Part 27

"You're not qualified to give me nicknames. Sora let's sit at the back, I want to talk to you. And Nitu if you're done picking the flowers you can go home, no need to wait for us." Without looking back he goes from there.

Sora smirks at Nitu then follows where Jungkook left to.

"That girl!! Who does she think she is... Ugh..."

I storm away from them as I think about today's day. Honestly it's the worst day of my life. First mom bored me with her constant nagging about my future & my studies, so to avoid her I came out for shopping, to lighten my mood. But everything was so cheap & out of my fashion league that it further ruined my mood.

But then I saw Jungkook with some girl & decided to listen to their conversation but unfortunately that bitch of a girl saw me. So to avoid any suspicion I lied about finding a flower boutique. And look where I landed.

"What's wrong with Jungkook. I asked him about a boutique & he brought me here, to this cheap flower shop." I look around disgusted by the small room. "Huh... Out of all the places in this whole town Jungkook got this place. It's so small .. How do people even walk here, it finishes by just 10 steps. I bet if I ask my father, he would built a bigger boutique for me."

I think I need a smoke. So I take out my mini cigarette packet & light it up after placing it between my beautiful plump lips. "Huuu.... And on top of that, this place belongs to Taehyung. Hehe.. It's hilarious actually, the professors at our college had such high expectations for him. And he ended up running a small, cheap flower shop. Kim Taehyung, the good-for-nothing teacher's pet." It's so funny that I almost tear up. Holding my stomach & stopping myself from laughing out loud I turn around a corner.

Suddenly I remember something that picked up my interest. I inhale a long puff of my cigarette looking at Taehyung at a distance, who is helping some old hag. Smiling as if he is an angel. Seriously such an actor he is; I feel like spitting on his ridiculously ugly face.

"I really wanted to see with my own eyes that whether what I've heard is true or not but alas! that stupid poor kid came at the wrong time and I missed the opportunity to see you suffer, Kim Taehyung." My jaw clenches when I think about the night when I locked Taehyung in the store room at Jungkookie's place. "I can bet fifty- thousand rupees that it was one hell of a drama. A drama that I missed. Buutt... What if I lock him here in his own shop.. Hahaha, that will be amusing. If not in that store room, then here itself."

I start walking towards Taehyung with a smirk on my beautiful face but suddenly a small figure collides with me & starts coughing right into my face. "What the--" Before I say anything further I start sneezing nonstop. I cover my nose & look up to see that girl, Taehyung's assistant.

"HOW DARE YOU COUGH AT MY FACE & how dare you come near me with a pollen filled flower. You pathetic lowclass... " I shout but end up sneezing again.

The girl flinches & tries to make up some excuses but I don't want to listen to her.

"What happened?" Its Jungkook.

"Jungkook this girl here is trying to kill me. I'm allergic to pollen but look at her audacity, she brought a flower full of pollen right in front of me." I cry out & taking the opportunity cling to his arm. I glare at the girl. "What are you looking at. Apologize to me right now."

•|End_Of_POV|•

Jungkook and Sora were talking when they suddenly heard Nitu shouting from the other side of the shop.

"Now what did she do?" Jungkook runs to look at the situation & sees Niki, Taehyung's assistant flinch after getting shouted at. She was trying to say something but couldn't because she looked afraid of Nitu.

When Jungkook asks about the situation Nitu fake cries & clinges to his arm, accusing the shaken up girl. Demanding an apology from her.

Niki with teary eyes tries to explain. "I-Im sorry madam. I didn't know you were allergic... but trust me I didn't do anything." She looks at Jungkook, trying to justify herself. "I was taking this pot to the back room for pollination but smelled something burning. So I came to check & saw her smoking. I-I just wanted to let her know that this is a no smocking area but when I came near I couldn't handle the smoke & ended up coughing. Truly, I never intend to kill you or anyone."

Jungkook could see the honestly in her eyes but before he can say anything Nitu charged towards the innocent girl. "LIE. I haven't smoked in my whole life. Look here." She lifts her hands. "Can you find any cigarette in my hands?!."

In reality when Nitu saw Jungkook coming & talking to Niki, she secretly threw the cigarette bud somewhere on the floor.

"But.. But I saw it when you were talking about locking...-" Nitu's eyes widen when she heard those lines. It means Niki heard her talking about locking Taehyung in his own shop. She clenches her fist tightly, ready to punch Niki's teeth out. "Stop sprouting nonsense, you bloody low claas."

Jungkook & Sora were too stunned to move from their place but fortunately Nitu's hand was grabbed & stopped before it made contact with the innocent girls face.

"Don't you dare try to hurt my little sister." A deep voice is heard which belongs to non other than Taehyung.

When Taehyung heard the commotion he swiftly made his way to the location. Just in time to stop Nitu from hitting Niki.

"Don't stop me Taehyung!!. This girl here put pollen in my face & even pushed me."

"No oppa. I swear I didn't push her & I didn't knew she was allergic to pollen."

"You heard her Nitu. How can anyone know that you're allergic to something if you don't tell them first. And about pushing you.... You're a full grown woman whereas Niki is a small highschool student, how can you be pushed by someone so frail." Taehyung tried to reason.

But Nitu is too arrogant to listen to any reasons. Because according to her father, you're always right if you have a higher status & people lower to them must apologize even if they are not wrong.

So holding her head high she demands. "She is wrong & she must ask for my forgiveness. A lowclass like her shouldn't talk back & just say sorry for what she did." The way she said that was full of pride & arrogance.

Jungkook, Taehyung & even Sora looked at her blankly. And Niki she was about to cry any second now. Her eyes were shaking with inferiority. She seem to be unable to meet eyes with Nitu.

That's when Niki felt a tap on her shoulder from Taehyung. He then leans forward to say something into Niki's ears. Whatever he said made Niki widen her eyes in shock, shaking her head vigorously. Her expression is so over the top that it made the other three people curious.

"Oppa! I-I can't... "

"Yes you can. Just do it & then, say sorry."

Jungkook gives him a confused look because; why is Taehyung taking Nitu's side, & asking his innocent assistant to apologize. But soon enough Nitu gasped & fell on the floor, right over her butt. Jungkook gets thrown off guard then glances at Niki who is biting her lip & giving an apologetic look to Nitu.

Nitu roared at once. "Youuuu!!! How dare you push me!!"

"Yes. How can you push her Niki. I never expected you to be sooo rude to someone ruder than you." Taehyung immediately butts in between them with an exaggerated expression on his face. He crouches beside Nitu, pretending to dust off her clothes. "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Nitu my friend are you alrighttt??? That was very bad Niki. Say sorry right now." His face shows fake anger, which didn't go unnoticed by Jungkook.

He laughs silently, finally understanding what Taehyung must have said to his assistant. "This dramatic sh*t himself is an expert in doing drama, but now he is teaching drama to his colleagues as well."

As Taehyung nods at Niki, she immediately asks for forgiveness. "I-I'm really sorry mam. Please forgive me for pushing you."

"Alright, alright. My friend Nitu has a very big heart. She ain't so petty to keep a grudge for something so trivial. Right Nitu? You forgive her right? If you don't then I as her mentor & oppa will punish her severely." Taehyung huffs & keeps his hands over his hips giving Niki a false stinky eye. His lips turned over in a weird way that almost made Niki laugh but she controlled her emotions.

Because of their commotion some people gathered there. Nitu became the center of attraction. "Y-yes yes I forgive you. Don't repeat that." Niki nods smiling then looks at Taehyung. He winks at her signaling her to go away.

"Here I'll help you." Taehyung offers his hand to Nitu but she being she, arrogantly ignores him. As she gets up something like dust falls on her head making her start sneezing again. "Opps! My hand slipped." Taehyung pouts, his hand holding a small overturned box that was full of pollen a few seconds ago.

Nitu narrows her eyes at Taehyung getting off the floor immediately. "This place is shit just like it's owner." She scowls. "I'm never coming back here. Terrible customer service. Zero stars." She grits each word, her eyes piercing at Taehyung who seems unbothered by here useless rage.

Then Nitu tried to do a graceful exit, constantly glaring back at Taehyung as she make her way towards the door. Except to her misery the door was closed making her collide into it with a thud. "Ooo are you ok? ...Nitu."

"SHUT UP!!" Taehyung saw as she moved out while rubbing her head. "Ook i will." He shrugs putting the box back at its place. Then turns around to go back at the cash counter.

"Dramatic sh--..Taehyung I--"

Taehyung's steps paused, but after taking a deep breath, he continues without sparing another glance at the voice that called him.

Successfully ignoring Jungkook.
