A Deal with My Frenemy

020

"I left my wallet," Taehyung confessed.

"What?!" Dahyun complained and then she let out a sigh, "How are we supposed to go in now?"

"Don't you have your wallet?" he asked.

Dahyun scanned her bag and took out her wallet, "I only brought my coin purse. This is not enough."

"How much?"

"It can only afford a ticket," Dahyun contemplated before adding, "But it can also afford that one."

Taehyung's gaze travelled to the direction where Dahyun was staring. It was a discounted price for couples.

Dahyun muttered, "Forget it. Let's get your wallet first. I should have brought my card with me."

As she was about to walk away, Taehyung grabbed her wrist and said, "Let's take it."

When Dahyun replied with a questioning stare, Taehyung spoke again.

"L-let's take the discount for couples," Taehyung stuttered, "We're practically a couple, anyways"

"No, we are not!" Dahyun argued.

"We are," Taehyung retorted, "We're engaged, by the way. In case you forgot."

The sentence caught Dahyun offguard and Taehyung took the opportunity to snatch her wallet from her.

Even before Dahyun could react, he already made his way to the counter and paid their entrance fee.

"Wow! They are so many," Dahyun said upon looking at a school of fish.

Taehyung chuckled at the sight of Dahyun roaming like a child around the aquarium.

"It's coming," he told her.

"What are you talk – " Dahyun widened her eyes when a large fish, suddenly swam near the glass.

Shocked, she suddenly took a step backwards, but she lost her balance.

Luckily, Taehyung caught her, his hand placed at her back. She looked up only to find Taehyung smirking at her.

He whispered, "Be careful."

Dahyun rolled her eyes and hit Taehyung's chin with her forehead.

"Ouch! What was that for?!" Taehyung complained.

Dahyun only ran away from him but eventually turned, laughing at him.

His feet dragged him towards her and without noticing, his lips have already curved into a big smile. The bubbly Dahyun in front of him looked so much like the child he grew up with. He enjoyed every moment that Dahyun would make an amazed face for every fish she sees.

"They are glowing!" Dahyun exclaimed when they finally found the jellyfish.

"I thought you only like fish when they are cooked," he teased her.

"I'm not like you," Dahyun retorted.

Taehyung then glared at her but Dahyun chuckled in return.

"Stop glaring and start smiling," Dahyun told him, "Smile or I would feel like I'm the only one enjoying the view."

Dahyun looked back at the aquarium but Taehyung continued staring at her before he whispered, "I am enjoying the view."

"Would you like to take a photo?" one of the crew asked Dahyun who was playing with the dolphin while Taehyung just stood there, watching her.

"Is it for free? I didn't bring extra money with me," Dahyun replied.

"It's free if you take it with your boyfriend over there," the crew said, pointing at Taehyung. He added, "We give out the pictures for free to the couples."

Dahyun hesitated but then said, "But he's not my boyfriend."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

But then, Taehyung sat beside Dahyun and said with a smile, "I'm her fiancé."

The crew nodded with a playful smile on his face.

Dahyun looked at Taehyung but Taehyung just whispered, "Play along. I know you badly want a picture."

Dahyun looked in front and flashed a smile as the crew took their picture and the timing came in right when the dolphin that leaped behind them. The crew then informed them that they were entitled to two more pictures and one of them had to be while they are swimming with the fish.

"But I don't know how to swim," Taehyung complained as he felt the water beneath him.

Dahyun took his hand which was gripping on a steel bar.

"Hold unto me," Dahyun guided his hand towards her shoulder, "And please, calm down. The fish might get scared because of your nervousness."

Taehyung took deep breaths before putting on his mask. Dahyun gestured a thumbs-up mark asking him if he was ready and he slightly nodded his head. They both went under, his hands tightly gripping Dahyun's shoulder but his hands eventually slid down to her waist.

Dahyun then motioned him to look at the camera and the crew took another picture.

From the picture, it looked like Taehyung was giving her a back hug under water.

----------

Dahyun could still not stop laughing as the picture laid in the table while they ate their dinner. It was the third picture which they took with the penguins.

"Yah! Stop laughing." Taehyung complained once more, "Of course I would make that face! It was picking on my hair!"

Dahyun stifled a laugh but eventually burst out, laughing with her mouth open. Annoyed, Taehyung stuffed food on her mouth to make her stop laughing. Dahyun could not do anything but just chew the food that Taehyung had fed her but she almost choked on the amount of food in her mouth.

Sweet revenge.

"Did you have fun?" He asked.

Dahyun nodded, "So-so."

"Tch. You clearly had fun!"

"Then why ask if you already know?"

Taehyung sighed. But then said, "Quickly finish that up."

"Why?"

Taehyung grinned, "You'll know soon."

Dahyun squinted her eyes and proceeded on eating. She raised both of her hands when she was done, and Taehyung quickly grabbed her towards their unit.

"What's with the hurry?!" she complained.

Taehyung just smiled as they went in the balcony. He then looked at his watch and said, "Any time now."

Before Dahyun could ask again, different colors flashed on the night sky.

"It's the fire festival today. So they are having a fireworks show," Taehyung explained.

She did not reply which made Taehyung look at her. There was a glimmer in her eyes that showed how mesmerized she was by the images created by the fireworks.

"It's so beautiful!" Dahyun exclaimed.

"Indeed, beautiful," Taehyung said while looking at how the colors in the sky shone on Dahyun's porcelain skin.
