Long Odds-Vhope

Chapter 7

The following day Taehyung was woken up by a maid informing him that his mother asked him to meet her for the breakfast

"What did I do now?" Taehyung thinks for himself and then, when he was about to step out of the bed, his gaze falls on his side table where Hoseok's gift was kept along with his sketch book with an incomplete sketch in it, slowly his eyes widen. He totally got carried away with his sketching that he forgot to call the elder and thank him

"could it be that they cancelled the arrangement and that's why mother is calling me?" involuntarily Taehyung's eyes start welling up with tears, but he couldn't really tell if it was really because he was scared of his mother or was it because of some tall male who looks dashing hot in black.

He wipes away one tear that finally made its way down his cheek and goes to the washroom to get ready

Once he was done he makes his way towards the dining room where he finds his mother sitting at the far end of the long table, he bows to her and takes the seat opposite to her, he looks around to atleast find his Hyung who could save him if things went downhill but to his dismay, his hyung was nowhere to be seen and his heart drops

Their breakfast was served and they were in the middle of it when his mother clears her throat

"Hoseok's sister called me in the morning" Taehyung stiffens at that and he was sure that they did really cancelled it and he was regretting getting pissed off at Hoseok "he could have given me a chance to explain myself" Taehyung thinks to himself but his train of thought were broken when his mother clears her throat again and glares at him.

"How many times have I told you to stop day dreaming when I am talking something important, atleast be of some use" his mother says anger gripped in each and every word and Taehyung felt like crying then and there. What did he do that was so wrong that his mother hated him to the core, he swallows the lump in his throat

"s-sorry mother" comes his croaked voice which his mother either didn't hear or pretended to not hear

"As I was saying, she wants you and Hoseok to go ring shopping, in order to save time, since we don't have much time" his mother says, as if tired of repeating herself

Taehyung looks up at her with a shocked expression which he covers up in an instant

"y-yes mother" Taehyung replies

With a nod his mother briskly walks out of the dining room, leaving Taehyung alone in that big room

"He didn't cancel it" Taehyung finds himself smiling and he bolts out of the dining room and into his room, he grabs his phone from his bed table and opens the messaging app

**********************************************************************************************

Here Hoseok was in his office already tired of his noona, because since the time he had woken up, she had been forcing him to go ring shopping with Taehyung which he personally thought was not a good idea, coz the younger was angry with him for some unknown reason. Atleast that's what he was able to make out from how the younger behaved last day. But Hoseok wasn't someone who would avoid anything that came his way and his pestering noona was irritating him to the point that he ended up agreeing, moreover, deep down inside he was sure that the younger won't agree to it.

"Tired already?" he hears his hyung, who just entered the cabin asks

"It's noona" Hoseok replies, taking off his coat to hang it on his chair.

"What was it today?" Yoongi asks settling himself on the couch

"Ring shopping" Hoseok replies while he was shuffling through some files
