Choose One [ Taehyung x IU ]

Chapter 5

"HE seems stable. He has the potential to get married" analysed Nayeon with her eyes not leaving Taehyung's figure.

"Yah, then what about your boyfriend??"

"Hmm..." Nayeon turns to Jieun, staring deep into her eyes.

"He.. he doesn't really show some efforts, Jieun ah. Always busy with with his concert. His 'beloved' friends. His guitar. What about me?? We're already 27 years oldd, not 17 okay! Should I wait for 10 years more, huh??" Nayeon scoffs.

"Well... we don't decide what happens in our lives..I mean, we won't know if you will end up with him right?" as Jieun takes a sip of her drink.

"Yes, I know that. But of course we also need to work it out. Anything can't just happen without any effort"

"Then, if you don't want Jaehyun just tell him. Don't make him wait for another 10 years" adviced Jieun.

"You're only good on giving advice to others but look at yourself? When will you open your heart for someone?" Nayeon frowns as Jieun chuckles lightly.

"I don't know. I don't wanna waste my time taking care of someone else's personal lives" Jieun looks at Taehyung who is chatting with his fellow friends. For some seconds, their eyes met each other.

"Oh my god, Jieun ah! He looked at me!" Nayeon gasps surprised with her palm covering her mouth.

Jieun turns to her and shakes her head, rolling eyes playfully.

"I'm gonna go eat, better than talking to you not like it's gonna make me full. Do you want to grab any food?"

"Nope. I'm on a diet" answers Nayeon while her eyes still stuck at Taehyung's figure that is already changing sight. Her smile never left. Ahh he looked at me... my heart is fluttering right noww.

JIEUN'S phone vibrates as she sets it on silent mode. She puts the chopsticks down before picking up the phone, clicking the message popped out on the screen.

Taehyung : tell me if you're ready to go home, i'll wait for you

Jieun : it's okay, nayeon can send me home. besides, i might stay here until evening

Taehyung : then i'll wait

Jieun : no, seriously. i can go with nayeon

Taehyung : i picked you up like a gentleman, i'll send you home like one

Jieun lifts her head looking at the table at the other side. Taehyung gives her a thin smile. Jieun doesn't answer the text, agreeing.

The clock has already showed 5.47 pm. The guests slowly left leaving only the far relatives. Jieun's heading towards Jeongyeon that's busy with some guests.

"Baby, I'm going home ok? Cause I came here with Taehyung. I don't want him to wait for me too long. I already told him that I'll be going with Nayeon but his stubborn ass still wanna wait. I don't wanna cause any trouble for him. Will you be fine?" explains Jieun long.

Jeongyeon stares deeply into Jieun's hazel orbs, holding her both hands tight.

"Jieun ah, are you..." as if she can read what's on Jeongyeon's mind, Jieun shakes head and laughs.

"It's not like what you're thinking. We're just being a good neighbour to each other, yeah also trying to be friends with neighbours. Not more than that" explains her again.
