A Deal with My Frenemy

019

"You two should go first," Soo Ae told Taehyung and Dahyun and the two just nonchalantly went inside the cable car.

However, they widened their eyes when the cable car started moving without their mothers inside. They turned around to see their mothers grinning at them and waving.

Dahyun tried to bang the window of the cable car, "Mom!"

But as she banged the window, the cable car started to become unstable. Too scared, she did not attempt to knock on the cable car again.

Taehyung ran his fingers through his own hair. They were supposed to take the Jeju trip with their mothers, because that's what his father has instructed them, but their mothers were surely up to something else

Suddenly, his phone rang, and he rolled his eyes as he accepted the call from his mom.

"What are you planning now, mom?!" he complained.

"Kim Taehyung, I'm still your mother!" Jihyun responded, "You can't shout at me like that!"

Taehyung sighed to calm himself, "Spill it, now."

He heard his mom giggle before she answered, "You have your ATM cards with you, right? We're going to leave the two of you alone so you could spend quality time with each other."

"Mom, father instructed us to have this trip with you –" Taehyung tried to reason.

"Don't worry. I'll handle your father," Jihyun assured him.

Taehyung sighed again as he ended the call.

Dahyun in turn, immediately asked him, "What did they say?"

"They told us to 'Take care.'" Taehyung hissed.

Dahyun laid her back in the cable car and looked at the scenery before her. She beamed, "Maybe we should stop complaining and just enjoy this vacation."

Taehyung turned to see what she was looking at. He smiled and nodded, "Maybe yes."

From the cable car, they could see the beautiful sunset.

Their three-day vacation in Jeju has started.

"Maybe you got it wrong." Taehyung told the hotel assistant.

"No, Sir. Mrs. Kim clearly booked for that unit."

"But it was supposed to be a two-bedroom unit."

"No Sir. Mrs. Kim specifically instructed that it was to be occupied by a couple so she asked for a one-bedroom unit."

Taehyung rubbed his face with his hand.

"Then, we'll just book another unit. One with two-bedrooms," Dahyun suggested.

"I'm sorry ma'am. All other units are occupied or reserved."

Taehyung let out a scoff, "Let's just find another hotel."

He then turned and was ready to leave but Dahyun mumbled, "But I'm already tired."

Taehyung faced her, "What?"

"Let's just take that unit," Dahyun said after a long pause.

"She's right sir. Besides, the payment is non-refundable and I'm pretty sure that other hotels are occupied too. The bedroom is big enough too so – "

Taehyung threw a death glare to the hotel assistant which made him stop and gulp.

Sighing, he took the unit's keys before whispering to Dahyun, "Remember that this is your decision."

----------

"Nice decision Dahyun. Now go sleep in the couch," Taehyung exclaimed as soon as they entered the bedroom.

"Why?!" Dahyun asked in disbelief, "The bed is big enough for three people!"

Taehyung smirked and proceeded on teasing her. Leaning in, he whispered, "Do you want to sleep with me that bad?"

Returning the smirk, Dahyun leaned in too, making their faces only a few inches apart.

"I want to sleep... on the bed so bad," she retorted. Then, she sprinted towards the bed as she exclaimed, "First come, first serve!"

"W-What?" Taehyung asked but Dahyun already jumped on the bed, making herself comfortable.

She closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.

"Yah. Dahyun, it's impossible for you to fall asleep that easily. You haven't changed your clothes yet!"

"I'm too lazy," Dahyun said, not bothering to open her eyes, "Unless you want to change my clothes"

Taehyung widened his eyes, "What?!"

Dahyun took a peek by opening an eye. She chuckled, "I was just kidding besides I would kill you if you do that."

Defeated, Taehyung went into the bathroom to take a shower before going to bed. He looked at himself in the bathroom's mirror as he dried his hair with a towel.

"How can she joke about those things when she is about to sleep with a man?" he asked himself.

When he went out of the bathroom, he fond Dahyun peacefully sleeping on the bed. He fixed her head to lie down on the pillow and covered her body with the blanket.

He then kneeled in front of Dahyun and reached out to softly pinch her cheek.

"Still a tofu," he chuckled to himself.

He then took a good look at the empty space beside Dahyun and after a lengthy battle on his mind, he slept on the couch.
