Chapter 17

"so! did it work? you guys talked it out yeah?" he said in an english accent.

"Jimin. you sound like a foreigner now. when did your english get so good?" Taehyung chuckled, shaking his head.

if only they could see.

"practice Tae. you still didn't answer my question. you both resolved your differences?"

"yeah! we're really good now. he left for work early." Taehyung said, sniffling as fresh tears cascaded down his rosy cheeks.

"are you crying?"

"yeah. tears of joy. you have no idea how happy I am that we got to be this happy again."

"that's great Tae! I'm proud of you both. why wouldn't Jungkook answer his phone though?"

"you know... CEO stuff."

"I'm a CEO too now mister."

"I know." Taehyung giggled.

if only they could hear.

"I should get going. I have a meeting in a few minutes. we'll talk later when I'm home alright?"

"sure Min. go do CEO stuff." Taehyung giggled, sighing as the call ended. he leaned his cheek on his palm, hissing at the terrible pain that infiltrated his senses.

Jungkook hitting him had injured him. the right part of his face was swollen as he had hurt the inside of his cheek due to the incident.

even after using an ice pack on the swelling, there was no difference.

Mina however, got suspicious and was watching him through out the time he was in the cafe.

which is why she made him sit in a booth where she could see him. Taehyung appreciated the gesture and sat there, carrying out cafe owner duties in the booth.

his head hurt so much. he hadn't been getting much sleep since that day. he was always thinking.

what made you change Jungkook?

_-_-_

Taehyung sighed as he heard a knock on he door. who could be knocking this late?

Jungkook had his keys. it wouldn't be him. he hadn't even been coming back home since that day.

he placed the computer on his lap back on the coffee table, the documents disorganized as he walks to the front door.

"who is it?" he asks briefly before opening the door, his jaw dropping.

"hi." the female voice says, a smile on her face.

"oh my goodness. you- how- why- you're here!" Taehyung squealed, squeezing the door knob as he stared at the woman who stood in heels.

"can I come in or..." she trails.

"forgive me. please come on in." he says as he makes way for her to walk into the house.

the woman clears her throat as Taehyung just stares.

"so... this is where he lives?"

"yes. I and Jungkook live here. it's a small place. he got tired of staying in the other house and sold it."

"what other house?"

"it doesn't matter. the house he lived in when we were in college." Taehyung finishes, "but I still can't believe it. you're in my living room! Kang Il Ri! in my living room!" Taehyung clapped as one hand rests on his mouth.

she laughs cheaply, her eyes scanning the tiny apartment and then nods.

"I have to get going. my schedule is... you know how it is."
