Between Chances And Choices

Chapter 8

"What's all the fuss? Why are there so many people here?"

Jungkook wondered. He's walking to the university's main gate with Jimin.

"I don't know. Is there a celebrity?" Jimin roamed his eyes. "Is there a show filming somewhere?"

"He's here!" A girl yelled from the crowd.

They all turned to the two. Both of them halted, stunned.

"Jungkook, they say that your husband's in the car outside." One explained.

He doesn't know her but she spoke to him like they knew each other for a long time.

"He's picking you up?"

"I don't know."

He took out his phone from his pocket and saw multiple missed calls.

"Ah. My phone's on silent. Why's he here?"

They continued walking with numerous eyes following them.

"Will this be a regular occurrence?"

"I don't know."

Jungkook gulped. He could already spot a black, luxurious car in front of the gate. They're right. It was him. His secretary was waiting outside it. His gaze darted around. What should he do if he comes out? Taehyung is a natural born actor. He just knows what to do and how to act around people. He's great at acting. It's like he really loves him. As opposed to him who's always getting rattled whenever there are other eyes.

Don't come out. Don't come out. Don't come out.

The car door suddenly opened. Taehyung got out. He leaned on the side of the car with his arms crossed over his chest while looking at him with tantalizing eyes.

"He's dashing." Jimin whispered.

He's wearing a black pinstriped suit vest. His hair was swept up with his forehead exposed. He's using the tie he gave him as a wedding gift.

Isn't his clothes too flashy for work?

Closer and closer. Taehyung suddenly paced towards them, seeming impatient. The crowd squealed.

"Oh my gosh!"

Along with them was Jimin. The older stopped a few steps ahead of him as Jungkook awkwardly stood, avoiding his gaze.

"Why weren't you answering?" His voice was silky and deep.

"W-why?" He stuttered. "Why are you here?"

"I told you this morning that I'll pick you up, right?"

"Huh?" Jungkook finally eyed him directly.

"You didn't hear me again. I should remember to not say anything important when you're eating."

Jimin smiled. He's learning.

"But what did you say?"

Taehyung sighed before grabbing Jungkook's hand. People screamed in the background.

"It's grandma's birthday party."

"Oh."

"Let's go. We'll be late." He looked at his clothes. "Is that what you're wearing?"

"Obviously not. I'm not dressed properly." His gaze scanned his husband's attire.

"We'll stop somewhere to get you clothes."

Jungkook let himself be pulled.

"Ah. Jimin hyung." He reached his hand out to Jimin.

Taehyung tentatively stopped. "I'm sorry. We're in a bit of a hurry. Are you two going someplace?"
