"They absolutely love you." Taehyung comments as you sip on your iced coffee.
He was referring to the dinner he hosted last week. You were a nervous wreck, wondering whether you earned their approval or not.
The two of you were currently driving to Mi-so's parents' lake house. The drive was bound to take a few hours which is why you prepared appropriately for the occasion. You brought along snacks and two different types of drinks–one for hydration and another for caffeine.
"Really?" You ask as you bite into your breakfast sandwich. "I was hoping to make a good impression."
Tae smiles, keeping his eyes on the road. "Well you did. I think Jimin is planning to invite you to a lot of friend gatherings in the future."
Your smile falters a little. Neither of you planned out how long you two were gonna keep up this charade. It's not that either of you were in a rush to end things, but you knew that eventually it will have to happen. The more you dwell on it, the more you feel guilty. You don't like lying and now you've involved more people into your web of lies than you'd have liked. The thought threatens to sour your mood that you immediately squash those feelings as Tae turns to look at you.
"You feeling okay?" He asks, taking note of your distant expression.
You force a smile on. "I'm fine. I just need more coffee."
Tae squints his eyes at you for a moment before refocusing his attention back to driving.
"So, what should I expect this weekend?" You ask.
Tae thinks on it for a moment before replying, "I'm pretty sure they'll wanna ask about our relationship. I'm okay with however you chose to answer. And I expect a fair amount of drinking to happen as well. Don't worry too much about that though. If you don't want to drink, I'll easily step in." He chuckles on the last part.
Tae goes on to say, "Honestly, if at any moment you feel uncomfortable, just let me know."
"And how would I do that without drawing too much attention?" You ask teasingly, sneaking a glance at him. Even Tae's profile is gorgeous.
"You can yawn into your arm and I'll step in." He replies without hesitation.
You tilt your head, wondering how much thought he's given this. He seems to be fairly prepared despite how the whole arrangement was an impulsive decision on both your parts. You find it a little endearing, as if he's putting your comfort before keeping up appearances.
"The mere thought of yawning makes me want to yawn." You say, which incidentally, makes you yawn.
Tae chuckles. "Yeah, but you usually yawn into your hand. If I see you yawning into your arm, then I'll take it as a signal to intervene."
Your brows lift in surprise. "How very observant of you, Taehyung."
You were slightly impressed. Here before you, was your fake boyfriend, who seemed to know more about you than any previous relationship you've attempted. The thought makes your cheeks heat up. The more you pretend that Taehyung is your boyfriend, the more it feels natural which makes a few mental alarms go off.
