"This place?". taehyung asks still unsure.
"Yes..why?Don't You like it?You will never find a place as quite as this!".Irene says while looking around.
"Yeah but isn't this supposed to be the place for...".
"huh?".
"couples?".
"Oh...yeah".Irene smiles and touches her forehead ."But we aren't a couple!".
Taehyung looks at her."I know that...but people will misunderstand!"
"Let them...Like we care!we know us better" Irene winks at him.
Taehyung smiles."Alright!".
******
"Where were you?". Wendy makes Irene sit near her.
"I was...."
Wendy interrupts her "And him?" She side eyes Taehyung who was busy writing something.
"haa...I was about to tell you this!You have to....You have to listen him singing.You are going to love it...Like...just listen...just listen to him once...I promise you...You will not regret..." .Wendy was listening peacefully until Irene's hand also started talking,earning small slaps unintentionally, Wendy had to interrupt her.
"Ok calm down calm down Irene" Wendy makes her friend sit who had now already gotten up from her seat while explaining.
"No no I am telling you...! His voice is so soothing...!".
"yeah I get it I get it...calm down first!"
"His talent must not go unnoticed Wendy...we must do something " .Irene finally stops her rant.
Wendy waits for her to go on but when she doesn't she finally speaks up.
"Are you done?"
"....."
"What are you thinking?".
"There must be some way to explore his talent!".She goes back to her thinking again.
"We will find a way...we surely will! You are so hyped up!Do you like him?".
Irene was taken aback by her direct question.
"What are you talking about?" Irene blinks several times,surprised.
Wendy doesn't say anything.
"We might have been to the place where couples meet but it doesn't mean there is something going on between us!".
Wendy couldn't believe her ears.
"You went where?!?!".
*****
After ordering a Burger and sandwich,along with some milkshake,Irene and wendy go to a nearby table.they wait for their order to be called out.
"I am so hungry!" Irene hugs her stomach.
"So you both met there to listen to his songs?!" Wendy says while laughing.
Irene looks at her fiercely now.
"You better stop now Wendy ah...he will join us in any moment now.Please don't make things uncomfortable between us!".
"Yah...I know that.i was just teasing you.haha don't mind!".
Irene smiles.
"Please don't tease about this again...I am already hungry and...Oh no!we haven't ordered anything for him!".Irene's eyes widen at the sudden realisation.
Wendy hits her forehead."Oh no!even I didn't remember!".
"but we don't know what he likes,let him come and we can order later on!".
"Hai". they both get startled at his deep voice.
"omo!"
"that scared me!"
Taehyung is shocked at their reaction.
"I am so sorry...I did not mean to scare you both!".
"Oh no you didn't!".
"I am good for nothing I know!".
"ssshhhh".
Irene's one hush silences taehyung.he looks at her.
"You have to put such bad thoughts out of your mind!".
"She is right!" Wendy speaks."You need to have self esteem ".
"...."
"What would you like to eat Kim taehyung?.
"Yes we don't know your taste,so waited for you to say it for yourself!".
"me...?.
"Yes.. say fast..we will order it for you right away!".
"Ok...I will have some chicken nuggets I guess!".
"Ok I will order it for you " Irene mutters under her teeth and goes.
Wendy was surprised by her sudden change of voice.
"What's wrong with her!".
Irene brings the food.They finish it silently.
"So...I heard you sing?" Wendy tries to start a conversation.
"Huh...? uhmm..yeah I do...but I am not very good at it!" .Taehyung says while looking down.
"Are you for real?".Irene gasps in shock.
"Please don't exaggerate!" Taehyung whispers in his pleading tone.
"Ok...look Taehyung ".Irene turns to taehyung.But he still looking at the floor."I know that you are not confident in yourself.But if you give yourself a chance,then I will sure you are gonna overcome you fear.You are just under estimating your voice,And honestly I have never heard anyone play guitar like you do...".
Taehyung slowly looks at her.Wendy was smiling and enjoying their conversation.
"So,All you need is one step.Just one.Step up and show them what you got!You are not behind any fame but your talent is such to be appreciated. I believe in you !"
They have a mini staring competition. But Irene is the one to break the eye contact first.
"I mean...Wendy does too...right Wendy?". Irene points at Wendy.
Wendy who was smiling stops at her sudden question and shakes her head violently.
"Yes yes...! I believe in you too!".
"You guys are really sweet!".Taehyung wipes his happy tears.
"So why don't we start it here itself?" Irene says in excitement."You brought your guitar too,come on play for us!".
Taehyung looks at her in horror.
"Where?".
"here!".
"No"
"why?".
"There are so many people"
"It's just 9-10 members!".
"I am really nervous, I can't see so many eyes on me!".
"Then close your eyes!'
"What?".
"Yes...that way,you won't be able to see the people staring at you!".
"but...".
"Irene is right taehyung...Just close your eyes! Wow I am really excited to hear you!".
"Come on,You can do it Kim Taehyung!".Irene smiles at him while saying that."Fighting".
Taehyung makes up his mind.He takes out the guitar and puts it on his neck. He closes his eyes and is ready to sing.
