The Shop Assistant [Completed] ✅

Chapter 26

Yoongi's POV

What the fuck is this shit? Am I on an episode of The Brady Bunch? I think I have to get my ears checked cos I'm sure I heard Jin say he's proposed to the shop assistant and they even have a house together. Nothing is making sense right now. I wish I could just escape to my room and think on all this. Right now I have to smile like an idiot and oooh and aaaah appropriately like these other idiots.

I'm having an internal battle, sitting and pondering over all my scheming which has once again backfired. That stupid mutt of a man, Taehyung's alcoholic, worthless father, has disappeared off the face of the Earth. When I get my hands on him!!!!

"So yeah guys. I hope you will all give us your blessings. We truly love each other," Jin says, gazing into the eyes of the pretty boy like some lovesick fool.

Ugh!I can't take much more of this. Their hands are intertwined as Taehyung shows his ring off to a gushing Jimin. This is beyond ridiculous. They can't get married. Not in this country anyhow. So what's the point of this nonsense?

My eyes lock on Taehyung and he smirks at me. Who the fuck he thinks he is now? I glare at him and he laughs lightly, looking away as Jin places a soft kiss on his lips.

"Oh God hyung! You guys are so cute!" Hoseok squeals in delight.

The more they all get excited, the more my anger builds when suddenly I find myself sitting next to Jin. I smile up at him.

"You haven't said anything Yoongs. Are you happy for me, for us?" He asks me shyly.

Goddammit! Why is he so cute? My heart is paining. I just want to reach for him and cuddle in his arms, with him stroking my hair and telling me that this is all one big joke.

"I'm happy for you hyung. I hope you will be happy always, whoever you are with. Although, don't you think that this is all a bit rushed? I mean, how long do you know this guy and don't forget about the recent scandal that happened," I try to reason with him.

He smiles softly. "I love him Yoongi-ssi and he loves me too. Shouldn't that be enough? And I know all about what happened in his past. We've worked through all that," he says determinedly.

"But marriage hyung? You know that's not allowed here. What will happen with ARMY and the media? They will dissect you. You've worked so hard for so long. We all have. Why do you want to throw all this away?"

He looks down for a while and then looks up and his eyes lock with Taehyung. They both smile at each other across the room. I watch as an unspoken bond forms between them. I can't watch this.

"Jin hyung, I think I'll take your leave now," I say, getting up off the couch.

He stops me. "Please Yoongi-ssi. I need your support. We both do. Can I count on you if things get out of hand with the press and everyone?"

I can't look away from his puppydog eyes. Why does he have the power to do this to me? I have never been weak about anyone before, but Jin makes me feel like soft butter.

I hold onto his hands, stroking his fingers with my thumbs.

"I will always support and love you Jin hyung. You know that. I'm always here for you. And....I'll be here for Taehyung too," I add grudgingly.

He leaps into my arms and kisses me all over my face. I'm stunned. I don't know how to react especially in front of everyone, who are looking at us now.

"Oh! Thank you so much Yoongs! You're the best friend ever! I love you!" Seokjin squeals in delight.

Taehyung walks over to us and extends his hand to me formally. All eyes are on me, so I reciprocate as much as I don't want to.

"Thank you sunbaenim. Hyung and I hold you in very high esteem. We truly appreciate your support." He smiles at me sincerely.

"You can call me hyung. I think it's about time," I say and his eyes go wide.

"Thank you hyung." He hugs me tightly.

Everyone gushes over me. I can't take all this attention for long so I escape to my room, stealthily. I need to sort out my feelings. And I need a stiff drink.

Taehyung's POV

I watch as everyone gives us so much love and support. Bangtan are truly an amazing family and I am so blessed to have them. I notice how Jungkook and Jimin have become so much closer and my eyes shine happily, hoping that they will find the kind of happiness that Jin and I have.

I'm taken out of my thoughts when my phone rings. I excuse myself and take the call on the balcony.

Taehyungah, it's Jackson. I found him!

Where the fuck was he?

Hiding in Daegu, at your uncle's farm. What do you want us to do?

Hold him there. Tomorrow morning, we'll drive there together. Get the boys ready. I will need help.

Sure thing!

One more thing, Jack. I'm engaged. Jin hyung asked me and I said 'yes'.

Wow! I'm so happy for you Tae-ah. At least you can finally be happy.

Yeah. Only after I sort out everything else. You know I never wanted Lisa to know. But now, I don't know what else to do.

Maybe it is time for the truth my friend. We can only hope for the best after that.

True. I'll see you in the morning. Text me and I'll pick you all up when you're ready.

The call ends and Taehyung makes his way back to the others.

Seokjin looks at him questioningly.

"All okay baby?" His voice laced with concern.

I sigh and nod at him.

"Everything is okay love. We'll talk later."

Seokjin nods and gets back into the conversation about weddings and venues. They all laugh at imagining Taehyung in a dress.

Unbeknownst to them, Yoongi had hung on to every word that Taehyung had uttered. He resolves to follow him tomorrow.
