Serendipity ( Kim Taehyung)

Epilogue - Part 1

Taehyung yawns as he turns on his bed, hand reaching out seeking the warmth of the person beside him only to find the space empty. Half asleep, he runs his hand on the cold spot at the right side of the bed—now assumed Haru's side – and when still could not find her, his eyes shot open. Then he heard Haru's voice speaking over the phone.

"Give me another 20 minutes then I'll be there"

He smiles sleepily as he watches her putting on the blue blouse she had put in his closet about weeks ago for "emergency". He said nothing as Haru fixes her hair, sighing to herself as she hastily searches for her make up pouch from her handbag hung on the side of his working chair. She came over last night after dinner, adorably telling him she misses him and wants to stay over for the rest of the weekend. What she didn't tell him is why is she suddenly getting ready in work attire so early in the morning.

"Why are you getting ready for...work?"

"I—I was called by Madam Choi, she needs extra hand for an eve—a talk...I think? I am going with Jiwoo in 20 minutes"

"A talk?"

Taehyung lazily sits up right, exposing his bare torso and the muscles on his arms as he runs his fingers through his messy bed hair. Then, Haru whom was applying her mascara froze for a few seconds, their eyes meeting through the big mirror in front of her before Taehyung teasingly cocks an eyebrow.

"Want to get back in bed?", his voice was low, as low as it could get and there was a hint of challenge in his tone. "The bed is still warm, let me keep you warm"

"Don't distract me you demon", rolling her eyes, she gets back to finishing her make up. Thank god he said nothing after that, only occasionally checking her out from time to time but he lets her get ready in peace without anymore distraction. That is the last thing she needed because she must be at the meeting room by 9 am and that's 45 minutes from now.

"Do you have anything today?"

"Other than cuddling with you and a short meeting—nothing"

He finally gets off the bed, decked in all his sleeping boxers and as he makes his way towards Haru, he made an effort to flex his arm muscles again—Haru's weakness—to earn an eyeroll from her again. And there he is, wrapping his arms around her waist as she checks herself from the second time, burying his face into her neck and nuzzling closer to her.

"Why are you leaving me already?", he murmurs into her skin. "I thought we were going to hang out and be in bed the whole day?"

"Excuse me Mister Kim, you have a meeting at 2.30 pm remember?"

"I prefer to have you than the meeting"

"Oh god", taking the chance to pinch his hands, freeing herself as she packs her handbag, spraying a little perfume all over herself before turning to him. "I will see you tonight, okay?"

"Okay", his answers with a little pout but then it slowly curves into a soft smile. "Be careful on your way there and text me once you have arrived. Are you driving?"

"No, Jiwoo is"

"Where is she from?"

"Officer Kim's house"

"Looks like I am not the only one having their girlfriends stolen so early in the morning"

"When is the event starting again?", Jiwoo sighs for the hundredth time in the meeting room, certainly not 100% prepared to be doing work on a Saturday morning. "I should be having breakfast with Joon, not being an usherer for a faculty's event"
