Bad Date Bodyguard - kth

51

You anxiously dig your teeth into your lower lip as you stare up at the empty parking lot in front of you. As you stare, you can't help but allow your body to fidget. Fingers picking at dead skin by your cuticles, eyes darting back and forth as you scan your surroundings, and your feet shifting your weight back and forth in place.

Only about four days until Taehyung comes back.

You two have been texting frequently and FaceTiming every single night before bed. It's helped the past five days go by quickly, but you still find yourself checking the clock every couple of hours in between Christmas shopping and seeing Seulgi and Sunmi.

Speaking of those two, they're the reason you're standing in this empty parking lot in the cold right now.

They said they'd meet you here fifteen minutes ago to go Christmas shopping together. You still had to buy your mother something along with Taehyung and figured it'd be nice to have two outside parties' opinions on what to get him.

Sighing, you take out your phone and check your texts while you wait.

You see a few messages from Taehyung. This causes you to smile while reading his messages.

Taehyung 🥰: thinking about you, just got your Christmas present 🤔

He also sent a selfie holding up a wrapped Christmas gift. This causes you to smile as you respond.

Y/N: oh? I'm about to hunt for yours right now 👀

Taehyung 🥰: oh, you're giving me a dead animal for a present? 🤯

You let out a soft laugh and shake your head as you begin typing another reply before you feel a cold hand pressed against your upper arm.

Jumping immediately, you gasp and drop your phone. You don't hesitate to grab your safety keychain, holding out the pointed plastic tool. Pushing your hand forward, you attempt to jab it into whoever grabbed you.

Luckily enough for Seulgi, she dodged it immediately.

"Whoa there," Seulgi says before you relax, letting out a relieved breath. She reaches down and grabs your phone, handing it to you while examining it for scratches. "And you needed Taehyung to be your bad date bodyguard? Pretty sure you can take of yourself, babe."

Taking your phone from her, you roll your eyes before sending the message to Taehyung that you had typed out. You then shake your head.

"The only reason I have this keychain now is because Taehyung is the one who got it for me." You state. This statement causes Seulgi to smile before she gestures for you to follow her.

"Sunmi's already inside. Let's go meet up with her."

"You mean to tell me I was standing out here by myself while one of you was already inside?" you question. Seulgi shakes her head.

"I had to park the car and had her go in, I already saw you smiling at your phone like a teenager in love." She states. You grin before shaking your head.

"Well, speaking of that, he just said he already bought me my gift." You bite onto your lower lip. "I don't even know what to get him."

"I'm sure we'll find something... you mentioned him liking clothes. Maybe we can find him something in one of the clothing stores here."

"He has a specific style though. Some days he's wearing sweatpants and sandals and the next he's in dress clothes." You take a deep breath before glancing around. "So, what were you two up to before this?" you question out of curiosity.
