Starting With You. /S.Coups x Reader/

61. Do You Think I Know You?

Nari's Pov.

Past.

She placed down her coffee gently in front of me. "Of course. I practically think of Taerin as my second sister." I told her, saying my words from the bottom of my heart.

"I'm glad she doesn't bother you lot." She wasn't very good at keeping eye contact? Were those signs of some type of mental problem or maybe I was just overthinking it? She seemed to be blinking rapidly along with her signs.

"She's perfect really. No offense but she's technically the perfect girl even without having anyone to raise her." It sounded nicer in my head but I just saw how glum Ms. Ju turned when I mentioned that offense..

"Oh.." She dipped her head down.

"I'm sorry.! It wasn't supposed to be like that.." Now I had put myself in a sticky situation.

"No! It's alright! I'm just a bit ashamed of myself.." But as months went by, it was just us. She was also like a second Mum to me a friend aswell. I knew so much and I could just trust her overall.

Present.

I sat upwards, placing a hand over my face. "Jeez.." I groaned, getting out of bed. Did I just fall asleep like that? I must've passed out the second I laid in bed.

I heard the T.V on and stepped out seeing a lively household. "IT'S VACATION! I'M TELLING YOU!" Jimun pointed at the screen as I saw S.Coups lean on the couch from behind.

"IT'S VARSITY!" Taerin exclaimed.

"Isn't it variety?" S.Coups raised a brow.

"Variety! Spot on you are Jonghoon!" The host then blurted the answer out. The claps from the audience escaped out of the T.V.

"How?!" Jimun and Taerin were onto him.

"You all are loud." I chuckled, showing myself into the light. It was bright and sunny..It was dreamy?

"Oh sorry unnie!" Jimun apologized as I started up the coffee machine.

"Oh yeah. Don't you have work today Seungcheol?" Taerin asked.

"Fortunately later in the evening. If I had work now..I'm so dead." He laughed.

Taerin's Pov.

"Have you checked? Cause Jeonghan's calling me." Jimun picked up her phone.

"Yeah..I'm sure-" Seungcheol took out his phone and his expression changed in mere seconds. "AH SHIT! I'M SORRY! I'VE GOT TO GET GOING!" We all just watched him sprint out the door but then jog back in. He came back to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh damn." Jimun and Nari synced in together as Seungcheol left again.

"How are you going to hold back?!" Jimun punched me lightly.

"Hold back..?" I tilted my head.

"Yeah. Are you not going to worried about scandals?" She mentioned and that's when it all flooded back to me. Scandals..Of course. Now that we were together, we'd have to be more careful.

Later.

S.Coups' Pov.

"You keep coming late Seungcheol." The manager scolded me. "I get you have a girlfriend now..But you can't slack off either. Do you understand?" He had his hands on his hips.

"Yes Hyung..I'm sorry." I bowed deeply and he patted his head.

"You got a good one though." He patted my shoulders and walked off. Mingyu came up to me and smiled.

"Are you finally dating Taerin?" He crossed his arms and I chuckled.

"I am surprisngly.." I softly spoke and he locked me into his arms.

"Our S.Coups has grown so much!" Jeonghan exclaimed, jumping around with Joshua.

"Congrats hyung." Wonwoo and Hoshi smiled at me.

"Thank you." I grinned as we continued with our work.

Taerin's Pov.

I went out to go shopping with Jimun. "By the way. You said Unnie was going to open a new café here in Seoul." She mentioned as she was looking at a café.

"Yeah. In January. For now she's just working at the same town." I replied, fixing my bags around.

"Yeah. Time goes by quickly. My head still hurts though." She rubbed her forehead.

"I told you to stay at home." I sighed, rolling my eyes.

"Fresh air always helps!"

"Then why do you have a headache?" I just trapped her in her own stupid comment.

"Tch. Oh! Look at this bag!" She exclaimed, running to the display glass.

"It's cute. You want it? I'll buy it for you!" I smiled at her.

"Ah..No! It's alright." She grinned back..But her eyes glued onto the bag. "You know my boyfriend once talked about giving me a gift. I wonder what it would've been." She muttered.

"I'm sure it would've been a gift that would've made you happy." I said. "Enough of the sappy stuff Jimun! Let's go eat." The topic was getting saddening, I felt the air chill. We went to a nearby restaurant and that's when I planned to buy the bag she loved.

"What do you want Taerin?" She looked back at me, going to the counter.

"I'll just get something light." I replied.

"Alright! Me too!" She raised her hand.

"Can you order? I need to pick up something nearby." I initiated my plan.

"Okay! But make sure to come back before the food turns cold." She told me and I agreed. I walked on out and remembered the way back to that shop.

"It was..here!" I stopped myself at that display glass and made myself in.

"Welcome!" The bell jingled. It was one decorative bell they had.

"Hello! Is the bag out front for sale?" I pointed at the bag.

"Yes it is! Our famous collection of Winter." She exclaimed. "Would you like to take a closer look?" She offered.

"That'd be great thank you."

"You may have a look around or have a seat whilst I go find it." She explained and I nodded. I glanced at the shop and this place had a lot of wonderful bags. The prices were a bit the opposite of wonderful..

But from what I had saved from working, the collection Jimun liked was in my budget. It was a lot more cheaper than expected to be honest.

"Here's the bag!" The lady came back out, passing me the bag. "And might I tell you, we have a sale this winter luckily. That's why it was put out on display. It's 30% off!" She smiled.

"Oh is it?!" I glanced back at the bag again.
