The Payment [L&H S.1]

Chapter 14

While eating, only Taehyung and Yuju do the conversation, Sujeong on the other side was focus on her foods.

"Hey, you will double-kill the meat."

She was back on her senses because of Yuju. She stare at her foods. She didn't know that she pull out all her frustrations towards the meat.

"I am sorry." She said.

Taehyung just give her a smile. "Don't stress yourself, Sujeongie."

Yuju form a big smile on her face. "Awee. Taehyung is so sweet. You never do that to me before."

"Well, I've change alot." As he glance at his fiance who is just silent besides him. "And to inform you, Yuju. Expect that we will have a baby soon."

Sujeong blush because of it. While Yuju, her eyes grew in amusement. "Should I congratulate you both then. My! Can't wait for the baby shower."

After the breakfast, Yuju went home. While Taehyung decided to stay in the house. Sujeong on the other side, went to meet Jangjun.

"Where are you going?" Taehyung asked when he notice that Sujeong is all dressed. "I suggests that you should atleast rest."

"I am perfectly fine, Taehyung. And besides I am just meeting a friend."

"Is this friend of yours is a certain girl named Jeong Yein?"

The way Taehyung mention her name is like he really knows Yein.

Now that he mention Yein's name. Sujeong didn't hear anything from her friend since that engagement party.

"How did you know about her?"

"I know everything that connects you, Ryu Sujeong."

"Yes, I will be meeting her." She lied.

"Make sure that you will meet her and not Jangjun."

---

Taehyung first met Sujeong when he was 12 years old. During his father's camping along with the employees. Yes, he was starstruck at the girl. She look so beautiful on her frings. Although Sujeong knows him by his codename Handsome Tae, but he remember everything about them. He give her a nickname Bbangddeok because of her cute chubby cheeks back then.

He remember giving her a polaroid photo of them. Promising that they will marry each other. He wants to grow with her, but his father send him to America to study.

Yes, he asked his brothers to look after his Sujeong. And they did. They blocked every guys that try to pursue Sujeong. Most of them were send to the hospital. That's how cruel his brothers are. And that is the other reason why the guys avoided her like she's something.

Taehyung was in between happiness and pitying Sujeong. He was happy that Mr. Ryu used her as payment and felt pity for her. What if Mr. Ryu was in debt in different people? What will happen to Sujeong. And yes, he wasn't able to tell her about him as Handsome Tae. Why? He is a coward. He is afraid of the consequences!

He look at Sujeong as she walk away.

Sujeong didn't know that Taehyung has been following her since she went out.

She went to the Coffee Bay, her favorite coffee shop to meet up with Jangjun. She was surprise to see him there.

"I order your favorite drink already." Jangjun said.

As she sat on the opposite seat facing him.

"Thank you." And she sip her coffee. Jangjun has been looking at her.

"You look cute." He commented.

"Is that a compliment? Because cute are for dogs only." She chuckles.

"Then should I say you look gorgeous."

Then a satisfactory smile form in her lips. "Then so be it. Thank you again."

Jangjun stare at her. Examining her face.

"There is something change in you. You look more blooming." He commented.

'I didn't know that having a sex with someone will makes me look blooming.' She thought. "Because lately, Taehyung is taking care of me."

"So, how about our plan?" Jangjun asked.

"What plan are you two talking about?"

They both surprise to see Kim Taehyung himself behind them. His face is unreadable. If stare can kill, both Sujeong and Jangjun will be dead.

"What!?"

"Tae-taehyung I----" she wasn't able to finish her sentence when Taehyung cut her off.

He harshly force Sujeong to stand up, with his grip. Sujeong even whimper in slight pain.

"Are you trying to steal my fiance, Lee Jangjun? Aren't you satisfied that you had Yuju already?" And he glance at Sujeong. "Aren't you stupid enough to follow this guy!? For fuck sake! Yuju is pregnant with this man! And they're getting married next month!"

Sujeong was totally shock in what Taehyung had said. She didn't know that Jangjun and Yuju are getting married.

"T-taehyung, i-it hu-hurts."

"Well, it isn't as hurt as what I feel right now."

Feeling right now? She is totally confuse on Taehyung, really.

And he drag Sujeong out of the coffee shop and took her to his car.

"Jangjun is being friendly with me! That's all." She said glaring at him.

Her upper right arm is red because of his grip.

"Friendly? He is trying to seduce you! Don't you know that he is a thief? He likes to steal any girls he likes."

Sujeong was totally speechless. No, she shouldn't believe in Taehyung. Jangjun is a good guy afterall.

"You're lying. He's just trying to help me. That's all." She said.

She can't tell him what kind of help she was asking with Jangjun. Seems they haven't started yet their plan is working.

Taehyung glance at her before he starts the engine. "I'll take you to the hospital because of your arms."

"No. Don't bother. Just bring me back to my old house."

"And why so? To have a solo moment with Jangjun? And what kind of help are you asking with him? You can ask from me."

Sujeong diverted her gaze outside the car. Watching the tall buildings. She remain silent. Not minding to answer his question.

"Hey, I'm asking you!"

"Why are you mad at Jangjun? Are you perhaps jealous?"

"No, I'm not jealous." Taehyung said. "Besides you said that you'll be seeing Yein and not Jangjun."

"Is it that important to you who I will meet? I am just nothing but a payment to my father's debt and yet here you are acting so weird. What am I really to you, Taehyung? Because you're important to me."

That made Taehyung stop.
