Part 4

At evening, taehyung convinces jimin to go with them for engagement dress selection. As an idol, their manager had previously given them the measurements for their costumes and requested three options from them. Jimin's message chimes on Taehyung's phone as he is finishing up his recording and is getting ready to go. 'Sorry tae, I had urgent meeting with pr team so I can't accompany you. However, I'll send one of my friends to go shopping with you', taehyung glares at his phone while typing "Fuck you" message and hits send button.

He walks out of building and waits whoever jimin sent to him. How tf he can accompany stranger for his outfit selection. "What if I ditch the stranger and calls hoseok hyung instead.......yes perfect idea", his eyes shines at his own idea. He is about to call hoseok when jimin's call beats him.

"Look I m so sorry, but pr team called me up and there's some issue so we are having meeting rn. I have called one of my friend to accompany with you"

"You want me to choose my clothes with a total stranger?? No thank you I will call hoseok hyung."

"Taetae I tried everyone , hoseok hyung is out of country, namjoon hyung and seokjin hyung is on date. So the only option had is my friend I met yesterday."

"You do know how awkward it will be for me to go with them."

"Don't worry he might look some rude ass bitch. But he is actually baby star candy."

"FINE', he says, hanging up and waiting. He looks around to see if someone is coming his way or not. His eyes fall on person leaning on his bike. He takes closer look and its jeongguk. What is he doing here?? Jeongguk notices him as well as he approaches him.

"Hey, what brought you here??", jeongguk stares at him first and then smiles softly.

"Nothing, its just one of my friend's friend need my help so I m waiting for them."

"Oh what a coincidence, I m also waiting for my friend's friend to pick me up.", they both stares at each other and then blurts out in unison "Who is you friend?"

They chuckles at it. "Park jimin, He told me to pick up one of his friend.", jeongguk replies. Remembering Jimin's request that Jeongguk assist him, saying 'Jeongguk please help me, one of my friend needs me but I m in meeting rn. Please go and help him, please please please......', and how can he not after The Park Jimin messaged him.

"Oh so you are the one who jimin sent to pick me up", jeongguk eyes goes wide. No fucking way!!!! "Well he was gonna come with me to my engagement dress shopping but he ditched me.

Anyways how do you know jimin?"

"We are childhood friends but then we seperated due to adult life. so yeahh...", jeongguk replies while typing "I fucking hate you!! Fuck you." message to jimin. He doubts why did he decided to become friends with him!!! Fuck now he has to go to shop enagement dress of his Casa.

"Ohh alright. umm soo....... shall we go?? See if you don't wanna its alright I will go by myself. I m not saying you shouldn't come it will be great for me to have you-", taehyung babbles seeing jeongguk busy on phone but jeongguk shuts him up by keeping finger on his lips. "Its alright, lets go".

He hands Taehyung his helmet before getting on jeongguk's bike. After years, sitting down on a bike is pleasant. Idol life is so hard he can't go out with saesangs following him, reporters taking pictures of him. Jaehyuk usually comes with car that tinted black car. So no one can sees through it. But for first time he feels like free. He puts his both hands on jeongguk's shoulder and looks up at the dark sky. Over there, there are no stars at all-only a pitch-black sky. Jeongguk looks at him through mirror and wonders what elder is thinking. He glances up at sky and back on the road. He remembers elder saying in one of his interview that he loves star gazing. He even posted a picture of himself on insta.
