The Betrayal Chronicals.

06

Ria and Taehyung came inside her parent's house. Apparently her sister Ana had a guy coming over to introduce. They were planning to get married.

It was so sudden, like she had told her she had just started seeing this guy a month back and now they were suddenly planning to get married. She said he was rich and famous but she wanted to drop the bomb by presenting him himself.

They talked for a bit before Ana came again and brought Jungkook. Ria felt uneasy, so it was the tennis player.

She shouldn't have felt a flutter in her heart but she did feel envy of her sister. Jungkook seemed to be an interesting man, someone you would have a passionate life with.

With Taehyung she had a comfortable and stable life. But maybe now she knew what she wanted. She wanted some spice in her life.

Maybe that was what she had been struggling to feel with Taehyung. He was a nice man who was whipped for her but she wanted someone who would keep her on edge all the time.

Taehyung noticed Ria staring at Jungkook and then the way Jungkook looked at her with familiarity, and as if he was amused to be around her.

He looked at Ria again and she looked away from Jungkook.

"Yeah he is the same person I watch online on sports channel, he must have clicked your mind?" He whispered to her. Taehyung loved lawn tennis and he had watched Jungkook too but Ria wasn't into all that.

"Yeah." She nervously smiled and nodded.

"Did I fascinate you now young lady? I know I look better in real life."  Jungkook winked holding her hand and kissing it and Ria's breath hitched.

"Don't know about her but your matches do fascinate me alot. I am a tennis lover myself. Used to play for my school." Taehyung interrupted. He didn't seem to mind the kiss that much, he shrugged it off as a playful gesture.

"Oh that's cool, I would love to play with you some day. Infact on a second thought how about you come to my house and we play tennis. Bring your wife too. We will all have a great time right Ana?" Jungkook asked putting his arm around Ana.

"Oh you are already making plans. Atleast get to know my family first." Ana chuckled."Jungkook is very friendly, that's how we got together and decided to marry that soon." Ana started talking but Jungkook seemed to just smile at Ria. He didn't care about Ana.

They all talked and Ria was quiet most of the time and Taehyung didn't find it off, she was reserve most of the time. She barely spoke freely with him. But Jungkook seemed to talk more with Ria, trying to know her better even though he seemed to know alot about her already.

Ana was head over heels in love with Jungkook and it could be seen in her eyes but Jungkook? She couldn't make it out, because he was just looking at her even though he was talking to others, his eyes would linger on her.

Ria sat at bench as she was watched her husband and Jungkook play tennis. Initially Taehyung wasn't playing that nice compared to Jungkook but then as he warmed up, he was giving him a nice play.

But it seemed like Jungkook was intentionally losing, he was distracted, by Ria, Ana was sitting there and rooting for him but she was an afterthought right now.

"Losing quite much I see? Are you going easy or I am a god gifted?" Taehyung asked panting as he walked to his wife and took the bottle from her.

"Oh sure you are." Jungkook chuckled looking at Ria. Ria looked away and smiled shortly at her husband.

"What the hell Jungkook? I wanted you to win. You know Taehyung oppa is actually a perfectionist and no one can beat him in anything. I really wanted something to tease him for life." Ana complained.

"Oh love don't worry, I will win over him soon and I will crush him." Jungkook chuckled gave a small kiss to Ana looking at Taehyung who raised his brows.

"To be honest I don't care about losing, I got one person I really wanted in life and Ria is my victory, as long as she is here, I can take all the loses." Taehyung kissed Ria and Jungkook's smile dropped, he didn't like how Taehyung could touch Ria all the time. She was his wife, she should have been his wife instead.

"Are they this lovey dovey all the time?" Jungkook asked Ana as he watched them talk now, Taehyung was looking at his wife with the eyes like he only had them for her.

"Oh Taehyung oppa? He is the biggest romantic. He really set the bar for all the girls in our family high. He says, he wins in all the aspect of his life all the time but he loses only to Ria." Ana spoke and Jungkook scoffed.

"Such men usually have big secrets, they play all nice at front and then later you find out that they were hiding horrible stuff all this time." Jungkook said.

"Taehyung oppa? No. But one time he did almost beat the shit out of Ria's unrequited lover, because he was sending some inappropriate messages to her. I saw it and he told me to keep it a secret, he didn't want Ria to worry. And then he said that guy will never bother Ria again, and that he had asked him to leave the city and we actually never heard from him again until one day I heard he had overdosed and died. Taehyung oppa is a nice man, he hasn't done anything horrible. He is a calm and composed man, he doesn't lose it that easily until it comes to any malice to Ria" Ana spoke unknowingly and Jungkook was amused and looked at Ana.

"Pretty convenient if you ask me," Jungkook said.

"Look at him, they both make a nice pair don't they? I want us to be like them." Ana smiled turning his face to her then.

"Oh we would make an even better couple." He smiled thinking about himself and Ria in one frame.
