Chương 23: Chapter 23: That's Our Home

Fahami's POV:

"Who said you don't have a home? Move in with me. We will live in my flat." Taesung, once again stiffened. Well, I wasn't thinking about his reaction before I blurted out.

"Umm, Taesung." I called him for his reply.

He broke the embrace and looked at me, "Noona, do you know what you are talking about?"

I bit my lips and looked down, "Look, I know it's not an excellent idea. But, what else can we do?"

"I don't think it will be a good idea at all. I am neither a good person nor a good companion for you. And living in same flat won't do anything good." He firmly said.

"Taesung, you are again deciding a decision for both of us. I am not a kid. You can't take a decision for my life. If you don't want to remain in my life, say it right now. Don't use any excuse. 'I am not good for you' , this is nothing but a pathetic excuse." I was glaring at him.

"You are misunderstanding. I don't want to be in your life not because I don't want to be with you. I am not using any excuse." Taesung tried to prove his point desperately.

"No, it is an excuse. I know what is good for me. And you are good for me. Didn't you see me smiling as long as we got along? I don't remember the last time I was that happy ever since Nabil died. Then what's wrong to be happy with you?" I hoped he would understand me.

Taesung sighed and closed eyes, "Damn it Noona, I am trying to save you and you are ruining it." He was pleading.

"Save me from what?" I yelled again.

"Me. Didn't you see me that night? Didn't you see how I behaved?" He growled.

I calmed down and asked softly, "So, this is all about that night, right? You are worried about what I thought about you?

Taesung looked down. I cupped his face with my right hand and made him look into my eyes. "I was shocked. I was wondering if you knew how to fight, why didn't you fight before? If you could defeat fifteen men, why didn't you fight with just three men? When you were stabbing that man, I was more than shocked but I understood that you were angry. Perhaps, furious is the rith term. I didn't judge you for once. All I wanted were few answers."

Taesung's eyes were gleaming with tears. He blinked rapidly to not let those drops fall.

"Fine." I sighed, "If that's what you want, I won't force you. If you want to leave then," I couldn't speak the rest words. It was getting hard for me to not break down. I stood up and walked toward the building.

"Noona."

I stopped.

"Will you let me stay in your flat?"

I looked back. Taesung stood up with his belongings. He looked like an innocent child demanding for ice creams.

"You won't say again that you are not good for me?"

Taesung shook his head. I walked to him and messed his hairs and smiled, "Let's go then."

He returned me a smile and walked with me side by side. I was happy as if I won a battle.

Taesung's POV:

I always knew about Noona's stubbornness. But I never thought she would drag me to her home.

I looked around the room and smiled.

' She really makes me do things that I never imagined I would do.'

I chuckled and laid down on the bed. It had been three hours since this room was officially declared as mine. Noona said, tomorrow we would decorate this room according to my wish.

I looked around again and decided to not change anything. This made me feel closer to Noona. Changing anything would mean changing the fact that it was Noona's home. It felt like I was engulfed in Noona's presence.

I sighed. I didn't know if I did the right thing to move in with her. I knew very well that I was not good for her. If I kept being with her, she would face more problems. But, I couldn't leave her on her own. She knew how to fight but didn't know how to protect herself. Leaving this town meant leaving her on her own. What if I left and some other thug attacked on her? What if something bad would happen to her in my absence? I wouldn't be able to live with that.

' I couldn't be more lethal than those rowdies. I will stay here as long as Noona wants me.'

Speaking of thug reminded me about that day. I never asked Noona what happened after I left like a coward. I expected police to come and arrest me but nothing happened. As if I didn't do any crime, that night didn't exist. It wasn't possible if Noona didn't do anything. Perhaps, those bastards were wanted still police should have come to inspect. I would have to ask Noona.

Hopefully, my nightmares would spare me today. Somehow it was afraid of Noona. Ever since I started avoiding Noona, it became vivid. I was waking up and screaming every other night. I deeply inhaled the intoxicating smell of Noona that lingered around the room.

' You have become the reason of my existence, Noona.' That was the last thing on my mind before I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up in the early morning. It was a habit. I blinked several times to adjust to the light. I looked around to understand where I was.

' I am at Noona's.'

I got up and walked to the next room where Noona was sleeping. She looked like an angel when she slept. She was frowning in her sleep.

' Is she having a nightmare?'

I bent over to look at her properly. When my shadow fell on her face, she sighed and her frown was fading bit by bit.

' The sunlight was disturbing her.'

I closed the curtains to let her sleep peacefully.

I freshen up and went to her kitchen to make breakfast. I didn't know how long it took, but I was beating eggs when I heard soft footstep. I turned around and found Noona standing in the kitchen door. She was wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants. Her hair looked like a bird nest. Puffy eyes, swollen lips and everything else made her look pretty. She was rubbing her eyes like a child. Cute!

I chuckled and said, "Good morning Noona."
