunching up his nose.

“Hey mind you I’m only a year younger than you so don’t act all high and mighty with me”

“I have lived a year longer than you and ate 1,095 more bowls of rice”

“So what?” I Sulked folding my arms like a kid. It’s not that I am naturally like that but it just happens when I am around a certain 4D guy named none other than Taehyung. I tend to bring myself to the same level of childishness and cuteness to match him. For the record, I am nothing like this. Sure sometimes I get compliments on how cute I am but this is just too much. At least I haven’t been like this since the incident.

“Aww is somebody sulking?” he cooed looking over to my direction for a mere second before turning back to face the road. I rolled my eyes and looked out the window once again but this time pulling the baseball jacket closer to me. It was cold I am not going to lie, but I didn’t want him to turn down the aircon since he seemed okay with it but like always he seems to be able to read me. “You can just tell me if it’s cold”

“Ah, I didn’t want to trouble you that’s all. After all I am still wearing your jacket.” Silence enveloped us once again with the occasional small talks we had about the most random things in the world. Soon, I was back at the bus stop that Taehyung had picked me up from this morning. “Thank you for the ride” I said about to take off the jacket when Taehyung stopped me. “Keep it on. It’s cold out and you wouldn’t let me send you to your door step.”

“But the boys said that this jacket means a lot to you. Are you sure that you don’t want it back? Heck I didn’t even expect you to lend it to me considering that it is so precious to you.”

“Aish those people.” Taehyung said as he ran his hand through his hair “Well, whatever the case, you can hold onto it for now.” I contemplated for a little “I’ll wash it then return it to you, how that sound?” He nodded eagerly. I only managed to walk a few steps before I heard Taehyung calling for me. I turned around and was him running towards me with a phone in his hand. *Is that my phone?*

“Here, you dropped this on my car.”
“Ah, thank you” I contemplated for very long, should I or should I not? After much fighting between the devil and angel on my shoulder I finally came to a decision. I closed my eyes and enveloped Taehyung in a brief hug before letting go. My cheeks redden and though it was cold out I could feel myself sweating. I looked up to see a speechless Taehyung. “Go home safely!” I shouted and ran away in the opposite direction. A good distance away I stopped running and I heard engines roared to life, I turned my head a little to see him already driving off into the night. I grabbed onto the jacket and pulled it closer to my body as I walked down to cold and quiet street, *This is his jacket* that thought alone made me smile all the way back to the base.

Taehyung POV

I stood there for a good 5 minutes before coming back to my senses. What the hell just happened? Did the girl I’m starting to have feelings for just hug me and ran away? Smiling to myself I walked back to the car and started the engine before driving off. *This girl is going to be the end of me*

Chapter 3: Your story is good! It's kind of refreshing to read that the girl is actually a criminal and the boy is police.
