The Devils sweetheart || Taennie Adaptation [Book 1]

Chapter 45 - House rules

Fastening himself to the chair, Taehyung was looking at the girl who has been seriously jotting down on her notes for an hour as if she is preparing for the toughest exam in the world.

"Are you done?" Taehyung asked trying to peek into the book. He was curious about what sort of rule bombs she would drop. Judging by her crazy mind, he knew it would be no better.

"I told you not to peep until it is finished," Jennie said and resumed her writing. After a long stretch of writing the rules, she exhaled loudly.

"I am done. Here are the rules for ten days. You have to follow it very strictly." Jennie said handing over the notes.

"Is this called handwriting? It looks like a chicken scratch." Taehyung looked at the messy handwriting which was barely understandable even if he was trying to read it letter by letter. On top of it, she has scratched it vigorously in every line. Even preschool kids writing is at least legible.

"Well, I am an intelligent girl, so my mind thinks very fastly. And naturally, my handwriting is sloppy." Jennie proudly looked at her handwriting.

"If you are intelligent, why do you have to strike out for nth time. You and your narcissism. Everything I say, you will use it to your advantage." Taehyung muttered under his breath not intended to provoke her, speaking loudly. How should I handle this narcissistic brat in the future? He pondered. Keenly looking into the notes, he was still having a hard time understanding the words.

"Read it by yourself. Even the mascara smudge on women's eyes is better than your writing." He shoved the notes to herself.

"Stupid fellow. Just tell that you don't know how to read." Jennie grabbed the notes from his hand and enunciated each word slowly and clearly. "No shouting because I hate loud noises and no jumping because I am a clean freak."

"I am not a monkey-like you to jump and shout everywhere. Continue with the next rule." For a minute, Jennie wanted to strangle him but held back. For unknown reasons, she is getting used to his sarcastic remarks now. In fact, she is starting to love them as if she has got a partner in tyrannizing.

"No peeking into my room and should not enter my room." Despite there is a single door separating both of their rooms, and although Jennie knew he would not take advantage of her at any cost, she still wanted to come transparent with him.

"Shouldn't it be my dialogue?" Taehyung scoffed. Jennie ignored his ironic comments and started with the next rule.

"You should always wear pants when I am around. Never take off your clothes in front of me."

"I am not a pervert like you." He winked at her remembering their first meeting.

"Hey! Stop that. Can't you forget that once and for all." Jennie angrily huffed and resumed with her next rule.

"Since we have a common bathroom, you should not bother when I am in the washroom, you should never use my body wash and other products."

"You are planting the ideas into my mind sweetheart," Taehyung remarked. Now that she said, he wanted to try her body wash.

"Don't call me sweetheart." Jennie angrily rebutted.

"When a girl says no, it means yes right? It's their simple theory." He asked crossing his legs.

"How so?" She asked still unclear with his theory.

"It's simple and they call it a girl trap to confuse men. When she says yes, it means no. When she says no, it means yes."

"Ohhh.I did not know this theory" Jennie was seriously considering the theory to use it on her next date when her brother sets it up again.

"Since it is acceptable, then it's yes." She added.
