Chapter 5

Of all the possible questions your grandmother could have asked, she opted for the least prepared one.

"How did you and YN meet?" She asked when Taehyung stayed quiet for a while. He looked at you and there was mockery in his eyes. I told you she'd ask that! He meant.

What do we do now? Your expression screamed. He closed his eyes for a moment and then looked back at your grandmother. "She must have told you about that" he was trying to stall.

"No. Everytime i asked her about it, she always said it's nothing special. It was the usual. There was nothing interesting" she said "She  never said a word" she glared at you.

He looked back at you. Why haven't you said anything to her? His eyes asked.

I couldn't lie about it anymore? You answered, embarrassed. He took a deep breath before signaling I'll take care of it. 

"She was right. It wasn't anything special. We met in the company and I don't know when everything clicked and now here we are" Taehyung tried to wrap everything up in short to save himself the trouble of making a huge lie once again.

"If I didn't want to know that 'nothing special'" she said air quoting her fingers easily "i wouldn't have asked" she almost rolled her eyes.

"Give me the long version or the shorter version. But give me something to better understand my kid's love life" she said, sighing deeply. Taehyung felt really bad for how your grandmother was feeling. He wasn't a fan of lies but all he's doing was helping you grow the lie tenfold.

"Alright. I won't bother you anymore. If you don't wanna tell me, it's fine. I'll live with it" that was the last straw. Taehyung instantly felt a pang of hurt at the old woman's words. This wasn't supposed to go like this. They were supposed to hurt her.

"I'll tell you" he took the initiative. You were awfully quiet all the while and so he didn't think you were planning on sharing and blissful detail about your very much fake love life. The smile that reached your grandmother's eyes was priceless. She put the chopsticks and spoons away to focus on Taehyung's words completely.

"Umm so it happened about a few months ago" he started saying and quickly glanced at you when you mouthed 1 year to him when her grandmother's focus was on Taehyung. "It's almost a year. Wow! Time goes by fast when you're in love. Haha" he said nervously.

His palms were sweating under the table and he rubbed them over his sweatpants.

"Yeah, so almost a year ago when I joined the company, I was new to the city. I knew no one and no one knew me" he was really nervous and was repeating his words only to confuse everyone along with himself. But your grandmother was happy she was getting something. She didn't question a word. And so he continued.

"The first day of my work, she didn't come so I had no idea what she looked like. She came to the office a week later and till then I've familiarized myself with the office. I was at the coffee machine when she came along to get her coffee. She was busy on her phone and asked me to make her a cup. Me! A senior marketing Advisor" he made it such a big deal that your grandmother let out a chuckle.

You remembered the day. You were having a shitty day. Your products were getting a pretty good response in the market but the competitors were spreading rumors around. You remember thinking who is this man giving you a look of disbelief. If he was using the machine, how much work could pouring a second cup be??

"Oh god!! Bean, you made him make you coffee" your grandmother asked you totally amused.

"I wish. He didn't even look at me that day. He just turned and walked to stand near the window. He was rude. So rude" you glared at Taehyung while saying and it actually surprised Taehyung you remembered that day.
