Part 11

"Get the idea already & shut your mouth will you."

"Hahaha." Suddenly they heard Jimin laughing while holding his tummy. He was laughing so hard that his eyes turned into crescent moons.

O no this is not good. Why wouldn't this dramatic sh*t get the idea & close his mouth. It's always like this whenever we call Jimin cute or chubby, he would get really angry. For some reason being called these is equal to being called 'Fat' for him. I know it's ridiculous but Yoongi hyung explained to me that it's just his pregnancy inferiority. He often feels nervous about his big belly & weight gain.

Even though we find it's not something to feel inferior about but for Jimin, it makes him feel less beautiful & unattractive. And now this dramatic sh*t just threw a stone at the resting volcano. May Lord Shiva save him from Jimin's wrath.

I watch how Jimin is laughing like a maniac but he can burst any second now.

I can also feel Taehyung struggling in my hold. But if I let him go, Jimin will probably say something offensive to him.

"Quit struggling & let hyung handle the situation, alright."

".... Sbsh-what situation? Move your dirty hands from my mouth Mr. Bunny."

"Don't call me that."

"Then..-"

We were interrupted when Jimin came forward & caught Taehyung's hand pulling him towards him. He looks upset.

Here it goes...

"Pretty boy... Answer me honestly... Do I look fat to you."

"Jim..-"

"Shush.. Jungkook-ah. I wanna hear him."

You're so dead dramatic sh*t. I look at him to see the fear in his eyes that we feel whenever we offend Jimin but I was surprised when he suddenly hugged Jimin smiling brightly. So bright, that it makes me wanna wear my sunglasses to avoid that brightness.

"Of course not. You're not fat at all. You're the cutest, prettiest & most precious looking person in my eyes. These chubby cheeks of your are a sign that you are healthy, it gives you the additional glow. I'm sure this is the afterglow of pregnancy. By the way, which month is it?

"4th month."

"Wow congratulations. If the mother is so cute, I'm sure the baby will be even cuter. Right guys?" He turned towards me & Yoongi hyung. And without thinking much we quickly nod our heads in agreement.

"And about my dress, I made it myself. You might think that I'm praising myself, but really I'm an exper at this. If you want I can make one for you too."

"Wah! Really?"

"Hmm... Tell me...-"

I see as Taehyung was able to avoid getting burned by the volcano, successfully. I can't believe he was capable of distracting Jimin so smoothly. No one & I mean no one except Min mami had the power to do that. But now Taehyung did that with ease.

Yoongi hyung poke my side to get my attention. "He's incredible. You got yourself a nice boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend hyung!!"

"Then what are you waiting for you idiot. Make him your boyfriend or ever better your wife"

I made the most crooked expression I can come up with. His words sound so absurd to me. Like me with that drama queen.... Never. Never in a million years.

"I will rather die single than make him my life partner."

"Whatever you say." Hyung chuckled at me as if I cracked some lame joke. 'What's there to laugh?'

We look at Taehyung & Jimin who are busy having a great conversation. I notice how Taehyung's lips turn into a unique square shape when he laughs, It actually suits him. He looks beautiful while laughing. & his eyes shine so bright, just like two little pearls.

'Hold on, hold on. Where did that thought come from Jungkook... He & beautiful in the same sentence. I must be crazy.'

"What are you guys doing on the stairs. Jimin honey, don't stand for so long or your feet will hurt."

"Yeobin bua(paternal aunt) I was heading to the room but I met this amazing person & now we are soulmates." Jimin had a big smile on his face. Proudly introducing his new found soulmate to the others. I just shake my head at them.

"& he is Jungkook, my husband's cousin brother. My devar(brother-in-law)." Jimin points at me.

"Ok enough with the intros. Taehyung your work is finished right? Please help Jimin to the room for resting & stay with him so that he doesn't wander around." Maa tells Taehyung & he nods happily.

"But which room?"

"Bunny will guide you."

Taehyung laughs but immediately turns his face the other way so that I won't know. But guess what... 'I've been looking at you this whole time..... Wait! that sounded a bit ..romantic?'

"Maa~ not that word~"

*********

"And this is your room. Take rest & if you need anything tell him." I point at Taehyung.

"Excuse me, I'm also a guest here. How can you tell me to do work."

"Technically, you were working here a while ago. So what if you work a little more."

"Then that will be called overworking you know."

"By the way how did you manage to calm Jimin? I'm telling you, you would have been in great trouble once Jimin gets mad at someone. I mean even I wasn't able to save myself the last time Jimin had an anger episode."

"It was simple." He smirks. Then using his fingers he pull my ear near his lips & whispered lowly. "I'm smarter than you."

*ahem, ahem*

"If your lovers quarrel is over, I would like to lay down. Jungkook-ah tell Yoonie to bring my medicine from mom & Tae please close the door."

"Sure. Mr. Bunny come I'll show you the way out."

"I know the way, it's my house. & don't call me that."

"& what if I do?" Now he is testing my patience. I move a step towards him but he stops me by raising his hand. "Stop right there. It's not like you have introduced yourself to me, so what do you expect me to call you."

"Didn't Jimin tell you my name?" I frowned at him. He is being too much.

"He did. But you yourself didn't."

"......."

"I'll start. My name is Kim Taehyung, nice to meet you." He put forward his hand for a handshake, urging me to do the same with a sweet smile.

I huffed at him. He's being ridiculous again. But I will not fall for his friendly trap.

"Jeon Jungkook." I said without shaking his hand. I see his lips fall down, the sweet smile vanishing & sadness in his eyes. He retracted his hand feeling embarrassed.

'Huh.. Serves him right. But why do I feel my heart clenching to see him like that?'

I ignore the sour feeling in my chest & moved out of the room to find Yoongi hyung.

"Wasn't he behind us? Where did he go?

*************

It's almost 11:30am & we were ready to leave for the temple. I was keeping all the necessities in the car while Maa was guiding the neighbors to prepare everything needed for the feast later. Some of them will go with us while others will stay behind.

Mama, mami & Maa will go in one car whereas me, Yoongi hyung & Jimin will take the other car. "Bunny take Taehyung with you in your car. Ok." O yes I totally forgot about him. Maa insisted him to stay until the pooja & feast is over; as a special guest, cause he helped a lot today. Guess I have no choice.

"Ok ill go call them."

I went upstairs to Jimin, calling them to get ready & be in the car in 10 minutes.

"Let's go Taehyung-ah."

He got up from his place avoiding any eye contact with me. Well that doesn't bother me at all. They walked past me but then I felt a small tug at my sleeve. I look down at my hand & coincidencely my sleeve's thread was entangled with Taehyung's shimmering bracelet.

I raise my eyes to look at him, & he is already looking at me. When our eyes meet he immediately moved his attention to the bracelet. Yanking & pulling his hand, in an attempt to free himself.

"Wait. If you do that, it will alter my sleeve." I stop him & myself try to

untangle it. I pull a bit harder but stopped when I hear a muffled voice.

"Mhhh!!"

"What?"

"Ugh... Mhh."

Taehyung is trying to say something but he's not using his words. Just like that day in the flower shop.
