SHAADI MUBARAK!

CHAPTER 15

ENJOY!!

Jungkook entered the dining room with a charming smile, scanning the area for his seat. His eyes landed on Taehyung's vacant chair beside her, and he smirked.

He caught Taehyung's gaze and gestured, asking if he could sit next to her. Taehyung nodded shyly, looking away, which made Jungkook chuckle.

He carefully pulled out the chair beside her, trying not to draw attention, and sat down close to her.

Taehyung's breath caught when she realized Jungkook was sitting incredibly close, their shoulders touching.

She glanced at him sideways, watching as he engaged in conversation with the others while the maids served food onto his plate.

Jungkook's eyes widened with excitement as he surveyed the dishes. "Oh my gosh, wow! Most of these are my favorites!" he exclaimed, digging in without hesitation, which made everyone laugh.

"Really? Then eat some more, son!" Jisoo's mom added another parantha to his plate. Jungkook smiled and nodded, his eyes shining with delight.

Taehyung shook her head, trying to focus on her food, but her eyes widened, and her spoon clattered onto her plate when Jungkook discreetly took her hand under the table.

She glanced at Jungkook, who didn't even flinch, too engrossed in his meal. Jungkook's smile grew, amused by Taehyung's struggles to free her hand from his grasp. But, being stubborn, he held her hand firmly yet gently, refusing to let go.

"Jungkook, humhara haath chhodiye na sab dekh rahe hain!"

("Jungkook, let go of my hand, please... everyone is watching us,")

she whispered, her gaze fixed on her plate.
Jungkook heard her but ignored her plea, unwilling to release her soft hand that fit perfectly in his, bringing him warmth.

"Tae, baby, why aren't you eating?" Tae looked at her mom, smiling awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

"I am eating, mom," she replied, forced to use her left hand to hold the spoon, struggling to eat with her non-dominant hand.

Yeri frowned, concerned, "Beta , why are you eating with your left hand?" Tae choked on her food and started coughing.

Jungkook quickly came to her , "Here," he said, offering a glass of water. Tae glared at him, but took the glass from his hand, her eyes still flashing with annoyance.

Eunwoo, worried, asked, "You okay, Tae?

"Yeah, papa, I'm okay... I was just... practicing," she said, forcing a nervous smile.

"Practicing? For what?" He asked, confused, while Tae shot Jungkook a glare, wanting to punch him for finding her situation amusing.

"Uh, Papa, actually, I'm practicing eating with my left hand," she explained, silently praying that they wouldn't ask more questions.

"Wow, nice!" Namjoon said, smiling at Tae, and she nodded, relieved.

Jungkook gazed at her with a sidelong glance and chuckled, noticing her pout, so he released her hand, not wanting to tease her further.

Tae's face lit up with a wide smile as she began eating with her right hand, her hunger finally satisfied.

Jungkook asked, "Where's the person we're all here for?" as he savored a bite of food.

Jisoo's mom replied, "Oh, he's arriving today from Italy. He wanted to come earlier, but got held up with some work," she said with a smile.

"I would never do that. When my marriage is fixed, I'll start preparing for it a month in advance. Your brother isn't serious about this marriage, I'm telling you, Jisoo." Jack shrugged his shoulders and reached for his glass to take a sip of water, but stopped midway when he saw Jisoo staring at him with a smirk on her face.
