He's Mine No Objection Allowed | Taennie Adaptation [Under Editing]

Chapter 12:

He pursed his lips, taking a few steps to stand in front of her. Looking down he could see that her right ankle was wrapped in a lot of white bandages, but it was mostly covered by her dress. Enough that if he wasn't looking carefully, he wouldn't have spotted it.

After noticing what he was looking at, Jennie explained. "Today, I sprained my ankle at work."

Taehyung asked, "Can you walk?"

Jennie went along with it, shaking her head and pitifully saying, "If I move, it hurts."

Taehyung stretched out an arm.

Jennie finally got to touch his hand.

It felt even better than she'd imagined. Hard, steady, giving her a sense of safety and stability just holding it.

A few steps later Taehyung slowed down. "There's plenty of people in there, bend your head down."

Jennie obediently lowered her head into Taehyung's shoulder. Taehyung didn't have any smell, just the dry cleaning scent left on the suit.

The people at the seat stared wide-eyed at the two people walking over.

Jennie was already a little experienced with meeting Taehyung's friend. She smiled as sat down. "Hi, I'm Kim Taehyung's friend."

Crew cut let out an 'oh'. "Heard of you, heard of you, that one with really high alcohol tolerance?"

"My tolerance is actually pretty low," Jennie said, humbly. Noticing that this crew cut guy was a little unfamiliar, she asked, "Were you there that day?"

"No, I heard them say so," Crew cut said, as he laughed. "They said she has long legs and is really pretty. I took one look and knew it's you."

Jennie smiled even more sweetly.

Taehyung then asked, "How did you
know I was here?"

Jennie glanced at Jungkook, who gave her a look.

She coughed once. "It's just coincidence, coincidence."

"..."

Just when she finished speaking, the waiter brought up a few lobsters.

Jennie looked at the lobster bigger than her face and found her mouth watering.

On the table the phone lit up, Taehyung instinctively glanced at it before realising that it was not his phone.

[Old Witch: When you're sleeping don't put pressure on your leg, remember what you're not supposed to eat, tomorrow I...]

He didn't see anything after that.

Jennie swallowed her saliva, picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of... carrot.

She was about to put it in her mouth when she felt a familiar warmth on her hand and someone pressed her hand back.

Jennie paused. "What is it?"

Taehyung looked at the lobster meat surrounding the carrot and said, "Don't eat that."

"Hey, why aren't you letting her eat." Jungkook, sitting across from them, looked completely befuddled. "Don't be too polite, eat as much as you want. Oh right, can we exchange contacts?"

Jennie placed down her chopsticks. "Alright." It's unclear who she was answering.

Throughout the meal, all Jennie did was sip at the water and listen to Crew cut making small talk with Jungkook. Taehyung occasionally cut in a few sentences and occasionally glanced at her.

"Why didn't you come up yesterday night?" Jungkook looked at Jennie.

Jennie asked, "What?"

"Yesterday, Liang Bo's party," Jungkook said, "Didn't he go down to invite you? He was a little drunk, he didn't say too much, right."
