“Why are you going, are you embarrassed?”
“… Oh, perfect.”
“Why, because you were crying?”
“That too… and other things too.”
“What… are you holding?”
“You don’t have to say that… Oh, really.”
“I, I’m going to sleep.”
Taehyung entered the room, his face flushed red, and Seol-i felt something new as she watched him. Her heart pounded, racing, and she felt a burning sensation. Her heart was telling her it was love, but her mind tried to deny it, and Seol-i went into her room too. She tried to sleep, but Taehyung's face kept coming to mind, and her heart pounded, making it impossible to sleep. In the end, Seol-i had trouble sleeping, and Taehyung felt the same way.
The two failed to meet each other's eyes the next day, and the day after that. Denying their feelings of love, they avoided each other. Seokjin and Yoongi sensed something strange about them, and Yoongi finally approached Seol-i cautiously and asked her a question.
“Seol, do you hate Kim Taehyung?”
“Huh? No, not at all!”
“But why did you avoid Kim Taehyung?”
“What… do you hate it or do you like it?”
“…”
“What, really?”
“That’s not it…”
“Lies, your expression says it all.”
“…Actually, I don’t know my feelings either.”
“What is it? What kind of feeling is it?”
“When I see Taehyung, my heart beats really fast, and I feel something ticklish… yeah.”
“Yeah, that’s love.”
"uh…?"
“That’s love, that’s what I like.”
The moment Yoongi's words confirmed her love, Seol-i left Yoongi in her room and went to Taehyung's. Taehyung, who had been training instead of attending the academy, was sitting on his bed, drenched in sweat. Seol-i knocked and cautiously entered.
“Who… Seol? What’s going on…?”
"I'm busy?"
“No, I’m not busy.”
“I have a question. Can I ask it?”
“Uh… ask.”
“Why can’t you look me in the eye right now?”
"… uh?"
“Look into my eyes, look at my face and talk.”
At Seol-i's words, Tae-hyung cautiously raised his head and looked at her face. Tae-hyung's ears began to turn a little red. Seol-i, watching him, almost burst out laughing at how cute Tae-hyung was, and spoke.
“Why are you avoiding me these days?”
"uh?"
“Why are you avoiding me?”
“Seol, you too… avoided me.”
“That’s… true, but answer the question.”
“…Do I really have to do it?”
“Yes, please do.”
“Ah… You tell me first, why did you avoid me?”
"Honestly, I didn't know until just now. But after hearing Yoongi oppa, I became convinced."
“I think I like Taehyung.”
