The Prince & The Spy | Jungkook x Reader

5 - Happy Birthday

I ran to him and instantly hugged him. It was so good to finally see a familiar face.

Taehyung was my best friend at the agency. We started the training at the same time and did two missions together so far already.

    'It's good to see you' I said to him.

He handed me the floating balloons as if I was a small child again.

    'Happy birthday y/n' he said with his adorable boxy smile.

I hadn't really noticed that Jungkook had caught up with me and was now very near us as well

     'It's your birthday today?' he asked perplexed

     'Uhm it was last Sunday'

Taehyung laughed 'yes okay I am a few days late sorry, please forgive me, my dear.'

He turned his gaze to Jungkook

   'Hey aren't you the prince?'

Jungkook nodded but he seemed annoyed or something. 

     'Yes, this is Jungkook, and Jungkook this is Taehyung' I introduced them to each other and they politely shook each other's hands.

Then an awkward silence fell.

    'Uhm yeah well see you tomorrow Jungkook?' I asked as I unlocked my door.

    'Yea sure' he replied curt, not with cute smile as he normally did.

I waved it away though too excited Taehyung was here, finally someone from my normal life.

      'I thought the prince was supposed to be a real charmer but he seemed grumpy' Taehyung asked puzzled as we stepped inside my apartment.

     'Yeah I'm not sure what was bothering him today but normally he is really nice.'

Taehyung bend down and started to enthusiastically pet Bono who had been probably waiting for me to open the door. He was loving it, Taehyung was good with dogs, his own dog was smaller than bono but cute as hell.

     'So you're close to him?' he asked while looking up at me.

      'Hmm not really I mean he is tutoring me and we, therefore, spent some time together and we also now walk to class together.'

      'Why is he tutoring you?' there was a certain tone in which Taehyung asked the question.

      'I have bad grades and he needed an excuse to walk Bono.'

      'Or an excuse to spent more time with you?' Taehyung asked raising his eyebrow.

      'What are you talking about?' I said but my face heated up, and I knew I was flustered. 

Taehyung stepped closer to me.

     'Wait a minute, you're blushing! If I didn't know you, I'd say you were falling for him but aren't you always the one who says that love is for fairytales.'

I rolled my eyes 'don't make up such nonsenses Tae.'

I was super defensive, which I hardly ever was in front of him, this made him surprised and that surprise made place for worry. 

     'Don't go there y/n. you know you can't be involved with the subject of your mission. and he is the prince for god's sakes'

      'I have it under control Taehyung. can you please drop it?' I started to get annoyed and crossed my arms.
