SWEETHEART

Chapter 18

HI

Next day was sunday, taehyung was humming songs, sitting beside ye-jin. He decided to spend time with his mother in law while admiring the serene garden view in front of him.

"Eomeonim, you know he's again at work. And it's sunday! " Taehyung complained as if ye-jin could listen to him. Well according to hyun-bin she does.

"He didn't even took me to a date today." He unknowingly pouted.

"Let him come back, I won't let him touch me." He giggled as if having a secret girl to girl talk with his mother in law.

"Umm, but he's working hard for us only... I should be understanding...eomeonim.. what's his favorite dessert? " He asked all of a sudden his cute anger gone out of the window.

"Carrot cake. " Hyun bin replied. Taehyung looked at the door where hyun bin stood smiling softly at him.

Taehyung blushed thinking his father in law heard everything.

"Tae dear, don't worry. I heard only the last part. You and your eomeonim's secret is safe." Hyun bin chuckled.

Both kangmin and wooyoung had already booked taehyung's evening. They wanted to watch movie, do shopping and who's taehyung to deny. He would love to spend time with his friends anyway.

Jeongguk went to office this morning because of some meetings. Taehyung called him after contemplating a little, to call or not, he doesn't want to disturb his husband in a meeting but decided to go with it.

A few rings later Jeongguk picked up his call.

"Yes? "

Taehyung frowned at the formal tone of the elder. He was expecting a "sweetheart" in his husband's sexy voice.

After clearing his throat taehyung spoke, "I'm going out with minnie and wonie."

"Okay."

Few more lines added to his forehead and taehyung's smile completely vanished. What's with this tone? Why's elder talking to him this way? It's a first. But he continued anyway.

"I'll be little late. I've already told noonas to prepare the meal accordingly-

"Anything else? I thought it's important!" Jeongguk's voice cut him in between. He sounded angry. But what did taehyung do?

"Um n-no sorry" Taehyung gulped the lump unconsciously formed inside his throat when the call suddenly got cut. Taehyung was just informing him.

There was no need to be harsh. Well maybe Jeongguk was not rude, taehyung disturbed him in between his meeting. He's supposed to get angry. Right?..

"Right" Taehyung replied to his sub conscious mind.

"Yeah, he's too busy. Perhaps. Foundation day party is around the corner. Yes"

Taehyung murmured to himself. But he couldn't help being sad. Last night, their relationship took a step forward and today this?.He wanted to cry. Jeongguk never talked to him this way. Ever.

Then a thought striked him all of a sudden.

"He's burdening himself with work loads too much. Otherwise there's no way my hyung responds this way. I wonder if he's had his lunch?."

Jeongguk rubbed his forehead in frustration. It's last minute and the new deal the company was supposed to make, might not happen.

Employees faced his warth after they repeated their presentation in front of him which they will present in front of the Japanese company CEO.

"It's terrible." Jeongguk's voice boomed inside the conference room.
