CONTRACT MARRIAGE ||KookV||

20

After finding out Taehyung and Jungkook were together, Jimin and the others often saw a glint of adoration within Taehyung's eyes. Before, after their classes were done, they had always pulled the lad aside to chat with him a bit more; but now, at the end of their classes, they would instead wave him away—ushering him to leave quickly, just so Jungkook would not have to wait for too long. Taehyung was so amazed by this that he had given them the title "The Three Henchmen", which those same three accepted with a hearty laugh, further giving the couple their wishes for a long and happy life together.

Taking advantage of his lack of classes because his semester was coming to an end, Taehyung received a few small games and websites to design, and after he was done, he again deposited the small amount of cash into his bank account.

Presently, there was less than half a month until his winter vacation, so he hurriedly finished his business before going off to the mall with the intention of buying a few things for his grandfather.

Taehyung's home town was located close to the northern part of the country, so come winter, it got very cold. Following his arrival to L-City to attend university, he would gift his grandfather a newly purchased set of down jackets as well as other winter clothing, and this year was no different. Done with buying Grandpa's clothes and boots, Taehyung did not leave the mall right away, choosing to go up to the premium men's clothing section on the fourth floor instead.

He was well aware of Jungkook having quite a lot of clothes, but he also knew the man did not have any scarves since all of the scarves currently within their cupboard belonged to him. In addition to that, the man also did not wear turtlenecks, so every time Taehyung caught sight of him going out he would feel cold in his stead.

Taehyung planned to buy the man a couple of scarves so as to keep him from freezing. But considering Jungkook's high-class taste, not to mention his sharp tongue, ordinary scarves would be disliked by him for sure, and after passing through several stores Taehyung still could not find any that were suitable.

By the time Taehyung has strolled through the majority of the fourth floor, he had already given up hope. He simply found himself a seat to plop himself down on and take a rest, intending to go check out some other places after a while.

I wonder what Jungkook's doing... He's probably busy at work, right? Taehyung thought to himself as his gaze remained fixed on the bustling crowd passing in and out of a couture clothing store.

After sitting for a while, he took out his phone and sent Jungkook a message.

——Kookie, what're you doing?

The message he sent to Jungkook did not receive an immediate response so Taehyung just figured he was busy, paying it no mind. Having rested enough, he got on his feet planning to change locations. With only a couple steps taken, he came to sudden halt, his gaze locked onto the window display of a men's wear store.

There, hanging on the mannequin, was a grey scarf.

Perhaps it was because of the similarity the model's frame and coat bore to Jungkook which caused the feeling of "being surrounded by Jungkook" to rise up within Taehyung, perhaps it was something else. Regardless, Taehyung still decided on that scarf the instant his eyes fell upon them—having not the slightest bit of hesitance—as he went into that store.

Apart from the one worn by the mannequin shown on the outside, that store had many tasteful scarves inside as well, therefore Taehyung bought two scarves he selected according to Jungkook's usual style. As he was paying, Jungkook had replied to his earlier message, and in taking a look at the message, Taehyung inevitably laughed.
