The Last Boy Scout

"Here's our room, babe." His voiced echoed off the high white ceilings. A massive crystal chandelier hung in the front foyer and two grand staircases lead up to the second landing. On the left was the dining hall and located on the right was the kitchen. Underneath the staircase was a large living area; complete with white leather seating and floor-to-ceiling bay windows, displaying the beautiful city of Osaka, Japan.

"What does babe mean?" Was all Jihae could mutter.

"Hmm? Oh, sorry Hae-ssi, it's like 'Jagiya' in English. It's the first English word Namjoon hyung taught me, haha,"

"That's cute," Jihae replied a little too quickly.

Taehyung dropped the luggage on the clear marble tiles and pressed his forehead against Jihae's. "Cheer up, Jagi." He gave a half smile. "Besides, you still owe me a kiss,"

Jihae wrapped her arms around him. "Alright, I'll try," she buried her face between his neck and his shoulder. "I'll save the kiss for later,"

"Do you like the place?"

Jihae stared at him blankly. "What do you mean 'do I like the place'. Tae-ssi when you said 'hotel' I thought it would be less... extra. Why are you like this, you didn't have to."

"Of course I have to!" He chuckled, putting an arm around her shoulder. "I'm Kim Taehyung, of course I have to."

"Were only here for a week though,"

"Yeah, and if we were here any longer I would've booked a penthouse,"

"Holy... why are you like this,"

"Isn't that why you agreed to go out with me?"

"What? No," Jihae hugged him tightly. "You don't have to spend lots of money on me if you think that's the only reason why I'm with you. I like you for you, not how much money you have."

Taehyung kissed the top of her head, smoothing out her long hair. "Really?"

"Yes, really, I'm not like that, Tae-ssi."

"Oh," was all he said. He remembered the girls he dated before he debuted and how they dumped him because he couldn't afford expensive things. Now that he could, money isn't the reason why he has a girlfriend. Aish, women are so confusing.

"Let's see what's upstairs," he offered, ruffling his hair and gracefully ascending the flight of stairs. Jihae followed behind him, admiring the golden railing on both sides of the marble steps.

Taehyung wandered off down the hall, opening doors and peering in closets.

"Hae-ssi guess what," he said eagerly.

"Hm? What is it? What happened?" She followed him into the first room on the right.

"Look at the huge balcony, what a great view,"

"It's beautiful," she admitted. Something caught her attention. She turned around and saw there were two bedrooms, almost identical and each with their own bathroom.

Thank goodness, she thought about what her friend would think.

They went sightseeing after.

The first thing they went to see was Osaka-jō and its beautiful gardens and granite walls.
