To You ? KTH

Cherry Blossom

Where can I find you?

[Taehyung] I'm at the gazebo on the river

[Taehyung] By the bridge we met at

I turn around slowly until I get a good sense of where I am and then make my way down the street toward the bridge. 

Even though the festival started early morning, the streets were filled with people who were coming and going. If I knew Taehyung was uncomfortable around crowds, I would have offered to meet. I feel bad now... 

Turning around the corner, I spot the gazebo. Shielding my eyes from the sun as it makes it's way down, I notice someone in it.

I grow self concious as I step closer. But why? Taehyung has never judge me or said anything mean to me before. So why?

My voice is caught in my throat as I step inside. He's leaning over, resting his head on the rail as his feet play with the cherry-blossom-filled river. The pink shirt he's wearing compliments his tan skin glowing under the sunset.

I walk close enough and sit on the bench, tilting over to see if he notices me.

He opens his eyes, a smile slowly spreading across his face when he recognizes me.

"Hi, Seolli."

"Hi, Taehyung."

His eyes glance around me as he sits up. "My cherry blossoms."

I blush and hold my hands together.

He leans closer and I tilt my head up to meet his eyes. His smile makes my heart race. 

"Yours..." I whisper with a nod.

He nips his bottom lip. "Mine."

I stutter, "T-they're beautiful..."

With a chuckle he leans back, focused on drying his feet before putting on his shoes. "Sorry for making you come get me."

He places a hand over his heart, giving a small little tilt of his head as he talks, "I started to get anxious when I was getting closer to the festival."

"Because of the crowds?" I ask.

He flickers his eyes up at me. "Something like that."

"But everyone came... Jimin, Karin, Jiyoo, and Jin. I think it'll be easier once we meet up with them."

He hums, stretching out on the bench.

I look out into the river, falling in love with all the cherry blossoms blowing in the wind. They fall onto the river, and the river shimmers against the sunlight. 

"Seolli, do you remember when we first met?" Taehyung asks softly.

I think about it for a second. Was he referring to the first day of uni lecture? Or back in high school?

"The very first time?" I ask cautiously. "I think we might remember it differently... I have a really good memory and you might not have even known-"
