"Sir, master has asked both of you to come to the ground floor. The majority of guests are here."

"We'll be there.", Jeongguk confirms, nodding at the female. "Thank you for informing us."

"I'm just doing my job, sir. Congratulations, by the way.", the maid kindly exclaims, watching the two staring at each other with some intensity.

"Thank you.", this time it was Taehyung who utters these words. The female just smiles as she walks out closing the door on her way back.

"Jeongguk listen-", the older male between the pair tries again to clear out his words.

"Just- let's just leave already. You were very enthusiastic to do so anyways."

Saying that, Jeongguk walks away from the other male, his steps quick to the door. Just the next moment the male is out of the room, leaving Taehyung, standing there.

Many people were scattered around the spacious hall. Suits and dresses. Formal, everything was so formal that even the words were too difficult to understand. The sentences structured with words belonging to huge set of vocabulary.

"Jeongguk, I had no idea you were into men.", laughter leaves the male's lips after utttering these words. "I could've approached you sooner."

Jeongguk just chuckles at the male. He was standing in front of his friend as the party was flowing smoothly. Everyone greeting him and offering him their congrats.

"Yeah, well I was into men for a very long time.", the raven haired retorts back, watching his friend, Yugyeom grinning widely.

"Where is your love anyways?", Yugyeom questions, his gaze turning around the hall.

This seems to falter Jeongguk's smile. He himself turns his gaze around the hall, to find the brunette standing a few feet away talking away to some elder couple.

He points at the male, identifying his 'love'. Yugyeom looks at the direction pointed and smirks slightly. His lips tugging barely, only close up people can identify it as a grin.

"You got yourself a hot one.", the male expresses, shamelessly eyeing the other from distance.

"Well, yeah I guess.", Jeongguk mutters, a little annoyance evident in his tone.

"Did you both have a fight?", Yugyeom questions, observing the other's frowned eyebrows.

"Why do you ask?", Jeongguk turns his gaze back to his friend. His expression changing to a rather confused one.

"You both are standing at a distant even though it's your and his engagement. It's not only me who thinks this way, I've heard murmurs here and there talking about how they don't even know who's the couple. You kinda sound annoyed at the mention of him as well.", Yugyeom stares at his friend who just listens to the words and has no words of his own coming out of the mouth.

After a long moment of silence,

"I'll be back."

Jeongguk walks towards Taehyung who still looks busy with the two elderly couple. His facial expression, tense. This causes Jeongguk to slow down his steps, to observe the trio. The elderly couple looking somewhat angry. He fastens his steps at noticing the couple's odd behavior.
