FROM HIRAETH TO RHAPSODY

FIXING UP ISSUES (28)

- ' Go on...reply him man! He texted you yesterday and you still didn’t give a reply. What will he think!? '
Jungkook looked up at Lisa then back at his phone screen.
- ' I....don’t know...what should I tell him?'
Lisa rolled her eyes and took away the phone from Jungkook's hands
- ' Hey! What the hell Lili...give it back! '
- ' Not untill I'm giving a suitable answer.'
With that, she opened the chat of Taehyung, who has texted him on yesterday night. The text said - " Hey.. how are you? All fine? "
Lisa thought for a moment, then typed
- ' Hey Taehyung. I'm doing okay. What about you? '
She smiled to herself seeing Taehyung online and put the phone down on her dining table.
- ' Shit! Now what if he sees this...and starts talking more? '
Jungkook frantically said, panic ringing in his voice, and Lisa sat down besides him
- ' Dude what's wrong with you! You were the most determined and confident guy I've known all my life. What the hell has happened to you? Who did what that you're freaking out to text somebody! '
- ' Because it's not just somebody Lisa! It's...Taehyung... '
- ' And? How's that different? It's just a text Kook! '
- ' No...I can't just write bullshit to him. I mean...what will he think! Maybe he'll think I'm not interested to talk....even worse, what if he stops talking with me!? No...I need to think a lot before replying-'
Just then the phone buzzed and both of them hovered over the screen. Taehyung has texted back.

- " I'm sort of okay. I thought you don’t wanna talk with me....that's why you're not replying. "

Jungkook almost jumped out of his seat
- ' See! He thinks the very exact thing I was afraid of. '
- ' And that's because you didn’t answer him for so long, idiot! Thank me that I did something. Now put your shits aside  and talk with him normally. Don't freak out. I got you...okay? '
Jungkook took a deep breath and took his phone, hands slightly shaking in uncertainty.
- ' But what should I tell him? '
- ' Just be real...that'll do the job. Go on. '
He started typing

- '  No no...it's not like that. I was just... busy. '
- " Work is exhausting, right? '
- ' Sometimes, yeah. '
- " I was wondering ...if you're coming to our next meeting... "

Jungkook looked back at Lisa, who was peeking from behind him
- ' What? Answer him. '
- ' But...I...couldn't. '
- ' Oh come on Jungkook! You're not even that busy. It'll be on next week. You can surely come. What's the problem? Besides, you're also involved in this marriage. You have to come. '
- ' I...want to..but...I...'
- ' Ugh! Give me the phone.'
- ' Why- hey! What are you doing now!'
Lisa started typing

- ' I would love to...but the cafe...I need to be there. '
- " Oh...right. I understand. It's okay. "
- ' Hey Taehyung.. I've an idea. '
- "What's it?"
- ' I can't go...but you guys can come, right? '
- " Means? "
- ' Means, come to my cafe for your next meeting. This way, I can join you guys too. '
- "Are you sure?"
- " Yup. It would be great actually. It's been a while we last met... "
- " That sounds amazing! I'll inform everyone else. "
- " Yes..do that . "
- " Thanks Jungkook. It means a lot. "
- " Sure thing Tae. You wanted to meet me right? "

Lisa smiled to herself as Taehyung didn’t reply immediately.
- ' Aww...seems like oppa got shy! He's cute Kook. '
Jungkook didn’t answer and took the phone from her hand to read what they were talking till now, and his breath almost hitched after reading the conversation
- ' I'm gonna kill you Lisa! What the hell is this!? Why you invited him to my cafe? What am I supposed to do now? And what's the deal with this " Tae" shit! I never call him that...why...ugh..you're so soo bad Lili! Now for sure he thinks I'm a pervert and won't talk to me ever. '
Lisa smirked and said
- ' And what if he texts you back in 5 minutes?
- ' That's never gonna happen. '
- ' Bet? '
- ' Yeah...bet. '
- ' Let's wait for 5 minutes then. If he texts back then you have to do what I say and if he doesn’t then you can - '
Just then the phone buzzed again and it was from Taehyung

- " Well...to be honest..yup. I...wanted to meet you. Thanks for understanding. "

Jungkook stared at the phone blankly and Lisa twirled around him
- ' See? I told yaa Kook! I win...I win. Now reply him. And this time I'm not going to do that for you. Text him whatever you want...do it yourself. '
- ' Do I really have to? '
Lisa gave him a glare and he nervously took the phone.

- ' It's okay. No need to thank me. '
- " And Jungkook? "
- ' Yeah? '
- " Be in touch meanwhile. I know you're busy....but...if possible...."
- 'Oh..yeah...I will. I'm sorry... I didn’t mean to be rude or hurt you somehow. It just...happened...'
- "No no...don't be sorry. Just reply me when you're not busy. That'll be enough."
- ' Taehyung...are you mad at me? '
- '' Absolutely not! Why would I! You did nothing wrong....It's okay. "
- ' I promise I'll reply you. Don't forget to text. '
- " Sure! I'm gonna annoy you everyday. "
- ' That's...great. '
- " And...one more thing.  '
- ' Yup? '
- " You can call me Tae. It...sounded well. "
- ' Oh...um...yeah...Okay...I will. '
- ''Bye for now..I gotta go to my meeting. Have a nice day! "
- ' Yeah...you too. Bye. '

Just as he put down his phone, Lisa patted his back
- ' Great job buddy! See, you can handle it pretty smoothly. You were stressing without any reasons. '
Jungkook gulped and managed a faint smile
- ' I guess...he's not really mad at me. '
- ' Of course not! And be ready for your punishment. '
- ' Now what I did? '
- ' I won the bet, remember? '
Jungkook sighed
- ' And? What I have to do? '
- ' Be ready for your first date Bestie! '
- ' Wait, WHAT! '
- ' Yup. If Tae oppa is coming that day, then it's a date. Me and Jennie will manage everything else....we'll come to the cafe later. You just focus on looking your best and decorate the cafe well. '
- ' No way Manoban! '
- ' That's your only way Jeon! '

The florist and the wedding planner is all set to arrange a date for the boys! What will happen? Will sparks fly?
