The next day, when Taehyung arrived, Jennie was still sleeping. Auntie Liu pulled her up from the bed. She saw Taehyung eating breakfast with her parents and ignored Im Irene.
Unconsciously, Jennie slowed down and stepped lightly. Suddenly, she thought that this moment was very quiet. It was so quiet that she could hear her heart beating faster and faster. Her vision was the same as if had been handled by a movie effects designer. Her parent's faces were blurred like the background. Im Irene's face was blurred with mosaics. Only Taehyung's face was in high definition.
A 25-year-old man had just stepped onto the phase of maturity. Men before 25 years still had the vestiges of naivety left. At that age, they are energetic but often get carried away. Their own feelings were the most important. Men over thirty were too sophisticated. Although they had experienced a great deal of hardships, perhaps they already understood how to treasure a woman. But they didn't have much youthful fervor left. Their feelings had mainly stabilized. But being just this age was good. There was still some passion and fervor remaining from youthful days. They could begin to understand how to treasure a woman. No matter if it was love or marriage, both were their first priority.
If before 25 years old was the growth period of men, then from 25 till 30 was the time where men's character was set. Therefore, that's what people were.
In short, men at this time were like a slowly ripening fruit. They were at their most attractive time. Their each and every move carried an attraction that was difficult to put in words.
Taehyung had put on a blue shirt today. His shirt sleeves were rolled up his arms. Only two buttons on his collar were buttoned, revealing part of his collarbone. To Jennie's eyes, every movement of Taehyung's head, every time he raised his hand, was full of allure. Perhaps it was because the two of them knew each other too well, those changes that had accumulated over time had been overlooked. In her memory, Taehyung seemed to have skipped over the growing period. Suddenly, he had grown up. In the last moment he was still the "little gege" who lead a group of buddies to hit people until they were badly bruised. In the next moment, he had already turned into a cold and gloomy business elite.
Jennie suddenly felt a sense of loss because she had missed all it. Her eyes felt astringent. She wanted to cry a little.
"Jennie," He raised his head to see her standing on the staircase. He was slightly surprised, then grinned at her.
Jennie blinked at him, then blinked away her tears. Their familiarity with each other had already penetrated to their bone marrow. Actually, there was no uneasiness. There were also complaints ingrained in their bones, "Taehyung. Why did you come so early?"
Park Nayeon heard her words, and frowned, "Jennie, how can you be so impolite? She also looked at Taehyung somewhat apologetically.
Taehyung's expression had no change. He even smiled toward Park Nayeon, showing that he didn't mind.
Jennie was taught bewilderedly. She felt wronged and glanced towards her mother. Then she said to Taehyung, "You only just arrived yesterday. Why didn't you rest a little bit more? How could you come so early? It definitely isn't good for your health. It's my fault. If I had realized this earlier, then we could have met in the afternoon."The people who were already expecting for Jennie to complain to Taehyung that he came too early and harmed her to not be able to sleep in were all a bit stunned. It was very unusual. In the past when meeting Taehyung, when had she not woken up very late? Even when she finally climbed out of bed, she still complained about Taehyung.
Taehyung still managed to reply quickly, "No problem, I already slept on the plane yesterday. Moreover, I haven't seen uncle and auntie in a long time. Only if I come early, can I catch uncle and auntie before they go to work and chat a while."
Jennie saw that his complexion looked very good without any signs of exhaustion. She took it to be true and didn't pursue this line of questioning. She thought she was a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to pester the aunties to make breakfast.
After she left, Im Irene who had been continuously lowering her head to silently eat breakfast asked Taehyung, "Taehyung gege, you want to go out today."
Since Im Irene's father was on the scene, Taehyung politely replied, "En."
"But, isn't Jennie already going to out today........."
When Jennie came out, she saw Im Eunha speaking with Taehyung. Her heart was full of anger. She deliberately pulled out a chair, making an ear-piercing nose. She sat down and blocked Im Irene's line of sight so that Im Irene could only see the back of her head, "Auntie is baking egg tarts. Do want to eat a little more?"
"Okay. " Taehyung naturally didn't refuse, although he was already full. But he showed absolutely no interest in what Im Irene was going to say afterwards.
Im Irene grinded her teeth and lowered her head to eat breakfast. She who was always a good student, unexpectedly hadn't gone to class today. Also, what she was wearing wasn't as plain as before. She had changed into an exquisite white skirt and her hair was also down, softly hanging on her shoulder.
Park Nayeon's attitude toward Taehyung wasn't too intimate. There was more of a mother's examination and observation. She asked a few questions about his parent's recent situation and was concerned about his recently started company' situation. She didn't say much, then she went off to work.
Im Yoongi's attitude towards Taehyung was somewhat cold. Actually, he was cold towards everyone except Im Irene. In this person's bones, there was an inexplicable feeling of superiority. It was ridiculous and pitiful.After eating breakfast, Jennie dragged Taehyung to the garage. Seeing the bicycle in the corner, Taehyung had a few doubts.
Jennie excitedly asked him, "How is it? Can this bike be ridden?"
When Jennie went upstairs late yesterday night she thought she seemed to have a big adverse reaction to riding cars. Tomorrow, she had an appointment, if she rode a car then she would be half dead. That would be too disappointing. So late at night, she stole off to the garage to find this bicycle.
To be carried by one's beloved person, at any age, would be a romantic and fortunate thing. However, after Taehyung had graduated from university, she had never been carried again. These years, she had ridden in many luxury cars, but the most fondly remembered time was the time when she sat in the backseat of a bicycle, feeling the breeze. It was a free and relaxing feeling. Besides, to just arrive at one's destination, it would affect the mood of the date. "I'll look," Taehyung crouched down and looked at the bicycle. The body of the bicycle had already been cleaned and tires had also been pumped by Jennie. He tried the pedal and pinched the wheel tires. He found the bicycle pump and pumped the tires once more, then said to Jennie, "Try sitting on it."
Jennie obediently sat in the back. Taehyung sat on the front seat. He pedaled twice. The tires' elasticity was very good; it didn't leak any air. However, it had been put away for many years, how long the bicycle would last was impossible to tell.
"How is it? How is it?" Jennie hugged his waist and excitedly asked from behind. Taehyung got down from the bicycle and looked at Jennie, "It can still be used."
"Then let's use this bicycle to go out today, okay?"
Jennie's eyes were very big. When she intentionally opened her eyes wide at someone, sometimes it was frightening. However, this time, you could clearly see yourself in her eyes. It gave one the illusion that she was very dedicated towards you.
She looked at Taehyung like this. For a moment, he was absent minded, only when Jennie asked again did he recover. He smiled and nodded.
"Let's go out quickly. In a while, it will be very hot." Taehyung naturally had no objections. He went out to park his car in Jennie's garage. Jennie pushed the bicycle out of the garage and waited outside for him. Jennie leaned on the bicycle and looked in the direction of the garage to wait for Taehyung. She unexpectedly heard someone call out to her, "Jennie." That voice made people feel it was a spring breeze.
Before, she had been aware of the breeze from a car driving past and the sound of the car braking. She hadn't cared. In this community, which family didn't have a car. She hadn't thought that the car's owner would be familiar with her. She looked back strangely. She saw the person who she didn't want to see the most in this life, Kim Namjoon. Kim Namjoon saw her look back. His look was gentle with a little bit guilt," I've made you wait for a long time, Jennie. I'm sorry. It's because I promised to pick up Lin Fei first, so I was late."
Jennie basically had no idea what he was talking about. Her previous good spirits were completely gone. She looked at him coldly and replied, "What are you here for?"
"Jennie, wasn't it you who asked him to pick you up? Who are you pretending for?"
Jennie looked at the woman sitting in the passenger seat of the car, bewildered. She saw that Jennie was looking at her and coldly turned away. It was evident that she loathed Jennie.
"Lin Fei, how can speak like to Jennie." Kim Namjoon's smiling face receded. The feeling of protection was obvious.This sentence seemed to enrage Lin Fei. She opened the car door and slammed it shut forcefully. She said angrily, "Kim Namjoon, make it clear, who is actually your girlfriend!!!" This woman was very beautiful, a morbid beauty. Her personality was very rude and unreasonable. Kim Namjoon looked helplessly at Lin Fei and then looked at Jennie. He seemed very awkward, "Lin Fei, I've said many times that Lisa is only my junior."
"Junior! Do you dare say she doesn't have any intention towards you!!!"
Jennie leaned on the bicycle and looked coldly at the two people. This kind of childish scene already didn't make her feel anything. This play, they were still working hard to perform, but she already had retreated behind the scenes secretly.
It was well-known that Kim Namjoon had a childhood sweetheart. Although Kim Namjoon "didn't like" her, this girl's health wasn't good. She was always attempting suicide. Thus, Kim Namjoon "had to" comply to be her boyfriend.
Everyone could very clearly see his helplessness. So, even though he rejected Jennie, Jennie always thought his feelings towards her were different from his feelings toward other people. He never rejected her being near him. His expression when looking at her was different than when looking at others. Even when she quarreled with Lin Fei, he always protected her. Now looking at all of this, it looked like a joke.
Actually, he was the same towards every single girl, so gentle that it would let people become addicted. Actually, he, Kim Namjoon, was proud of himself watching a group of women fight for him. The "feeling helpless" him was contented with himself. The reason that Im Irene and she had been treated specially, was probably because they were a pair of sisters. Perhaps, this let Kim Namjoon feel a morbid state of achievement.
Kim Namjoon, this person, using the hypothesis from several years later had Wangzi Bing. From when he was small, he fantasized that he was a prince. After he grew up, he really though he was a prince.
This sickness must be treated. It was pity that Lin Fei's life was so short. Otherwise, this woman, who frequently cut her wrists and swallowed sleeping pills, could be with Kim Namjoon who fantasized that all women liked him, this mentally ill person, forever. It was also a pretty good ending. Thinking about all the kinds of things that happened in the past, Jennie's heart was like there was a raging beast inside. A black shadow shrouded her. There was a strong desire to erupt. Suddenly there was a person who gently held her hand. He gently but with strength, pried opened up her hands. Her fingernails had been digging into her flesh. His palm was very warm. It seemed to disperse all the coldness in her heart.
"Let's go," Even thought it was a statement, it contained several points of inquiry and uncertainty.
Jennie looked up at him. He was also looking down at her. Facing him, Jennie showed a smiling face and nodded, "En, let's go out."
They ignored the other people and got on the bicycle, passing by Kim Namjoon and Lin Fei. Im Irene who had been standing, waiting in the doorway, finally showed some movement. She pursued them calling in a loud voice, "Jennie, aren't you going to Kim Namjoon's birthday party?"
Jennie was taken aback. She finally remembered that today was Kim Namjoon's birthday. No wonder Kim Namjoon would lead Lin Fei to make her feel stifled early in the morning. This wasn't her fault. Although, she knew Kim Namjoon's birthday was coming, they liked to celebrate the lunar birthday. The date changed every single year. Who would be able to remember the date "seven years ago." But....... If she had forgotten, then she had forgotten, it was already no longer important. Jennie didn't pay attention to Im Irene. She firmly embraced Taehyung's waist and leaned her face on his back. She felt his steady heartbeat. She closed her eyes. At this moment, she felt very relieved. For the rest of her life, she was content to be with this person.
Im Irene, when you no longer make me envy crazily, when Kim Namjoon no longer brings me suffering, without these two sharp blades, you, what can you still use to harm me?
Im Irene, when the two beautiful sisters have been short of one, the power is also cut in half. Without me, such a "vicious" woman, to set off your, the pure woman's good-heartedness, Kim Namjoon, would he still have liking for you? Let's wait and see.
A bicycle naturally wasn't as fast as a car. Even though, Kim Namjoon and the other two wasted some time, they still quickly overtook Jennie and Taehyung.
Near the road, Jennie poked Taehyung's back. Taehyung helplessly said something to her. One of his hands held onto the bicycle, the other hand moved her hand away. Since her hand was taken away, she used her other hand to keep on poking him. They were having fun. Finally, Taehyung had to use his hand to skillfully trap both of Jennie's hands in front of him. Jennie scratched his palm and tickled his belly. That pink woman's bike steered by Taehyung went forwards, crookedly. People who saw it would want to laugh.
The moment in which they brushed past each other was enough to let the three people in the car hear Jennie laugh. The laugh contained a little girl's unique taste; it was willful and open.
From beginning to end, the two people didn't even glance at them. It was like they had agreed on it beforehand. Kim Namjoon continuously looked at the reflector, until it wasn't possible to see those two-people's form again.
