fake love (k.th)

XII

Taehyung's mother hugged the young woman tightly; a wide smile appeared from her beautiful face. She pulled away with a sigh, her brown eyes staring at the small girl in front of her lovingly.

"You are really such a beautiful woman. I got a goddess as my daughter-in-law."

The latter grinned sheepishly, feeling shy at her sudden statement. Ji-yeon took her bag and guided her upstairs, taking the lovely pairs to the guest room or should we say her room.

"Taehyung is taking a shower now. Rest first while I cook us dinner."

Putting the bag on the bed, the girl walked out the room after earning a nod from Taehyung's father. She walked straight to the kitchen and started to take out the ingredients from the fridge. Humming some random melody while cutting the ingredients for dinner, a pair of strong arms snaking around her waist made her nearly jumped out of her skin. A small shriek came out from her mouth followed by some curse words. Taehyung was stunned after hearing her curse, making the man tilt his head a bit to look at her side profile.

"Woah, it's my first time hearing you curse."

Taehyung felt amused to hear such dirty, vulgar words coming out from the innocent mouth. He wondered how the words would sound while he was, you know. Taehyung shook his head, mentally slapped himself for his dirty mind.

"What are you doing?"

Ji-yeon spoke, incredibly unfazed of what was happening. As she struggled to take the arms, off herself, the grips just tightened as her back now was fully pressed against the hard, broad chest behind her. He nuzzled his face into her neck, inhaling her sweet apple scent. His breathe tickled her skin, making the poor girl tensed up and blushed.

"Taehyung stop it. I need to cook. What is wrong with you?"

A sigh left out her lips as she now immensely annoyed by his bipolar behavior. She continued cutting the ingredients, ignoring Taehyung who had his eyes shut, enjoying the moment, which made him, had a peace of mind. Mr Kim's voice made Taehyung opened his eyes as he groaned.

'Why dad? Why you must interrupt this beautiful moment?'

"Go Taehyung, your father is calling you."

Taehyung lifted his head up her shoulder, leaving a peck on her cheek before leaving for his father. He smiled when he knew how he had made her childhood friend's blushed and he loves the feeling a tad bit too much. She stared into thin air with her eyes wide open. She touched her burning cheek, the warm of his lips still lingered around her skin.

"What the-?" She frowned, completely puzzled with his actions.

For the first time, the dining table was full of food and laughter can be heard through the room. My eyes glanced over Taehyung; his signature boxy smile appeared across his face, laughing at his parents' stories. The previous incident somehow managed to vanish from my mind.

'He just doing that because his parents are here. That's it.'

"Ji-yeon ah."
