Chapter 31: Chapter 29

We both were sitting in silence eating our ice-creams well only I was eating as he haven't even opened the lid of the cup yet but it was not a comfortable silence at least for me as something inside me was urging me to speak, to talk to him. Come on Tae It was YOU who asked him to stay with him and now you are getting all nervous and shy. He must be thinking I am wasting his time. Speak something. "Hyung?" I spoke and he turned to look at me waiting for me to speak further. "Though Hobi hyung told me a lot about you" I said chuckling lightly at the thought of Hobi hyung blabbering about Yunki hyung for hours and he smiled in return while looking at his ice-cream. "But he never told me how you guys met?" I asked. He was silent for some seconds but then he spoke "We met in a party. A business party of our parents." He said while swinging his legs back and forth slightly. "Speaking of your parents, I have never heard you talk about your family ever and not even Hobi hyung have ever mentioned them." I asked curiously waiting for his reply. His swinging legs got stilled and his face darkened which send a shiver of fear through my body. I gulped and was ready to apologize when he spoke "I left my home." I shifted my gaze from him to the cone in my hands do not want to push the subject any further. "I am sorry if..." "It's ok. I don't care about it anymore." The silence was back but my mind was not silent. It was only thinking about his previous statement. His family is not with him and he is struggling with something but don't want anyone's help. Is it related with his family? I don't know why but a strong need to help him, to protect him surged through my body. "Hyung I know you don't think me as your close friend but always remember that I will always be there for you. If you ever need my help don't hesitate to ask. I want you to be happy, hyung." I don't know when we both started staring intensely into each others eyes. My eyes fell on his lips and back to his eyes and a strong emotion urged me to lean forward. I gulped but as like my mind was not in my control, I leaned forward, too slightly to even get noticed by me but his phone started ringing making me snapped back from my trance. "Hello?" "Yeah I am coming." "I was with one of my friend." "Yeah I will." He slipped his phone back in his pocket and stood up. "I have to go" He announced and I just nodded too embarrassed to look into his eyes anymore. "Lets go. I will drop you." He said "No it's fine. It's not that far I can go by myself." I said. Wanted to stay away from him sometime to sort out my feelings. "No way on earth I am leaving you here alone to go by yourself. It's pretty late and cold. Just come with me I am dropping you." he said and I rolled my eyes at his stubbornness but smiled afterwards at his concern for me. I nodded and stood up too. We both went back to Ice-cream parlour where he had parked his car nearby. During whole drive no one spoke and I was thankful for that. I was still feeling embarrassed about my previous thoughts. I just hope he didn't notice that. When we arrived I opened the car door and went out. "Thank you for spending time with me." I smiled genuinely and he gave me one in return while nodding. I closed the car's door and started walking towards the house's main door. He was still there making me confused so I turned to look at him with a confuse face. He smiled and said "To make sure you reach home safely." I blushed and the butterflies in my stomach started doing hip hop inside. I nodded and turned around and went into the house but stood still against the door. As I heard his car being driven away I screamed loudly to release my inner frustration. "Why the hell I thought to do that? With another man? How could I think of someone else other than Jimin?" I shouted at myself. I thought to call Jimin right then but after looking at time I decided to drop the idea. After taking a quick shower, I went to sleep in hope to forgot each and every embarrassing thing I did today.
