"Ok, I promise not to keep things from you, but you have to make the same promise." He stuck out his pinky, and you looked at him blankly for a second, then smiled. A pinky promise was the real deal. You hooked your pinky with his. "I promise too, Tae."

~♡ ~

Taehyung had tried to leave the leftover food with you, but you'd convinced him to take it with him, since you had no refrigerator to keep it in, or microwave to heat it. You told him to take it home, or give it to the guys.

He had packed it up, and said goodbye, saying that he really did need to go get some sleep. He did look tired. He walked out the door, telling you he would text you later.

"Get some rest Tae. I'm not going anywhere, so you don't have to check on me. I'll probably go to bed soon myself."

He waved, heading down the hall to the elevator.

You closed and locked your door, making your way to your suitcase for a pair of shorts, throwing them on the bed. You debated on taking a shower tonight, but decided to do it in the morning. You didn't want to go to bed with wet hair. You grabbed the shorts, and the tank top you'd worn to bed last night, and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed.

You came out 10 minutes later, and glanced at the clock on the table. It was 8:30pm. You climbed onto the bed, crossing your legs and grabbing your laptop. You opened it, clicking the YouTube tab. Then you sat there for another hour, in a trance, watching BTS videos.

You finally decided to lie down, closing the laptop and setting it aside. You snuggled into the bed, and closed your eyes. You were quickly becoming a fan of BTS. You had watched the videos with captions, so that you knew what they were saying, and every song brought out different emotions.

You were actually upset that you hadn't heard about them sooner.

As much as you tried to fall asleep, your mind couldn't seem to stop thinking about Taehyung. There was something about him, something that made your heart beat faster. Sure, It could be his long legs, and how good he looked in jean's, or the cute freckle just under the end of his nose. Maybe it was the way his mouth formed a rectangle when he smiled, or how he ruffled the back of his hair when he was unsure or bored. But as much as all those things caused your heart to accelerate, it was something more. He was so considerate, and kind. He brought a smile to your face everytime you saw him, or got a text from him. It actually was a little scary how well you seemed to connect with him. The two of you just got along.

You finally admitted to yourself that you had already broken the promise you'd made with him too not keep anything from each other. Because you were keeping something from him. You were hiding the fact that you were developing feelings for him, feelings that went beyond just being friends. The fact that you loved holding his hand, and you were kind of disappointed if he didn't take your hand in his. The fact that you were getting used to him texting you regularly, and looked forward to it. The fact that you had secretly stared at his lips more than once and wondered how it would feel to kiss him. The fact that you missed him right now.

But you were afraid to tell him. You were afraid for the same reason he had been afraid to tell you about his "job". You didn't want to ruin the friendship you had.

But you also didn't want to break a promise. You didn't know what to do. So you lay there in bed, worrying about it, until you fell asleep.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

You cracked your eyes opened, peeking at the clock. It was 5:40am. What the fuck? Why did you wake up so early? You remembered it being 10:35 the last time you had looked at the clock last night. You must have fallen asleep shortly after that.

You could just roll over and go back to sleep. You groaned. No, you needed to just get up. You decided to go get your shower, and get dressed.

You crawled out of bed, and shuffled to the bathroom, looking at yourself in the mirror. Your hair was a tangled mess, and you had wrinkle marks on your cheek from the pillowcase. You trudged back to the room, squatting by the suitcase, and digging for the plastic bag with your toiletries in it. You found it underneath some jeans, a pair of which you threw on the bed, along with a t-shirt and a bra and panties. You grabbed the bag, heading back to the bathroom. Your hair needed some serious conditioning.

You adjusted the water, shedding your clothes and stepping in. It felt so nice, the hot water hitting your skin.

After 20 minutes, you stepped out, smelling like vanilla and roses, hugged in a clean towel, your hair tucked in a smaller one wrapped around your head. You opened the door, stepping out of the bathroom as you secured the towel around your body better. Three steps later, you glanced up, and screamed, clutching the towel tightly around you. Taehyung was sitting on the bed indian style, looking at you, a cup of something in one hand, and a half eaten donut in the other. He raised a brow at you as you stood there with your hand over your heart, trying to resume normal breathing. He was unfazed, swallowing the remaining liquid in his cup and setting it on the nightstand.

"What are you d...doing in here?" You stuttered. "How did you even get in?"

He held up a key card as he took another bite of his donut.

"Is that my key card?" He nodded with a mouthful of donut. "How did you get my keycard?"

He swallowed, and said matter of factly "I took it out of your phone case when you went in the bathroom to wash your hands last night."

You stared at him blankly for a minute. "Why?"

"I wanted to surprise you this morning with coffee and donuts." He smiled at you innocently.

You looked at the clock. "Its 6:15am Tae, how did you know I'd be awake?"

"I didn't. But I would've kept myself occupied until you woke up."

You gazed at him, suddenly realizing that his hair was now blond under the backwards red baseball cap he had on. You blinked a few times, then suddenly it hit you...shit. You were standing in front of him in nothing but a towel. And he was staring at you. You swallowed, feeling a lump in your throat as you blushed under his gaze.

"I s...should probably get dressed now." You mumbled, glancing at the clothes on the bed, not far from where he was sitting. Your bra and panties right there on top. You took three more steps and grabbed your clothes, turning quickly to escape back to the bathroom.

"Y/n wait." You froze, staring at the floor, afraid to turn around. You heard him get up, which was surprising, considering how loud your heart was beating. Then his bare feet appeared, right in front of you. He took the clothes from you, tossing them back onto the bed. "Y/n, there's something I have to tell you" he said quietly.

You looked up slowly, gazing into his eyes. They looked darker than you remembered. You watched, your stomach knotting as his hand came towards you, his finger catching a drop of water on your shoulder.

"T...tae, I.. uh..." you wanted to tell him that you should get dressed first, because you were slightly uncomfortable standing there in a towel. Only slightly.

"Sshhh." His finger came up to press against your lips, as he demanded silence from you. You swallowed. He was staring at your lips. His tongue slid out to wet his own, slowly gliding from one corner to the other. His hand moved, his fingers trailing lightly down your arm, his hand finding yours, his fingers intertwining with yours.

His eyes met yours again. "Y/n, I'm going to kiss you."
