Kim Taehyung sat down on the sofa not far from the bed, opened the plastic bowl, and took a few bites without answering him. He thought of Roseanne lying beside Park Jimin just now and then of Jennie who didn't even bother to look at him and suddenly felt the porridge in his mouth was tasteless.
"In fact, Jennie is a person with a delicate mind, but she is too good at hiding her emotions," Roseanne said in a low voice as she fed Park Jimin breakfast. "I've stayed with her for awhile, so I know that although she often looks cold and aloof, she's just too protective of herself...."
She said, blowing gently in the bowl, and then asked Park Jimin with care as she fed him another mouthful, "Is it still hot?"
When Park Jimin saw Roseanne gently care about him, the smile on his face spread. The hospital bed had been raised a little, and he was now in a supine position. In contrast to Kim Taehyung whose face was dark, he looked quite happy.
Kim Taehyung suddenly felt that he had no appetite to eat.
"You still don't know why and how he got you to marry him, do you?" Taehyung sneered.
Roseanne looked at him and answered, "Are you talking about me rescuing him from the Los Angeles River a few years ago or something else?"
Kim Taehyung raised his eyebrows and looked surprised. "You know about it?"
Park Jimin casually said, "There's no need to hide."
Kim Taehyung turned his eyes to Roseanne, smiling. "Aren't you afraid that he married you to pay you back?"
Roseanne: "...He said he didn't."
Park Jimin cast a cold glance at him. "You can't coax your woman, so you're jealous of me? Are you trying to sow discord between us?"
Kim Taehyung sneered and leaned back on the sofa arrogantly, his hands casually on the back of the sofa. He looked at the loving couple who was playing the feed-and-eat game on the bed and sneered. "What do you like about her, a spoiled girl who used to be arrogant and overbearing? What is so lovely about her that you are willing to tie yourself down for the rest of your life?"
This was a good question.
Roseanne had wanted to ask it just now.
Without thinking, Park Jimin gently bit down the spoon Roseanne had just handed to his mouth and chuckled. "A sixteen-year-old girl pouted and blew up at me, saying it was her first kiss. Isn't that cute?"
"..."
Don't mention this matter again, can you?
In retrospect, she was clearly retarded at that time.
Kim Taehyung rolled his eyes. "You call that 'cute'?"
Park Jimin raised his well-shaped eyebrows and said with a smile, "She was cute when she hid from the crowd at the South Korea party to sneak in a few glasses of wine. She was cute when she heard about the arranged marriage and stopped her father's car on the street to claim that she would never marry a man she didn't love. She was cute when she cut ten or twenty holes in her wedding dress with scissors in the wedding dress center to escape the wedding. She was cute when she deliberately bent her finger at the wedding, staring at me and declaring that she could not wear the wedding ring because of her disability. She was cute when she refused to throw a flower ball at the end of the wedding, hiding behind to chew petals to vent..."
Roseanne: "..."
All of a sudden, she wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide.
Kim Taehyung deadpanned. "I was just asking."
Park Jimin said seriously, "I can count a few more reasons."
Kim Taehyung was still deadpanned. "Save it to count in your bedroom with your wife after she is three months pregnant."
Park Jimin looked at him with a look of regret. "Didn't you want to hear it just now?"
Kim Taehyung remained deadpan. "I'm going to throw up the porridge I've just eaten. No, thanks."
Seeing that they stopped talking about this subject, Roseanne tried the temperature of the porridge in the bowl and sent another spoonful to his lips. When Park Jimin looked at her, she said while her lips pursed and her face burned, "No wonder that no sooner after I destroyed the wedding dress, the Park Family airlifted a new wedding dress from France, so you had seen..."
Park Jimin laughed and asked with a smile, "Were petals delicious?"
Roseanne gave a sigh, held the bowl in one hand, and covered her face with the other as if she could not bear to recall what she had done. After quite a while, she put down her hand and tried to calm down to feed him porridge, lest the porridge accidentally spilled on him.
"What else do you want to ask me?" Park Jimin smiled, glanced at Kim Taehyung, and slowly raised his hand to push a lock of hair from the side of her cheek behind her ear.
Roseanne hurriedly turned her head slightly to avoid his hand. "Keep track of your hands."
Park Jimin smiled and put down his hands.
Kim Taehyung, sitting on the sofa, waved his hand as if his heart had been totally trashed. "I've been your brother all these years, and you haven't even said a good word about me. Were you bewitched by this woman? Was she beautiful in your eyes even when she just drank wine and ate flower petals?"
Roseanne pursed her lips.
Of course, she couldn't bewitch him.
But what she had done was actually seen by Park Jimin. Oh, she really wanted to disappear on the spot.
What a shame!
Before she fled, Kim Taehyung answered the phone and left.
Roseanne continued to feed Park Jimin porridge, and he continued to eat. It was so quiet in the ward that they could even hear a pin drop. Only, this little woman's embarrassed expression didn't match the silence.
Park Jimin looked at her.
Roseanne looked back at him, then put down the bowl and cleared her throat. "What you just said, is it true? Then what on earth... do you like about me?"
Park Jimin looked at the porridge which she had taken away and lowered his eyes to think for a moment.
"You can take it as that I am seduced by your beauty."
Roseanne resisted the impulse to roll her eyes. "There are so many beautiful women in the world. A random starlet in the entertainment circle would be beautiful. Why do you describe yourself as a superficial man?"
Park Jimin smiled. "But you're more beautiful than anyone else."
Roseanne's heart almost shivered with his smile.
She couldn't continue this talk with him! She couldn't resist his flirting anymore!
Roseanne blushed, and her throbbed beat hard. She simply couldn't resist the flirting of this big shot which was said to be cold and unapproachable.
After a few seconds, she calmed down a little. "Reason tells me that what you have seen and heard of me must be more than that. When did you find out that I was that person? I couldn't see clearly because the lamp was broken, and you couldn't keep your eyes open back then."
Park Jimin looked at her nervous and guilty look and said in a languid tone, "You mean you don't want to be responsible for that kiss?"
