His Investor || TAENNIE (Book 2)

06

A week later...

'The storm of speed of 20km/hr hit the Seoul, South Korea today. The storm is more likely to stay all night. We would request the citizens not to leave their houses.' The news displayed as soon as Taehyung switched it on.

" Thankfully we reached home before it could get any worse! " Jennie exclaimed seeing heavy downpour and Taehyung nodded.

He was still surprised how he easily blended with her, and now they're good friends more likely best friends. Everyone enjoyed her company, even the employees. The only problem was Lisa, even though she didn't like her, but she still respected her and didn't try to disgrace her unlike before because now she knew what Jennie meant to everyone.

Lisa :
Where are you?
Are you safe?
Just stay wherever you are.

Taehyung :
I'm at Jennie's and I'll stay
here for a while.

Lisa :
What are you even
doing there?

Taehyung  :
I came to drop her off, but
the weather seemed to
be getting more worse.
So she just invited me
over and said I could stay.

Lisa :
And you agreed?

Seen ✔️

Taehyung left her on seen and he didn't knew what to reply. At first place, he didn't even know why he agreed to stay. Even though it was unsafe, but his apartment was just 20 minutes away.

" It's fine, don't overthink. You can go home an hour later. " Jennie yelled, it seemed like she could hear his thoughts.

" Do you want anything? Make yourself feel like home. " She said before she went upstairs to her room and he affirmatively nodded.

Taehyung walked towards the table nearby as a poloroid caught his eye. It was kind of similar to what he has. The same beach, the same dress the girl in her dream wore. For double check, he swiped his hands across his coat, incase of he still had it, but in vain. But now he surely figured it out the girl was definitely Jennie, the girl who he has been seeing all these years.

He tried connecting the dots, all that happened after she came back as an investor, how weird everyone behaved especially Lisa. " I knew she was familiar. " He whispered.

" What are you doing there? Come here. " Jennie called him as she changed herself in comfortable crop and sweatpants.

Taehyung knew it was all useless to ask her, as she was just gonna make up something knew. So he sighed and left.

" Let's do something fun! " " What? " " How about Karaoke? " " Hmm.. that's a good idea. " Jennie jumped and pulled out various wires and connected it to the TV, she plugged in the mic too.

" Lets start! Um...the first song we have is LOVE STORY!! "

Jennie started,

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

Taehyung held his mic ready for the next verse,

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say "Hello"
Little did I know

Jennie grasped ready for next,

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said

Jennie sang with all her heart as she knew it had a deep meaning.

Taehyung walked towards her,

"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"

Jennie held him now,

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh, oh
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said

Taehyung stared straight at her deep brown irises and held her by her waist,

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Oh, oh-oh

Jennie snuggled closer,

I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think

Taehyung was all ready to kneel,

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, "Marry me, Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you.

They completed the song together.

'Yes Kim Taehyung, I love you.' Jennie's heart throbbed. 'I love you too.' He thought.

A few minutes later, gush of heat ran across their face with quite observable pink tint on Jennie's face as well as red ears of Taehyung as they realised their position.

Taehyung was kneeling down and holding her by waist, she was sitting on his lap and their noses were just centimetres apart.

They were quite submerged in the song, but it seemed like they sang their hearts out.

" I-I...just...um.. " Jennie stood dusting non-existent dust on her sweatpants. " Y-Yeah um..a glass of w-water! " Taehyung also stood and rushed towards the kitchen.

They sat a foot apart on the couch trying to avoid awkwardness. Taehyung handed her a glass of water. " T-Thanks. "

" That was fun! " Taehyung decided to break the ice. " W-What was fun? " " I m-mean Karaoke and the song.  I enjoyed it, it had been quite long since I had fun. " " I don't think others are boring, they're fun to spend time too! " Jennie chuckled.

" No, I meant it was more fun with you Jennie Kim. " He whispered giving her butterflies.
