22 YOU DON'T KNOW

(TAEHYUNG'S POV)

"Just like I said earlier it was definitely a brilliant idea to bring you here with me. We can come here often." I smiled at the thought of us coming here every now and then and doing mischief around.

Discovering new things about each other, talking ever so long, with no disturbance, pure solitude.

I want to kiss her more, touch her more, let her know that every inch of her body belongs to me. She's mine, now and forever. But it might be too overwhelming for her, she doesn't even know the half of the truth about me, about us.

"Do you think we should tell about the sensuous session we had today to the other members? I think we should keep it a secret for now. Even though I'm dying to tell Jimin or Jungkook or maybe both and maybe even everyone. But I wanted to know your point too, if you have any resentment about it then please do tell me." she's just humming, I wonder why. "I'm good at keeping secrets though" I giggle a little.

"I just want you to know that..." I stop, thinking it better, if it's too soon to say this. "that, I feel like....I felt there when we were there in the rain, I felt intoxicated, with bliss, with merry. I was happy out there, with you. It's been awhile since I last smiled like this , since I was last content like this" I smile in between, and a sigh of relief as I said this "I think, you are the cause of my Euphoria, You are filling up the void in my life, Hikari! I'll be honest with you, you're the first to ever make me feel like this" I grin widely as I say this, I turn my head to read her expression, to see whether she was going to say it back. But to my surprise, she was already asleep. I face palmed myself, I wonder if she even heard the half of what I said.

"too soon maybe, well, who knew a human like you could stir up such feelings in me" I shouldn't have said all that anyways as I now rethink about what all I had blabbered. My feelings have become stronger towards her, with each day passing, I have become more and more sure of my feelings for her. I don't have to discuss this with anyone, she needs to be the first one to know and hear how I feel about her.

It isn't much long before we reach home. But she's still asleep, I don't know if I should wake her from her sweet slumber. She looks so pretty, pretty as a picture. She seems so delicate, almost as if she'll break to pieces if I touch her.

I pick her up, embrace in my arms, bridal style and carry her up to her room.

Her clothes are still wet, she's completely drenched. She'll catch a cold if she stays in those clothes. What should I do?

It's really late right now, everyone's asleep, can't even ask for advice.

I think I should wake her up.

Yeah. That's right.

"Hey...hikari...wake up." I gently nudge her "Get changed at least"

She doesn't bother, she's too far from consciousness to wake up.

Should I?

"Ugh!" I sigh heavily as I run out of options.

I'll just close my eyes as I do it. That's right.

I smile victoriously as I've changed her into dry clothes and didn't see much of her.

Vague images as I recall. I leave her be and go back to my room to get changed myself.

But I guess it was too late.

"Achoo!" I sneeze, and just as i do I knew I've caught a cold. I shouldn't be ill, this doesn't happen to us. There's something definitely wrong with me, I need to discuss this with Namhyuk at the earliest.

And why did I bother closing my eyes, why am I being this soft, this isn't me, I'm being considerate, for her.

But then again, if it's her, I'm willing to do anything.

Also, Jungkook told me that Hikari was inquisitive about the THE ROOM. Good thing he made her forget, but who did she hear talking? Was it someone from home? I hope not, Hikari isn't safe around them.

(HIKARI's POV)

When I wake up from the terrible noise of continually buzzing alarm clock, white light slips through the slats on the blind. I spat down the clock, peace to my ears, silence to the room.

The rain is finally gone, it's work accomplished. The room is warm, smelling of a sweet ambiance, rain-like.

My head was full of him. It didn't seem real, none of it did. Last night was incredibly amazing, a beautiful fantasy fulfilled.

I stretch my arms as I wake and sit on my bed. The days stretches out ahead of me, so many empty hours to fill in with work. I was about to continue my normal routine when suddenly it hit me.

It was raining last night, I was drenched, I fell asleep in the car as I remember. I don't remember coming back to the room. Did he carry me here? Was I too heavy? I move my hands over my body as I stand in front of the mirror, thinking of how I he must've carried me.

Wait! It suddenly struck me. Something of far more importance than was I heavy when he carried me.

I don't.

Remember.

Changing my wet clothes.

Did he?

He's so dead.

I dash through the halls towards his room, I slam open his door and jump on his bed.

"WAKE UP!" I shake him aggressively. How could he?

"WAKE UP TAEHYUNG!" I began yelling now, not loud enough to wake the other members but just him.

"Hey, good morning." he rubs his eyes and smiled at me as though he's innocent, did nothing.

"Don't you 'good morning' me! You..." my voice breaks a little "you changed me into these clothes....didn't you? What happened after I fell asleep? Did you..." I could feel tears forming in my eyes.

"How could you!" a sense of shock and fear washed over him.

"Hey, calm down, please. I didn't do anything of that sort" he was trying to calm me down "You would've caught cold otherwise.....and I even closed my eyes while changing you into new fresh and dry clothes so." I figured that out from my shirt being worn the wrong side.

"But you didn't have to..." I felt humiliated, somehow... embarrassed.

"You-" he sneezed as I was saying. And then I realized he was soaked in rain too, last night. He risked his own health before me, even when his health mattered more.

This couldn't go worse. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have said all that...I'm ....I really am" I just speak vaguely, guilt filled me up, and I just get off the bed reaching for the door to get away from all the awkwardness I created.

"Wait!" he held my hand and turned me around "I'm sorry too....I could've woken you up and I tried to but you were really tired, worn out...from all the work you do all day for us and from all the running in Serendipity with me. I didn't want to ruin your sleep, I'm sorry about that" my heart skipped a beat when I heard the name of the garden, we named. He's so considerate, so kind, and I'm being such a jerk right now.

"It's alright and I'm sorry too... shouldn't have yelled at you like that." I look into his eyes, I could see tenderness, the warmth in his eyes, the care in his touch and I couldn't help but smile at him.

I hugged him tight, reassuring that's everything's alright, it's all fine, everything's how it's supposed to be, no one's to be blamed.

And he hugged me back, reassuring me back that he had forgiven me and himself.

"I won't even touch you without your consent, Hikari. I might be evil, but I'll always be a gentleman, for you at least."
