His Ultimate Obsession

18.Whispers on the Wind

Monday morning at the office buzzed with its usual energy, but there was an extra spark in the air. Stella and Ragini met by the coffee machine, both looking a little worse for wear after the weekend.

Ragini, still feeling the effects of the karaoke party, greeted her friend with a grin. "Morning, Stell! Did we really turn into rock stars on Friday?"

Stella, looking equally disheveled but with a glint in her eye, replied, "Oh, we didn't just become rock stars. We practically invented a new genre. Remember that disco ball dance?"

Ragini laughed, holding her head. "I think my brain is still trying to recover from that. And did I really try to do the moonwalk? Ugh, I'm embarrassed just thinking about it."

Stella nudged her playfully. "Hey, you were awesome! Besides, Taehyung looked like he was about to join in with your moonwalk moves. I think he secretly enjoyed it."

Ragini raised an eyebrow. "Taehyung? I'm surprised he didn't make a run for it. I might've made him rethink our karaoke nights."

Stella grinned. "Oh, he was fine. And speaking of fun, guess who's planning something for later?"

Ragini pulled out her phone, glancing at a new message. Her face lit up. "Looks like there's an exciting plan ahead. Guess I've got something to look forward to."

Stella's eyes widened with playful curiosity. "Ooh, I'm intrigued! Spill the beans, babe. What's the plan?"

Ragini laughed, shaking her head. "You'll just have to wait and see. But first, we've got to survive this Monday. Coffee's calling our names."

Stella clinked her coffee cup against Ragini's. "Cheers to that! Let's tackle this day, and who knows? Maybe we'll have another adventure soon."

With that, they headed to their desks, both ready to dive into the workday while still buzzing from their weekend escapades.

As they sat together during lunch, Stella looked over at Ragini with a teasing smile. "So, babe, what did you get up to over the weekend?" she asked, nudging her lightly.

Ragini paused for a moment, stirring her food. "Oh, nothing much," she said casually, trying to play it cool. "Just caught up on some sleep, did a bit of cleaning. You know, the usual boring stuff."

Stella raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying it. "Really? That's it? No wild nights or secret rendezvous?"

Ragini let out a nervous laugh, quickly shaking her head. "Nope, nothing like that. Just me, my bed, and some Netflix." She hoped Stella wouldn't pry any further, keeping the part about Jungkook staying over well-hidden behind her vague excuse.

Stella squinted at Ragini suspiciously, leaning in with a smirk. "You sure? I mean, you're glowing, babe. You don't just get that from Netflix and chill... unless it was the 'chill' part?"

Ragini felt her face heat up and quickly waved her hand dismissively. "Oh my God, stop it! No chill, I swear. Just me and a bucket of ice cream."

Stella giggled, clearly enjoying Ragini's awkwardness. "Mm-hmm, sure. Keep your secrets, but I'll get it out of you eventually."

Ragini rolled her eyes, laughing nervously. "Yeah, yeah. You're not getting anything, trust me."

"Bet," Stella replied, grinning mischievously before turning back to her food, leaving Ragini quietly relieved that she hadn't pressed any further... for now.

The weekdays flew by quickly as Stella and Ragini kept each other entertained with their playful banter. During work hours, they found constant reasons to tease each other. Stella would joke about Ragini's "moonwalk" mishaps from the karaoke night, while Ragini would retort with funny comments about Stella's attempts to keep a straight face during their impromptu dance-offs. Their laughter and light-hearted jabs made the workdays pass in a blur of camaraderie and fun, keeping the office atmosphere lively and bright.
