(Y/N)'s POV

'What the fuck?'

"So, are you gonna answer or just stare at me with your mouth hung open?"

The stranger asked me with an eyebrow raised.

"Okay, I don't fucking know what just happenned. One second I was in a shop with some unknown bastard and the next second I'm with some kind of retard."

I said as I tried to process on what was happenning.

"You're the fucking retard here."

The stranger said and laughed loudly.

I glared at him in annoyance as he kept laughing.

The lunatic finally stopped after a few minutes of laughing and I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"You done? Cause your laugh sounds like a goose who just choked on some bread."

I scoffed

"Well at least my face doesn't look like cow shit."

He said and started laughing again.

'You know what? I had enough.'

I walked out from the photobooth and left the laughing lunatic inside.

After a few moments of walking I felt raindrops falling on top of my head.

'Oh great.'

'It's raining...'

Drops of rain started to fall and hit the floor as the sound echoed.

The small drops of rain slowly became heavier and heavier.

I couldn't find an umbrella and I didn't bring an umbrella either.

I sighed heavily and all I could do was try to find a place to cover myself from the rain.

I ran around the carnival but there was no places to stand by.

All the stands has been closed and all places has been locked.

The carnival was closing and there was only me left.

'How long have I been here?'

I thought to myself but quickly shrugged it off as I focused on trying to find a place where I could at least hide from the rain.

Soon, I exited the carnival with no where to hide from the rain.

My hair was soaking wet and so was ny clothes.

My face was covered with the drops of rain and I was left standing infront of the carnival waiting for a taxi to come by.

I sighed heavily as I waited and waited for a long time.

Suddenly, as I was waiting I felt something above me blocking the rain.

It was the stranger from the photobooth covering me with an umbrella.

"You should bring an umbrella next time. You'll catch a cold but from what I see I'm pretty sure you will soon."

He said and I felt a bit flutterred yet flattered.

"So, you do care huh?"

I teased him with a smirk plastered all over my face.

"Well, if you really wanna catch a cold and die from it I guess you don't really need my company do you?"

He said and I became speechless.

He then smirked looking at me becoming speechless.

"Anyways, I'm pretty sure you were waiting for a taxi that's why you're still here."

He said

"How did you know?"

I asked and he smirked

"I have my ways."

"I don't think there'll be any taxis nearby so I'll just drive you home."

He said as he pulled my arm to follow him.

"W-wait! But-"

"Oh come on, it's not like I'm gonna do anything to you!"

He said

"We just met though! How am I suppose to trust you?"

I said to him

"Just... trust me."

He responded with a calm and soothing voice.

I stayed silent as I followed him to his car and we both went inside.

As soon as we drove by, silence filled the air between us.

I was enjoying the scent and view of rain and the night combined together.

I felt a sense of calmness and comfort in it.

I didn't know how I was already so comfortable inside a stranger's car but I was still aware and highly alerted for any suspicions.

"So, what's you're name?"

He asked as he broke the silence between us.

"(Y/N). You?"

I responded

"Taehyung. Kim Taehyung..."

He introduced himself.

'Kim Taehyung. His name somehow fits together.'

I thought to myself in admiration.

"Honestly, I thought your name was 'bitch' because it really suits your attitude."

He said and chuckled.

"My personality is who I am, my attittude depends on who you are."

I responded in a matter of fact tone and left him silent.

I felt proud of myself for the words I said but then a sudden question I thought of earlier still lingers through my mind.

I couldn't help but wonder about it and so, I coudn't help but ask him.

"Hey Tae, could I ask you something?"

I said and he tilted his head to the side.

"You're already asking me something, sweetie."

He said and I cringed over the nickname he called me.

"Why are you helping me? We barely know each other."

I said

"Pitty I guess? I don't know.. but is it wrong to help someone out?"

He responded awkwardly.

'Guess he isn't that bad after all...'

I thought to myself as I smiled over his response.

As we continued to drove by, I started to felt bored then an idea came through my head.

"Hey, let's play 20 questions."

I suggested and Taehyung raised an eyebrow.

"Hm? Why?"

He asked

"I mean, even though you are an asshole and a pain in the ass I can't help but get curious about you..."

I said

"I am irresistable"

He chuckled and I felt disgusted over his cockiness but I shrugged it off just cause he agreed to play.

"I'll go first."

I insisted and he nodded.

"How many years old are you?"

"23 years old."

"Funny memories?"

"Seeing your shitty face."

"Fuck you."

"No thanks."

"Nickname?"

"V, Vante, Blanktae."

"Girlfriend?"

"Are you trying to hit on me?"

"You wish."

"Bet."

"Weirdest experience?"

"I touched a beating human heart before. It felt weird at first but it felt pretty enjoyable to hold on after a second or two."

"That's weird."

"You haven't tried."

"Are you a phsychopath?"

"Depends."

"You're weird."

"Aren't we all?"

"1 word that describes you."

"Gucci."

"Hmm.. puns?"

"Have you lost your V card?"

"Is that a pun or a pick up line?"

"Neither?"

"Well, it's horrible."

"You're just saying that because you haven't lost it."

We finally stopped by on our destination.

'Wait a minute, I never told this guy my address...'

I thought to myself confused.

"We're here."

He said as he stepped outside the car.

'What?'

I thought to myself and stepped out of the car.

"Okay, I'm gonna go home. Bye-"

"Wait, I need to go back to my house! I can't just sleep outside-"

"Just stay in my house for tonight then. It's kinda your fault for not telling me your address earlier."

He complained.

"Well, you didn't ask!"

I sighed in annoyance.

"I'll just wait for a taxi to come by or something."

I said

"It's 11:54pm. I don't think much will come around especially when it's almost midnight."

He said as he was waiting for me impatiently.

"Fine."

I agreed and we both went inside the house.

His house was simple yet comfortable.

"The guest room is in the corner right. I'm gonna go to my bedroom."

He said not bothering to give me any eye contact or show directions to any other parts of the house.

Taehyung went upstairs to his room and I sighed in annoyance.

'This guy doesn't even have manners.'

I went inside the guests room and put down my belongings and fell onto my bed in exhaustion.

I looked around the room and admired the scenery of it.

It was really comfortable in here.

It made me feel calm and peaceful.

The little drops of rain falling onto the window's surface and the atmostphere that surrounded the room made it seem as if it was ethereal.

As I was enjoying the scenery and atmostphere of the room a loud knock on the door was heard and interupted my relaxation.

I opened the door to reveal Taehyung in his comfortable clothes.

"Do you mind if I stay here for a while? The rain was leaking through my bedroom's wall and it was fucking annoying."

He said as he ruffled his hair in annoyance.

"Sure I guess? This is your house anyways."

I said and let him came in.

I closed the door and as soon as he came in he laid down onto the cold wooden floor and stared at the ceiling blankly.

There was an awkward silence between us but I decided to break the silence.

"So..."

I said lowly but clear enough for him to hear

"So?"

He asked

"Uhh... how are you?"

I asked awkwardly and he raised an eyebrow looking at me with a confused expression.

"Okay I guess... What about you?"

He asked back

"Im okay too."

"...."

"...."

"So, why were you in the carnival?"

I asked

"I was just passing through the streets till I saw a grand opening of a carnival. I got curious so I went there."

He answered

"Why were you there?"

He asked back.

"I had to go to that carnival because I wanted to support my friend. He and his family were the ones who made the carnival."

I said and he nodded in understandment.

Soon the atmosphere between us was quite and we both ended up staring into each others eyes for a few moments but broke the stare when Taehyung suddenly burst out laughing.

I looked at him comfused as he kept laughing loudly.

"Sorry, I'm just never a serious guy. I just think it's pretty funny how serious you are in this."

He said as he wiped a tear from him eye from laughing.

I kept silent looking at him in disbelief.

'Is this guy seriously this retarded?'

Taehyung let out a sigh as he relaxed himself on the wooden floor.

"You know you question and talk too much. You're like a litteral headache."

He scoffed and I glared at him.

"I'm tired of talking with you. I'm gonna go to sleep."

I said to him with a clearly annoyed tone and covered myself with the blanket facing the opposite direction from him.

"Awww, don't be sad."

He teased me and I felt frustrated.

"I'm not sad! I'm mad!"

I yelled at him and he chuckled.

"Well, you're cute when you're mad."

He teased me again and I was even more annoyed of him.

I tried to pushed him off the bed but he still remained.

"You're fucking annoying you know that?"

I said to him and he smiled.

"I don't care."

He said to me.

"Please leave me alone.."

I pleaded him and he still remained in the bed.

I sighed heavily in frustration knowing there is no hope for him to leave.

Suddenly, just as I was about to sleep my frustrations off I felt a warm embrace.

"I'm sorry.."

Taehyung said softly and with that he drifted off to sleep.

I felt a disturbing and strange feeling crawling onto me.

It was a very familliar feeling of mine.

The fear I had took over me and that night I stayed awake fearing over it as the raindrops echoed.

'Pitter patter, raindrops splatter, it's nice to have someone to cry with me too.'
