Sitting opposite to each other in their own chairs was none other than Jennie and Taehyung. They were scrutinizing each other without even speaking a word. Looking at the man who is fully clothed now, Jennie sighed in relief for his gentleman's behavior. At least he is decent enough to think of that in front of a woman.

"This is my room," Jennie said breaking the silence.

"FYI, this is equally my room." Taehyung voiced out not backing off in front of this stubborn woman.

"Leah! A jinx is in my room." She screamed at top of her lungs like a child.

"Leah! A pervert is in my room." He parroted the same comment earning a sharp glare from the latter which  Taehyung didnot mind and even winked at her playfully. Both were behaving like spoiled brats fighting over candy.

Leah rushed into their room when she heard the two familiar voices shouting. She expected this would happen sooner or later judging by Jennie's temper. The moment Leah entered, she could sense a tense atmosphere between the two of them.

"What is he doing in my room?" She demanded staring at her friend.

"What is she doing in my room?" Taehyung glared at Leah sending signals to not reveal a single word about their previous conversation.

Looking at Taehyung, Leah imagined him as if he had grown three heads with a shock evident over her face. Before half an hour, he shamelessly threatened her with their friendship under the condition that it would be stake unless he stays in a room next to Jennie. Now, he is acting as if he is innocent and she is the one being guilty. Her thoughts rewind to their earlier conversation.

....

Half an hour before.

"V, are you really staying for my wedding?" Her excitement knew no bounds and dragged Taehyung into her room even before anyone could see him. She would not even get a chance to talk if her mom or dad finds about his arrival.

"How do you know Jennie!" Sitting over a couch, he demanded. Another mystery of her. He has many questions that he had to find answers. Many of his close friends knew about her except him.

Leah was utterly confused with his sudden question.

"How do you know Je_"

"Since how long you knew each other?" He entailed when his patience was already running out when this idiot has been keeping mum to all the questions he is demanding answers.

"Four years." She mumbled in a week tone when his rage was making her shiver in fear.

"Does Austin also know about her?" He asked knowing the response he would get. When Leah nodded her head weekly, he confirmed his suspicion.

"Why didn't you introduce her to me?" He blamed her as if it was her fault.

My fault? There were times, Leah had tried to patch him up with her friends and fellow models, but everyone ended up hating him despite he has been named as the most handsome hunk by the entire world. He would always reject them with the most bizarre reasons and they would always complain to her about how he has mocked them. From then on, she stopped setting on dates for him. At one point in time, she had thought of bringing Jennie and Taehyung together, but she was afraid of how these two stubborn ones would get together. Besides, she did not want her best friend to flare up in anger. Who would have thought, Taehyung already knew her and the way he is possessively talking about her, Leah could sense there is something more to it.

"Do you like her?" Leah asked him hesitantly to confirm whatever she has been assuming is voracious.

"No."
