"Shall we leave for the airport, sir?" Taehyung's manager, Lee Soohyuk, asked him before picking up the necessary documents and keeping them inside a folder. Taehyung nodded as he kept the empty cup of coffee on his table and carried his blazer in his hands, putting it on his shoulders and wearing it through the way towards his car.
As he sat in his car in the back seat, he couldn't help but get reminded of the old times of how he used to pick Jungkook fromâ¦.. better stay unsaid. Taehyung shook his head in an attempt to come out of the trance and focus on the road as the car started moving and the driver's focus was completely on driving.
Taehyung kept looking outside the window as if recalling all his memories once again, trying to frame a picture of them and erase them for once and all. As easily as it could be framed through the sentences, as difficult as it was to actually erase those memories which had made a permanent settlement in his heart. Some were in the form of some beautiful petals which he wanted to cherish forever, whereas some were so harsh that even if a look was taken towards them, it would do nothing but freshen the untreated scars again.
"Sir, we are here." Hearing the driver's voice, Taehyung stiffened his body and fixed his blazer before opening the door of the car and getting out. "This way, sir." Soohyuk guided him further towards the place where everyone was waiting for Jungkook's arrival.
Reaching there, he found so many smiling faces. Some greeted him while some stood up to even hug him after seeing his arrival. "Finally you are here, Mr Kim." One of the apparent guests for Jungkook's arrival said to Taehyung after parting away from the hug.
"Why would I not be? Even though it's going to be such a tough competition now, it doesn't even bother me much showing some sincere acts of respect towards the other company unlike the others. Hope you're doing well." Taehyung smiled and shook hands with that guest, keeping the low side of his heart aside and trying his best to ignore the feeling.
As the time passed by talking, after waiting for half an hour or so, chaos could be seen within the crowd as several news reporters suddenly marched towards the boarding area's exit, alarming everyone that it was time for Jungkook to come. The time for which Taehyung had toughened himself so much.
As the guards relieved the crowd a little, a figure, a very well-known figure to Taehyung came into view. And he was seeing him once again.
There stood Jungkook.
