Aera was shocked can probably be an understatement of the century when Taehyung suddenly throws her with an unexpected request. Words were just caught on her tongue tip because of the shock, but quickly recovering from it she raised both of her eyebrows and asked in confirmation that what she heard was correct or was the hallucination with the recent situations causing her brain to fucked up.

"You want me to live with you??" 

And Taehyung nodded at her without even wavering his gaze. His serious face with knitted brows confirmed that he was definitely not playing around.

 Aera's nose flared up in embarrassment, it is one of her weird habit which she was never proud of but could do nothing about it. All the fear that she was feeling before is now long thrown out of the window and now her cheeks were covered in the crimson hue. 

"You want me, a girl!" She pointed at herself, "To live with you which is a grown ass man." And than pointed at him. "Isn't it somewhat weird. I mean we haven't known each other for a very long time." She smiled awkwardly as well as in amusement.

Taehyung scrunched up his brows in confusion. He didn't understand what was wrong for a boy and a girl to live with- and then suddenly like a light bulb went on above his head, he finally gets the answer of what Aera was talking about. His own eyes went wide in shyness suddenly getting that his words from before came out quite raw. 

"What I mean is that I have a very big apartment with a lot of rooms and you can live there as a tenant.....no not tenant!! you can live there as my friend." He slightly fumbled over his sentence but still was determined to explain Aera what he was really trying to mean. "You know that your house is not really safe now with the recent incident just happened and I cannot leave you like that so live with me till you find another secure place to live in." He speaks up in one go.

Aera blinked finally getting the feeling behind Taehyung's words. She lowers her gaze trying to mull over all the possible conditions and solutions but after sometime she heaves out the sigh and again look back at the curious looking eyes. 

"I don't have any choice....Do I?" She softly smiles at him to which Taehyung returns it with double bubbliness shaking his head in no. 

The dark gloomy environment from before is slowly lifting away as both of them giggled softly at each other's silliness.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Taehyung slides up the key of his apartment and opens the door letting Aera the first to get in. She takes out her shoes and slowly went inside as Taehyung encourages her to go in. It was quite normal to be shy at the someone's place when you first time go in and Aera was no exception.

She looks up at his apartment in amazement. In front of her was a drawing room, the L-shaped couch was standing right in between of the whole room with a giant lion plushie resting well on it. A small chandelier was just above the couch which was shining brighter than her confidence with all the sunlight coming out from the window. And talking about the window, the whole wall in front in her was just glass. And she can really stare down everything below her with the cars moving and people walking. Overall the place was simple yet classy. 

"I know its amazing! I spend a quite bucks on it." Taehyung laughed coming beside her.

"I know you were rich by your gucci clothes but now by this you confirmed it." Aera speaks with the little pout which Taehyung really found adorable and don't get him wrong he can never like someone (A/N LOL you bet XD) its just Aera is very cute. 

"I have spend my all life savings on this. Its not like that I am rich or whatever." Taehyung quickly shrugged off Aera's statement.

"You are not fifty or are you?"

Taehyung looked at her with the baffled expression and quickly shakes his head in no.

"So you are quite young and you may have started working not very long ago. If working for few years can give you this apartment then sorry to break your bubble but you are rich." She folded her hands against her chest and looks straight at him. 

Taehyung clears his throat and tries to dodge the conversation "Come on Aera I will show you your room." He shows her the way towards the small hallway in which there were three gates probably of the bedrooms. 

"This is the master bedroom which is currently mine." He said pointing at one of the door. "And these two are empty bedrooms which are only sometimes used by my friends so you can take any of the one." He pointed at the remaining two doors and Aera nodded in acknowledgement. 

She randomly opened the room just beside Taehyung's and inside was just a simple peach pastel color walls with a queen bed in the middle. The room was simple but elegant. "I can take this room if you don't mind." She shyly tucked her hair behind her ears.

"Yeah sure go on." Taehyung smiled slightly. 

Suddenly his phone tinged notifying him of a message. 

TheManwhoGoneNutsAfter23 : Hyung if you won't call me in next the five minutes I swear I will track down your location and arrive there with the whole army. 

"Be comfortable Aera, I will just arrive in a minute." With this he hurriedly left.

"Yaah Jungkook what's the problem?" He puts his phone on his ear as soon he was out of the Aera's sight.

"You are the problem!" The voice on the other side grumbled.

"What!" Taehyung scrunched up his face in irritation.

"Yes! You hurriedly left like you were going  to murder someone and you are asking me what's my problem!! Are you for real hyung!!"  Jungkook shouted and Taehyung just shifted uncomfortably as soon as he heard the word 'Murder'.

"I am fine Jungkook and right now I am at home. There is nothing to worry about." He tries to calm the young man on the other side of the call.

"Okay then me and Jimin hyung will be coming to your place in few minutes and will  be spending the night there only." 

And this was enough for Taehyung to turn pale.
