My Bodyguard Kim Taehyung ║k.th & k.js

17.

"Sorry to ruin your date night." Says Jisoo still with tears running down her cheeks non-stop.

"Baby, it's okay, we're here for you!" contradicts Jennie who holds her friends in her arms and hasn't let go since she walked through the door.

"I don't understand why he's angry. I only meant well!"

"Of course you only meant well. But I understand him too..."

"How do you understand him? Be on my side!"

"I'm on your side. Of course I am. But I'm just saying I understand that he doesn't want to take money from you. For one thing, you're partly responsible for him losing his job-"

More sobs from Jisoo.

"-He has nothing to do with you anymore-"

More sobs.

"-And men don't like it when they're worse off financially than their partners."

"I'm not his partner!"

"See, another reason why he won't take money from you. Why should he take money from a 'stranger'."

"But... But..."

"No buts"

Jisoo sticks out her lower lip before her eyes widen. At times like this, she looks very much like a puppy.

"Jisoo... everything I'm trying to explain here, there are reasons why he doesn't want to take your money."

"Yes, but I only mean well! I just want to help him!"

"You feel guilty. I understand that. That's good too. But if you want to help him and want him to forgive you-"

"That's not..."

"Sure... -If you want him to forgive you, have you ever tried a simple apology?"

"He's been blocking me everywhere."

"I don't mean over text, either."

"You mean... In person?"

Jennie nods.

"He doesn't want to see me."

"If you tell him your reasons and apologize honestly, he won't send you away."

"No more money?"

"No more money." Jisoo's friend nods responsibly.

The blanket Kai put over them as soon as they came through the door. He comes through the kitchen door with two cups in his hand and sets them down on the small table next to the two women.

"Thanks for the cocoa, darling!" Jennie winks at her boyfriend and he just laughs.

"Thanks Kai! You're the best!" Jisoo says, picking up her cup and taking a sip.

"You're a dream man. Handsome, always there, no drama, make hot cocoa.... I'll just marry you."

"Don't you dare!" Jennie laughs and starts tickling her friend.

Jisoo starts giggling and shrieking.

Kai takes the cup from Jisoo's hand before she can pour its contents over herself and his girlfriend.

"Jisoo, it would be an honor."

"Babe!" Jennie shrieks, jumps up and starts playfully hitting Kai. He runs away from his girlfriend. She follows, of course.

Jisoo is still sitting on her couch and can hardly contain her laughter.

"Jennie! You've been outvoted! Leave my husband alone!"

A chase begins. Everyone is the hunter and everyone is the hunted.

Through the whole apartment.

Back and forth, back and forth, into someone else's arms and out again.

It's good to laugh again after Jisoo has been busy crying for so long.

After a long chase, all three of them fall onto the couch laughing.

Jennie in her boyfriend's arms, Jisoo's hand in hers.

"So you want me to apologize in person?"

She nods.

"I don't know where he lives or how to find him. Like I said. He's been blocking me everywhere."

Jennie looks over her shoulder at her friend. "Kai, can you do something about that."

He thinks for a moment but nods. "Actually, I'm not allowed to give out any information, but I'll see what I can do. If anyone asks you. You didn't get anything from me."

They both nod.

"You're the best!" They both say at the same time and he just rolls his eyes with a grin.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Kai was really able to convey the information and so Jisoo finds himself in front of Taehyung's house.

She wrings her hands nervously in front of her. Why was she nervous? It's just Taehyung.

Hesitantly, she knocks on the door.

There is no doorbell.

After a short while, the door is opened and in front of her is not Taehyung as expected but a young girl.

Maybe 12 years old. Maybe 14 but not older.

"Hello?" She asks a little hesitantly. The young girl wasn't expecting a visit from someone dressed in such expensive clothes.

That's what her gaze says as it flits over Jisoo's clothes.

Jisoo smiles and opens her mouth to say something.

"Jina. Who is it?" Comes a voice from inside.

A short time later, familiar eyes stare at her.

"What are you doing here?"

"Taeyhung. Hi.. Are you free, I'd like to talk to you."
