She was sitting on their bed...her pink lips pouted in curiosity... her brown hair tumble in disarray over her shoulders... and her round eyes followed every move of her husband who was pacing around their room, busily fixing himself while talking with someone over his phone... she just woke up... technically woke up from the impatient voice of her husband... it was still early yet he looked like he's in a great hurry to leave...
Her brows slowly connected as she heard him scolded the person over the other line... hair was still untidy; fresh from coming out from the shower... he was now seated on a chair putting on his shoes...
Just then she jumped a bit when she heard him curse after he hanged up...hesitated to approach him, she just stayed on their bed and continuously watched him in worry... clearly he didn't notice her already awake... tightly gripping on his phone before bringing up the back of his hand on his forehead and slumped on the chair he was seated at... silence instantly filled their room as he continuously stayed like that, face twisted from thinking... drown in so much stress...
"Jungkook..."
Her soft voice echoed across their room...startling him, he immediately woke him up from his trance and made him to quickly sit straight on his seat... hands dropped on both arm rests as his head darted towards their bed and found his beautiful wife looking at him with much distress in her face...
"Are you okay...?"
She asked... and just by hearing that... his once troubled expression slowly calmed... forcing himself to let out a smile... hiding his weary soul... he just don't want to see that bothered look on his wife's face...
He stood up from his seat; put his phone back inside his pants' pocket as he walked towards her... brushing out the stress in his mind... he fixed his gaze on his wife's face... despite the worry in her face... she still looked beautiful... like a lost kid with some strands of her hair sticking out from its flow... and her cherry lips slightly curled in sadness... such a waste for that one whole month for not appreciating this beauty before... but it could only warm his heart now thinking that every morning he would be able to admire her beauty... the first man who could
have a glimpse of her angel-like face... "I'm fine..."
He said softly as he sat beside her... his eyes fluttered with affection as he lifted his hand and reached for her... gently caressed the back of her head; smoothening her hair... his gaze wandered along her face... admiring every contour of her smooth skin as he smiled in himself...
But despite hearing that, she clearly knew that he's not... his eyes clearly depicted it...if only she could take away that weariness inside him... with that, her hand came to reach for his face, startling him a bit... she caressed his face...
"Please don't stress yourself too much..."
She mumbled... upon hearing it, the smile on his lips grew wider... held her hand on his face with his free hand, he brought it down on his lap before leaning down towards her and placed a long gentle kiss on her forehead...
Her furrowed brows slowly calmed... bit on her lower lip as she squeezed his hand with hers...
He smiled as he faced her again... pat her head before tapping her nose with his finger...
"You look cute when you're worried about me... but as much as I want to see it... I don't want you to get worried... especially when there's nothing to be worried about..."
He felt his intestines tied into knots upon seeing her confused face... gaze landed on her still pouting lips...he bit his lower lip to suppress himself from 'wanting' her early in the morning... realizing that he had some business that he needed to do...
With that, he gave her hand one last squeeze before he stood up from their bed... "I won't be able to attend class today because I still need to fix something at
work..."
He said as he walked back to his closet to finish fixing himself...
She could only let out an 'oh'... a bit sad that he won't be with her later... after a while stood up from their bed and went towards her closet to prepare herself as well
for school...
"Oh... before I forgot... mom and dad will be back... dad said they'll be here at dinner..."
Jungkook said as he went out from his closet and wore his coat... and upon hearing it... Rosé's face immediately beamed in happiness... she missed her in-laws just as she missed her parents...
"Really...?!"
When she turned around Jungkook was already standing in front of her, startling her...
"Yes... so no more hanging out with your friend for a while arasso... go home early..."
She looked at him wonderingly... which earned a light chuckle from her husband... "I'll call you later if I'll be able to go home early and pick you up..."
She was about to tell him that he doesn't need to... Mr. Lee can pick her up instead... but he already beat her to it as he leaned down to peck on her lips...
"I have to go now..." he whispered... all she could do was to nod...
About to turn on to his heels... he found himself stayed rooted before her... and as if he hasn't had enough... he went closer to her... making her to step back and hit her back on one of the cabinets inside her closet... he wrapped one of his arms around her waist and pulled her body to his, placing his forehead against hers to make her face him... he watched her for a while... lost in her beauty once again...
"You'll be late for your class now..."
His brown orbs were fixed into watching the curve of her lips... his free hand then reached for it and tapped the soft flesh of her lips with his two fingers... her hands came on both of his sides, holding on to him, burying her fingers on the fabric of his slacks... her breathing slowly became erratic as the beatings of her heart started to quicken...
"They are all waiting for me now..."
He mumbled once again... but between them he's likely the one who don't want to let go the most... his arm tightly wrapped along her waist, keeping her so close...
The tips of their noses brushed against each other... and after a while of pondering and playing with her lips... he had found himself again taking her lips with his... instantly closing his eyes as he savored the softness of it... his free hand immediately came to the back of her head to deepen their kiss...
She on the other hand could only hook both of her arms under his... tightly holding on to his back and shoulder, closing her eyes as well... tongues easily slipped in inside both warm wet cavern... the two flesh danced with each other without restraints... she moaned inside his mouth... enough to awaken every fibers of his desire for her...
Now drown in the bliss of their now heated kiss... he totally forgot about everything... hand started to wander around her back... about to slip it inside her shirt to touch her skin... only to be stopped when his phone started to ring... immediately bringing them both back to reality... with that, they finally broke out from their kiss...
His brow twitched as he looked at her... doesn't want to answer the call not until his Rosé pulled her arms away from him as she look away and composed herself back...
With a sigh, he got his phone inside his pocket... it was once again from their company...and with a displeased tone he told the other line that he's about to leave...
Rosé looked at him with a smile on her face as soon as he hanged up...
"You should go now..." She said as she touched his clothes and straightened it out... he let out another sigh before he gave her one last peck on the cheek...
"I'll call you..." She nodded back, still wearing that sweet smile on her face... giving her one last look before he dropped his gaze as went out of her closet... she stayed inside... listened as the door of their room opened then closed after awhile... she could only sigh... telling herself that she would still see him later...and upon remembering their kiss, the smile on her lips grew wider and her fingers immediately came to her lips to touch it... giddying like a high school girl over her own husband...
--
He turned his head to the side... eyes landed on the woman beside him... wearing a bit confused look on his face... he watched how she would gradually smile while looking afar... she would bit on her lower lip then would bow down... she looked so drown in her own world that she didn't even notice him looking at her...and just then, he felt something that suddenly prick inside his chest...seeing her smiling like that immediately created a heavy feeling inside him... felt something different behind those smiles...
His gaze slowly fell... he should feel happy seeing that curve on her lips... but instead, something's telling him that he shouldn't... especially that he's having a feeling that it's his 'friend' who's the reason behind her sudden happiness...
This past week, he used the slightest opportunity of her being sad... making her happy with his company... made use of his selfish desires and that she would need him better than her husband... he did his best... yet it still wasn't enough for her to notice it... not enough for her to even look on his way... not enough to replace the guy that she's all been thinking about... for, for that whole week... it's only today that she had completely curved out a true smile...
As much as he don't want to admit... it's clear in her that she's in-love with her husband... in-love with the man who doesn't even acknowledge her love... in-love with the man who clearly could only give her pain... and as much as he wants to take her away, she herself won't even give him a chance to do so... such irony to find her happiness from the pain the man she loves could only give her...
He darted his gaze back to her when he felt her look on his way... still wearing that warm smile on her lips... he could only stare at her... lost for words... heart's breaking yet still don't want to give up on his foolish feelings for her... for the more she won't look at his way... the more he would strive hard to make her do so... even the fact that he's just making a fool out of himself...
"What's wrong Taehyung-ssi...?"
She looked at him wonderingly... his gaze then landed on her pouting lips...sure any man would be tempted to place a kiss on it, including him...and he did it once, stole a chance of her being drown in her slumber... a secret that he would bring to grave... if only he could do that over and over again... yet he's far from having the right of doing that... such cruel fate to give that right to the man that least deserved it...
He looked away... ignoring her question; he put his earphones in his ears before folding his arms on the back of his head and leaned back against the tree...
Something had really happened between her and her husband... he's sure about it... yet can't make himself to ask her... for right in the beginning, he don't want to know even the slightest detail of it... and the fact that she doesn't even need to put it into words... for it's all clear in her eyes... screaming... pounding his mind to drop off whatever desires he has for her... that it's Jungkook... always Jungkook... could give her the happiness that he's been dying to give her...
Rosé pouted... being playful she is in front of her friend; she reached for one of Taehyung's earphones... startling the guy she put it in her ear and leaned back against the tree just like him...humming together with the music that's playing in her ear... her shoulder brushing against his... her, being so close to him... such torture to have her so close yet so far for her to even notice him...
He gritted on his teeth... jaw clenched and forehead creased as he could feel the heaviness inside his chest... swallowing the painful lump on his throat, he heaved out a sigh...
"Stop smiling at me like that..." He mumbled...
"Eh..?" She immediately looked up to him... seeing him looking away.
Just then, Taehyung turned to her, wearing an unreadable expression on his face...
"Why is it that when it comes to you... I feel like I'm the most useless person...?"
Rosé's eyes widen... slowly pulled the earphone from her... she looked at him in confusion...
"Taehyung-ah... what are you..-"
"Why can't I make you smile the way he can make you to...? No... I shouldn't be asking you that... I should first ask myself why...? Why does it need to be you...?"
Rosé stayed silent... can't figure out what he's talking about... worrying her with the now pained expression plastered on his face... for just a while ago he's fine...
"Why does it need to be you Rosé...?"
He mumbled... gaze slowly darted away... facing ahead... could only put all the blame to himself... on why does it need to be her... out of all the girls around... why does it need for his eyes want to see only her... and why does it need for his heart
wants to beat only her name...
Rosé slowly shook her head... still oblivious to her friend's words... just then, Taehyung suddenly let out a bitter soft laugh... immediately added up to the confusion in her... he turned to her... forcing his lips to curve out a smile... he reached for her head and gently tapped it...
"Why are you so small...?"
Asking her with a completely different tone from before...
"Eh...?" her brow raised... eyes widen once again when he slowly stood up from the ground...
"I need to go... still need to finish something..."
Still wearing that fake smile on his lips... and she immediately stood up when he started with his tracks... called for him but he only gave her back a wave... not even looking back...
She could only tilt her shoulder... brows curled in confusion... tried to reminisce every word that he told her earlier... yet still can't figure out why he would say those to her...
And as the distance between them slowly increased... the smile on his lips slowly vanished as well... until now, hiding his breaking self away from her eyes... for aside from being good at music... being good at hiding his feelings was also probably one of his talents...
--
Despite the busy café... despite the mixed voices of the people that were having conversations... a deafening silence enveloped the two since they came inside... no one bothered to broke it first... especially her that's been fearing to even listen to a word that the man before her was planning to say...
She looked at him, who was leaning back on his seat, gaze was fixed on his drink... surely he was lost in his thoughts...
She blinked her eyes... bit on her lower lip before looking away... she gritted on her teeth, grasping for strength... hoping to make it through this day without hearing from him what she's thinking he's about to tell her...
With that, she swallowed hard... sighed before turning to him and forcing out herself to let out a warm smile that she used to show him...
"Oppa... I missed you..."
She told him with much love in her voice... an act that hated the most yet she got used to... all just for him...
Jungkook immediately woke up from his trance and looked up to her... upon seeing that warm smile on Tzuyu's face... added up more to the heaviness he's feeling inside... she sure doesn't deserve to be in pain... yet, there he was... about to give her one...
"Tzuyu-ah..." he mumbled... voice was weak... eyes fluttered in sadness as he looked at her... Tzuyu kept up on her composure... the smile on her face never faltered...
"I... I need to tell you something..."
Hearing him stutter... a smirk slowly formed on her lips... "Are you going to break-up with me now...?"
Her tone was a bit cold... but it was her words that made Jungkook taken aback... his eyes widen a bit... and voice suddenly got caught up in his throat... that he could only look at her...
She let out a sigh... wore an unreadable expression on her face... she never set her gaze away from him...
"I'm right, am I...?" "Tzuyu-ah... it's...-"
"Do you think I would just easily let you do that to me...?"
She cut him off with a sharp statement that made him more surprised...
