Minjung POV

The next morning I woke up feeling like crap, the wounds from last night has yet to heal, moreover I’ve just recovered from the injuries I got from the last mission. I groaned and dragged my body to a  upright sitting position, I took my phone from the nightstand and pressed the lock button. The screen lit up showing that it was 2 in the afternoon and I had 3 missed calls and 5 text messages from Tyler, 5 missed calls and more than 15 messages from Taehyung. I gave Tyler a call asking him why he had called and texted me, no, spammed me with calls and messages. He doesn’t do that unless it’s really important. Tyler’s frantic and worried voice resonated through my phone. “Are you okay? Why did you take so long to call back? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

“What are you talking about? hos-“ It was then I realised what he meant, he knew about the gun shot wound. But how? Unless..no he wouldn’t. “Were you the one?” I asked through gritted teeth. “What? No! Are you crazy? I meant I intended to scare the boy a little but I would never attempt to shoot”
“Why did you even want to scare him in the first place? What he hell is wrong with you Ty!”
“You shouldn’t even be with him and you know that! You know who he is and what he does for a living. YOu can't be together and you know it, even if you were to be able to accept him it doesn't mean that he will do the same for you”
“I don’t need to listen to you. Whatever you think you’re doing is right it’s not okay. I make my own choices!”
“Jung”
“Don’t. I’m hanging up.” And I did, I took a deep breath before going to take a shower.

After I had finished with dressing myself, a black hoodie with shorts, and drying my hair I looked at the clock on my room wall which showed that it was about 3.15, I took longer than usual to bath because of the wounds. It was then I felt like I should have done something before I took a bath, staring at my phone it finally hit me. *Dumb girl* I had to call Taehyung and tell him that I was okay. I picked up my phone and prepared to dial his number when the doorbell rang. *That’s weird. Nobody knows I live here* I cautiously walked towards my main door and at the same time took a gun that was attached underneath my dining table. As I took slow and steady steps towards the door the knocking and ringing got louder, my heart pound faster. With the gun behind my door in my hand together with the door handle, I pressed down and pulled the door open.

I will admit, I was really shocked to see who stood behind the door. I could have almost killed him! “Taehyung” I exclaimed in surprise “What are you doing here? How do you know I’m here?”
“I followed your car yesterday to make sure you got home safely. I tried calling and texting you but there wasn’t a single reply from you so I panicked thinking that something happened to you.” *He’s worried about me?* “Well, I am still breathing. Shouldn’t you be at work now?”
“I got off early because I wanted to come see you.”
“Come on in then” I invited Taehyung into my home, the first person to ever step in here aside from me.

I casually place my gun in my coat that was hanging on a rack that was drilled into the wall behind the door. “You have a lovely home. I see you're someone who likes a simple layout.”
"Right, it just makes running away easier.." I mumbled under my breath so that Taehyung wouldn't be able to her me.
“Thank you. Would you like anything to drink?”
“Just water will do, thanks” I nodded and headed into the kitchen to pour some water along with some snacks. After digging around for snacks I carried the items back to the living room, I extended my hand out to Taehyung with a glass of water. “Thanks”
“Well... What makes you able to knock off work early?” “Jimin is covering for me.” There was a minute of silence before Taehyung broke the silence, I mean this is an impromptu meeting and I just got shot the night before because of him, so yea this is awkward.

“How’s your wound?”
“It’s healing”
“Have you changed the dressing?”
“Ah it slipped my mind” A chuckle escaped Taehyung’s lips “You’re such a little girl” he said ruffling my hair “now where’s your first aid kid?”
“There’s one in the toilet” I could hear him rummaging through my toilet “Hey I can’t find it you sure it’s here?”
“I’ll come get it” I said pushing myself off the couch.

-In the toilet-

“It’s up here” I leaned in towards the sink and extended my hand upwards trying to reach the top shelf, but being the not so tall and at times clumsy girl I am, I lost my footing and fell. “Watch out!” I heard Taehyung yell from behind me. I waited for the impact, or worst for me to feel the excruciating pain from the wound, but it never came. When I opened my eyes I got the shock of my life. My body was pressed against his with no space left between us, our nose touching and if either one of us were to even move our lips would have touched. His arm around my waist felt secure and the hand behind my head felt warm, I could feel his hot breath against my cheeks and I swear I am losing my mind from being this close to him. I couldn’t even conjure up any words, my eyes travelled to his delicious kissable lips and back to his eyes and at the same time letting my tongue glide over my own moisting it in the process.

Taehyung didn’t back down either, he stared right back into my eyes. I didn’t know for how long we were in that position but the whole world seemed to have stopped just for us. The only thing I could feel and hear at that point in time was only the sound of my heart beating at more 100km/hour. Taehyung's eyes travelled back down to my lips, and this time his face inched closer to mine. Just as his lips brushed passed mine, my phone rang *Dang! I will murder whoever is calling over the phone!* Taehyung seemed to have snapped out of whatever trance he was in and awkwardly cleared his throat before stepped back away from me mumbling “I’ll wait for you in the living room” The moment Taehyung stepped out I roughly grabbed my phone out from my pocket and swiped the call icon without looking at the caller ID.

“What!”
“Jung, just listen to me please?”
“Now is not a good time you know that! What is it that you want to say?”
“About last night I-“
“let me just stop you there. Firstly, why are you trying to explain over the phone? Secondly, you couldn't have found a better timing to call. Thirdly, the fact that you even had the heart and thought to do it is just.. I don’t even know how to describe it. Why are you even meddling with my life?”
“I am actually under your private condo now. I know I shouldn’t have even tried to do anything or to even meddle with your life but I will explain it to you when I see you okay? I’m in the elevator coming up now.” *Are you ing kidding me now* 

I groan mentally and panicked a little. “No! Don’t come over. I’ll see you at night”
“Why? But I’m already at your door. Come open the door”
“No, Tyler go home. I’ll see you at night” I heard him sigh over the phone “Fine” and the line was cut. I washed up a little before going to join Taehyung back in the living room. “Gosh Jung, come and sit down so I can take a look at your wound which has re-opened.. I can call you 'Jung', right" Taehyung said as he pointed to the patch of blood forming on my black hoodie. "Sure you can" I had to take off my hoodie in order for Taehyung to change my dressing but he seems a little red faced at my not so covered body. "I just realised.. how are you so fine? I mean shouldn't you be looking pale, sorry for my use of language, as right now?"
"Maybe? But i'm okay, i really am. I don't go down so easily and i guess my body just heals faster so the blot had clot faster" Taehyung seemed to be doubting me and wondering what kind of person i am, but he nodding as a sign of understanding anyways.

“Hey you okay?”
“I erm yea sure” I chuckled and motioned for him to pass me a pillow from behind him so I could cover up parts that was making him nervous. After helping me sanitise my wounds and dressing them once more I thanked him and went to put on a simple plain black shirt. “Have you eaten anything ittle girl?” I chuckled and looked over to Taehyung “I had things on my mind and it completely slipped my mind. Again”
“This supports my previous statement”
“What statement?”

"About you being a little girl” Right after he said that he did the most unexpected thing, and that was to tickle me. “Ow you’re hurting me, the wound!” I shouted out as he laid his hands on my side. I curled up pressing my side while facing away from him. “Oh my god Jung. I’m so sorry. . I’m sorry.” I could hear him cursing as he carefully approached me. That was when I made my move “Kidding! My wound is in the middle and near the chest area” I shouted and pounced on him tackling him and taking him by surprise. I straddled him by his waist and held his hands by the side of his face “Don’t ever for one second think that you can sneak a move like that on me”

“Do you think that you’re actually stronger than me?” Taehyung asked and smirked like I had just said the most ridiculous statement of the century. I mean i can't blame him, he doesn't know what i do for a living. “As a matter of fact I do. Why? Do you think otherwise?”  
“Oh I don’t know. Do I? The little puppy thinks she’s tough, but we’ll see how she fairs when the wolf comes out to play shall we?” Taehyung whispered into my ear as he placed his sinful mouth beside my right ear, sending shivers down my spine. In a spilt second I was flipped over and pinned under Taehyung with my hand above my head. Okay, so maybe i was wrong on this one. You can't blame me, after being in the field for so long i've hardly met a guy who is stronger than me. At least not when I last saw them. I tried to lift my hand up, I tried to use my strength to get of out this position heck I even tried kicking him in the private sector but playfully of course.

Still being in the submissive position, he leaned down towards me and smiled at me playfully “Oopsy?”
“Taehyung let go of me this instance”
“Taehyung? What happen to oppa you little brat?” and as soon as those words left his mouth he started tickling me on the sides, avoiding wound. Although he had forgotten the fact that when you laugh your stomach muscles actually contract so yes, my wound hurts a little but i wasn't going to let him know that. I laughed so much I’m pretty sure that tears were coming out of my eyes and after torturing me for what felt like a decade Taehyung finally stopped. “Now who’s the alpha?”
“Fine you are, happy? I’ll just get you another time when I feel better.” “We’ll see won’t we? Now, what should you call me?”

I rolled my eyes before asking him to release me “oppa, let go of me and we can get something to eat. You’re the one to call me a ‘little girl’ yet the ‘big boy’ isn’t getting me any food”
“We’re playing this game now are we?”
“We can if you want”
“Thanks but no thanks, I’d rather get some food. I’m starving” he said pushing himself off of me as I took my house phone to call for pizza and sweet n sour pork.

While waiting for the food Taehyung and I watched a film named ‘A dog’s purpose’ it was really sad but I managed to hold my tears in, Taehyung on the other hand didn’t hold it together that well. We, or in this case I, had a really good laugh. out food arrived shortly and we finished it within seconds, it was like we were inhaling the food instead of eating it. “I should leave, it’s late and you probably want to get some sleep. It’s good that your wound is healing but please, I beg you, remember to change the dressing! I’ll check up on you soon okay!”
“Yes oppa”
“That’s a good girl” Just then, my phone rang.

Without looking at the caller ID, again, I swiped my right thumb over the bright green icon. It was Tyler. He wanted to meet me and I promised him I would just now in the afternoon, he wants to apologise to me after what he attempted to do the night before. I sighed and told him that I’ll see him at the park near my private home. “Hey you okay? What was that phone call about?” Taehyung asked after hearing my reluctant voice when answering Tyler. “Yea I’m good. I need to head out for a while so you’re welcomed to stay or leave while I change into something warm.” I said and left for the bedroom without waiting for his reply.

When I came out dressed in a warm and cosy winter pants and hoodie with my winter coat, I saw Taehyung sitting in the same position I left him a few minutes ago to go get changed. “You’re still here?”
“Why wouldn’t I be? Plus I wanted to give you a lift to where you’re headed to, I don’t think you should be driving with a wound” “I have a wound around my abdomen and chest area not my hands or legs”
“But still, I am sending you”
“Then what if I am going somewhere far? How would I get home after that?”
“I can just wait in the car for you?”
“Are you nuts?”
“Maybe”
“Urgh, I am not going to argue with you. I am just going across the street to meet a friend for a little so I don’t need a lift anywhere” “Then let me walk you over? Then I’ll leave I promise”
“Fine. Let’s go”

So we left my apartment and went over to the park, I didn't intend for my words to come out this way but I really wasn't in the mood after that phone call from Tyler. “Here is far enough. I’ll see you at the party?”
“Yea, let me know when you get home okay?”
“Yes, now run along” I took my time to stroll towards the destination where I was supposed to meet Tyler. For some reason I felt reluctant to see him today, I feel like something is not right. Nevertheless, I went. He was sitting on a bench by the pond with his back towards me. I let out a sigh before making my way over to where he was seated, I silently sat down beside him and the silence enveloped us.

“What is it that you wanted to say to me?” I could hear him let out a soft sigh before turning to face me. “Are you cold?”
“I’m fine Ty.” Tyler suddenly stood up out of nowhere shocking me, he extended his hand out to me making me as confused as ever. The only reaction or reply that I got out of him was him laughing as he gestured for me to hold on to his out stretched hand. I warily placed my hand in his and followed him blindly to where ever he was planning on taking me to. We soon arrived at a secluded corner of the park that was decorated beautifully. Fairy lights were hanging from the trees, there were pastel coloured balloons and white lanterns covering the land like snow and in the middle of it all was a picnic mat decorated with a mixture of different coloured rose petals which spelled out ‘Will you be my girlfriend?’

I stood there rooted to the ground with my mouth hung wide opened. *Just what is going on here* “Minjung” I turned around and saw Tyler on his knees, holding a bouquet of dark red carnations which means love and affection. “Jung, I’ve known you for over a year now and throughout this whole year I have watched you and fallen for you. I know I am not the best person to be with at times but I hope that you can give me a chance to prove my love for you. We can leave this life behind us and start a new, I will be a better person for you. You make me go crazy at times with your stubbornness but I love you. Please be mine?”

I was just speechless and the only thing that was running through my mind was how am I going to deal with this situation. I’ve always only looked at Tyler as a brother, someone who I can go to when I am in a dilemma not a potential life partner. I may be a cold hearted when it comes to killing to get the job done but I do still feel for the people close to me so rejecting Tyler now would be a challenge but I won't and can't be with him beacuse I do not love him like how he loves me. One thing for sure, nothing is going to be the same between us after this night.

“Look Ty, you’re a really nice guy but I don’t see you in ‘that’ way.” Great that is probably the most commonly used sentence in the books, I mentally smacked myself and hope that Tyler wouldn’t take this the wrong way. “Why? Just let us try and who knows maybe you’ll change your thinking”
“No Ty it doesn’t work this way… I’m sorry but we should just remain as friends” I mentally rolled my eyes *Great, another commonly used sentence. Real creative Minjung* Tyler sighed and stood up looking really glum “Is it because you already have someone you like? The boy that you having been hanging out recently? The reason why you’ve been checked out lately?”

“What? No. I don’t know. Look there will be someone who will love and appreciate you more than I can okay?”
“But she isn’t you, it won’t be the same” I have no idea how else I should reply him and you can’t blame me, I have never been in such a situation. Silence enveloped the both of us like a blanket, neither of us moved or even make a sound. Slowly, I took steps back “I’m sorry Tyler” With that being the last words spoken I turned around and ran without stopping. I mean there wasn’t anything that I could have done, things were as awkward as it can be.

I have no idea how we’re going to continue working with each other and do you want to know what the best part is? We have a job to do tomorrow, together. I don’t know how things are going to go tomorrow but I’ll try my best. Tyler falling for me was the last thing I’ll expect, like I’ve mentioned before he is a nice guy but not the right guy for me. Another thing to add to my list of never ending problems. Great. I was definitely not getting any sleep tonight so I must as well hit the gym or go find out more information which I came for in the first place. In the end I went for a workout and for the first time in my life I fell asleep in the freaking gym! I mean can you believe that? I took my gym towel and exited the gym as quickly as I could. Upon reaching back home I took a quick shower before heading out. What could be installed for me today?
