Only On Paper [ K.TH FF]

Chapter Eight

"Are you okay?", the soft voice from beside me snapped me out of my thoughts which seemed to be devoid of everything else other than Kim Taehyung, my husband. As much as that term sounds foreign, it still unleashes a thrill of warmth inside me.

"Yeah. Why?", I shrug, while flipping through the pages of a book which I wasn't even reading. The sound of pages flipping across the hall and the distant sounds of whispers could be heard in the library.

"You look off. Did something happen?", she asked again, with worry in her voice. Her light brown orbs gleamed as she leaned over the table staring at my face.

"No.", I mumble.

It made me recall about last night. Even though I knew he wouldn't come home, I still waited for him and ended up sleeping on the couch. I shouldn't care but the way I am getting attached to this man is terrifying.

Sitting in the library and instead of reading, I was thinking about Taehyung. Why is this man occupying my mind like this?

I get up abruptly which made the chair make a screeching sound against the floor. And as for the people at library who are ready to get distracted by even the smallest sound were already looking over at our table.

I mentally curse myself and start shoving my books in my bags, keeping my heads down.

"Where you going?", Wooju stood up too.

"I'm done for the day so I'm going home."

She followed me outside the campus to the street. Just then, I heard a familiar voice calling out to Wooju, "Wooju-yah!"
My eyes followed the source of the sound to see Park Jimin, jogging towards us. Wooju hugged him as soon as he came near us. I watched them awkwardly. Are they dating? They seemed really close.

When Jimin noticed me, his eyes grew wide and then his face broke into a wide grin.

"Eunhye, so nice to see you again.", he exclaimed.

"Hi.", I nodded at him.

" You know my cousin Park Jimin?", Wooju squealed.

"We met at a party. He's your cousin?", I asked.

"I'm Wooju's cousin brother. And Wooju, I met Eunhye-sshi at father's party, the one you missed.", Jimin explained.

"Great. But I have to go. It was nice meeting you.", I tried to leave. I had to catch a bus back home. I am trying to move around Seoul on my own. It's more fun than being driven around in a car which I don't even own.

"If you don't mind, I can give you a ride?", Jimin asked, flustered.

I wanted to go home wandering on my own but since Jimin asked so politely, I couldn't refuse.

Wooju is a certified chatterbox! We've been driving for fifteen minutes and there wasn't a single second when she was not talking. Jimin is also a chatty person but there were times when he gave up too. And I was listening to them from the backseat. I wasn't a small talk person and would just stay quiet in these situations.

I caught Jimin looking at me from the rearview mirror. He knows I am married but he hasn't brought it up in front of Wooju, yet. Thank god, because I'm not prepared to give an explanation.

While I was reading blogs on my phone, Wooju announced, "Oppa said we can meet him at his company since no one's at his home."

"That jerk! I know he's trying to hide his wife from us.", Jimin scoffed.

This is so confusing. How many 'oppas' does she have?

As if reading my mind, she answered,
"I have seven big brothers including Jimin oppa. One of them recently got married secretly. He lives in Cheongdam-dong."

'I live in Cheongdam-dong too.'

She didn't have to tell me about her family. It was already awkward for me to sit at the back seat and listen to their personal matters.

"Eunhye-sshi, is it okay if we drop by somewhere for a while?", Jimin asked.

"Sure.", I smiled at them.
