chapter 23

"thank you so much for staying over" Mr Jeon thanked Taehyung and Jisoo for accepting his request.

"We are honoured Mr Jeon" Jisoo replies. They all have settled down for lunch right now.

"Some arrangements needs to be taken care of, Jungkook you should help with it" Mr Jeon told Jungkook who was busy sulking over something.

Jisoo was sitting beside Taehyung, fearing the next second what might happen.

"Ask someone else Dad" Jungkook whines. Mr Jeon sighs at his denial of helping. Mrs Jeon was nowhere near this conversation. She was in her own world of thoughts.

"Do you mind if I help?" Taehyung asks. Mr Jeon was surprised but also happy. "How can I make my guests work?" Mr Jeon shakes his head in a way saying no.

"If you could let me in your family function,  that means I'm like family too" Taehyung says then he moves his eyes to Mrs Jeon, "right Mrs Jeon?" She was startled hearing his question directed towards her. Looking at him in a baffled manner she sutters to speak.

"Of course you are! I was hesitating to say it but you saying this made me feel so light right now" Mr Jeon says in relief. "I'm just worried about the party spot, I haven't checked the arrangements. If someone stays there till the evening to check things up it would be very helpful" He adds.

"I'll go after lunch" Taehyung told. Mrs Jeon looks at Taehyung in surprise and doubts. Why is he still being polite to her family even after she told him to leave? Why is he acting like he is her family member? She fears of being exposed.

After the lunch, Jisoo followed Taehyung in the guest room. He was getting ready to go to the venue. "Taehyung what was the need to help? Heck what's the need of staying here!?" Jisoo was really confused. He was ready to let go off the past and starts a new life. But why is he back to square one?

"I think you would have also accepted if he said to it you. Didn't you saw how he talked with us?" Taehyung buttons the last button of the shirt. "Still Tae! You're not me, you're you. You could have said no.." Jisoo didn't wanted to stay in this awkward place.

Taehyung saw how her face goes smaller when she is upset or stressed. Right now she's stressed.

His one finger went under her chin, lifting it up he asks, "don't you trust me? I told right I'll not focus on them anymore. My focus is on you, all eyes on you" he says softly looking into her eyes. The tone of affection sounding very visible.

She pursue her lips grumbling very low, "i don't want you to be hurt" he smiles hearing why she is stressed. "No worries I won't be hurt anymore" he guess he won't be hurt but who knows future?

"Now give me a smile while I leave" he commands to the adorable girl infront of him. She gave a smallest smile. Taehyung wasn't satisfied with it, "bigger" he told. She tried to smile a little big this time, "more bigger" he again says. This continues for sometime untill she was annoyed and hits his chest softly.

"Yaaah! Why are you troubling me!" Jisoo yells. Taehyung smiles liking the new banter of them. He likes to tease her, annoy her.

"Okay I'll stop for now" he says walking out. "You stay here, no need to go with me alright?" He warns her already. He doesn't want her to work, she should take rest.

"But-" she tries to defy so Taehyung gave a stern look. It shushed her for now. "Fine!" She says.

As Taehyung left Jisoo was alone in the mansion with the Jeons.

Jungkook found Jisoo in her room, going through her phone. He knocks on her door, Jisoo looks at the door and saw Jungkook. She told him to come inside.

"I was going to look for you, have a seat" Jisoo told very politely. "Me? Why?" Jungkook asks. "Jungkook you know right my family is not here? Taehyung and I our families are in Gwaunju so we are going back to there." Jungkook nods although he doesn't want her to leave.

"And please don't mind Tae. He is not mean but he is just little quiet as a person" Jisoo tries to reason Taehyung's behaviour. Jungkook scoofs inside. A pang of jealousy hits his chest. She calls him "tae".
Why a nickname to business partner?

"You must be close to him?" Jungkook spoke out of jealousy. "Yes, we grew up together" Jisoo cut it short. Jungkook isn't someone enough close to her to know her and his relationship status.

Jungkook felt a sense of relief because he thought he is just a best friend she grew up with. Girls always friendzone guys who grew up with them.

"That's great!" He spoke enthusiastically. "Jisoo do you need any help? I mean any help for your shopping in the party? Do you mind if I buy something for you?" Jungkook was so excited to send her a dress. He would be so proud if she wore it tonight.

"No no please I wouldn't want this. You should rather help your father, he has so many works to do" she reminds him to help his father.

Jungkook sighs. "Okay okay I will but really tell me will you take any gift I'll send to you?" Jisoo felt she is dealing with a child when she talks with Jungkook.

She finds him cute but he is so stubborn sometimes.

"Okay I'll accept your gift, now go and help your father" Jisoo agrees making him the happiest.

The party time is near now. Taehyung finally returns and went to Jisoo's room. He found her sleeping soundly. She must be bored and fallen asleep.

He knelt down beside her and gazes at her beautiful, perfect face. "How did I get so lucky?" he often thinks what did he even do to get her? Why is she still staying for him?

He leans down close to her face and pecks her close eyelids and stays in same position for some moment. He cherish it very much how can he explain it to her? Which way to show her his love he doesn't understand.
His pov:

She suddenly opens her eyes to see Taehyung leant so close to her face. Startled up she managed to process the surprise. She was about to get up but his half body was on her. And if she gets up their lips might brushed.

But before she could realise she tried to get up to sit. It made her lips having contact with his nose for a few millisecond.

Her cheeks started burning, it went red. Taehyung sat to his place instead of leaning anymore. The atmosphere went too hot to handle.

To cut the tension between them he showed the bag, "wear this for the party" giving the bag to her. He quickly went out of the room.

Jisoo holds her chest feeling her fast heartbeat, "this man will kill me someday!"
