Just a few streets away, Namjoon and Taehyung were chasing Susan on Namjoon's bicycle.
"Hey, Ponytail," Namjoon called, making Susan stop walking and turn back to them. "My name is Susan and you knew it," she said, throwing some killing glares at Namjoon and her eyes softened when she saw Taehyung at the back, peeking at her. "Okay, Susan. S U S A N," as Namjoon said, he stopped right in front of her and Taehyung was already getting off the bicycle.
Once Taehyung and Susan shared eye contact, Susan couldn't help but clutch her side bag so tight at the sight of him. "Go, Taetae. I'm here," Namjoon whispered to him, waiting for him to make a move at the girl. He wasn't pushing him or forcing him to do since Taehyung doesn't like it when someone orders him.
Taehyung stepped up towards Susan, who was licking her lips as all of a sudden her throat seemed to be dried and empty and she was being desperate for something she doesn't even understand. "Hey," Susan started, waving her hand to Taehyung who raised his doe eyes and looked at the girl. Namjoon backed off, walking away from them, giving them some space. Parking his bicycle he just looked at them from afar and they seemed to stand close and start talking about something.
"I-I'm sorry," Taehyung said and his voice reciprocated his genuineness. Susan giggled, cannot describe how cute he looked while apologising but it took him so long to say it. Years after years she waited for him and here he was, right in front of her. She felt so many emotions but everything was shown with a huge smile on her lips and warm tears in her eyes. She felt sorry for those guys who came back after her and confessed their feelings to her but she couldn't accept any of them just because of this boy.
And after all these years, he was here but she wants to know if that was to only apologise or grow their relationship from now on. "There's a convenience store nearby, do you want to come with me?" she questioned, breaking the silence and he looked up at her again. Taehyung hesitated as he looked back at Namjoon who raised his eyebrows at the boy. "What, Taehyung ah?" Namjoon asked, and Susan replied back to him.
"Can I borrow him for some time? I will take him back to your house after an hour or so" Susan said, and Namjoon sighed before looking at Taehyung. "If you wanna go, go with her," Namjoon said confidently as Taehyung has a wristwatch with a GPS in it. He always makes Taehyung wear it whether he was with him or not. He was a cop anyways.
Taehyung put his hands inside his pockets before walking towards the store and Namjoon sighed before shaking his head. Susan smiled wide and she encircled his arm with hers, walking along with Taehyung. Taking his bicycle, Namjoon left the place as he wants to make sure Jimin has closed the cafe already.
"Do you mind if I do this?" Susan asked, as her arm was linked with his. Taehyung just shook his head as a no and pressed his lips, his bread cheeks grew big as well. She couldn't help but poke his cute cheek while Taehyung side-eyed her actions. "There was a meeting in our school last week, did you go there? We were invited actually." Susan spoke, making him stare at her.
"Y-Yeah, I actually went with Jimin. We were there for 4 hours and they offered us ice cream and food. There was a new wall paint on the left side of every class. They were beautiful" Taehyung said, and she nodded, speaking further. "I was there too, just asked," she stuck her tongue out, staring at him. She asked him random questions and he didn't mind answering every single question of hers. She knew the answers for a few of them already and didn't know for a few of them. She asked him as if she knew nothing about him and he was answering with so much enthusiasm.
Susan loved the way that Taehyung was answering not leaving any single detail and she loved the way how his pout lips would form every time he says something that was so close to his heart. She loves everything about him and she was falling for him more and more. Yes, he was a special child and sometimes he couldn't react the way he should, but in the whole world, he would be the first person to listen to someone's concern and cry whenever someone was hurt.
And Susan wants to be that someone.
Arriving at the store, Susan dragged him inside and ordered two instant noodles for them. She was smiling all along and Taehyung was looking at the cookies. She knew his favourites and she didn't hesitate before buying them as well. "You can have it later, right?" she said, before keeping them in his pockets and he just nodded, looking at them. He turned around and stared at one of the seats before the huge glass window. Noticing that, Susan took his hand and walked towards the seats, sitting on their seats side by side.
Serving him the noodles, she started eating along with him. She saw how his lips pout every time he munch the noodles. She didn't take her eyes off him and she whispered as she leaned in slowly. "Is this a date?" she asked and he almost coughed at her. "Oh, I'm sorry," as she said, she gave him water and he gulped it soon.
"Sorry," she whispered again and didn't want to ask him the same question again. Biting her lower lip, she shook her head to herself before resuming eating. "If you call this a date, then it is. A date doesn't have to have expensive things. It could be a simple walk in the park or watching movies in our room. So, I will take it as a date," Taehyung spoke and Susan's eyes widened at his words.
"I- yeah, you are right, Taetae," she said and Taehyung's bread cheeks grew again. "Actually I made this today for you," she says, showing him a paper duck. "I have always seen you giving paper ducks to Jimin in school, so I want to make one for you too," she said and Taehyung smiled more before taking it in his hand.
"It's cute," Taehyung said, keeping it in front of them neatly and he admired that with his smile. Finishing the noodles, they stood up and walked out of the store. Taehyung secured the paper duck and Susan didn't go unnoticed by his actions.
As they were walking back to the cafe, she slowly intertwined her fingers with his, making him look at her. "Can I do that?" she questioned him again and he nodded at her question, gripping her fingers more tight. They walked in the dark night street, hand in hand, and they spoke something random yet they didn't go bored with their different kinds of topics.
As they were reaching the place, they saw a few of them there. Namjoon, Jimin, Yoongi and Destinee were talking about something and Susan sighed as soon as she saw them. "They are here, I guess you have to leave now," Susan said and he looked at them before nodding. "Good night, Taetae," she said, turning to him and he smiled before answering.
"Good night," Taehyung said and that's when she quickly pecked his cheek making him freeze. "Text me if you want more of it, and I can give you," she giggled before running away from the place. "But I-I don't have your numb-" Taehyung mumbled and his eyes widened as he looked at her coming back.
"This is my number, you can call me or text me anytime. I'm free only for you. Okay?" as she said, she pecked him on the other side of the cheek and Taehyung flinched as he saw her running back again. He chuckled as he saved her number and turned back to them but was afraid to make one more step to reach them. Because Jimin was already pulling Yoongi's collar and was shouting at him.
"Jimin, please, let him go," Namjoon begged and Jimin wasn't listening to him. "Hyung, he is saying rubbish about my Julia. Tell him whatever he said was a lie," Jimin said but Yoongi was already exhausted from Jimin's behaviour and didn't take any second to retort it. "Leave him right now," Destinee said, and she was already taking her pistol to threaten Jimin since he was going overboard.
Namjoon's eyes widened and he immediately moved back Jimin using his whole strength. "I'm really sorry. I apologise on his behalf," Namjoon said and his eyes quickly fell on Taehyung who was closing his ears and squatting on the road. "Shit," Namjoon ran towards Taehyung and Jimin followed him quickly.
"Taehyung ah, when did you come back? Where is she?" Namjoon asked, making him ease the pain he was having. Jimin was more pissed off because of Taehyung now, so he ran back to Yoongi again. "Look, you made many disturbances here already. I want you both to leave and never come back again," Jimin said, and Yoongi was shaking his head no.
"I told you, we have some business with Namjoon and we are not going without him," Yoongi exclaimed and Jimin scoffed at the man. "I can't let that happen, you said nonsense about my Julia and now Taehyung is shivering because of the pistol. You've done your business enough," Jimin said and he saw Namjoon leaving the place with Taehyung to their house.
"We will see that too," Yoongi said, glancing at Namjoon. "Let's go already," Destinee said before sitting inside the car and Yoongi started the car. But before going away he slid down the window and stared at Jimin.
"If you think whatever I said about Julia was a lie, let her say the truth. I have no personal grudges against your Julia," Yoongi said before gearing up and rushing out of the place. Jimin stood there frozen, and Yoongi's words were echoing in his mind.
That's when Jimin dialled her number and pressed the phone against his ear.
Her phone was switched off.
