Part 30

The person turns around & my heart blooms with happiness.

"Here, water for you."

I gladly take it from his hands, my smile breaking all boundaries of excitement.

"Thanks dramatic sh*-.. Tae."

I'll add a song here for better imagination. (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠)💜💚

"Tae? Who is Tae, sir?"

Jungkook gets startled when the other person asks this question. He quickly rubs his eyes then takes a good look at the person who offered him water just now.

She is a newly recruited maid who started working in the Jeon household a few days back. She is also here to provide aid with Jimin & Yoongi, currently staying with them.

"Ah! No-- no one. I'm going. Thanks for the water." Jungkook said & takes his leave. On the way back to his room he thought... 'why did I imagine Taehyung handing me the water?'. Shrugging his shoulders he gets in bed ready to sleep.

One hand behind his head acting as a head support & the other hand over his stomach. He looks at the grey ceiling thinking of what to do next. "How do I get Taehyung to talk about his past without looking like an intruder in his life?"

He thinks & thinks but sleepiness gets the best of him & he falls into slumber.

(Next Day)

As light hits my face I groan & slowly open my eyes to welcome a new morning. Still a bit sleepy I turn to my right, only to witness the most amazing view early in the morning.

Taehyung sleeping right next to me. His face & eyes are covered with his messy mop of hair but I can still see his pink pouty lips. His cheeks hold a natural blush & also look so fluffy like freshly baked bread.

I can't help but bring my hand next to him in an attempt to remove the stray fringes away from his face so that I can get a better look at this beauty.

"Bunny get the fcuk up or I'll beat your ass." I jump & look towards my door when Maa barged inside. She stares at me for a good minute then shakes her head as if disappointed in me. 'Now what did I do?'

"At the age of hugging a wife, my son is hugging his pillow....such a shame. See bunny, that's why I always tell you to get married fast... You're all over that poor pillow. Stop harrassing it & get down for breakfast." Saying her sweet words she closed the door with a loud bang.

"Pillow? What pillow?" I look to my right & sure enough I am hugging my pillow. "Huh! What the!?, where did Taehyung go? Was I dreaming?" I scratch my head, getting up from bed.

Skipping down the stairs I bump into someone but quickly grab their wrist to prevent them from falling back. "Are you ok.. Taehyung!?"

"From which angle do I look like Tae to you?"

"Huh!! Oh Jimin"

"Yes me. Now let go of my hand, kook."

I was about to leave his hand but notice the white suite that he's wearing & again I get reminded of Taehyung. Because it's the one that Taehyung especially designed for Jimin & gifted him. 'What's wrong with me?? Why am I seeing Taehyung everywhere??'

"What's your deal kook? Why did you call me Tae? Can't you see this big bloated tummy of mine?"

I have no answer.

"I-I don't know. I'm hallucinating Taehyung everywhere." I stutter.

"Oooo. Taehyung huhhh...Maybe you're missing him. But the real question is why are you missing Tae. Hmm hmm tell me?" Here goes his teasing. I roll my eyes avoiding him & his question. "Hey! Where are you going. Tell me."

"It's nothing, ok. I'm hungry I'm heading for breakfast bye."

Even after hearing me, Jimin kept annoying me for the whole time I did my breakfast. Saying Taehyung this.... Taehyung that.

"It's not me but you who is missing that dramatic sh*t Jimin."

"Haa, you're right me & ladoo miss him sooo much. When will he come back?"

"I don't know."

"Then I'll call him & ask myself." Saying so he really video called Taehyung. Which reminds me I don't have Tae's contact number.

"Hey soulmate we miss you sooo much. Give ladoo a big kiss, comeon."

They are having quite a conversation. I try to peek at Jimin's phone to get a glimpse but I can't. After some time the door bell rings & Jimin literally throws his phone at me & runs towards the gate, yelling. "My MAN is here .. everyone move aside I'll open the door for him."

'Haaa... When will he quit running like that?'

"Hello.... hello Jimin, anyone there?"

I grab hold of the phone finally witnessing the real Taehyung, this time. And for a very good reason I feel my stomach getting filled with numerous butterflies. I know this feeling, what it means & to tell the truth I'm loving this feeling.

"You're looking ethereal like always."

"Huh! What? I didn't hear you properly."

Shit!! I said that out loud!!

"Ah . Ah ... It's me... Jeon J-Jungk-ook. Hello."

"Haha I know that Mr.Bunny. Where did Jimin go?"

"Who cares... I-I mean I don't know."

"Soooo?"

God why is it so awkward??

I heave a sigh, smiling warmly at him. "Hey I want to ask something."

"What?"

"Are you free today? Let's hang out."

"Woah! Hanging out with a big celebrity like you... I feel honoured."

"No it's me who is honoured." I whisper to myself. "So yes or yes?" He laughs his beautiful laughter at me with cheeks showing hints of red on them. Suddenly I feel proud to make him laugh as well as make him blush at the same time.

"Hmm... I guess I'll go with the first option... Yes. Let's meet in the evening at my shop. You know the location right?"

"I have it memorized."

"Good then see you. Bye."

Please don't say bye so early. I want you to stay a bit longer. Talk with me some more. But all I can say for now is... "Bye." I'll free up all my time to spend it with you. But I guess it can wait until I win your trust.

***********

As I drive my car, my gaze fell on a bangle shop. And with this I remembered him once again. Today every small or big thing reminded me of him and I'm in love with the fact that it's his face. Taehyung's face.

I look around all these colourful bangles, fascinated at how they shine in the bright light & make the most beautiful sound when I hold them in my hands.

I just couldn't help myself when my mind pictures a certain someone wearing these. Playing with them & just being himself. I bet my entire fortune on the fact he will look amazing in each & every piece that's piled here.

"These will look soo good on Taehyung."

To my left were a pair of black bangles & remember the first time I met Taehyung in his shop. The sound of his twinkling bangles ringing in my ears.

"Excuse me. Can I have those." I ask the lady.

"Sure son. What size will that be?"

'Size?... '

"About this much." I form a circle with my hands. Trying to explain the size of Taehyung's wrist. With all the times I held his hand I'm sure his wrist is quite thin & fragile.

The lady laughs & mumbles something along the lines. "Aww, newly married couples are so cute." Making me flustered. After a while she hands me the bangles in a small wooden box. "Here son. I hope these will fit your wife."

I almost choke at her words but without correcting her I ask instead. "How can you tell I'm buying these for my wife?"

She again smiles & points around. I look as most of her customers are actually men. "You see all these men. All of them are here to get bangles for their loved ones. But you can see a certain difference in the ones that are recently married."

I try to find what she's pointing at. "The men who have been married recently, do not known the size of their wives hands. But to make their partner smile & be comfortable with them they're willing to try gifting something small but precious. They want their wives to warm up to them in this new relationship & I find that soo cute & adorable."

She's right, now I can easily differentiate between all these men. The recently married ones seem to be confused but they hold a special confidence in them that their choice will make their partner happy. And their faces are also glowing in a special red glow. Maybe imagining their partner's reaction.

'Do I look like them?'

'But I'm not m-married to Taehyung!! & Why the hell am I stuttering in my mind?'

"Ahem... Thanks I'll take them." She chuckles & turns to get the bill but I stop her asking for another pair that suddenly caught my eyes. She happily obliges, packing them all for me.

"Please visit us again & make sure to bring your wife next time." The lady smiles at me as I leave her shop. A permanent blush on my face & ears a tone of red.

"I hope Tae likes my first gift as friends."

********

I push open the flower shop's door. My eyes searching for the person I've been longing to see from the morning. Now no more hallucinations can stop me from meeting the real person.
