Chapitre 29: twenty eight
"Your lucky your kidding, because if you were serious, I would have had to pass on moving in here. There's gotta be a hundred pillows on that bed!"
~ ♡ ~
"I'm pretty sure there's only like 25."
You rolled your eyes at him. "Still, that's a lot of pillows."
"I like a lot of pillows, that way I always have something to hold. I wasn't kidding when I told you I have a hard time sleeping if I'm not holding something. I've gotten better as I've gotten older, but it still makes it easier to fall asleep if I have something, or someone, in my arms." He winked at you, and you wrinkled your nose at him.
"I love being in your arms, Tae. It's become my favorite place to be."
"Well good, because it's my favorite place to have you. I'll never get tired of holding you, y/n." He looked at you, one corner of his mouth quirking up, his eyes full of light, yet remaining serious.
He looked at his watch. "We still have a few minutes. I wanna show you the back yard." He took your hand, and led you down the stairs, and thru the kitchen, to the back door. You stepped out onto a covered patio, a grill off to one side, and a table and chairs. But it's what was in front of you that you didn't expect. There was a big in ground pool, several lounge chairs scattered around the perimeter. The entire back yard was in fact, fenced in with privacy fence. The pool took up most of it, but there were areas of grass, and the back corners held triangular flower beds.
"Oh my gosh, this is amazing. I would have never imagined something like this. I would think you would spend your whole summer here."
He laughed, nodding. "I'd love to, but I don't have time. Every once in awhile, when we get a few days off, all the guys will come here to hang out and swim in the pool, so it does get used every year. I just opened it up last week. It's heated, so technically, we don't have to wait until it's in the 80's to swim in it. "
"I can't wait to be able to swim in it. I'll have to buy a bathing suit though. I didn't bring one with me."
"Hmm...I think you should let me pick a bathing suit for you." He said, his index finger pressed to his lips as he thought.
You looked at him suspiciously, not sure how to take him. "I don't know if I trust you to pick a bathing suit for me. I feel like I should be worried, like you might pick something overly revealing."
He snorted. "Revealing? Absolutely not. In fact, I think I'll have something custom made for you. It's going to cover you from your neck to your ankles."
You looked at him, confused. "So...you don't want to see me in a bathing suit?" You asked slowly.
"Oh, I would love to see you in a bathing suit, the more revealing the better. I just don't want anyone else to see you in a bathing suit." He pouted cutely as he looked at you.
You giggled, thinking he was cute when he was jealous. But you quickly became serious. "Tae, I promise you that you have nothing to worry about, no reason to be jealous. I am not interested in any of the guys, or anyone else for that matter. My eyes only see you. Your arms are the only ones I want around me." His pout faded away, as his eyes held yours, looking slightly unsure. "I've come to realize in the time we've spent together, Tae, that your my whole world, and there is nothing, or no one, that can change that."
He looked away, chewing on the inside of his bottom lip, his gaze resting on the floor. His eyes were restless, moving from side to side, and you watched him, waiting to see if he was going to speak. He took a breath, holding it for a few seconds before exhaling. "Remind me to tell you something later. I would tell you now, but we don't have time. We should probably start heading towards the dorm. If I'm late, they're going to bug me about it forever."
You nodded, and followed him back inside. He locked the back door, and the two of you went out the front, locking the door and hurrying back to the sidewalk. You could tell he was in a hurry, so you stayed silent, and did your best to keep up with his stride, his legs being longer than yours making it difficult.
You'd been walking for probably 20 minutes when his phone dinged, and he yanked it out of his pocket. "Yeah Yeah, I know, there's less then an hour left before we're all supposed to be meeting" he grumbled, before he'd even looked at it. He typed his passcode, and opened his messages. He chuckled, and shook his head, rolling his eyes.
"What's so funny?" you asked, trying not to sound out of breath.
"Jimin is being a pervert. He thinks we aren't there yet because we fell asleep after wild sex and lost track of the time."
You pressed your lips together, holding in your laugh because the wild sex part wasn't that far off. "Are you going to reply?"
"No. I'm just going to flick him in the forehead when we get there." He looked at you without a hint of a smile on his face.
You laughed. Then you decided you really needed to exercise more, because you were so out of breath. "Tae, I can't keep up with you and your long legs..." He slowed down a bit.
"Sorry y/n." He reached for your hand, folding his fingers thru yours. "We're almost there. We could have walked slower, but I didn't want to take the chance. I'd have probably been jogging if you hadn't been able to come with me, but that's only because I'd have waited until the last possible minute to leave you."
You couldn't help but smile at that. He turned a corner, and pointed. "The dorm is just up ahead. Another block and a half. We made better time then I thought." He looked at his watch. "We'll get there right on time."
He squeezed your hand and picked up the pace again, pulling you along. It was easier that way for some reason, and you didn't feel so out of breath. A few minutes later you were entering the building, and hurrying toward the elevators. Once you reached his floor, he walked quickly to his door, and swiped the card to open it. "Just wait here, I'm going to go change and we'll get going. We have 15 minutes to make it to the agency."
He hurried down the hall, and you sat on the chair nearest the door, waiting for him to return. Less then 2 minutes later, he was coming back up the hall, and he grabbed your hand and opened the door, urging you out and pulling it closed behind him.
It was a very brisk walk to the agency building, and he was right. He made it right on time. He barged into the room where everyone was waiting to meet, and all 6 of them, as well as a few other people in the room, turned to look at him.
"Taehyung, you made it! I told everyone not to worry, that you'd get here on time." Jimin said, smiling facetiously. Tae walked right up to him, and deliberately flicked him right on the forehead.
"OW...What was that for?" Jimin whined, rubbing his forehead.
You covered your mouth with your hand to keep from giggling out loud. Tae just glared at him, but you noticed there was a hint of a smile on his lips.
"Ok you guys, enough goofing off." Namjoon scolded. "Sometimes I question if Jungkook is actually the youngest one of us..." he mumbled under his breath.
"I heard that" Jimin said, as Jungkook just stood there looking smug.
"Alright, lets get going you guys. We're taking two cars for the 7 of us and y/n, she can ride in the same car as Taehyung since she's his guest, so 4 to a car. I don't care who rides with who, but I know you all probably want to ride with y/n. Obviously, that's not possible, so lets try to be adults about this. If that's not possible, let me know now, and I'll assign everyone to a car." Namjoon looked at each of the guys, and they all nodded.
"How bout we just have the maknae line and y/n in one car, and the rest of us in the other car..." Hobi suggested.
"That sounds perfect to me." Jin agreed, and Yoongi nodded, adding "Yeah, we have lots of time to hang out with y/n, lets just focus on our performance tonight."
Everyone agreed, and they all filed out the door, Jimin grabbing your hand and keeping you close. Tae narrowed his eyes, and Jimin gave him a look. At the elevator, everyone got on, except for you, Tae, Jungkook, and Jimin. The four of you had to wait due to there being a limit to how many passengers were allowed in a car.
As you waited for the elevator to come back up, Tae seemed agitated, his jaw clenching. Jimin still held your hand in his, but you were pretty sure you knew what he was doing, and Tae should actually be thanking him.
The doors finally opened and the four of you got on the elevator, Jimin pushing the close button rapidly, you guessed so that the doors would close before anyone else could get on the elevator with you.
Once closed, Tae grabbed your other hand, pulling you from Jimin, who huffed out a breath. "You pabo, I'm trying to help you."
"How is holding my girlfriends hand supposed to be helping me, exactly?"
"Because she isn't supposed to be your girlfriend, genius! If you're the only one ever seen holding her hand, don't you think that's going to start looking suspicious?" Jimin widened his eyes at Tae, who finally looked like he understood, his features relaxing, and he sighed, reluctantly letting go of your hand, allowing Jimin to take it once again.
