|| ENGRAVED RINGS || Kim Taehyung

Chapter 39

Hani and Taehyung went for the mall. The atmosphere slightly downgraded after the meeting with you. Hani still had the many questions regard the guy you met, but masked herself with a carefree expression beside Taehyung. She didn't want him to feel uncomfortable, talking about a guy who talked liked that despite her boyfriend's presence. Taehyung was bothered, but not for the reason Hani thought.

"Tae," Hani, said pulling him from the cold stare.

"Hm?" Taehyung turned at her, eyes alive again.

"What dress?" Hani put the pink dress up to her chest, her eyes begging for attention.

"Are you helping that guy in picking a dress?" His brow lifted slightly as lines formed on his forehead.

"I wouldn't help him if it was for Seori," She picked another dress and put it up to her chest.

"What about this?" Inclined her head Hani flashed a smile.

"It looks good," Taehyung said with no real sincere.

"I like the this one better what do you think?" Hani held up the two dresses for Taehyung to choose.

"It's both pretty."

She tightened her lips, nodded light with an understanding expression. He seemed to have his thoughts another place though she couldn't pinpoint where.

Her disappointed expression awakes some senses, Taehyung took a step closer paying a little more attention to the dress she held in her hands. The dress in her left was a red wine scarlet, a tight one with straps. The other one was a long sleeved one with a little glitter.

"The white one," Taehyung said.

"I like the scarlet one" Hani teased. Taehyung stepped closer, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulled her in. His head placed at the incline of her shoulder and neck, his whisper carcasses her skin.

"The red is not your taste. It's my taste" his breath tickling, making her hair rose as a shy smile graced her lips.

"I like your taste," Hani whispered back.

"My taste isn't safe." Both Taehyung and Hani grinned, Hani put the dress back and pulled herself from Taehyung's hug, noticing the attention they draw from people.

"Fine I'll take the white one."

She took the white one and went up to the cashier. When the employer asked if it was for a present Hani nodded light, asking the employer to wrap it in nicely. Taehyung realised Hani wasn't buying it for herself, she wasn't the type to surprise herself with a wrapped gift.

"Park Hani-ssi, I thought you said you weren't helping that guy?" Taehyung took a step distanced himself from Hani. Hooking his hand on the pocket of his jeans he looked Hani up and down.

"It's not for Jungkook." Hani said shaking her head in denial. Lifting a brow Taehyung waited for a reasonable explanation.

"It's for Minji," Hani took the paper bag within the dress was wrapped nicely in a box.

"Minji?" Taehyung furrowed not sure of what this situation meant.

"We were out looking for present Minji, remember?"

"Minji as you Brother?"

"Who else?"

"So your brother has preference for dress?."

Hani then explained the whole story of how Jimin often played princess in role play when they were little. She was not sure if Jimin would find this as fun as her but the pleasure was worth it.

"Princess Jimin?"

"Princess Minji,"Hani corrected, her words brought upon his disbelieving smile, the boxsmile she'll never get tired of.

"Try it, he'll react to."

"He's not a kid, he wouldn't fall for it." Taehyung replied.

"Even today when I call Minji, he would instinctively turn back and glare at me for making him do so." Hani rolled her eyes. Reminisced of the picture of Jimin's harmless glare she didn't notice the gloomy eyes of Taehyung.

His expression hardened his eyes solemn. Looking back at the arm that was wrapped around his Taehyung let out a troubled breath.

"Hani, if one day...." His tone degrading.

"If I don't turn back when you call my name..."

His words felt as a warning, alerting their relation to soon come to an end. It frightened her, more than she let it show. She veiled a smile, eyes gliding to the floor avoiding his eyes.

"Don't joke about it" Hani begged.
