Bittersweet Silence |KTH Fanfiction|

65

(Taehyung's POV)

I can't wait to show Mama what I've learned so far in my new class....

Sitting alone on the ripped fabric couch Taehyung hugs the coat close to his body as he holds his hand up in the air, his fingers moving around fluidly in front of his face creating the small gesture he learned.

My name...

I can say my name now without having to write it down...this is so amazing!

Giggling to himself and pressing his hands against his ears Taehyung stands up from his seat and turns at the small red hint of color that catches his eye outside his window, his lips parting lightly at the girl sitting outside amongst the leaves.

Y/N?

What is she doing sitting outside?..

Isn't it cold?

Slowly stepping over to the window and pulling the thin curtain back a small grin plays across Taehyung's lips, his heart warming staring at the girl spaced out amongst the fall scenery.

She's so pretty...

That guy she's with is so lucky to have her as his special person...

Letting the curtain fall back against the window Taehyung presses his back against the wall, his fingers crawling up his abdomen to rest on his chest pulsing by his rapidly beating heart.

She makes my heart do funny things whenever I see her...I wish it would stop...

I could never be the person that she needs in her life...because I can't hear...I could never be a real man who could take care of her...

I would only be a headache...

Peeking back outside of the window the boy looks down at the small red leaf that lands on the porch, the crimson color causing a hint of warmth to once again bloom in his chest.

But maybe...just maybe...

One day I could be considered special too......

...............................

(Y/N's POV)

I'm so sick of this damn phone going off.

Holding your knees against your chest as the chilly fall air blows across your red tinted cheeks, your eyes slowly closing at the consistent buzzing of your cellphone sitting beside you amongst the leaves.

I'm sorry JinWoo, but I don't want to answer your call right now.

I need some time to think.

Laying your head down in your knees and letting out a deep sigh your thoughts are soon interrupted by a loud crunching sound coming towards you, your head lifting to meet the eyes of the boy crossing the yard towards you.

Tae...

Greeting Taehyung with a half hearted smile he quickly plops down beside you with a wide grin on his face, his arms mimicking yours as he pulls his knees in and pulls out his board and marker.

"Hi Y/N."

I didn't bring my board out here..I should have.

Reaching out and taking his board you let out a soft sigh, your fingers lazily moving against the slick surface of the board, this causing Taehyung's grin to gently fall to a puppy-like pout.

"Hi Tae."

"Are you okay Y/N?"

"Yeah, just a little tired I guess."

Tired...that's the word to use.

Once you hand Taehyung back his board you fold your arms over your knees and lay your chin against them, your eyes fighting the urge to fill with tears as your heart constricts in your chest.

I wish I could tell Tae what's going on...but I guess I'm a way I really don't know what's actually going on.

I know I'm sad because of what JinWoo said...but most of what he said was the truth...

I haven't been being a very good girlfriend to him at all lately...I'm just so tired of having to always talk to him on the phone...

When you blink a single tear rolls down your cheek over your arms and you swipe it away as quickly as it happened, Taehyung's eyes growing wide at your obvious heartache.

I need to go inside...I don't want Tae knowing that I'm sad....he already has to deal with enough without me putting more on top of it.

Before you can make the final decision to get up and go inside of your house you suddenly feel a tiny tickling sensation on your arm, your eyes moving over to look at the big beautiful crimson leaf sitting on your skin.

....A leaf?

Flicking your teary gaze up to the shaggy haired boy who tilts his head in amusement you look at his fingers pointing at your shoes, his small giggle piercing through the dark cloud that hangs over your heart.

It matches my shoes....

Immediately a small grin grows across your lips as you grab the leaf off of your arm and shake your head, your fingers gently writing on the board that sits on Taehyung's lap.

"Clever."

When you roll your eyes you gain a hearty giggle from the boy as he lets out a subtle whine, his hands pressing against the crunchy leaves under him as he throws his head back allowing his eyes to shine against the autumn sun.

He's so handsome...I'm honestly surprised the girls at that school aren't frothing over him...

How they would choose an ugly ape like WooMin over Taehyung is way beyond me.

Shaking your head at the grinning boy beside you Taehyung playfully bumps your shoulder, your jaw lightly dropping in tender shock at his mischievous glint in his eyes.

Is he challenging me?

Placing the leaf he brought you on your phone that still buzzes beside you Taehyung's eyes widen when you grab a handful of leaves and throw them at him, your hands quickly pushing you up into a standing position as you take off running.

Hehe he can't catch me now-

Before you can finish your thought you turn around into leaves being thrown over your head as you let out a loud hearty giggle, the two of you grabbing fistfuls of leaves and happily throwing them at each other as the two of you fall into a delicate laughter.

These are the kinds of things I'm talking about...

Fun things...where life isn't always so serious...always about money and houses...cars and fancy things...

I want moments like these...where I can let loose and have fun...

And with Tae...

It seems like everyday is filled with just that...

Fun....
