Second Chance (Taekook)

CHAPTER - 23

"Then I have to plan a gift for you too, I already have gift ready for Mi Kwan. But don't worry, you both will love the gift." Taehyung said so sincerely that Yuchen almost believed him but the deviousness in his eyes made her wary of him.

That look in his eyes send a shiver down her spine that she hurriedly left his cabin.

'Taehyung is up to something, something which is not good for me. But what exactly? I have to do something. I have to stop whatever he is planning' Yuchen thought as she was walking towards Mi Kwan's office.

Taehyung laughed seeing her lithe figure running away.

"Don't tell me that is going to be your gift for them." Jimin questioned excitedly.

"You know me so well. Yes that is going to be their gift" Taehyung winked at him. And with that Jimin also joined in his laughter. Both very much excited to see what is going to be the gifts receivers reaction.

After sometime Jimin phone buzzed, he saw it was a message from company staff.

"That fucker."

"What happened?"

"Our name is removed from the list of guests for his birthday party."

"That Yuchen is not that dumb as we thought her to be. Don't worry whether we go there or not, they will receive our gift. But we will be there, enjoying their facial expression after they will see our gift" Taehyung replied as he winked at Jimin.

"What are you planning to do?"

"I don't know. But I will definitely find a way for both of us to enter the party. Just wait and watch Jiminie and get ready to attend the party. For the name sake it's their party but the party night will be ours." Taehyung said as he picked up the contract and started carefully reading it.

Jimin was about to question him more but was stopped by the sound of Tae's phone ringing.

"Ggukie" Taehyung quickly answered the call after seeing that the call was from Jeongguk. Jimin just shook his head and left the cabin knowing very well that now Taehyung will not pay attention to anything else.

"Wait Ggukie didn't I tell you to not call me when you have work. Are you again abandoning your work ? Why don't to listen to what I say?" Taehyung rambled which ended up in a whine.

"Baby I was free. I don't have any meetings left for today that's why I called you. Don't worry I'm not abandoning my work." Jeongguk calmly explained.

Taehyung got flustered after hearing 'Baby' from Jeongguk. Yes, he had been called baby by Jeongguk before but all the times it was in messages. This was for the first time he had actually heard that word and that's the reason he got shy.

"Okay." Taehyung silently mumbled still feeling shy.

"And what were you doing?"

"Planning"

"What Planning Tae?"

'Shit get control of yourself Tae and think of an excuse quickly' he scolded himself for blurting out that.

"Oh actually I just received the news that Mi Kwan is banning me from his birthday party, my name has been written off from the list of guests." Taehyung said.

"You want to go to that party?" Jeongguk casually asked.

"Yeah. Don't think that I'm going to the party for that Mi Kwan. Its just that I want to go there to give him a gift, that's all." Taehyung explained fearing that maybe Jeongguk will think otherwise.

"You can go with me. Be my date?" Jeongguk simply asked in his soothing voice.

"You are invited?" Taehyung asked shocked as from what he knows Mi Kwan hate Jeongguk. Why would he invite him to his birthday party.

"Yeah. Jang family has always invited Jeon family, it's just that we never attended their parties. Birthday party is just for the name Tae, they invite every rich and reputed families to show off their connections or built new connections. Nothing is genuine in business world, they will do everything for their profits" Jeongguk explained calmly as if it was nothing new.

"But Our family is nothing like that Ggukie." Taehyung replied which filled Jeongguk's heart with unexplainable warmth. Taehyung said 'Our Family' not My or Yours and 'Family' not families, as if he considers both Kim and Jeon family as one single family.

"Yeah Our family is not like that. So Mr. Kim will you be my date for tomorrow's party?" Jeongguk teased.

"Not very romantic of you Mr. Jeon." Taehyung continued.

"Do you a romantic proposal?" Jeongguk asked, this time voice sincere.

"No, not for this one Ggukie. But in future I do want a romantic proposal." Taehyung said.

He really didn't want any romantic proposal for this date when he knew that going to this party is a part of his revenge plan. He did not want to remember his first proposal as a part of his revenge. He did not want to taint anything related to their love with the colour of revenge and his hatred.

"Okay. You will get a surprise proposal in future."

"I'm waiting."

"Tae I will talk to you later. I have to go somewhere. I'll pick you for party at 6PM." Jeongguk said

"Okay. Bye Ggukie. Take care and don't overwork yourself. And don't forget to eat lunch."

"Yes sir." Jeongguk joked and hanged up the call.

'Just wait Mi Kwan. Your downfall has just started.' Taehyung thought as he busied himself with the contracts.
