Once Upon A Time In Paris

Guardian Angel

She sits right there on the floor and groans out loud. Taehyung finally comes out of the room, rubbing his eyes and without a t-shirt on

Jisoo looks at him and she gets paranoid

"DID he send the box?" she says  "No way. There is no way that taehyung knows the truth. It doesn't make sense. In fact her guts tell her that out of evryone taehyung is the only one she can trust"

But isn't the timing a bit funny? The box arrives exactly when he was sleeping and now that she has finally read it, he wakes up. Was he awake all this time?

"Jisoo-- what happened?" Taehyung runs to her seeing all the blood

"I broke a glass and stepped on it" she replies unable to stand up

"Are you kidding me? Why didn't you call me?" he says and kneels down to check her feet

"You were sleeping and I didn't want to disturb you" Jisoo pouts

Taehyung immediately pick her up in his lap and this makes Jisoo blush..

"I can walk" she says

"Yeah sure. Just tell me that you wanted to get in my lap" Taehyung says jokingly as he walked towards the couch

"haha very funny, that is the last thing I wanted" Jisoo replies knowing that she is lying through her teeth

"Well that's sad because so many girls would die to be in my lap" he says and places her on the couch

"You're thinking about other girls now?" Jisoo replies being jealous

"I've been thinking about a single girl for the past few months and that is enough, one is enough" Taehyung replies

She again blushes at this, he is so good with his words.

"I'll bring the first aid box, how can you be so careless? It must hurt like crazy, from now on you are not allowed to go to the kitchen. I'll hire someone who'll do your job for you" he says while coming back with first aid

"It's fine I was just distracted"

"wih what?"

"No---nothing. I had a nightmare so it messed with my brain. It was just an accident" she replies

Taehyung looks at her "Nightmare? Regarding what?" he asks

"Umm--- I don't remember anymore" Jisoo tries to cover up

"Next time you have a nightmare or any bit of inconvenience, just reach out to me, it doesn't matter if I am sleeping or if I am busy, I'll always be free for you" he says while taking the pieces of glass off

Jisoo screams in agony while he does so. But this pain is nothing compared to what she felt in her dreams. She doesn't want this man to find the truth out, she doesn't want him to ever know about her truth

"Did you speak with your dad?" Jisoo asks as taehyung is busy treating her legs

"No, i didn't. He left me some messages asking to meet up with me. I am just not ready, how will I face him? I just destroyed what he built for ages and I don't think that the guilt will let me go in front of him again"

"It was not your fault babe . It was Irene's. And Sehun's company won with your idea, that alone is enough proof that your idea was brilliant, so much so that she stole it for Sehun. You should be proud" Jisoo says

"How do you see positivity in eeverything?" Taehyung asks her

"That's just me.. Umm I had one question" Jisoo says

"yeah?"

"What are you doing to do about Irene? i mean as far as I know her family still wants the two of you to be together" Jisoo says

"Nothing. I am going to meet up with her father today and cut ties with their company formally. I don't think that I can still keep the partnership going with what his daughter did to my company. I can sue them but I am choosing not to do so for the sake of previous engagements but I am going to cut ties once and for all" he replies

"Will Irene be there too when you do so?" Jisoo asks

"Yes, she has to. She needs to take accountablity of her actions in front of her father" Taehyung replies

"Then I want to go too" Jisoo replies.

"huh? Why? What are you going to do there?" Taeyung smiles at Jisoo's sudden wish

"If I ask you for something will you give it to me?" Jisoo says nevously

"anything for you. What do you want?" he replies

"I want you to take me with you and lay things out in the open. That you love me and not their daughter, I want you to claim me in front of her and her family, I want you to draw the lines clear between you and her and I want it done in front of everyone, her family and yours" Jisoo says

Taehyung finishes dressing her up and after hearing what she just said, he closes the first aid box and sits beside her. He takes her hands and lightly squeezes them as a sign of reassurance

"I know I didn't treat you nice all these time and I know you want everyone to know what you mean to me and trust me after things cool down a bit, I'll make sure to let the entire world know that you are the one that my heart belongs to. But today, I don't know if that is a good idea. Irene is very fragile and yesterday was a huge blow to her, as much as I hate it, she is still someone I know since childhood and it'll be too cruel of me to take you to her house" he says

"That is exactly what I want. These cruel people deserve every bit of it" Jisoo says to herself

"I know what you're saying but please see from my perspective too. You are going to a house where everyone wants you to be with her and not me. And taking me there might hurt her but it is for the better. isn't it better to draw the lines clear out in front of everyone than leaving things on a hazy note?" Jisoo says

"And I can have a heart to heart conversation with Irene too. maybe I can make her realize the reality that Iwant nothing but her happiness. Please take me with you" Jisoo replies

"You are one stubborn fiance" Taehyung replies

Jisoo does a cute puppy eye gesture at him and he melts

"Woman you have no idea what you're doing to me. I can jump off a cliff if you tell me, that's the amount of control you have over me. Fine, I'll take you with me" taehyung sreplies

Jisoo squeeks like a little kid or she pretends to becase she can not show how nervous and scared she is. Taehyung leans in to kiss her lips, he has been resisting the urge to do so since he woke up

"I'll let no one hurt you. I am your fiance, your lover, your friend and your guardian angel"

Jisoo smiles nervously and her hand freezes at the last word: Guardian Angel. Is she becoming way too paranoid or is she kissing her killer?

Jisoo will go to her father's house, for the first time. She needs to hurry and feels that she'll get more clarity about Jag-eun over there. At least she has to start somewhere.. Clarity, that is all she needs right now

But clarity is not always in your favour, clarity is just the truth and truth is always bitter
