Chapter XII

It was finally the day when Taehyung would be engaged to Anna. He wasn't ready for this at all. He was still finding ways to get out of this but it seemed like there wasn't any. He agreed to this stupid engagement out of anger and now he regretted it so much.

Taehyung got ready unwillingly. He wore a white tuxedo and was looking really handsome.

"Aigoo! Taehyung-aah! You look really handsome." His step mother said.

"You look good." His father told him.

He didn't respond.

They all left to the venue where the engagement was supposed to be held.
Taehyung clutched the ring box tightly which he put in his pocket. He wanted to give it to Jang Mi today.

The venue was beautifully set up. Taehyung too looked at it in awe.

I wish I was getting engaged to my Jang Mi here.....
He thought.

Namjoon, Miso and Jang Mi too reached the venue a little after.
Jang Mi was feeling a little dizzy, so she held onto Miso.

"Will you be okay?!" Miso asked.

"I have to be." Jang Mi smiled, a forced smile.

Miso held Jang Mi's hand caressing it and they went in.

They saw Taehyung standing with his parents and Anna's family, he definitely didn't look happy. Even a kid could say the same looking at his face.

Taehyung's eyes met with Jang Mi's. It took all his courage to stop himself from breaking down.

"Anna. If he is very mischievous, then you should teach him a lesson." His father said replying to something the Lees had said. Everyone were laughing.

If he is very mischievous, then you should teach him a lesson.

This might be a normal sentence for anyone but not for Taehyung.
It reminded him of his past. It reminded him of how his father left him alone with the care taker, not listening to him even though the little Taehyung cried.

Those words continuously rang in his mind. He needed to get out of there right now. Taehyung excused himself and went straight to Jang Mi. He held her wrist tightly and took her to a restroom. Jang Mi who was taken aback by his sudden behavior couldn't say anything. She was dumbstruck, like what on earth was that.

"Tae! Stop!" She said. "You are hurting me." Taehyung had a tight grip on her wrist.

He let go of her hand.

"I am hurting you?" He asked, with hurt in his eyes.

"Are you sure that I am hurting you?!"

"Tae...I mean."

He put a finger on Jang Mi's lips.

"Sshh.. Don't say anything." He hugged her.

Taehyung felt all his stress go away as he hugged her. He didn't need to go and hide inside a closet right now. Jang Mi was his safe place. She wanted to hug him back, she missed these pair of arms so much, around her. But she refrained from hugging him back.

She gently pushed him away from her.

"Tae! It's your engagement today." She said.

"You don't have to remind me." He said. "I just wanted to give you this. Open this after I leave."

It was a velvet box. It was very obvious what would be inside it but before
Jang Mi could ask him about it he left.

She opened it. It had a beautiful ring and a letter in it.

She read the letter.

Baby.....I MISS YOU!

I miss you so very much. When you told me that you didn't want to be with me, I was heartbroken. I still cannot believe that you aren't with me and I am going to get engaged to some unknown girl.

Can you not come back?

I will and I can overcome anything if you are with me. I really need you.

Honestly I don't believe the fact that you broke up with me because you didn't want to deal with my parents.
I know you better!

Jang Mi was in tears. She was walking while reading the letter so she bumped into a guy.

"I am sorry." She apologized without looking at him.

Oh! That girl from the cafe.

The guy thought.

Jang Mi went to a balcony and sat down, knees glued to her chest.

"Here." She heard a voice.

A guy held out a handkerchief for her.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I am the guy you just bumped into. I also came to the cafe a few days ago." He said smiling.

"Ohh. Ok." She said.

Then she recalled the guy who was dressed in all black that day in cafe.

He offered the handkerchief again and this time she took it.
