Part 28

"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.

What should I do? I have to apologize for my behaviour with Taehyung earlier.. But HOW!??

I grip the ends of my hair with frustration. No ideas popping in my head. Sora is long gone because I finished talking to her. She insisted me to go to a park with her but i refused.

There is something much, much more important here; that I want to resolve than going to some stupid park.

Currently I'm sitting in one of the seats inside the shop, constantly staring at Taehyung. "Please, please just look at me once." I smile when he looks at me but immediately turns his head away, talking to some customer. I huff leaning against the chair more comfortably. "I won't leave without talking to him."

To pass some time I look around the various colourful flowers. I love flowers just like Maa. I even have a hobby of collecting specific flowers that catch my attention. I remember how in my childhood days i used to gather different flowers from my locality, make a bouquet out of them & gift it to Maa. She loved that.

"Waittt... Maybe it can work now as well." The idea pops in my head & I look around to find the flower I need. I spot Niki coming towards my direction & ask for her help. She smiles & agrees. She's such a nice kid.

I follow her around the different aisles when she suddenly confesses something. "Oppa.. Don't tell Taehyung oppa but in reality I did push that rude lady."

"What! really. But why?"

She huffs crossing her arms together. "First she smoked in our shop & second I heard her saying she wants to lock Taehyung oppa in the back room just like she did in your house."

That took me Offguard. Nitu was the one who locked Taehyung in our storeroom? When I think back, Taehyung did tell us that he didn't close the door. So it was Nitu!!.

I fist my palms as sudden anger boiled inside of me. Taehyung's pain stricken, scared face resurfacing in my memory. That innocent being suffered a panic attack because of Nitu's dumbness. I won't ever forgive her.

"Maybe you don't know but Taehyung oppa is scared of closed places." She says & I humm at her. She seems to be very close to Taehyung, that is because she has intel which only someone close to Taehyung can have. I should ask more.

"Yeah I know. By the way... How long have you been working here with him?" I start with the basics.

"6 months. I wanted pocket money to buy a J-Hope merch but my parents didn't allow any.... Sooo I searched for a place to work part time & here I am." Oh, she's a fan of Hobi hyung.

"So was Taehyung working here alone all this time?"

"Hmmm yes I think so but there was a man who would frequently visit oppa. But I haven't seen him here for a looong time.... The last he visited was maybe 2 months ago."

Well that is something new I learned about Taehyung. "And who was he? Was he a doctor?" I remember that thing Hobi said about Taehyung going to a doctor.

"No I don't think so. He was tall, broad & gigantic. He always used to wear a black jacket & cover his head with a cap. Ooo but the most beautiful feature of that man was his cute dimples. I wanted to poke my finger in them but oppa said that was rude." Niki gives out a lot of info & lastly pouts, sulking a little because she didn't get to poke the tall man's dimples.

I wanted to ask more but unfortunately we reached the place we were looking for. Niki asks if I want a bouquet made of those flowers but I refuse. "I want to prepare a bouquet myself. Can you bring me the necessities & also a pen & paper." She agrees happily providing me with everything.

I send her off then start decorating my present. After a while I move from my place, go out of the shop buy something then come back to my seat. From the corner of my eyes I can sence Taehyung starting to get curious about me. To not make myself obvious I keep my head down but eyes are monitoring Taehyung's movements.

It makes me chuckle when he cranes his neck to look at what I'm doing but to his disappointment, he gets nothing. He huffs cutely rolling his eyes. This happens two or three more times & one time I caught him staring at me. He flinches then immediately turns his head as if he was not looking at me but he was unable to hide his red embarrassed cheeks. He's just too adorable.

"I guess it's time for me to feed his curiosity." I take the present, along with the small note I wrote. Going closer to the cash counter I rub my nape nervously.

"Ahem... Taehyung?" I call but he just grunts as a response then goes back to minding his own business. "I know you don't want to hear me out, so I'll not bother you. But here is something that i made as an apology for you. Hope you can forgive me." I place the beautifully decorated & handmade bouquet on his desk then move out of the shop without another word.

Once Jungkook was out of the shop Taehyung discretely glances at the bouquet he left behind. Taking it in his hands, he examines it then takes a long wiff of the enchanting Freesia flowers.

Although Jungkook was not a professional he did a great job of wrapping the flowers delicately. He also added small, cute stickers on it. Some showing a smiley face😊, some a sorry face🥺 & others being little petals🌼 & leaves🍂.

"Oo so he went out to get these stickers.. So cute. Oh! Here's a note on it."

'Freesia'

It's Known as a flower of trust.

I'm giving it to you to say that I trust you completely. Doesn't matter the nature or kind of relationship we share.

Through these flowers I want to express my honesty & openness about the way I feel of you. And in no way I wanted to doubt you or upset you.

So I'm really, really sorry for doubting you. I promise, I trust you from my heart & will continue to trust you no matter what.

And one last thing. You shouldn't get used to such negative comments & doubtful eyes. If someone offends you, you should offend them in return. And i have no doubt that you're perfectly capable in doing that(just like you did to Nitu😉).

Taehyung read the whole note, a constant smile on his face. "Hmm... I guess I'll forgive you Mr. Bunny, because you are aware of your bad-bad behavior & because you apologized so sincerely."

With that Taehyung put the flowers on his desk in a small vase. Smiling sweetly at them. He pats the yellow petals with his finger tips, adjusting them a little. Lastly he looks left & right, secretly kissing the soft petals. "Thank you."

Unknown to him there was a certain man looking at him through the shop window. Eagerly waiting for Taehyung's reaction on his gift. Watching Taehyung kiss the flowers, he felt his throat getting dry, licking his patchy lips unconsciously.

Later on he continued on his way back home with a satisfied grin on his face and a loud raging heart, that won't stop thumping against his chest. "I'm glad dramatic sh*t forgave me without any drama. But who knows if I were to say the exact same words on my note to him directly, then he would have most probably shown me his dramatic side."

Laughing at that thought Jungkook gave a last glance to Taehyung's shop. Placing a hand over his chest. "Now you please calm down my heart. Why are you even so excited as if you'll jump out of my chest. Where do you wanna go??"

Where does Jungkook's heart wants to go?? Any idea?? 🤭

Should Tae have forgiven Kook so easily?

Also my internals are over but it's time for my external exams. I hope I can update the chapters😅. So wish me luck, I need that.

And...and... last but not the least...

💜Happy ARMY day💜 to all of you.😊🥳
