Twenty Three: Snake

A/N: Greetings everyone. 

November is finally coming to an end soon. 

Good Riddance.

Hate this month, with undying affection.

You see my problem? Ugh...

Anyway, back to Noirwood, where shit is going down.

:P Love you people,

Izzy

"Yes, I need two glasses of water with light ice and two of the darkest wines here. Make sure that the glasses of water don't come with too much condensation though, Jungkook hates it when it drips down his hand. Some napkins then too, if you will. Oh! I almost forgot! Make sure that the children have refreshments as well. Dehydration is never something kids should-"

"Mr. Kim Taehyung. We meet again."

Taehyung paused shortly in his request to the Laurel Servant who was nervously scribbling down orders. A frown spread across the blonde's face as he turned to see someone that he hoped he wouldn't run into for the rest of the night.

Mai.

"Oh, um..." Taehyung cleared his throat awkwardly as he turned from the servant to the dejected-looking woman. "How are you doing? Are you still angry, or-"

"Let's not talk about this here." Mai gave the servant a wary look. "Just finish your order or whatever and meet me in the hallway. Please. I need to tell you something."

And with that the woman stalked off, clearly still distressed over the whole situation between Jimin and her children. The blonde raised a hand to stop her. "W-wait! I can't just leave Jungkook alone by the dance floor-"

He glanced over at the dance floor where Jungkook was supposed to be sitting , only-

He wasn't there. 

Where did he go?

"Perhaps he went to the bathroom? Aw fuck, why am I always abandoned..." Taehyung grumbled as he got back to giving the poor servant a more detailed order. It took him a good couple minutes to finish his specifications, and once he completed them he gave a grateful bow to the servant before running off to the hallway. 

Whatever Mai needed to tell him was urgent, and Jungkook could wait a little by himself. It wasn't like the Oak Prince was ever bored in that head of his...

"Mai?" Taehyung puffed, out of breath as he rounded the ballroom door exit. His eyes measured his surroundings, looking for the troubled woman who just happened to be the mother of his daughter. 

Which was a kinda strange way to put it...since he wasn't the father.

"Here." Mai removed herself off the wall at the far end of the hallway next to a dim torch. She motioned for him to come over by her with an impatient swish of the hand that didn't go unnoticed by Taehyung. 

If it wasn't for her ironic relation to Rose, he would definitely call her a bit-

"Why are you grinning?" Mai demanded, crossing her arms. "Does it make you feel happy to see me so upset or something? 

Taehyung quickly changed his facial expression.

"What--no! I was just thinking about Jungkook, that's all..." The blonde propped a hand on the wall, leaning against it while considering Mai seriously. "So...what did you want to tell me?"
