Taehyung found himself getting driven off to somewhere unknown, out of the city population, to a much calmer portion of the state.
Among the many hotels and resorts in the far end stood a vacation house. It would not be wrong to call it a bungalow but it was smaller compared to one.
There was a small shade for parking and Seoyeon parked the car before taking out a bunch of keys which Taehyung assumed were for the different cupboards or drawers of the house because it didn't seem to have more than 4 rooms.
"Why is it so clean? You said this is only for vacations." Taehyung quizzed.
" A few days before I met you, work load was exceptionally high and I was stressed out, so I came here to relax and also took the opportunity to clean it. " She answered calmly while handing out the keys to Taehyung.
" I will just settle this area a bit and till then you can check out the rooms and select one for yourself." She added and proceeded to remove the plastic covers from the sofa.
"I would rather like to help you here." Taehyung stated to which the girl just let out a sigh.
" I can do it myself-
" I insist."
Seoyeon now had nothing more to say therefore she thought it prudent to just nod a little.
The cleaning session was a rollercoaster for both of them. While Taehyung kept stealing frequent glances at Seoyeon and she, busy with work kept ignoring him.
It was vice versa about fifteen minutes later where Taehyung, busy with work looked ethereal and sweat beads covered his face and his bangs stuck on his forehead. Seoyeon couldn't help but stare at angelic being infront of her.
"What? Can't get over how handsome I am?" He chuckled lightly while keeping the last frame on the table.
Seoyeon was snapped out of her thoughts and had nothing to say but what would she answer to her egoistic subconscious?
"Handsome, and you? Even a cockroach would be more handsome considering how big a potato you are." She sassed as she slammed the dusting cloth on the couch before going up the stairs with a smirking Taehyung following closely behind.
It was getting darker and Seoyeon switched on the slow lights of the house and the garden which was earlier lit by the fireflies.
Taehyung on the other hand just wandered about checking out the beautiful lit place when he came across a small swimming pool.
Seoul
Sehun sipped on his whiskey as he threw the glass at the mirror infront of him.
Irritated at his pathetic state he screamed his lungs out, hearing which Leo, his trusted person came in.
"Get That Bitch Right Here!" He screamed which made the opponent flinch.
"We have sent men to look in every corner of the country for her but it seems like she vanished in thin air."
Just then a peculiar ringtone filled their ears and Sehun glared at the man in anger.
Afraid of facing the consequences, Leo ran out of the room to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"I have news."
At the vacation house:
Seoyeon had just come out of the shower, still in her bathrobe she stood in her balcony to admire the peaceful night sky, something that she couldn't do for quite a long time.
That is when she heard sounds of water splashing and looked down.
Taehyung was waving at her and motioning for her to come down.
She hesitated a bit but later went in, got changed and went down to find the man waiting patiently for her.
She went ahead and sat at the edge and Taehyung swam across from the other side.
"Would you like to join?"
He asked to find the girl look away followed by a soft "no thanks".
"It always better to have company when you're sad."
"I am not sad" she defended.
"You are. It's visible in your actions, words and face. More like worried about the consequences of you running away?" He predicted.
Seoyeon could not deny the fact that this man was right and had interpreted her mood quite correctly.
Under the gibbous moonlight, the duo relaxed as they spoke. Spoke about the situation, about them, about how hectic life currently was.
"I think you should be happy that you are with me" he stated
"What's so good about you? I am unlucky enough to have been stuck with you."
"Ow" Taehyung acted while grabbing his chest.
"You broke my heart."
Seoyeon laughed lightly at this overreaction.
"But seriously though, would you be happy if you married Yoongi?"
Seoyeon stayed silent before muttering a small "thank you" and smiling softly at the man.
"Woah I wasn't expecting that. But why?"
"Thank you for helping me escape from that hell of a place and making me understand my worth. My worth is much more than just getting married to some random person not of my choice and produce kids like a machine. I wouldn't have realised my worth, had it not been for you confessing-"
She stopped as she looked at the person opposite her before bursting out into loud giggles.
"What?" Taehyung spat. "My feelings are genuine!" He defended.
He splashed water on the laughing girl who eventually stopped in her actions.
"I was just joking"
"Whatever it might be. You cannot make fun of my feelings."
"But why did you splash water on me? I just dried my hair-"
"Well you deserved it." Taehyung commented as he made and attempt to run.
"Where are you running you little rat?" Seoyeon shouted before splashing water at him in a much larger quantity.
"Hey!" He retorted and soon it was transformed into a water war.
Giggles and screams filled the garden as the duo played not until it turned stark silent.
It was when Taehyung put his arms on the pool walls with Seoyeon in the middle preventing her from escaping.
"Where are you going to run hmm?" He asked, his voice deep yet soft as if meant only for her to hear.
He paused before continuing again. "Now that I have been reminded of my feelings, I have been waiting alot to hear those words from you."
"There are no words for it" she answered softly.
"Why so?"
"Because..." She said as she slowly took the opportunity to move Taehyung's arms.
"Your feelings.."
"My feelings?" He repeated.
"Are a joke!" She said quickly and attempted to get out of the pool, not until Taehyung grabbed her arms and pulled her before placing his lips on her.
At this moment Seoyeon felt a rush of adrenaline inside her which burnt her cheeks red. A rush of emotions all together and she knew where this was going.
That split second felt like heaven to her and for once she wanted to be selfish and feel the warmth that Taehyung was providing her with.
But as soon as she closed her eyes he pulled away and stared at the girl intently as of staring into her soul.
"Last time was a dick move by me and a part of me felt guilty but if this is how it should feel then I am ready to repeat the mistake infinity number of times." He said while caressing her lower lip with his thumb before leaving.
