Choose One [ Taehyung x IU ]

Chapter 12

THE sound of her phone ringing stops the song from playing. Only the ringtone is heard.

The call ended.

Message received.

Taehyung : you're good?

Jieun looks at the text strangely. She doesn't wanna reply at first but the text sounds weird.

Jieun : just fine

Taehyung : doesn't look like it

Jieun swiftly looks up and observes her surrounding but the man is nowhere to be seen.

Taehyung : i think our meetings here a Kyoto is destined. I swear, I didn't plan for this. And meeting you again, here... once again I swear, I didn't plan it

Jieun : where are you?

Taehyung : don't worry, i won't show up if you don't wanna see me. I'll go, but I just want to make sure you're ok before i go somewhere else

Jieun scoffs. Yes! She really needs someone at this moment. Or else, she won't know  how long can she holds her tears back.

Jieun : come here

Few seconds later, Taehyung appears from the back with an awkward smile. Sorta feeling guilty.

"Serious, I just want to make sure you're ok. Looks like you're about to cry" says Taehyung who's still standing. 

"Have a seat" told Jieun.

"Is it ok?"

"You're my friend, aren't you?" Jieun gives a thin smile, taking her earphones off.

Taehyung takes a seat in front of her.

"Where did you hide?"

"Kitchen"

"Seriously??"

"Serious!" Taehyung nods eagerly. Jieun laughs.

"How did you know I'm here?" Asked Jieun again.

"I swear I didn't. I came here first, ok? I just finished eating, and having my tea. Then I saw that waiter sent a drink to you" Taehyung explained

Jieun squints her eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"100%" taehyung raises his right hand like giving a pledge. Jieun laughs again before throwing her sight outside.

"Can we talk?" Taehyung asks as Jieun turns back to him.

"Sure"

"I have a question"

"What is it?"

"You haven't contacted me for a week, not replying my texts, my calls, is that all because of V?"

Jieun takes a deep breath before answering.

"I thought you were being nice to me just to get Nayeon. I mean, you were so different. Harsh, stubborn... i don't know. Became a person I didn't recognize. Besides I only got to know, how could I know you and him are... hmm" Jieun smiles and sips her coffee.

Taehyung grins.

"You came here?" Taehyung leaves the question hanging. Jieun would get it.

"Holiday" jieun smiles.

"You're asking me.. what about you?" jieun continues.

"Holiday. Actually more to treatment. After not getting to contact you for a week, I thought I could get some time for myself. I thought I could go on my own. This is my first time going out without Yoongi"
