Venomous Devotion 》TK

Chapter - 32

After finishing the last wish here with closed eyes, Jungkook looked over to see Taehyung still having his eyes close. He watched the serene scene intently, finding Taehyung incredibly pure and peaceful. Who would believe that this man had committed murder several times, he thought with a long sigh, glancing back at Taehyung. With graceful completion, they finished the wishes together and prepared to leave.

As they wandered around for a while, Taehyung and Jungkook were about to exit the place when ajumma approached to bid them farewell. Before they left, she handed Jungkook a fragrant bottle of red perfume and said,

--" Brides deserve a gift! Since I couldn’t give this at the wedding, take it now. Use it well, dear.

She patted Jungkook’s head with a gentle smile.

After bidding her farewell, Taehyung and Jungkook descended the stairs. As they began to descend, Jungkook attempted to go down on his own, but Taehyung scolded him, saying,

--" Why are you rushing down this uneven stairs? You’ll end up hurting yourself. Stairs like these are risky.

With that, he lifted Jungkook in his arms and started walking. Jungkook, pouting, looked straight ahead. He didn’t like climbing up these steps, but running down them was fun! But this arrogant man wasn’t letting him enjoy it – what a stubborn guy.

Noticing Jungkook’s expression, Taehyung chuckled as he walked, saying,

--" You know, you're starting to look like a little dried fish, getting skinnier by the day. Starting today, we need to increase your meals! If you get any thinner, you'll fall sick.

--" No, no, no! If I eat any more, I’ll end up as chubby as Bo-reum aunty. Then I’ll have to be admitted to the hospital for the whole year.

Jungkook said, pouting.

--" Who told you that eating a lot makes you fat?

Taehyung asked, raising an eyebrow.

--" Then how else does it happen? It’s from eating.

Jungkook replied, looking down.

--" Eating makes you strong, not sick. And who gave you this logic about getting fat?

--" Jisoo noona said it.

--" Your sister lied to you! She says that because she doesn’t like eating. And who is this Bo-reum aunty?

Taehyung asked with a smirk. Jungkook then replied, making a face.

--" My mom's friend who lives in the building next to ours. She’s really chubby, and I don’t like her at all.

--" Why?

--" Because she always tortures me to eat! Whenever she comes over, she tells my mom to make me eat more and takes all my chocolates whenever she’s in my room. And then she says, ‘Kookie baby, don’t eat these, you’ll get cavities.’

Jungkook complained, pulling a face.

Seeing Jungkook’s expressions, Taehyung stopped walking and burst into laughter, his body shaking with amusement. Jungkook also shook as Taehyung laughed, watching him in awe. This man rarely laughed like this. When Taehyung finally calmed down, he resumed walking but stopped suddenly, looking back at Jungkook with a frown.

--" Did this Bo-reum aunty call you baby?

Taehyung asked through gritted teeth.

Jungkook slowly nodded, saying, “Yes…”

--" Next time you see her, tell her not to call you that. I’ll tell her myself if needed.

Taehyung declared firmly, walking straight ahead.
