My Only Girl

Chapter 21

Y/n POV

Taehyung took me to a famous shopping Destination popularly known as Myeongdong. Myeongdong is a cosmetic lover’s paradise. I got to see all the popular Korean cosmetic brands in Myeongdong, from Innisfree and Etude House to Tony Moly and MISSHA. Myeong Dong has ABUNDANT beauty stores and brand, I felt my heart literally fly away the moment I stepped into this crazy shopping district. My mouth got agape in overwhelming excitement and it made me embarassed as Taehyung was noting all my expressions in his camera while giving his deep ringing laughs in between...we went to many shops and I bought only those items on which there was a 1+1 offer applied...Aside from my popular trusty beauty brands’ flagship stores, it also had beauty stores that house a few brands together. While going from one store to another, many shopkeepers tried to lure us by offering free masks...that also herbal. But I felt bad when I accepted them and came out of the shop just roaming inside and buying nothing....lol.
I noticed that there are both expensive and cheap products available in the market...and as for me I opted for the cheap cosmetics only...even though Taehyung was continuously trying to convince me to buy only expensive products cuz according to him cheap cost products are cheap too...only if he knew that most of the branded cosmetics were costing me just a penny of my pocket according to my previous salaries...so why to buy expensive ones...It’s not a secret that cosmetics and skincare in Korea are very cheap, since that is where they come from. Later, we went to an exclusive shop of backpacks...there even Taehyung was not able to control himself  and we both ended up buying Similar bagpacks. . We got a huge backpack with decent quality at only 10,000 KRW! I felt happy as now I  can put so many things, including my laptop inside it,  woohoo! Good to go for my new workplace...I bought so many cosmetics there and Taehyung was helping me to carry them...or should I say he was not letting me to carry my own shopping bags and looked like a porter...I actually felt bad for him but what should I say?....I admit that I don't use too much of cosmetics as doing make up troubles me a lot and I am lazy af in it...But lo and behold, I was like any other girls who probably would never find themselves having too many cosmetics… Basically, #ILostControl in the heaven of cosmetics in Myeong Dong! :P

After a few more rounds of shopping stores, I decided to put a full stop on shopping as we both were now tired and out of energy due to hunger as well...after a walk of 5 mins from Myeongdong, we reached to a cat cafe and we went inside to rest for a while. We were given slippers to wear before getting inside as it's important to maintain hygiene in such places. It was really a good step to come to this cafe as I literally got lured to a Cat Mascot there... Taehyung ordered us Creamed latte Cappuccino as we enjoyed playing with multiple cats surrounding us sitting on soft furry floor mats...as I was feeding a cat and peppering her with soft pats, through the corner of my eyes I felt Taehyung's intense stare at me...after those two heart throbbing moments I had with him today during our tour....I felt my heart fluttering in my throat and my eyes twinkling with fascination whenever I gazed towards him...making me unable to have a eye contact with him. I excused myself to use restroom and went out. As I looked myself at the mirror, I felt strange as my cheeks were glowing with a soft tint of pink and my eyes were shining with new hope and oomph in them. I felt a benevolent form of spritual energy running throughout my body making me feel more optimistic and enthusiastic ever than before. Was I always like this?...or was it all happening now only?....it didn't took me much time to realise that now I needed to solve this puzzle as soon as possible....the puzzle about my feelings for Taehyung....I need to put every piece of this puzzle on its right place and wait for the perfect picture to come out that it bears...

I came out of the washroom and made my way to where Taehyung was sitting. But soon something caught my eyes, Taehyung was talking to girl of just my age and patting a cat that was settled in the lap of the girl.... smiling eye to eye and a bit shyly as well.... unknowingly I felt a rush of jealousy run through me and I made my way to them but trying my best to keep my calm. As I neared them, I heard a few bits of their conversation...
"Oppa...she's really beautiful...but you are handsome too...I think you should take participation in this contest with her...otherwise I won't mind to be your partner as well because I think we will make a good partnership too..." And with that she winked towards him to which he just looked into his lap...avoiding her gaze. But in a split of seconds he looked back at her and said," I am sorry but I am not interested....thank you for approaching me but...please find someone else...you should probably leave now..." He spat at her and she made a poker face at him and soon left. I felt as if I won some kind of battle when Taehyung shooed that girl away...but what they were actually talking about??....who she was and why she approached him?...what contest?...what partnership?...who's beautiful?....but most importantly she was literally flirting with him in public....again I felt my anger boil in jealousy and I made my way to him stomping....
"Who was she??" I spat.
"Huh..oh...you are here...what took you so long?" He asked rather than answering my question.
"Taehyung...I asked you something...please answer..." I said calming my nerves.
"Um..I don't know who she was!...but she had approached me to take part in a upcoming Couple's Fashion Contest in downtown Seoul...but I shooed her away...she wanted me take part in it with her cuz she thought I am handsome and charming just like a model...but I am not interested so I refused" he said giving me a detailed explanation. I felt myself getting relaxed after his explanation and sat on the mat...not saying anything to him...
"Hmm...I see...but who's beautiful according to her?" I asked cuz it was the only question he didn't answered.
