-💔-

Taehyung has been quite busy for the last few days. He has been working, showing up at the start up everyday, giving it all his best. Socializing with the clients, giving his best marketing opinions and making sure everyone is satisfied. He has been in London for about three days now but he has been working nonstop. Thankfully Sehoon lets him go on a few breaks here and there but that's it. There's also Sehoon being flirtatious that he has to go through.

It's awkward for him because he doesn't even feel a drop of what Sehoon feels for him. So he just had to laugh it off awkwardly or excuse himself to work. Sometimes he feels a little guilty for even entertaining him because he is married but the guilt quickly vanishes when he realizes his marriage is different from normal marriages. Jeongguk is probably out in London going through all types of foreign people. He barely had the time to even talk to him properly ever since they came here.

They only eat dinner together and sometimes not even when Taehyung is late. He encourages Jeongguk to go out everyday and do sightseeing. Which Jeongguk did the first two days but today he was at the hotel room all day, on his laptop doing some of his own work. Jeongguk has also been strange towards him. Taehyung cannot pinpoint what's the matter with him because he just acts weird around him.

He doesn't come close to him, he keeps his distance as if Taehyung is some type of plague he is trying to avoid. He doesn't even talk to him properly and Taehyung hates it. He thought they made some progress so why does it feel like they are back to square one. He won't let them continue like this.

Finally, after working hard for three continuous days, Taehyung was finally done. They are here for four more days and it's all free. Taehyung doesn't have to work, he can do whatever he wants now. What he actually came all the way from Korea here for.

"Jeongguk!! you need to get ready!!" Taehyung shook Jeongguk's shoulder, who was on the couch, with his laptop on his lap working again and has been like this ever since they came back from breakfast two hours ago.

"Why? don't you have work?" Jeongguk asks him and Taehyung shakes his head.

"Nope, I am done with work. I can finally spend my time having fun and going out. But today, we are meeting my university friends for lunch. I told you about that so get ready."

"Do I have to go?" The same stern answer, that Taehyung hasn't been liking.

"Yes, Jeongguk. You are the man I married and they want to meet him. If you don't come it would look suspicious. I cherish them a lot and I don't want them to know what really is going on because they won't want that for me."

"Just tell them the truth,who cares Taehyung." Jeongguk's response is so nonchalant, it genuinely makes Taehyung mad.

"Jeongguk, why are you avoiding me? what is going on in that little head of yours now?" Taehyung asked him and Jeongguk stopped typing on his keyboard. Avoiding eye contact with the man.

"I am not avoiding you. I just don't want to have lunch with people who I don't know and who will definitely doubt our relationship because we don't know each other." Jeongguk lets him know and Taehyung thinks it makes sense.

"You don't have to worry, I'll handle them and their questions. All you have to do is attend and be a good husband, that's it. Please?" Taehyung pouts, making Jeongguk look at him with his puppy dog eyes. The guy finally gives in, sighing.

"Fine but don't expect me to talk much. I am not in the mood for that. When do we have to leave?"

"In an hour. I'm going to take a shower and start getting ready. You do the same. OK, thank you so much." Taehyung kissed his cheeks without thinking too much about it and got off the sofa to run to his bedroom. Leaving a very confused and slightly blushing Jeongguk behind.
