Long Odds-Vhope

Chapter 8

Once Hoseok made that comment, the car became silent with only the faint sound of the air conditioner and the driver steering the wheel or changing the gear along with faint sounds from the traffic can be heard.

Taehyung would steal one or two glances of the elder every now and then and that one question which popped up in his mind when they first met would knock on his head

"why wont he smile?"

He really wanted to see the elder's smile because he had a doubt that the elder sports a cute dimple near his lip, which he has seen when he would press his lips together into a firm line, but Taehyung wanted to see those dimples when the elder smiles...how it looked then and what kind of smile does this elder has

These questions has been bugging him since the time they had met. During his time of thoughts he didn't realize that the car has come to a halt and it is only when the elder disappears from his view to step out of the car and Hoseok holds the door open for him and that's when Taehyung moves from his place and steps out only to find himself in front of Tiffany and co.

And he just prays that he won't embarrass himself and Hoseok cause as his mother says, he was basically a country boy who has never been to such high end places...yes he learned table etiquette from his grandparents and his elder brother, but his brother was busy saving their dooming company that he did really had any time to take him out for shopping. Yes he has a credit card which his mother gave him so that he can show off his supposed wealth to the Jungs.

Taehyung was looking at the shop when a hand falls at the small of his back and he hears the elder say "come Taehyung"

He nods towards the elder and if he thought that by then the elders hand would be gone, then he was happily wrong because the elder starts walking, taking him along

As soon as they enter, a woman dressed in black pencil skirt, a white shirt and black coat comes to them

"hello sir, how may I help you?" comes that women sweet voice

"Hello I am Jung Hoseok, this is my fiancé Kim Taehyung, we are looking for engagement rings" Hoseok replies in a tone which sounded a lot more professional to Taehyung

"so he does talks to me differently" Taehyung feels something at the pit off his stomach

It was like the lady realized who they were because in an instant they were taken to a vip lounge and within seconds the manager comes rushing in

"hello Mr.Jung, that was our new staff, I am so sorry for the trouble" comes the manager's hasty apology

"its ok Mr.Kang, I believe that things are ready as it was asked of you?" Hoseok asks without any emotion and Taehyung could notice that the elder was clearly being scary right now, but surprisingly it didn't really scare Taehyung

"o-ofcourse sir" with that stuttering reply...rows of staffs come in holding onto a number of velvet boxes which were being laid down in front of them, filled with over the top expensive bands of platinum and gold, all of them studded with diamonds

"sir, these are our new designs, I hope that your fiancé will like these" Taehyung looks up from the rings to look at the manager who was lowkey sweating in that air conditioned room and it was quite confusing for him

"was his hyung that scary?"

He looks at Hoseok, who was looking at the rings without much interest, as if he has seen a lot more better things in life

Taehyung scans the rows and rows of shining metals when he hears his hyung say

"do you find something you like Taehyung?"
