And We Meet Again

28

Tzuyu rubbed her eyes as she opened her eyes that morning. She glanced at her left side. Taehyung isn't there.

She got up and look around. If she is not mistaken, Taehyung didn't go to work today.

Suddenly the door was opened by someone. Tzuyu look in the direction and saw Taehyung entering their room.

Then he shut the door. He look at her and smiled.

"Are you awake?" he asked.

Tzuyu just nodded. Taehyung sat down on the bed beside his wife. Taeyeon put down her head on Taehyung's lap.

Taehyung smiled and let her be. He ruffled her hair softly. Tzuyu closes her eyes again and smile as he ruffled her hair. She loves it.

"Are you gonna continued your sleeping beauty?" Taehyung teased her.

Tzuyu chuckles while closing her eyes. She nodded again. Taehyung kissed her forehead.

"Dear, maybe I will go out with Jimin for a while. Are you fine alone at home? Cause mom just leave. She has a few works to do." Taehyung said.

Tzuyu opens her eyes back and lookup. Their eyes met. Tzuyu pouted and shook her head. "Don't go, Oppa," she mumbled.

Taehyung frowned. "Why?"

"I need you to accompany me here. I don't want to be alone." Tzuyu still pouting.

"Just for a moment, Chewy-ah. We need to discuss something." Taehyung said softly.

Tzuyu still shaking her head. She then get up and walked to the bathroom. She went into the bathroom, leaving Taehyung alone.

Taehyung still frowning. He felt weird about her actions. Then his phone suddenly rang. He picked up the call.

"Nae, Jimin?"

"Bro, sorry. I can't meet you. I have meetings with a few clients. "

Taehyung gasped softly. Then he nodded.

"Alright."

Taehyung put his phone on the desk. He smiled. "And she can't sulk with me anymore," he said alone and chuckles.

Ten minutes later, Tzuyu went out of the bathroom after dressed. She dried her hair, totally ignoring Taehyung.

She then brushed her hair nicely. Taehyung just stared at her. He then got up from the bed and slowly walked closer to his wife.

He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer to him, hugging her from the back. Tzuyu still ignoring him. Taehyung kissed her neck softly which made Tzuyu's heart pound.

Taehyung then put his chin on her left shoulder.

"Are you sulking with me hm, princess?" he made his voice soft.

Tzuyu shut her mouth while her heart was racing. Taehyung knows that she's trying to hold her nervousness. He smiled again.

He hugged her tighter and pecked on her cheek.

"Tzuyu-ah.." he made his voice cute, more like aegyo.

"Hm." Tzuyu just humming as a response.

Taehyung giggled. He turned her, making her face him. Tzuyu didn't look in his eyes.

"Hey, I wanna tell you something," Taehyung said.

Tzuyu crossed her arms. "Hm." humming again.

"My meeting with Jimin was canceled because he was busy. So are you happy now?"

Tzuyu look at him and smiled.

"Really?"

"Yes, princess. So don't sulky anymore." He pinched her nose.

Tzuyu chuckled. Taehyung pulled her again into a hug. Tzuyu replies with his hug with a bright smile.

Then she looks up at him. "Oppa, where's my morning kiss?" she pouted again.

Taehyung laughed. Usually, he is the one who asks her about his morning kiss. But now, Tzuyu asked him this time.

He smiled and kiss her lips softly. Tzuyu let him be. She kisses him back. After a minute, Taehyung pulled the kiss away.

"Is that enough?"

Tzuyu giggles and nods.

Joy can't do anything but nod when Mrs.Chou asks her so many questions about Irene.

Joy's mother, Dr.Park is the personal doctor of Bae Jinnie, Irene's mother. But Dr.Park didn't know that her daughter is a friend of Irene's.

And Joy also didn't know that her mother is Mrs.Bae's doctor. She knows that Mrs.Bae is sick but didn't care to know who was her doctor.

Today, Mrs.Chou just knows that Joy was Irene's best friend. She knows Joy, but not that long. They have talked to each other since two days ago after Dr.Park meets Mrs.Chou.

She wanna ask Joy so bad, so she called Joy and talk with her but it was hard because Mrs.Chou was in New York at that time. That's why she comes back to Korea.

"Now, answer me. Is...Irene knows the cause of her mother's death?" Mrs.Chou asked.

Joy stays silent. She throws her to look away from Mrs.Chou. She's not trying to backup Irene, but she's afraid if Mrs.Chou reported her to the police too.

Mrs.Chou still staring at the young, pretty girl in front of her.

She raised one of her eyebrows. "Excuse me. Am I talking with a wall?" she changed her voice become serious.

Joy gulped. She slowly looks at Mrs.Chou.

"S-she knows." she stuttered.

Mrs.Chou just nod. So Irene knows about it. But, how?

"She knows but she didn't report it to the police about someone trying to kill her mother?" She asked again. Joy suddenly shakes because she's nervous.

"Um- ahjumma. Promise me. Don't blame me just because I keep this secret with Irene." she seems to beg Mrs.Chou.

Mrs.Chou furrows her brows. "Alright. What is it?" she crossed her arms.

Joy bite her lower lip. Then she sighed.

"She's the one who kills her mother."

Mrs.Chou froze at her spot. She widened her eyes as she stared at Joy. "What?" she asked, wanting to make sure what she just heard.

"She killed her mother. She is the one who put the poison on her mother's food and drinks. She tells me her plan. And I saw her put the poison." Joy telling the truth while looking down.

She didn't know why she included herself in this matter. Just because Irene was her best friend. Mrs.Chou clenched her fist.

Yes, she didn't care about Bae Jinnie. But since she can't stay quiet because she wants to know so bad the reason for her death, that's why she feels mad at Irene. She suddenly cares.

How could Irene kill her mom?

"Are you gonna help me or Irene?"

Joy stared at Mrs.Chou when she asked her that.

"I.."
