" so , what do you want to do now you've got both your dancing feet back " Suga asked ..they were both walking hand in hand down a busy street after leaving the hospital.
It was surprising how much Suga could get away with on his own. If he wore non descript, generic clothing , cap or hat , mask and glasses , no one barely paid him any mind , that was one of the good things about being Korean, most of the population had similar features as in skin and hair colour.
He also knew security was close by, he couldn't actually see them at that moment but knowing they were there went a long way to helping him relax and just enjoy his time. Taking walks with Teri was something he had found he very much enjoyed since their mini vacation.
He looked around the busy streets and loved how he fit in and how at that moment he wasn't any different to any of the other people bustling around town..
" I'm honestly just happy walking with you " Teri replied , squeezing his hand.
They walked for a while and then stopped at a stall by the side of the road and got some Tteokbokki in a take away tub and made there way to a secluded bench on a patch of greenery , away from prying eyes .
Afterwards , full , Teri leant back and sighed as she rubbed her stomach. Suga smiled at her , he loved seeing her happy, and for one moment the dark cloud that was hanging over his head threatened his peaceful moment but he managed to keep it at bay.
That man .. his mind literally sneered the words..still hadn't been found ,but he had security planted near Teri's place and following both him and her at all times, it was surely only a matter of time , but still it worried him and was starting to stress him out. He needed a distraction.....
" how about I take you shopping ?" he said , but she shook her head " I don't need anything , unless you want to buy something for yourself , then I'm happy to come along " she smiled but he frowned.." why wont you ever let me treat you ?" he said somewhat sulkily . she laughed " You literally just bought me lunch, and you bring groceries every time you come home "
" Not the same " he said " Maybe I want to buy you things just because something is pretty and I have a pretty girlfriend "
She shook her head " do I look like some one that wants diamond rings and pearl necklaces " she chuckled some more , but for some reason this made him feel cross " If you don't want diamonds and pearls what do you want ?"
She sighed, " If I need anything I am quite capable of saving up and getting it for myself , currently I don't NEED anything "
" Why cant I spoil you , other boyfriends get to buy their girlfriends stuff "
" other boyfriends are not gazzillionairs this isn't a K drama where the rich CEO falls for the poor neighbour, I love you for you , not your money "
" Im sorry I have more money than you "his words slightly sarcastic , feeling more and more pissed off as he spoke , " You're being completely ridiculous !"
She stood up and started packing away their rubbish.." I'm being ridiculous am I ? Why can't you see it from my point of view? I cant buy you anything , unless you want a pair of boxers or a vest maybe so why would I take gifts from you ? "
Suga stood up too " Why wont you see it from my point of view then, I cant change my bank account and nor do I want to , i've worked hard for my money and now I want to spoil my girlfriend, what is so wrong with that ?"
She turned to face him, " what is wrong with you today ? why are we even arguing over this? don't you think you're being overly dramatic !"
He almost shouted back , but he stopped himself just in time, was he really being overly sensitive ? was the secret stress finally getting to him, was he being unreasonable ?
She took his silence as not wanting to answer her so she turned and started to walk back towards the main street again, throwing the rubbish in a bin on the way.
'am I wrong ?' he asked himself .. he shook his head ' no ! ' he ran to catch her up and caught her arm to stop her . She stopped but didn't look at him " Answer me this " he said " if it was the other way round how would you feel if you couldn't buy me a new watch or phone if I needed it ?"
With out turning she replied " You've just used the word need... there is a big difference between need and want " then she turned to face him , and to soften her words she reached for his hand " If I needed something and couldn't buy it myself I know I could ask you , but I genuinely don't need anything, as for want, well of course there are things I want , but you have to see it from my point of view... if one day people find out about us not only will people hate on me because I have you but they'll say im with you for your money, they'll dig up my entire life and they'll find me unworthy... If that happens at least I want to be able to hold my head high and say everything I own I have bought myself "
He was stunned, she had over thought this way too much " If ? if one day people find out about us ? Do you plan on seeing me in secret for ever then ? " He was hurt and couldn't understand her , yes sure they'd be backlash , but they'd ride it out just as Rose and Rm had... She read his mind " Im not Rose .. Im not a successful artist in my own name, I am a low level worker bee at Hybe , it wont be the same "
" I cant believe...." he was cut off by his phone ringing and he cursed as he pulled it out of his pocket..It was Jin... he looked at Teri with out answering it.. she got the hint and rolled her eyes, nothing had been resolved , but she started walking again to give him his privacy..
" His passport was flagged at the airport, he's back in Seoul but we weren't on the ground quick enough and lost him "
Suga swore and hung up, great , more stress, a girlfriend who's mad at him because he wanted to buy her presents and now the threat was back on home turf for sure ...Fuck ! he swore again as he looked up to see where Teri was . The crowded streets had swallowed her up and panic engulfed his whole body......
