In White Houses
Ch.6
"oh, Taehyung-ah!" Jimin waved his hand over to Taehyung signally him to come over to us. He was standing in the middle of the entrance way; his eyes were piercing at me. He walked over to our table and waved, "What are you doing here?" Jimin asked, "I was just getting coffee about to head back home." He said, his head turned to look at me, "you guys, on a date?" my eyes widen in surprise and Jimin blushing, "no no, we just, came here to eat after we were at the studio, we're just about to head back home too, wanna ride?" Jimin stood up scooting out between the chair and table, "sure." He replied, giving me devilish smirk, ugh whyyyyy does he have to ride with us.
We finally arrived home and I was glad to get out of the car it just feels awkward with me being around him. The elevator doors opened into what seems to be an empty apartment, I wonder where everyone went? I was about to head towards my room until Jimin called out to me, "where ya' going?" "Oh, I was gonna go back to my room, nothing special," "Come hang out with us." He motioned his head to up the stairs.
I haven't been up there since I moved in yesterday, I saw no reason to since it's most of the guy's rooms and it would be weird for me to just go up there, but I was still curious to see what it was like, "We'll give you a tour, c'mon." Jimin raced up the stairs leaving Taehyung behind, which he was just looking at me, he stretches his arm out making an 'after you' gesture, so I hesitantly walked up the stairs.
The upstairs was pretty spacious with 3 more rooms, a bathroom that was also a laundry room and a small terrace. They had small white boards on their room doors one said 'Jin aka Mr. Worldwide Handsome' 'Hobi Hope and Kookie's Room, and 'Mochi and TaeTae's club, I'm guessing Jimin is mochi. "Come on in," Jimin called out from his room, I walked in with Taehyung trailing behind me, I was in awe when I saw the room. It was a large room connected but had a barn style sliding door separated each side.
Jimin's side had a desk with books and a laptop on it, a small futon and a TV. His walls were filled with polaroid pictures of him and friends, mostly the other roommates and him with a dance team. "Wow, nice room," I said observing, "Thanks, I'm hardly in here so it doesn't have much." He flopped down on the futon. Taehyung slid open the barn door and entered his room without saying anything, so I stayed on Jimin's side since I didn't want to intrude or anything.
Jimin's phone rang, he took it out of us back pocket looking at the ID, "Ah it's Yoongi, excuse me." He made his way out of his room, leaving me behind and Taehyung on the other side. I walked up to his wall of photos looking at each Polaroid, "Hey," Taehyung voice came from his side, I couldn't see him so I didn't know if he was talking to me or on the phone, so I continued to look at the polaroids.
"Are you just gonna ignore me like that?" He came from behind the opened sliding door leaning against the door frame. I just stood frozen, staring at him with wide eyes, "Well do you want to see my room or not?" I nodded my head quickly which caused him to chuckle. "Well come over here." He said turning to go into his room, I followed, my mouth agape with astonishment seeing his room. His bed was center against the wall, the wall was a painting of Vincent Van Gough's 'Starry Night', his whole ceiling was a painting of the galaxy, with star dangles hanging down.
"wow" I whispered, my eyes wandering everywhere, "You—did you paint all of this?" I asked looking at him, he stood leaning against the Starry Night wall, "yes, it took me about 2 and a half months to complete, Jungkook also helped me." He smug, I stepped to the Starry Night wall putting my hand on it, "well this beat my room, I just have glow in the dark stars everywhere." I laughed, he glanced over at me raising his eyebrows, "you like stars?" I nodded my head,
"Mmhm, my mom used to take me to the science museum for me to look at the stars and planets in the planetarium when I was little, I became obsessed with that place," I lightly chuckled, "kids in the neighborhood used to think I was weird, I remember we all laid in a field star watching, we happened to see a shooting star that night, everyone was making wishes and saying our wishes will come true because of that shooting star, and...I remember telling them that shooting stars aren't actual stars, they're meteors falling, if shooting stars were actual stars it would be really disastrous because stars were like the size of the sun...life wouldn't exist on Earth if stars fell, every star is much larger and bigger than any planet in our Solar System." I paused, quietly laughing at myself, "boy, those kids didn't want to hang out with me anymore." I snorted.
My eyes widen when I realize who I was babbling to, great Taehyung is going to think I'm some weirdo nerd or something, not like it matters, I turned my head to see his reaction, he was softly gazing at me, when did he get so close to me? I could feel his breath on me, I just stared at him blankly my body frozen, his hand reached up to my face caressing it, my heart was thumping, what-what is he doing?
"Minjoo..." he whispered, his face was slowly coming towards mine, my body was getting hot, is he...is he going to kiss me again?! "Sorry Yoongi was at the store with everyone, he just called to asked what we wanted for din—," Jimin came in and paused seeing Taehyung close to my face, my face obviously was full-blown red, Taehyung was calm, he looked back at me, "sorry you had something on your face," he said nonchalantly, squeezing my cheek. "S-S-Sorry!" I exclaimed running out of the room almost knocking Jimin down.
I ran down the stairs into my room closing the door behind me. I covered my face with my hands sliding down the door, "stupid Minjoo, why can't you be more aware of your surroundings, a girl alone in a house in a guy's room, that's unacceptable," I slapped my cheeks with my hands trying to calm myself. What on earth is he trying to do to me?!
