Last illusion: Kth ✔

chapter 17 :- you care

Ira slept empty stomach that night. But her mind was full with her thoughts.
I feel suffocating sometimes.
I'm feeling hungry should I make ramyeon.
Ira looked behind her shoulder and saw Taehyung sleeping  peacefully with his both hands behind his back.
She got up and went to her hunt for food.
In the middle of night she was eating her noodles peacefully on kitchen island with her kindle in one hand. Opened books are scattered the island but she was reading her fantasy novel over them.
She felt a tap on her shoulder and turn to look back Taehyung rubbing his eyes.
The process lead her kindle to fall the ground.
"Oh God why are you here Taehyung?"
"I heard the sound downstairs and you were not in the bed".
"I was making a mid night snack."
"Ok have it I'm going to sleep. I told you we should stop by a restaurant while coming here but you refused."
Ira was embarrassed by now.
"It's not like I have control on hunger."
I have not eaten anything  since last night.
"Yes you are right carry on."

"You have left early this morning."
Taehyung asked was on phone with Ira while driving towards his building to work.
"Yes I have an early class today."
"Ok if you want I can pick you up from hospital."
"Don't worry I don't know when I'll be free."
"Ok bye".
Ira cut the phone without greeting.

How is this marriage going to work if you going to pretend we are strangers.

Taehyung was standing outside her lecture hall. And waiting for Ira to come out.
After encountering with whole class coming out of the door he thought where she left.
"Ira...  here."
Taehyung saw Ira going out alone.
"What are you doing here Taehyung."Ira said adjusting her bad on her shoulder.
She looked tired, there was dark circles under her eyes.
" I thought of picking you today and since it's already 7pm we can head to a restaurant for dinner."
"Taehyung I'm tired to go and dress for a outing today."
"You don't need to we are heading straight there only."
"But..I look like a..."
"You look fine now come."
He dragged her outside the campus and made her sit in car.

"You seem lost Ira has something happened?"
"No I'm fine."
"You can share Ira it's no big deal."
"It's nothing..."
"Ok leave your books here only."
With that they headed towards the restaurant.
Ira looked like a child with her jeans and oversized t shirt she is wearing a tote bag on her shoulder. And thought why he has chosen a Italian restaurant when he knows she don't have time to change from her medschool attire.
Taehyung pulled the chair for Ira to sit a lavishing restaurant on the rooftop of a 30 storied building. They were beneath the stars in the dark night.
"Taehyung you don't need to overdo we could have had dinner at home what's the purpose of this. Just look at me God."
"Well I may not seems to be a romantic person. But I'm.
And we are here because we have been sharing roof since one month now and the least we can do is have a good food."
"So my hand cooked food seems trash to you. I cook non veg for you even though I don't eat it." Ira said with a smirk to turn the tables against Taehyung. She was angry for the way he brought her here.
"No I didn't mean that. You look fabulous. But I just want to give you a break from the routine which you solely follow everyday."
"As you say.. "
They have their dinner in peace with the growing conversation from last time.

When they were in car don't know what Ira thought at that moment but she wanted him to know why she was lost before.
"Actually I have seen a still birth today."
Ira suddenly blurted out her words when they have reached their building.
"That's why you were behaving off today."
She nodded and looked down towards her short nails which she has to keep to ease at work.
"We can't predict what universe decides."
Taehyung said with a sigh like he was keen to listen Ira and her inner thoughts.
"I know but I can't forget the face of mother when she heard the news."
"She nurtured the child for 9 months no one can imagine how she was feeling."
"I know but encountering such things take a high note on my mental health."
"That's why I'm saying Ira you don't need to survive alone in this. If not me then share things I have barely seen you talking to anyone. Somedays went when I have not listened your voice for the whole day."
Ira remained quiet. Her mind was somewhere else.

Door bell rings.
"Hello Ira how are you?"
The former males smiled at their best friends wife.
"Hello I'm good jimin and jungkook.
Welcome".
They entered the apartment with 2 huge bags . It was nearly 10pm at night and what caused them to crash at night like this at Taehyung's house.
" I will call Taehyung, he is in his office."
" Yes.. we have a plan for movie today Ira and we have all the materials required to make this weeknd a bash."
"It's good to hear. Let me just check on him."

Ira knocked the door of Taehyung's office.
"What happened Ira."
"It's jimin and jungkook for the movie night here."
She entered the room and saw him with his laptop."Ohh I  forgot about  that"
"Don't worry you can enjoy I'm in our bedroom you can call me if you want anything specific for snacks."Ira said moving towards the stairs for their bedroom.
"Tomorrow is Sunday Ira yo can also join for the movie."
"It's OK Taehyung. Have a boys night. You have been working since month without break. Your Sundays are even not free for you. Grab this on tonight. Ira said with a teasing smile and raised eyebrows.
OK this is a progress.
He grabbed her hand and dragged her along with him."Come on we will enjoy the home theater needs to be clean. We haven't used it since we arrived here."
She smiled and walked along with him.
Jungkook distributed one one beer bottle to everyone in the theater.
They all were lying comfortably in the red cushion chairs. Ira was sitting with Taehyung,  she realxed into the chair waiting for the movie to start with a beer bottle in hand.
She has only taken few sips and she is disliking the taste already. She clutched the bottle in her hand to make sure everyone that she is having it But actually she is not.

Taehyung grabbed tha blanket from the drawer below his feet and gave it to Ira.
Ira was now curled up against the chair with both her hand clutching the bottle and beneath her head. She was leaning sideways to Taehyung's chair for finding better position to lay her head.
Taehyung noticed that her eyelids were dropping slowly, he only needed to turn his face towards her."are you tired ira?".
She hummed in response. Taehyung smiled and slightly kisses her forehead for her to be still for sometime by the feeling. She smiled in inrespone though and closes her eyes.
