Day 11

-Mio-

After two days of absence I went back to the forensic lab, as normal. Everyone looked at me with cheerful smiles and greetings, completely forgetting the case. I did too.

While putting on my lab coat and reaching up at the cabinet for the latex gloves I felt fingers brush on the sensitive side of my ribs. I end up dissolving into giggles and falling into their embrace from behind. Looking up with tears of laughter I see Taehyung looking down at me.

“I never knew you were ticklish at that spot,” he pursed his lips. With a growl I sat straight back up and pushed him away.

“Yah! What the hell? You can't do these things like that at the workplace!” I whispered in a low tone. He shrugged, and soon he wrapped his arms around my waist; leaning in to kiss my temple and snuggled his cheek against mine. I rolled my eyes and sighed, letting it slide. Seriously though, since when did he get so cheesy around me? Not that I'm complaining or anything,but cheesy Tae is quite adorable.

When everyone else was in their dorms I went out the main room and brewed a fresh cup of coffee for Tae and a fresh cup of tea for myself. I made sure that BTS was out of sight before Taehyung would start showing more public affection. Truth be told, he never told BTS we began to date. Which was surprising – I thought he was pretty open to them after staying in the SIU for so long with the boys. “Why don't you tell them?”I asked; sipping my tea.

“It's...a long story.” he sighed. “I mean, I did want to tell them eventually, but I'm afraid for what they're going to say. We have a strict dating policy.” he says with a serious tone. I slowly placed my cup on the table. My mouth formed an 'o' and I nodded slowly.

“Did you guys make it up, or did the investigations unit did?” I asked.

“Oh, BTS did. We promised to not date or be in any romantic relationship that interferes with our line of work. It's what keeps us focus and away from distractions such as a girlfriend.”

“Does that mean that I'm too much of a distraction?” I teased. He thought I was serious; by the look on his face – pure shock. I had to bite my lip from laughing out loud and keep the teasing going. “Well, if that's what BTS thinks then maybe we should break up.” I stated out loud, crossing my arms.

He blinked, but soon he caught on. With a smirk he put down his cup and resting his elbow on the table he inched closer with each step. Then he rested his fingers on my own. “Maybe...” his fingers trailed up to my shoulder. I felt a spark ignite the spine of my back. “as long as I'm distracted by you it would be fine.” oh god. So much cheesiness I'm cringing.

With one more step he cupped my chin and kissed me long and sweet on my lips, which I melted into his kiss. I sighed happily as I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling the tug of his hand to draw me closer to his body. The only thing wrapped around my head was his smell; the smell of cinnamon.

Slowly retracting apart he planted little kisses on my face, trying to make me laugh. Of course he never disappoints. I tried telling him to not do these things or someone might come in and catch us, but he didn't care no matter how I had to tell him.

“Just one little kiss isn't going to hurt anyone.” he smiled, leaning in. I backed away from him, but he already he was one step ahead and used his hand that was around my waist to trap me so I wouldn't escape.

Just when he was inches to my face we heard the door slam shut and a loud booming voice.

“HYUNG HAVE YOU SEEN MY-” Jungkook came in. Immediately we jumped back to the point that Taehyung's hand managed to slide his cup and make it drop to the floor. The maknae gasped wide-eyed.

“My...cup...” he finished. “that was my FAVORITE CUP HYUNG!” he shouted at him. With an apologetic smile Taehyung ended up cleaning the mess whilst behind him, I couldn't help but chuckle. He heard, and when Jungkook was too busy moping around Taehyung gave me a death glare in return.

But luckily, we never got caught by Jungkook. So for the whole day Taehyung had to be even more careful with making sure no one was around if he wanted to show public affection.

The second time was when we were in the main room with BTS and we were filing one last details on recurring cases. He was sitting beside me on the couch while I was writing down the last report for the DNA; and his arm slung over my shoulder. While everyone else was busy at their own desks Taehyung quietly leaned in and kissed the top lobe of my ear. I blushed and hid a quiet smile. When he was about to do it a second time Namjoon came over and slapped more piles of paper on the table.

“Here are some more papers to mark the reports on. We need to finish them by the end of today.” he instructed. I reached over and thanked him, all the while I looked over at Taehyung. He sighed and slumped back into the cushion with a grumpy frown. The third time was when I went to the nearby grocery store and we had to find some produce for dinner. Taehyung tried to make me laugh while we were picking out fresh cabbages. He was making weird faces while I laughed, pushing him away and that he was being too childish.

"Omo, you're laughing so hard that you're whole face's red! Like a red beet!" he said with a smile, while I punched him playfully on the arm, that made my cheeks burn even brighter. leaning in he gave a small smile before he pressed his nose against mine, while I rubbed my nose with his in return.

We stared at each other so close that I knew he was going to kiss me, to which he was to do so until someone showed up.

"Taehyung-ah! I found the lemons~" Hoseok came around in the corner. I had a head of cabbage between Taehyung and I and while he never noticed he placed his lips on the leafs instead. Taehyung jerked away and spit on the floor; wiping his lips with his hand. Hoseok laughed.

"Taehyung, why are you kissing a cabbage?" he grinned; leaning closer to me he whispered, "he must be dying to have a new love life." I bit down my lip to not start laughing, and Taehyung was trying so hard not to rip this guy's throat to pieces.

By after dinner I told him to just tell the others already that we're dating.

"I can't! We have a strict-" he insisted.

"I know, but I don't want to keep hiding this from them forever. I'm pretty sure you don't want to either. But please, let's just see what they say first okay?" I intertwined my fingers with his. with a defeated sigh he nodded and soon we called the rest of BTS to come in my office.

"What's this about?" Jimin rubbed his eyes, to which I assumed he just took a nap not so long ago. with a determined smile I squeezed Taehyung's hand even tighter.

"I know you may not approve of this, but...Taehyung and I, are dating." I announced. the room went still silent for a few minutes, and the boys just stared in shock.

“You guys...are...?” Jin looked at the timid boy beside me and back to my direction. I nodded.

“I hope you guys can consider about me dating him. And I'm sorry for telling you guys all so late.” I bowed in apology. But soon, I heard a slight giggle. What?

Looking up I see Yoongi rolling his eyes and sighed, taking out his wallet and handing a few won to the giggling kid. Namjoon and Jungkook smiled at each other and laughed. They high-fived each other in the most victorious expression. Hoseok and Jin had begun to dance around happily. And I? I have never been so confused in my life.

When I looked over at Taehyung in thinking he had the same expression like mine, he just rolled his eyes.

“They sort of...bet on whether I was going to ask you out or not.” he explained. My mouth dropped to the floor. They made a bet?! I smacked Taehyung on the arm, which he yelped and pulled back. I crossed my arms and fixated my glare to him.

“Why didn't you stop them then? And why did you lie to me?!” I snapped.

“He thought we were just kidding around about betting, but we really did.” Jungkook grinned, counting the money in his hands that he got from Yoongi as well.

“I didn't bet, but Jin and I knew you were both going to end up together anyways.” Hoseok nodded.

I couldn't help but chuckle myself. "Aish, you guys are such dorks." Turning to my boyfriend I whispered: “at least we don't have to hide it from them now.” he scoffed.

“You can say that again.” he hummed in agreement. I rose an eyebrow.

“You're not off the hook, just saying.” with that I walked away from the giddy little group while Taehyung chased me around in a desperate need of an apology. Of course, I did forgive him for he himself never knew – somewhat – about the bet. Besides, it was fun teasing him.

-Taehyung-

After a long tired day I took a nice, hot shower in soothing my aching muscles. Putting on a fresh clean white tee and gray sweats I looked over at my beeping phone from an incoming text. Picking it up it was, no doubt, Mio:

Wah, getting tired. Don't miss me too much! ^^ -Mio

I miss you already tho. Night jagiya

Oh, wth? Now you're being so cheesy over the phone too? -.- whatever, I'll let it slide. But prepare for a smashed up face tomorrow! -Mio

I laughed, dropping my phone on my bed. God, I love teasing her. But I sort of wish I could say those same things face-to-face, seeing her smile grow while I kiss her cheek while we lie down next to each other. I miss her pushing me away from and in the midst of all the laughs for the night we would just cuddle all over again. For one night, I wish to be with her all through morning.

Sighing I wondered, how she was doing being home alone. With her parents she lost contact with and her sister leaving her at a young age I can't imagine how overwhelmed she felt about all that.

Speaking of which, her sister... didn't she say she used to be part of the PIU? With my curiosity bubbling I went over to my computer desk and opened my laptop, searching over to the PIU profiles. Soon, I began to search for the name: Mio Aoshi.

Then, I clicked ENTER.
