Chapter 7: Realization hitting like a truck

Taehyung couldn't get his ways with you.

That's why he was so pouty even when he was amazed going outside, watching Seoul and walking around the city for the first time which was making him forget about last night's events slowly, yet the sudden flashbacks of you not letting him sleep on your bed last night made him scowl from time to time.

Since truly, he was a kid at heart. He was the youngest among the fairies and even the littlest thing would lead him throwing a tantrum or crying pools of water.

So he couldn't believe, he really couldn't that for the first time someone wasn't fooled by his fake acting or, fake tears.

"Here we are!" You announced as you stood before a clothing shop. One look at Taehyung beside you made your smile turn into a upside down frown.

It was not him. It was the people around him, staring while walking by as if he was a magnificent animal of some zoo. You could hear the talks and yes, Taehyung did look weird. 

Wearing a loose hoodie that was almost falling of his shoulder wasn't a great look of course though he kinda pulled it off being way too handsome. After what he had done to his clothes you just couldn't let him go outside like that, Jungkook's hoodie was still an option.

And going inside the shop was even more terrifying experience. Now that everyone's eyes were directly on him. Uncomfortable.

Surprisingly, he didn't look bothered. Not at all. He was moving his head around, mouth agape and almost drooling on the sight of so many cloths stacked up.

And you had to scrunch up your eyebrows. He was amazed all the way to here of course but; don't tell me he has a fetish for cloths, you thought to yourself.

"What kind of outfit would you like um.. Tae?" He finally looked at you as you asked with his mouth still apart.

"Can I help you mam, sir?" A girl from the shop approached you with a smile on her face, eyes stuck to Taehyung and the lad nodded instantly.

But you weren't late to pull on his arm and let his frail body bump on your side. Giving a polite smile to the girl you chewed on your words, "we're gonna take a look ourselves, thank you."

And you quickly walked away turning on your heels to where there were less people. Less of those girls eating him up with their eyes.

And as soon as you were out of people's sight you quickly pulled up his hoodie to cover his exposed shoulder. But that wasn't enough since now a part of his chest, neck and oh his glorious Adam's apple were still naked like daylight. The neck and Adam's apple part were fine but-

You zipped up his hoodie, let the hood cover his head and then pulled on the ropes around the neck sides. Good, now that he looked like a baby with squishy cheeks.

But still too adorable.

"Um.. Sarang," Taehyung spoke between his squishy cheeks. "May I ask what are you doing?"

And you looked up at the boy almost a feet taller than you and sighed in defeat. "Nothing." Protecting you of course.

For some reasons you felt like you had to protect him at all costs. Protect his innocence so any bad thing wouldn't be ever able to get near him. But weren't you bad too? You wouldn't say your thoughts were always the purest, you actually have a pretty dark mind.

And now you slightly hoped that he'd get back to where he'd come from soon. Else the badness of this world would reach him too.

Shrugging away the thoughts you held out some pieces of clothes you'd chosen while brainstorming all this time. "You can go and change there, let's see what it looks like." You handed him the clothes and you saw his eyes shining brighter than ever.

And he was done in a jiffy but when he came back though,

it was like you were witnessing heaven happen in front of your eyes. (If that's even possible)

They'd always show those transformation kind of scenes happen in slow motion but in real life, it somehow felt like things were happening in slow motion too. Only difference is that it wasn't the person who was transformed, it was the outfit. The whole damn outfit!

Because never in your life you thought you'd find a person who could make those normal cloths look so damn fabulous.

In that white sweatshirt with light blue stripes, white jeans decorated with pockets here and there, to top it off with a pastel blue hat on his head only made him look like aristocrat, erudite. And you just couldn't help but ogle at him.

"How do I look?" He flashed a smile and oh holy, you were in lose of words.

The only thing you could do was shove the boxer in his hands that you picked up after he had gone inside the changing room. Really, how could you forget that any man with a d would need boxers.

"I already have my pants on though," the boy said in a confused manner.

"You have to wear it inside the pant," you answered looking at anywhere else but him.

"Why?" He again asked, confused still.

"I don't know! You just have to wear it all the damn time! That's how it works!" You snapped for no reason but for your defense, you were flustered. You were really damn flustered standing there red like a tomato.

"Oh." Taehyung only shrugged as if the storm just didn't happen. "But you know what I could use this as?" He flailed around the boxer in the wind and the next thing you saw was it being replaced with his hat.

"This would actually make a nice hat," he grinned showing a rectangular shaped smile you've never seen on anyone before.

"Stupid. Wear that off before someone sees and I die of embarrassment," you retorted snatching the boxer from his head.

Again you kinda forgot, how child-like he was.

***

"So a kid's meal and a cheese burger with a side of frenchfries, two sprites. Here's your change miss." The guy in the red WacDonald uniform handed you the changes as you were still looking at the menus above to see if you were hungry enough to order some more.

"Can I order one milkshake too?" You apologetically smiled at the guy.

Well, those would be a lot of calories but that could go to hell. Right now things were stressful, you had a grown man to take care of as if your own ass wasn't enough.

"Sure," the guy in red answered looking up and that's when you noticed, how beautiful he was.

He was possibly a little older than you but from his forehead to chin perfection was written everywhere. What was he even doing at a freaking foodcourt! You wouldn't be surprised if he was actually an idol doing this job for a day as a part of those stupid reality shows.

"Give me one minute please," he showed that gentle smile of his again.

Oh darling you can even take a hundred years, you thought but quickly shook your head to the sides.

"Here it is." You were handed your milkshake but the guy kept looking at your eyes as if he wanted to say something more. Looking somewhere behind at you he looked at your eyes again. This time though, his smile was a little mischievous.

"Your boyfriend can't wait for you. He's been staring here," he said in his soothing low voice.

For a man he really had a nice tone in his voice. You quickly looked back on his remark. And you saw Taehyung staring at you, then waving from his table and pretty much everyone else staring at him.

Please, he's only waiting for his food.

"He isn't my boyfriend," you said which only made his mischievous smile grow bigger.

"You sure about that?" He again looked at Taehyung than back at you. "You pretty much look like a couple to me."

"Yeah, I am sure about that," you now said with a smile. Politely giving him a small bow you took your tray of food and turned away.

But as you kept walking towards your table you couldn't help but wonder what that guy's name was. You clearly checked him out alright so you must've noticed his nameplate. Wait, he didn't even have nameplate!

Quickly you turned your head around and that guy was gone.

Literally gone. You only saw another guy coming there and taking that place before the counter, with the same uniform but this time with a nameplate of course.

For a second you were creeped out but then you realized, it was evening. So that guy's shift must've just ended and he was replaced by another.

Still everything kind of felt weird. With your head still dazed you took a seat close to Taehyung and you watched him being excited as he took his Kid's meal and placed it in front of himself. The shopping bags filled with his new outfits laid helpless on a side of the table as he was busy with his other obsession.

"You know Tae, something weird happened." As you couldn't just let it out of your head you finally said it.

"Really? Something weird happened to me too." He chewed on his burger then gulped it down before starting to speak again. "Some girl approached me and told me to give my number? But I don't what that was so I asked what number? And they left saying I was rude."

Aww. You couldn't help but giggle and you could feel that tensed feeling slowly go away.

"What happened to you?" He then asked.

"Ah, it's nothing!" You shrugged it away gesturing your hands at him. "Just some cashier guy thought you were my boyfriend and that we were a couple."

Taehyung stopped chewing on his food and all of a sudden, his facial expression changed into such a blank one that you were shocked at first but then you felt a little scared.

"Anything wrong Tae?" You didn't know why his demeanour changed so much all of a sudden. His gaze was intent locked with yours.

"I think that guy was right," he mumbled still lost in his thoughts.

"W-what?" And you couldn't help but stutter.

"That I'm your boyfriend." Suddenly he broke free from his statue like maneuver and grabbed your hand tight. "I'm the one that should be your boyfriend!"
