Tales of the heart

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Sniffling and feeling miserable as ever, Mihi speed-walked to the villa as she refused to look back even once to see if Taehyung was really standing there or if it was her crazy brain playing sick tricks on her. She knew she was angry at him, and she also knew that the entire day after their phone call she had been constantly thinking how she won't speak to him and won't take his calls if any came but what she hadn't expected was for him to appear in front of her out of nowhere.

"Mihi! I was making hot chocolate--" Lisa walked out of the modular kitchen as she held two mugs in her hands when she saw the sobbing figure of Mihi making her abandon them on the nearest table.

"Hey...what's wrong? What happened?" She asked as she held her hands in hers, gently making her sit on the couch.

"He is here." She sniffled, wiping at her cheeks as she took deep breaths to calm herself down.

"What?" Lisa frowned as she looked away before her eyes fell back on Mihi.

"...Taehyung?" She asked making the woman in front of her to nod at her.

"Wow." She silently awed making Mihi to give her a look that said how she wasn't finding anything 'wow' worthy in that.

"I-I mean...he was in Seoul a few hours ago...and now he is suddenly here? How did he even know where you were?" She asked but her lips were already stretching up in a smile.

"Lisa..." Mihi whined as she covered her face with her hands making Lisa laugh.

"Love, I just can't stop thinking how he is here so fast and without even you telling him where you are. I guess, love really does have a way to be conveyed and this guy knows exactly how to do that."

"He doesn't know anything! he thought I was upset because he didn't say thank you for the lunch I got him..." She sniffed as she watched Lisa's jaw drop open in shock.

"Oh god." And there went the amusement laughter as she started giggling which eventually transitioned into loud laughter.

"He is actually a bit clueless." Lisa muttered to herself as her laughter died down when the loud knocks on the back door resounded making Mihi to get startled as she whipped her head to gaze at the door before her eyes had sorted after Lisa.

"It must be him." The latter spoke as she got up to go receive the door but Mihi held her wrist, stopping her.

"Mihi? We should let him in." She whispered making Mihi leave her hand reluctantly as Lisa sauntered giddily to go open the door only to find Taehyung (rightfully) as he stood there with a subtle frown to his gorgeous face.

"Annyeongseyo..." Lisa greeted as she bowed to the man who briefly bowed back as his eyes travelled across her, letting themselves rest on the back of the woman who was wearing his coat.

"What a pleasant surprise! Mr. Kim...you should have told us you were coming so that I could have made arrangements." Lisa laughed as she gestured him to come inside politely as she greeted his bodyguards as well though she didn't expect him to come without one.

"I apologise...," Taehyung's deep voice cut through the thick tension in the atmosphere as he walked along before he was standing by the couch where Mihi sat as she refused to look his way, "I made the plans last minute."

"Why bother?" He heard the soft whisper travel to him making his heart clench as he let out a sigh.

His eyes meeting Lisa's, she shook her head at him as if telling him subtly that Mihi was really not in the mood but he was Kim Taehyung. Getting his girl upset was the last thing he wanted.

"Why don't you sit down? Do you want me to get you something? Coffee?" Lisa offered as she smiled.

"No...thank you. I just came to meet Mihi." He said as he subtly extended his hand out in front of the said woman who blinked up at it before looking at him and blinking again in all the innocence he couldn't imagine seeing.
