TAEHYUNG'S POV
The car then arrived at my place as well.
"Don't be too down boy! It's okay and I'm sure she was saying the truth when she said it's okay," the officer then answered what's on my mind.
"Thanks sir! I am really sorry!" I bowed to him again outside of the car.
He smiled at me and left.
I accused someone. She planned her trip for a year so bumping to us was really unintentional. But it happened a lot, that was why I thought she was really a stalker.
I went inside and stopped since the members were still awake playing cards at the living room.
"Hey! Where have you been? We were waiting for you. I went on your room to check but you were not there and you left the pub ahead of us," Jimin, who was so worried, said.
"I called and texted you but there was no response at all. We're worried" Namjoon added.
I checked on my phone and saw what Namjoon and Jimin was talking about. I also saw a message from home. I immediately checked it and mom said Tani was fine.
At least I'm finally relieve knowing that he's okay.
"I'm sorry for worrying you guys. Mom said Tani was fine. And I was at the police station," I told them.
"WHAT!?" all of them stopped at whatever they were doing and looked at me.
"Ugh! I don't know where to start," I told them.
I sat at the empty seat and faced everyone.
"Well there was this girl who was a fan, I first saw her at the airport back at Korea and she was heading at the same destination with us. She was seating near us at the plane. At first I did not mind but I've been seeing her everywhere."
"Hey! Why didn't you tell us? That was dangerous!" Hobi reacted.
"I was not yet sure at that time. I even took photos of her so that I can have evidence of her stalking. She was really everywhere, from the dinner which I had with Jimin, to the firing cannon and even at the pub.
"When I left the pub, I started heading back home but I heard a someone giggling behind me. When I looked back, I saw the same girl. That scared me. I started to walk faster and she followed.
"I saw an offficer and asked for help. He then took us to the station for interview. She looks drunk and even slept while I was interviewed by the officer." I narrated my experience.
"You should have told us. We wouldn't have let you walk alone," Jungkook said.
"But, she was innocent. All those times that I saw her, was unintentional. She planned her vacation for a year. She showed us evidence of her bookings and itinerary. I wrongly accused a fan as a sasaeng (stalker/obsessive)," I deeply sighed after telling them the story.
"What? Was she really innocent?" Yoongi clarified.
"Yes, her flight and hotel bookings were that a few months ago. I apologised and she said it was okay but she acted differently," I told them.
"That's hard to believe. But are you sure her evidence was legit?" Hobi clarified.
"Yes. The officer verified it and it was all true," I answered him
"Were you sincere when you apologised?" Jin asked.
"Yes. Of course I was. I even apologised twice," I told them.
"Don't keep it to yourself next time. It would be dangerous if she was an obsessed fan. At least its clarified that she was not," Namjoon told me.
"If she really is a fan, she would understand. Don't worry about it to much," Jimin consoled me.
"She said it's okay but she looked cold and did not spoke at me," I told them.
"Stop worrying. Maybe she was just tried. She got a drink and got dragged at a police station," Hobi said.
"Well, good thing that you are fine. We were so worried. Let's sleep now. We still have activities tomorrow," Yoongi said.
"Okay. Good night everyone! Sorry for worrying you guys," I bowed to them.
Some of them hugged me and tapped my shoulders to comfort me before heading to our rooms.
I changed my clothes and laid on the bed.
I saw my camera and I looked at the photos. There was still one photo of the girl left. It was during the cannon firing where she looked happy.
I was really sorry for my accusation and I hope that she will understand my action.
Before going back to bed, I tried calling at home but no one answered. I slept with a heavy heart.
On the next day, we planned on going scuba diving and doing more activities at Gozo. We will visit another scuba diving spot.
We gathered early so that we can spend more time in Gozo. I called my mother and finally reached them.
"How was Tani, umma?" I was worried about Tani.
"Just a mild indigestion but he's fine now," mother answered me.
"Where is he?"
My mother showed Tani and Tani looked at me through the phone.
"Tani! Are you okay?" I talked to him.
He barked and continued looking at me.
"I miss you!" I told him.
"How about me?" my mother was a little jealous.
"I missed you too umma," I told her. "I'll be back in a few days. Don't miss me too much umma." I teased her.
We ended our call and I checked on my phone whether there was a news of a leak about last night. We might go back home with an unfinished vacation.
There was none. I was relieved. The officer looks like someone who can be trusted, I hope that the girl is also the same.
