20: Taehyung

I haven't seen her since this morning. I will be lying if I said that it didn't bother me. Because it does! When we returned home she had already crawled in for the night. Why is Jimin the only one allowed to go into her room and bid her goodnight? I rolled around in my bed. Thinking about her golden curls and ocean blue eyes. My door swung open and I were completely surprised when Jin entered. "Tomorrow you'll be staying home with me, while the others run the errand," he informed me. I looked straight at him confusingly as he continued: "Whatever happens must stay between us. Alright? Do you think that you can manage that?" I nodded in response. He turned around and left, just like that. What's he up to? Is he helping her? Had either of them sealed lips with Zoey today? The thought doesn't help with this pang of jealousy that's threatening to overthrow me.

I woke to the familiar surroundings of my room. Today is officially day three. There's only four days, after today, left to break this curse. I feel rather lucky, maybe it has to do with the knowledge that I will be staying home with her. That's most likely the reason behind this feeling of luck. After getting ready and done for the day, I head out. Jimin passed me. Let me guess, he's currently on his way to greet her. A while after I took in my seat around the dining table, they arrived hand in hand. The stares that both, Hobi and Yoongs were giving her makes me wonder if they haven't already completed all the steps. Mochi, however, doesn't seem to notice it. Love is indeed blind. "Why do you get to stay home with her again? It's not fair!" Jimin complained. I must have zoned out at some point, because I have no idea where to they're referring. Jin gave him an intense look, arching his brows. Before an argument could follow, her hand on his shoulder calmed him instantly. Now I'm

even more certain that Jin-hyung's got something up his sleeve. I held my attention nailed on the plate in front of me. Before they left for their errand, three of my brothers greeted her individually. So I were indeed correct. Is he trying to make it easier on her?

Jin stack the plates together and left us alone. I couldn't help myself as to stare at her. I've felt so empty as of lately, slowly the spot filled up in a comfortable warmth. She smiled at me shyly. She seems so innocent. Perhaps she's struggling to keep it together. Having a hard time herself, trying to keep her head above the water. Just in time, Jin entered. She makes me so nervous. "I'm going for a swim. Will you care to join me, Jinnie-hyung?" I asked to my dismay. She looks slightly taken back. Sad even. Jin took in a deep sigh as he rubbed the back of his head. "Please join us Zoey?" He invited her on my behalf. She nodded her head and vanished from the room. After she'd left, my violet haired brother turned his attention towards me. "I'm trying to help you by giving you two some alone time and you push her away. Really Tae?" He scolded me. I bowed my head in shame. "I'm sorry. It's just that she's making me so nervous," I apologized. His gaze softened at my statement. I got dressed for the occasion and made my way towards the indoor swimming pool. I'm not sure if I'm ready for what's about to unfold.
