How I Met Your Father / Taejin

♡7♡

Taehyung's POV-

"Taehyung? Is this true?"

Crap.

I knew jogging in the park wasn't a good idea.
I knew I shouldn't have listened to Hoseok when he said wearing the uniform was better because we didn't have to wash it. The office collects and dry cleans all our uniforms every weekend.
I should have just worn my tracksuits and did my laundry like normal people do.
Officer Min beat the hell out of us both when he found out and that was the end of it.

And I'm definitely going to taste that baton on my ass cheeks again if I mess my cover up.

What do I say to sound convincing?

And I can't keep quiet for too long. That'll only make me more suspicious.

Think, Tae! And quickly!

"That's just my...cover..Officer Kim.."

Why did I say that?

"A cover?"

"A pretend...act..name.."
My brain feels extra dumb right now.

"Act? Like a stage name?"

An idea lights up.
"That's right!"

"A stage name for what??"

"I was really broke. Don't judge me."

Seokjin steps back.
"Don't tell me you were something like...a...male stripper?"

I was gonna say part-time acting but that works too. He could ask if I appeared in any movies and that would be harder to explain. I'm so smart.

"Yyyyyy....es?"

Seokjin's eyes widens up but he nods.
"Surprising but I can understand. I've had my own share of that experience too."

"Wait..what?" I grab his arm and he yelps.

"Ouch, that hurts!" He cries out slapping my arm.

Everyone turns to us and the room goes silent. A lady at the back slides something behind her hiding it from me.

"Chill, everyone. He's not an officer. It was a costume. He was a male stripper."
Seokjin clears the confusion to the crowd, stretching out the stripper part more loudly than necessary.
He then turns to me again with a smug look on his face.

"Ahh! This is perfect." The er..bride to be claps her hand excitedly. She comes closer to me and with a smile so innocently,

"Give us a show then."

I stumble backwards, hitting the chairs in the process and one falls on my foot.

The pain doesn't even compare to the panic I feel inside.

"Yeah, Taehyung...why don't you?"
Seokjin asks with a grin.

I can't believe I thought I fell for him this morning. He's pure evil.
