The Devils sweetheart || Taennie Adaptation [Book 1]

Chapter 72 - Bubble butt

Clutching the paper bag as if she was holding her dear life on to it, Jennie dashed away from the shopping emporium to get away from his sight.

"You mad girl, why do you always lose rationality in his presence?" She huffed, pretending to look calm when she saw that he was following behind her.

Trailing behind her, his towering long legs which could stretch over long hauls, Taehyung spotted her in no time. Everywhere they were heading, both garnered attention from the public, but it didn't sink into their brains, for both were busy playing hide and seek game. The moment his eyes seized her, Taehyung swiftly closed the distance and grasped her hand.

Taehyung chuckled seeing her running away like a scared cat after kicking his leg. "Slow down. Why are you rushing?"

"Because the voice in my head is telling me to run away from you." Pushing his hand away, Jennie snapped at him blatantly, expecting to hurt his ego and make him angry, but her understandings always contradict when it comes to him.

"You are the first woman to ignore me." He said, squeezing her cheeks with a mirth dancing in his eyes. Countless letters, posts, he gets from many women every day which he rejects without even seeing them. But the only woman he is chasing always tries to escape away from him.

"So, Mr. Adonis is finally admitting that he is a playboy?" Jennie scoffed. I shouldn't have believed Leah's words when she said he doesn't heed to any girl.

"I am not a playboy sweetheart. But I know how to play with you." He said with a wink, unable to resist the urge to mess with her a little.

Her corner of the mouth twitched in vexation with his sarcastic comments.

'Leave it, Jennie. He is a pain in the arse. His shamelessness has no shame at all. Even if you kick him away, he will somehow find a way to slink back into your life with his witty teasing.'

Ignoring him, Jennie began walking towards the exit, but with the bustling crowd, she did not notice a woman was rushing towards her direction. Before she could avoid the hurrying woman, Jennie was shoved away, and right when her body was about to knock on to the ground fully, she was seized by a pair of hands.

"Are you okay?" Taehyung's reflexes were faster than hers, he caught her waist and wielded her in no time.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Taehyung worriedly asked when she is not answering back and in a haste, he thought that she might have got hurt when that woman roughly pushed her. If not for his instantly catching her, Jennie would have been knocked down by that woman.

"I_I am fine." She felt uneasy all over and her heart was going into upheaval whenever he shows little care. Even though it sounded bizarre to assume such a thing, Jennie suddenly felt his touch was very familiar, the one close touch she had with a stranger at the cliff when she was in a near-death accident five years ago. Even though she sensed this rare feeling in their earlier encounters, Jennie still rebuffed the theory.

"Can you release me?" She asked. Nodding his head, Taehyung immediately released her and brought her to stand.

"She did not even confess to her mistake right?" In a rage, Taehyung was about to leave and reprimand that woman, but his hand was swiftly caught away by Jennie.

"Let me go." He said, trying to release Jennie's grip.

"It's ok. I am fine." She smiled trying to bring him back. Why is he getting vexed up when I am the one who got hurt? Jennie pondered.

"That bubble b.u.t.t needs a small lesson," Taehyung said.

Jennie immediately giggled at the nickname he used. Indeed that woman's b.u.t.t is a little rounded. But did he has to go to that extent and openly call her with such a nutty name? Thank God, she did not listen. Shaking her head, Jennie looked up and her eyes unconsciously landed on the same woman who was glaring daggers at them.
