Bad At Love . KTH [Completed]

XXXI

Taehyung's POV 

"What is this?" Jimin asked as I smacked an envelope on the desk. 

"It's my letter of resignation," I said seriously. 

"Your letter of resignation?" Yoongi repeated, his eyebrow raised, amusement in his voice. 

"Yes," I confirmed. 

"Wait, we can do that?" Yoongi merely waves Jungkook's comment off and picks up the envelope. 

"Are you sure about this?" he asked, waving the envelope in the air.

"Yes," I confidently answered again. I had been thinking about this for a long time, and I had made this decision all on my own. It was what I wanted. I was sure of it. 

"Alright well, I can't say we're happy to see you step down, but I'm sure that you'll be comfortable with your decision," Yoongi says, sliding the envelope into his pocket. He then stands up and sticks out his hands, of which I shake. "Good luck." 

"Thanks," I said. With one last look at the conference room, I stepped over the threshold, ready to start a new chapter of my life.

Seoyoung's POV 

"You want to move? Like, move houses move?" I asked again for the hundredth time, not sure I was hearing him right. We were currently sitting on our bed as he broke the news to me. 

"Yes Beauty, I want to 'move houses move,'" Taehyung quoted. 

"I-" honestly, I didn't know what to say. "But why?" 

"Because, I'm no longer the leader of Nightingale, so I feel it's only appropriate to-"

"You're what?!" 

"I stepped down from Nightingale," he clarified, taking my hands in his large ones. "I want to focus on you. Plus, I don't need to keep looking over my shoulder anymore. We can go back to your normal life." 

"But- What will happen to Nightingale? What about everyone who needs you and your protection? We still need protection, no? Eunah hasn't stopped-" Taehyung rubs my hand and prompts me to slow down and listen to him. 

"That has all been taken care of. Nightingale has been passed into the more than capable hands of Yoongi and Namjoon who will take good care of those people. As for the whole Eunah issue, Jimin, Jungkook and a team have been reassigned as our bodyguards under Muse until the issue is sorted out and there is no need for us to be protected. Until the, we can focus on the life I've always wanted."

"But- I- Tae," I started softly. For some reason, I felt guilty. He was giving up everything he had built and worked hard for, because of me. I shouldn't come between any of his affairs. "You don't have to do this. Just because I used to be normal, it doesn't mean I'm not happy with the life I'm living now." Taehyung merely smiles and places his hand on my kneecap. 

"But I want this too, Seoyoung. I've dreamed of this for such a long time now. You were just the push that I needed," he said. Don't get me wrong, I was happy to hear this, but it was a lot to take in. Gosh, I've been here for so long, I even forget what it's like to be normal. 

"Okay, well, when do you want to move?" I asked. 

"We can take it slow, really. There's no rush. We can take our time finding a house. It's not like we're getting kicked out or anything," he said, slowly rubbing circles on my hand then giving it a little kiss. 

"Well, there is one thing that we have to do before we leave," I said, standing up. 

"And what might that be?" 

"Hmmm," I don't answer him and check out his outfit (checking him out a little as well). "Get changed and meet me at the front door in an hour." It was clear that Taehyung was perplexed at my sudden demand. 

"Why? What's going on?" he asked, wanting to tell him more but I just start pushing him towards his closet where I had already laid out his outfit for him. 

"Just do it. Look nice," I said, then, giving him a short kiss, I exited the room. 

"I always look nice!" he shouts from behind making my chuckle.

"Well look better!"

~*~ 

"So now are you gonna tell me what all this is about?" Taehyung asks as he descends the stairs looking fresh in the nice suit I chose for him, and boy did he look fine. 

"Nope," I replied, holding up a piece of black silk cloth in front of me. "Put this on." At my command, Taehyung raises his eyebrow. 

"Oh? What are we doing now?" he asked, a sly smirk forming on his lips. I rolled my eyes and hurriedly tied it around his head. 

"It's a surprise," I explained, guiding him to the elevator. It was odd. Taehyung had always been the one to guide me, it felt good to be doing something for him once. Once the doors had closed, we shot down to the party level, doors opening when we arrived. It was quiet as I requested, emphasizing the 'surprise' part of the party. Gently, I give him a little push and we step into the curtained room. This is where I took off his blindfold. 

"So...?" he said, looking around at the odd room. 

"Follow me," I said with an excited smile while taking his hand. I drew back the curtains into the darkroom, then, the lights came on as a tremendous "surprise!" billowed through the hall. Taehyung's face was priceless. He was so shocked, his mouth just hung open in shock as he saw the decorated hall all filled with his men.

"What-"

"It's your birthday silly!" I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him through the aisle to the stage. 

"My birthday...?" he questioned under his breath. It was funny. A man with such a divine brain who could come up with every scheme in the world had forgotten his own birthday. We arrived in front of the stage, pulling a dazed Taehyung on with me. Everyone smiled at Taehyung's behaviour, something never before seen. A stunned Tae.  

"Hello everyone! Thank you so much for attending and putting all this together for our little birthday boy." 

Taehyung snapped his head to look at me with big eyes, saying, "Birthday boy?" exasperatedly. I just threw him a smile and beckoned Jimin and Jungkook who were waiting with the cake I had personally baked with Jin (who was also quite the unexpected chef). On Jimin's que, the entire hall broke out into song. 

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" we all sang. In the end, there was a burst of applause and loud cheers that shook the walls. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAE!" we all screamed. Taehyung still hadn't gotten over his shock so I nudged him in the ribs. 

"Make a wish, Beasty."
