"This is it," I said stepping out of my car. This was the National Korean Football stadium and it was being transformed into a stadium for tonight. Taehyung had to be at the scene six hours ago. In order to get placing and mic checks done. Taehyung was just getting over a cold and he was a little nervous about his vocal ability. So what would any good girlfriend do? Buy her boyfriend his favorite food and his dog. I carried the plastic bags in one hand and called for Yeontan with the other. With his little legs, it was difficult for him to jump out of the car. But he was a big boy and got out of his seat. He barked in excitement and drew attention to me. I had dark shades on and was looking kinda bummy. I wasn't sure if Dispatch would be in the area so I had to make sure I was incognito. My simple t-shirt and leggings were simple enough.
Walking closer to the stadium's staff was moving around setting up everything. Yeontan's little tail wagged back and forth as we passed by security. I told him I was delivering Mr. Kim's dog as requested by him. He just looked down at Yeontan's fluffy body and let us pass. In all my months of being with Taehyung, this was the first time seeing him during rehearsals. Usually, I came in the middle of the show and took him back home. But it was a nice change. I could hear Hoseok and Namjoon talking to each other. That's when I turned on stealth mode and crept around. I couldn't risk Tae seeing me, it would ruin everything. Yeontan was walking slower as he encountered more people walking past.
I was hoping he wouldn't bark and would stay a good boy for mama. As a precaution, I picked up Yeontan and walked quickly to the dressing room. The door was cracked. Yoongi and Jungkook were eating a dinner plate in the middle of the room. No sight of Taehyung. When I entered the room Jungkook looked up first.
"Don't say anything. I'm trying to surprise Tae." Jungkook and Yoongi nodded and went back to talking amongst themselves and eating. I put Yeontan down on the leather sofa. My arm was glad to receive some blood circulation.
"I have some snacks for you guys." I placed the plastic bag on the table.
"Thanks, Lauren," Yoongi said, opening the bag. His eyes got big looking at the candies.
"American chocolate bars are so good." Jungkook ripped open a Snickers bar.
"Fattening too," I added.
The three of us laughed. Not much later I heard Tae coming. Dashing behind the door I watched him enter the room.
"What were you guys laughing about." He got closer to the table and looked at the plastic bag. His favorite food and the candy bars were now noticeable.
"Who brought this?" Like a cliche, I walked up to him and covered his eyes with my hands.
"Who else would buy your favorite meal?"
His large tan hands touched mines. He didn't react much but he did smile.
"Awww I thought that you would be more excited to see me."
"You know I don't do surprises. Plus someone gave it away." Our hands were now holding each other.
"Like who?"
Tae let go and pointed at Yeontan who was licking himself on the arm of the sofa. I cursed myself. I forgot the dog.
"E for effort," Tae said sitting down and opening his meal. "D for delicious." He ate.
I pouted. "I wanted this to be super romantic and cheesy. So much for that." I sat on the sofa with Yeontan. He was playing with his uncle Jungkook on the other end. Still a little bummed out, Taehyung kissed me on my cheek.
"That makes me feel a little better."
"Good because that's all we have time for right now," Jimin said. I black bucket hat was over his eyes. Taehyung looked down at his watch and tapped the top.
"We have to do the second half of the show now." Jimin finished. "Let's go."
As if we were all thinking the same thing. Yoongi said it first, "This might be the first time Jimin isn't late to a practice or rehearsal."
The room went into laughter. Totally ironic for Jimin. Something must have happened for him to be all punctual all of a sudden. But the time came when Taehyung had to leave. His half-eaten food sat on the table. I was hugging onto him not wanting to let him go.
"I'll miss you."
"I'm only 20 feet away," Tae said brushing the side of my face.
"That's too far away for me. I want you."
He smirked. "Well, that's all you had to say, babe." He made the gesture of undoing his belt. I popped his bicep.
"No, pervert. I want your presence. I want your company. Not what's in your pants." I let go of him.
"I promise when we go back to the hotel. You can have all my presence." Taehyung held out his pinkie finger. I wrapped mine around his.
"And if you break it then your pinkie will fall off."
"For the sake of my pinkie, I'll keep my word." Taehyung kissed me and dashed out the door. Leaving you alone in the room with Yeontan.
"Tannie that man is something else isn't he. But I love him anyway." I rubbed his fur and watched the 2nd half of the rehearsal on the tv.
