13 13.

Maya's POV.

After that encounter and dressing myself, I headed down stairs what seemed to be the living room.

I looked around the spacious lounge, but it seemed like I couldn't spot Taehyung anywhere.

???: I'm right over here. In the kitchen.

I turn around at the sound. How did he know I came down?

Titling my head in a small repeated sequence, I followed the voice.

As I reached the corner, I witnessed Taehyung cooking, while pacing around to grab the correct ingredients in a swift motion.

Taehyung: Take a seat, it will be done in a few minutes.

Without further instructions, I placed myself on to the wooden stool and leaning my face on to the palm of my hands.

Staring literally at his back.

Taehyung: You know it would really help if you could stop staring at my back.

Even being busted, I still continued to stare at his back, more precisely his actions.

You know, like... the frantic hand gestures and all that... actions?

He is pretty built for a quite skinny of lad, if you ask me, his posture is perfect in place. Those muscles that are flexing... Ooof damn.

Dare I say, I'm digging his back muscles.

Woah. What was that, Maya focus.

No men. For now. So focus.

My self taught lessons were disturbed by his voice.

Taehyung: Okay! All done!

Taking a stand back he turned around in the attempt to wow me with what he was cooking by chowing a pan filled with delicious set of homemade noodles, garnished with cheesy and creamy sauce partnered by seafood.

Hmmm. Interesting concept.

Taehyung: So... are you gonna try it or just gonna stare at it? Questioning the combo?

He smiled as I looked at him.

Maya:It looks.... interesting?

A laughter escaped from the guy.

This was a different sight from the flustered guy that entered my room and saw my bare skin?

Taehyung: True it may look weird but I guarantee the taste is even better.

I smiled in return.

He handed me a fork, accompanied by a nod.

Maya: Sure.

Taking the fork and dipping it to the dish.

I took it to my mouth but before I could, I say:

Thank you for the food.

And placed it into my mouth, tasting the flavours one by one.

It was delicious.

Taehyung: Can I get a review?

A chuckles a reply

Maya: Yh it's delicious.

Taehyung: Thank you. Now let's dig in.

He grabbed a fork himself and dived in to the meal.

It was a quiet and peaceful dinner I ever had.

After finishing the last bite, I offered to wash the dishes.

After completing the task, I turned around only see Taehyung staring at me with two glasses and wine?

Taehyung: Up for a small drink?

I smirked

I nodded and said: Sure, why not?

I made my way towards him and sat on the opposite side.

He opened the wine bottle with ease and poured into our glass and slowly slides it me.

I took it in my hands and the aroma of rich fermented grapes entered my nostrils.

Taehyung: Cheers.

He had his glass up in mid-air waiting for me to cling with his.

I did the same, with a smile.

Maya: Cheers.

Reflecting his actions, I took a sip.

It was bittersweet.

Yh... bittersweet

*Author: Hi there, I don't drink, my self, so I actually don't know how wine tastes like? So excuse my lack of knowledge, but feel free to use your imaginations to really dig in to the bitter yet delightful taste of alcohol as some people call it. Thank you.*

Taehyung: So...

Maya: So...

He let out a sigh and spoke, leaving his wine to a side.

Taehyung: Let's make a deal, let's make these our get to know each other or hey let's have a talk or advice talks with a side of any drink? And this applies to me, as in if you want to ask me questions...and I will give you my honest answer.

Titling my head at his offer, I replied by saying:

I'm listening.

Taehyung: But there is one condition. If one of the party decides they want to talk? They can't decline it! No matter what the time of the day it is! And there is a time limit...of one hour.

Ahhh the awaited twist.

Maya: Not a bad condition. Better than Mr Kim's inquisition. Sure, why not?

Taehyung gave me a look. A questionable look.

Taehyung: Really? That easily? No hesitation, no nothing?

I looked at him amused.

Maya: Is that the first question? Has the session already begun?

Taehyung looked intrigued as ever.

But confidence.

Taehyung: Sure, is why not? Let that be the first question.

His gaze shifted to the clock on the wall and I let myself gaze to the direction as well.

Taehyung: The time now is 8:00pm. Our one hour starts now...so answer the first official question.

I wait in anticipation.

A smile appeared on to my lips.

Maya: lay it on me, Taehyung-shi.

Taehyung: Who are you, Maya?
