Feelings ?

I've been staying in my room for days. I only go out when I need for and go to work. I wanted to know if Jimin cares about me but it seemed like he didn't.

He just let me do what I want without asking whether I'm okay or not. Wow Jimin, wow.

I didn't know why I'm the only one who care about him. I care about him when he doesn't care about me. I felt so stupid. But I can't do anything. My little feelings kept telling me to care and concern about him. I can't stop the feelings.

It's so weird. I didn't know what happened to me that I'd feel damn worried everytime he does something crazy or come home late.

I heaved a deep sigh and lay on my bed. I missed my parents a lot but they're still on their business trip. I felt bored af right now.

Before I could go deeper with my thoughts, I suddenly got a text from someone. I opened my eyes and took my phone on the desk.

sent 11.05 a.m.

Hey, are you awake?

sent 11.07 a.m.

Yes I am, why?

sent 11.08 a.m.

I want to go to the mall to buy something but I have no partners. Are you up to?

I think for a while, will Jimin allow me to go out with a guy? But he don't even care about me so why would he be mad, right? I shrugged and replied to his text.

sent 11.10 a.m

Yeah, it sounds good. I'm up!

sent 11.11 a.m.

Alright! See you at XX mall at 1 p.m. !

I threw my phone away and rushed to my closet. Finally, there's someone who's willing to go out with me. Yeay!

I felt the joy started filling up my heart. It had been awhile since the last time I went out to chill. I was too busy with works lately. So I didn't get the chance to go out and chilling with friends. It gets more worse when I live with Jimin. Duh, that lame person. Ugh

"Taehyung! " I ran towards a tall figure man and he turned to me. He looked at me who was so clumsy and crossed his arms. His eyes glanced at his wrist watch and said "You're 5 minutes and 23 seconds late " he pretended to be mad.

"So are you going to mad at me? " I asked and he laughed playfully.

"Of course not, I was kidding " he giggled and pulled me by my neck. He totally treated me like his younger sister. "Taehyung stop! I know you're tall but please. I can't breathe properly " I whined while trying hard to get off from him.

He stopped from gripping me and laughed hardly. "You're such a kiddo " he said, making me frowned. "No I'm not! It's just you're too big for me to fight. It's not fair " I scoffed and crossed my arms.

"Bla bla bla " he tried to annoy me but I just rolled my eyes. He loves to play with everyone. It makes him attractive and comfortable to be around with. "You said you want to buy something. So what is it? " I asked, trying to change the mood.

"Ouh, I want to buy a gift for my sister. But I don't know what the exact gift to give her. And since you're here, can you suggest something for me? " Taehyung asked while grinning at me.

"When's your sister's birthday? " I asked

"Next week! " he answered excitedly. "And you don't even invite me? Seriously? " I scoffed and looked away.

"Yeah but I'm basically inviting you now! " he said innocently. "Now? Ah, you're so unbelievable " I rolled my eyes.

"Hehe, sorry " he apologized then we went to a clothes store. Since I'm a fashion designer, I'm very expert in clothes choosing. "So how old is your sister? " I asked while looking at all the clothes.

"She's turning 19 this year "

"Oh really? Then I think this dress will suit her well " I said, showing him a soft blue dress. He opened his eyes in amazement and took the dress. "Omg, it looks so good. She will definitely love this " he smiled.

"So we already have one, one else you want to buy for her? " I asked, still looking at my surroundings to see if there was anything else that's interesting.

"I think 5 dresses and a white sneakers is enough " he answered and I looked at him. We're in a Gucci store and he's freaking want to shop 5 dresses and a holy sneakers. Damn rich. I coughed, "Okay then. Let's find more dresses for your sis " I said and pulled him to another section.

We were finally done buying his sister's gift. "Phew, thank you Aera! You're such a good helper " Taehyung thanked me. I giggled, "You're welcome. But I think you can do it by yourself since you're the CO chairman of our company. The clothing company is freaking yours " I scoffed.

"Oops, correction. That company isn't mine. It belongs to my brother, Taemin. I'm just a CO chairman. Nothing much. Besides, I'm not really into fashion " he denied.

"Btw, I'm pretty sure you're hungry aren't you? Why not I treat you for lunch? You've helped me a lot today " he offered and I cheered up right away.

"Seriously? You don't mind? " I asked

"Yeah, anything you want " he winked playfully and we went to my favourite restaurant, not so far from the mall.

We were chatting while walking into the restaurant. "So what would you like to eat? " Taehyung asked while looking through the menu. I think for a few minutes and finally decided. "I wanna have chicken pasta and chocolate smoothie " I said to the waiter.

"How about you, Sir? "

Taehyung put his hand on his chin, showing that he still needed some time to think. "I want a mac&cheese and a plain water " he said and the waiter nodded. "Your order will be done in a moment. Enjoy the music " the waiter said before walking away.

We waited for our meal to be done while having a small talk. "So how's life lately? " he asked before I could ask any questions. I shrugged, "Fine, but not that good " I answered as my eyes moved to him.

"How about yours? " I asked, interested to know. He stared at me for a few seconds and turned away.

"Same like yours, my life doesn't seem like to be that fine. Sometimes it's too bitter to accept but sometimes it's good " he answered. Honestly, I wasn't expecting his answer would be like that. Because he looked like he was the happiest person in the world. I never seen him sad or mad before.

Seeing his face, I can tell that he has many bad memories that he keeps by himself. But I didn't bother to ask him. I sighed, "Hey, don't be sad! We're here to chill, right? " I asked to cheer him up.

A smile finally appeared on his face and he looked away. "Sorry, it wasn't my intention. I just suddenly remembered about someone." he said.

"Is it a girl? " I asked

"Not a girl but a guy " he shook his head. I nodded and changed the topic so that he won't be sad. I also did some jokes to make him laugh. Gladly, he found my jokes were funny and he laughed so hard. I'm pretty if I tell this joke to Jimin, he'll just stare at me coldly without responding to my jokes. That beast—

I turned to my side to see if our meals were done. But instead of looking at the foods, my eyes suddenly spotted a familiar figure. I didn't take much time to recognize him because I live with him. It was Jimin.

He was looking at us blankly.

I was shocked to see him there. I thought he was still at his office. Besides, he usually will eat at his office. When he realized that I was looking at him too, he turned away and stood up.

He went to the counter to pay for his food and walked out from the restaurant. Did he mad at me? But his face didn't tell so. He seemed fine and it looked like he didn't care if I'm chilling with Taehyung.

But why'd he doesn't approach me? Can't he at least say hi to me?

"Aera? What's wrong? " Taehyung asked while waving his hand in front of my face. I blinked at turned back to him. "Why? You weren't focusing on our conversation " he stated.

I held my head, "No. I just saw— someone. " I said and hoped that he won't ask me who. He nodded slightly "Okay then. " he smiled. Phew.

After a moment, our meals finally done and we started eating together.

After spending almost a day doing shopping, Taehyung finally sent Aera home. He stopped his car right in front the big white house and scanned the house.

"You live here? " he asked while looking at the house that looked like a small palace. It was very big and perfect.

Aera nodded, "Yeap. But it's not my house. It's my—"

"Ms Aera "

Aera stopped her words when Uncle Seon suddenly opened the door for her. Taehyung was somehow shocked because someone just suddenly opened his car door. "Oh, Uncle Seon " Aera said.

"Sir is waiting for you in the house " he said and looked at Taehyung. "Who's this? " Uncle Seon asked.

"Oh, this is Taehyung. My friend " Aera answered and Uncle Seon smiled at him. "Allow me to bring her in? " Uncle Seon asked Taehyung and he nodded.

"Goodbye Taehyung. Thanks for today " Aera said, waving to him. Taehyung smiled brightly, "It's okay Aera. I hope you had fun with me today " he said and watched Aera walked into the house. Then, he drove away.

I watched them from my balcony. I saw Aera was waving to the guy while bid him a goodbye.

I can see the smile on her face.

When I saw they guy drove away, I went to the couch and sat down. With my legs crossed, I waited for Aera to enter my room. I need to teach her a lesson.

Few minutes later, the door opened. It showed that she entered my room. She made her way towards me and stood up right in front of me.

"Did you ask me to come? " she asked

I can tell that she was scared of me. I licked my lower lip and clenched my jaw. "Where did you go the whole day? " I asked

She took a moment to answer my question and I really don't like it. I stood up from the couch and walked towards her. Her lips automatically went a bit pale when I came closer.

I went very close to her and it make her more nervous. I could hear she breathed heavily. My room was full of silence and it was only filled by her breathing sound.

"I hate when someone takes to much time to answer my question " I stated as my warm breath gently hit her face.

She closed her eyes, "I went out with Taehyung to buy a gift for her sister's birthday " she answered

I tried to study her answer by looking at her actions. Her breathe became more calm and steady. So she was telling me the truth.

"You went out with a guy, hmph? " I asked and she nodded right away. "Yes, but it's only to buy gift. Nothing else " she said

"So why'd you go lunch with him? Is there something you're hiding from me? " I asked and she muttered under her breath.

"You know what I hate the most? " I asked and she finally got the urge to look up at me. She bit her lips while waiting for me to finish my words.

"Sharing something that belongs to me " I said and looked deep into her eyes. I shortened the distance between our faces and make our noses touched.

She was so nervous that I can see her eyes grew bigger. But I can't detect that she was trying to study me or scared of me. Her eyes are hard to be read. I looked down at her soft pink lips and looked back at her eyes. "You get it? " I asked and she nodded

I backed away and smirked "Good girl. That was the exact thing I want you to say ". I tucked my hands into my pocket and looked at her.

"Okay, you can go out now " I said and she nodded. Once she walked away, I heaved a sigh and closed my eyes. I held my chest and started getting curious.

"Why'd my heart beat so fast? "

No. No way. I can't let this stupid feelings controls me. No and never.
