The Prince's Gambit

Bloody Hell

Tzuyu checked into the hospital. She headed up to Taehyung's room and she couldn't wait to see him again. She brought some leftovers from breakfast so he wouldn't have to eat the trash hospital food. When she arrived she saw Taehyung sitting on the bed while holding onto the IV drip. The doctor was checking on his vitals when he turned around to see Tzuyu. "He will be on the IV drip for a couple of hours before a nurse removes it". "Then you may sign the discharge papers". "Thank you Doctor!" she said while looking at the tired Taehyung. The doctor smiled and left the room allowing the couple to be alone. Tzuyu put the container of food that she held on the side table and then she hugged Taehyung. She buried her face and repeatedly said "I'm sorry...". "I'm sorry...". "I'm-". Before Taehyung hushed her. "It's not your fault, it was my decision to push you out of the way". "Don't blame yourself when it was clearly the criminal's fault". "Did we at least catch whoever was behind it?" Tzuyu gave a savage glare at Taehyung clearly angry that the topic was brought up. "It was Hyerin...". "Never speak of that bitch's name again" she said angrily.

 Taehyung snaked his arms around Tzuyu's waist and put her head on his shoulder. "I like the savage Princess Tzuyu". "I haven't seen this side of you before and I kind of like it" Taehyung said while smirking. "Will you ever stop teasing me?" Tzuyu asked almost as if she as given up. "Never babe". "I'm sorry but no deal". Tzuyu scoffed at his remark and grabbed the food container. "I got some leftovers from breakfast". "These are soft foods so they will digest easier" she said while grabbing a spoon scooping up the rice porridge up to Taehyung's mouth. She focused carefully blowing softly on the spoonful of rich porridge while Taehyung stared at her in awe. "Thanks for... being a caring girlfriend" Taehyung said softly. Tzuyu was shocked by Taehyung's statement. He always makes sarcastic remarks and constantly teases her but this is the first endearing remark he has ever given. "Awww... you are so sweet" Tzuyu said while blushing. Taehyung looked away just embarrassed at the situation. "Can I hear it again but just a little louder" Tzuyu teased. "Don't push your luck" Taehyung said as he rolled his eyes. Tzuyu giggled and pushed the spoonful of porridge up to Taehyung's mouth where he took a bite still shyly looking away.  

Just in case you don't know what an IV drip looks like.

Jimin and Dahyun entered the coffee shop. "I see that everything is running well" Mr. Kim said. "Yes, Mr. Kim we made sure to hire the best people to run your business" Jimin responded. Mr. Kim still wasn't convinced by the boy. He was still suspicious of his actions. How could a young wealthy CEO fall for a poor man's daughter. He knew that his precious daughter Dahyun was certainly beautiful and had the biggest heart so he wanted to test Park Jimin before allowing his permission. The three of them took a seat at the table. The waiter came over and asked them all for their orders. "I'll have an americano" Dahyun said. "I'll have an iced coffee" Jimin said. "I have the same order as my daughter" Mr. Kim said while smiling at her. Dahyun returned the smile back. You can definitely tell that their bond was strong just by their interactions. It must have been hard when their mother left them. No wonder why they are this close... Jimin thought. 

Mr. Kim struck up a conversation with Jimin. "So how did you meet my daughter?" Jimin bit his lip slightly while looking at Dahyun. "This coffee shop is near where I live so I just came here to get some coffee". "Your daughter was a waiter here and owner". "She treated me with such kindness and made other customers stop harassing me". "I just thought that I would get to know her better". Mr. Kim eyed Jimin up and down. "How did you do that?" he asked still suspicious of the boy. "I offered her a job as my personal assistant at Park Corporations". "She was responsible and hard-working so she fit perfectly fo the job". "I fired many of my assistants since they never seemed too fit but she immediately did" Jimin said while holding onto Dahyun's hand which made Dahyun blush. Mr. Kim watched the interaction between the couple and squinted in eyes. Maybe it was because of his failed relationship with Dahyun's mother that made him this way but he was always skeptical of love especially when it came to his daughter. Wild thoughts were running through Mr. Kim's mind. So this boy bribed my daughter with a high-paying job just to date him. Then he payed for my surgery to get on my good side. Bloody Hell this kid is manipulative but I am not a fool. I won't fall for your corporate tricks. Mr. Kim cracked his knuckled as he snapped out of his wild thoughts.

"Dubu, is it okay if I spend some time with Jimin alone so we get to know each other better" Mr. Kim said. "Of course" Dahyun said with a wide smile. She was just happy that the two people she loved the most will be building a nice bond together. Little did she know that her father absolutely despised Jimin and was suspicious of him. The waiter arrived with their orders. "Two americanos and one iced coffee" the waiter said. The group of three thanked the waiter and enjoyed their drinks. While Jimin was sipping on his iced coffee he could feel a heavy stare from across the table. It looked like Mr. Kim wanted to rip his head off and put it on a steel pike for the world to see but he suddenly shifted his face to a warm smile. "How about you help me in the kitchen Jimin so we get to know each other better". "I absolutely love cooking" Mr. Kim said still showing a somewhat forced cheesy smile. Mr. Kim's actions sent chills down Jimin's spine. He knew he was a terrible chef but he had to bond with Dahyun's father so there was no choice. "Can I come?" Dahyun said excitedly waiting for a "Yes" from her father but instead her father shook his head. "I'm sorry Dubu but maybe next time". "I want to get to know Jimin". "Just two men" he said with a deeper tone in his voice. Mr. Kim held Jimin's hand and dragged him to the kitchen while Jimin looked at Dahyun mouthing "please help me" which made Dahyun giggle.

Here is another funny meme. Hopefully this brightens up your day.
