🔞 Happily Ever After

8 - Shot Glass of Tears

Namratha's POV

My boyfriend and I were consoling Soo-Ah during her lunch break, not too far off from her office block. Taehyung, in full attorney mode, was a delightful sight to the eye. I fought an internal battle between being there for my boss's girlfriend and eyeing my boyfriend while he stood there looking like he'd walked off a K-drama set.

I'd spent the last five minutes focusing on the conversation between the two friends. I understand Korean fluently, so I've had no issues following the conversation, I can also read Korean quite fluently - it was speaking that got me down.

"... So, oppa, you mean to say- " But I hastily placed an index finger over Soo-Ah's lips, shaking my head in a silent warning for her to stop talking.

Soo-Ah's eyes followed mine to the hedges around us, and nodded at me silently, an understanding passing between us. By now, she had also noticed that there were hoards of paparazzi everywhere. Many of whom were tailing her, their prying eyes watching her closely for more gossip. One of the younger female reporters that I'd spied, had been taking notes in a tiny notebook. Another was recording events in an audio recording device, surely taking minute by minute note of whatever they saw, for hem to cook up more of their lives for the starved houswives of the world to feast on!

This entire situation was becoming far too ridiculous! Jungkook isn't as famous as a K-pop idol! He's just an ordinary artist!

And yet, here we were!

Perhaps, for a bit more drama, we should just dial Scotland Yard as well!

"We'll show you everything this evening. For now, I think it's safer if you go back to your office, Sue. We'll do what we can on our end and speak to Jungkook as well... I think Tae was more worried about you, because- " It was Tae's turn to place a finger over my lips, stopping me from alerting Soo-Ah about the murder of paparazzi crows who were watching us like prey.

The smell of his perfume had flooded my senses, and I felt my knees weaken. He just have noticed the effect he'd had on me, because I noticed a dark look pass over his eyes with a light chuckle.

Fuck... He's enjoying doing this to me, isn't it?!

"Nammy, shhh... We'll talk this evening. All of us, together." Tae advised, looking more serious now.

And yet, I felt my insides melt at how sexy he looked in this suit. He was dressed like the 11th Doctor ... I wanted to - no Namratha! I chided myself. But of course my boyfriend would want to flirt by dressing up as Matt Smith's 11th Doctor!

I'll get him! I know just who to dress like for him. I thought, grinning to myself.

But first, we need to help Jungkook and Soo-Ah resolve their misunderstanding!

I could see the relief flooding through Soo-Ah, as whatever Taehyung and I had just explained to her, sank in. But, I also noticed that Soo-Ah looked a little nervous, probably because she's been mad at Jungkook without the guy actually understanding why she had been ignoring him all day.

We were going to be meeting at the guys' old rendezvous place in Tae's district. He lives in Pontcanna and our meeting point wouldn't be too far away from his home.

I hope we can implement our solution soon. All I really want is to spend time with my Taehyung.

Taehyung's POV

For as long as I have known Jungkook; which was longer than I've known most of the other people in my life; he has never let anything, nor anyone ever make him cry. Especially, not a woman.
