"Seulgi." - Jungkook.

"I'm Taehyung, and she's my girlfriend" Taehyung spoke, and Irene was shocked for a second since she hadn't expected his voice to be so deep and soulful. "Nice to meet you" Irene said awkwardly. "Same here" Taehyung smiled at her.

"Oh, Lisa, I saw a very pretty black dress out there if you'd like to see it" She pointed somewhere. "Hmm, sure" Lisa nodded. "Wait, aren't you . . . ?" Irene suddenly let out, her mind flashing a blur memory as she looked at Taehyung.

Flashback :-

"Are you sure it's okay?" Irene asked worriedly, stepping inside the Kim Mansion. "Of course, it's not like we're breaking in or something, this is my house too." Seulgi answered, pulling her in. "I'm scared, what if your dad is home?" She asked.

Seulgi stopped walking, and looked at Irene with an unreadable expression. "He's never home." Seulgi's words held another meaning behind them which Irene didn't seemed to understand. "Come on now"  She said and made her way to the stairs, where she saw someone she didn't expect to see.

Taehyung, who was coming downstairs, stopped right there when he saw Seulgi. "What are you doing here?" Seulgi was the first one to break the ice as she realized she and Taehyung had been staring at each other for a long time now. 

"Nothing, just forgot my laptop in father's office" He replied, his eyes showed no emotion as he had a straight face. "Okay" Seulgi said, ignoring him and climbing upstairs as she was holding Irene's arm. 

The two siblings passed by right next to each other without even sparing a glance, and everything happened right in front of Irene. Irene looked behind while being pulled by Seulgi, and from the top of the stairs, she saw Taehyung stopping at the doors and looking at Seulgi for a second before he turned away and left.

Flashback Ends :-

"Yes, yes I am" As if Taehyung knew what she was thinking, he answered before she could ask him any further. "Oh," Irene seemed to understand. "So, um . . since we are already connected, why don't we exchange numbers?" She suggested.

"Of course!" Lisa was so going to agree to that, she was a social butterfly after all. "And, done." They dialed their numbers into each others phones, and then parted ways with smiles. "What did she mean by aren't you . . . ?" Lisa asked Taehyung as they were walking to where Irene had pointed earlier.

"Nothing. Family business" Taehyung brushed her off, putting his hands in his pockets as he avoided looking in her eyes. Jungkook took quick steps towards Lisa, and when he noticed Taehyung wasn't paying attention, he took the chance. 

"Seulgi " Jungkook quickly whispered to Lisa and then backed away as if nothing happened. That name was enough for Lisa to connect all the dots, and she nodded to Jungkook as they shared a glance.
