Taehyung looked at the clock on his sidetable.

It was almost 11 pm.

Why can’t he hear anything from Jisoo’s room?

She would usually drop something or walk around her room at this time but ever since he came home earlier, he hasn’t heard anything yst.

Did she fall asleep already?

But she usually sleeps after midnight.. he knows that..

He knows how she pretended to have fallen asleep already whenever he came home to sleep beside her.. he was aware of it..

A few days passed since Jisoo came to the company and she seemed to have been more quiet than how she already was..

He got up and went out of his room to check on her immediately.

He found himself standing in front of her room.

Why isn’t there any movement inside? Is she even there? What if she stayed out and didn’t tell him? Shouldn’t she at least tell him where she’s going?

He put his ear on the door to try to hear better but he couldn’t hear anything..

He sighed as he stared at her door.

She must be doing this on purpose after what happened at the company..

He turned around slowly and found Jisoo standing before him looking confused.

“W-when did you come?” he asked stuttering. 

“Just now..” said Jisoo puzzled.

Taehyung noticed she was wearing outdoor clothes.

Then was she really outside all day and didn’t tell him?

“Where are you coming from?” he asked clearing his throat still embarrassed of getting caught.

“I was.. with your mom and my mom..” said Jisoo softly.

Taehyung knit his brows together.

With their mothers? Why?

His mom didn’t tell him either.

“Did you have dinner together?” he asked curiously.

Jisoo bit her lower lip.

They did have dinner but.. the reason she went to meet them was because..

“What is that?” asked Taehyung pointing at what she was carrying.

Jisoo cleared .

If she told him their moms brought her to see a doctor to check if she was pregnant, he would be shocked, right?

They even brought her some tonic and vitamins..

“Just.. some tea..” she said feeling shy.

Taehyung remained silent for a moment.

“Then.. go to sleep..” he said lowering his gaze.

Jisoo nodded.

“But.. will you not move away from there?” she asked hesitantly.

Taehyung’s brows furrowed.

Move away from where?

“That’s my room..” said Jisoo pointing behind him.

Taehyung faked a cough.

That’s right.. it’s her room..

“I was about to go..” he said whispering to himself as he quickly went back to his room beside hers.

Jisoo turned her head towards his room and smiled a little.

Isn’t this the first time he talked to her at home?

He must not have put any meaning behind it.. he must not have even thought about it..

Their conversation was short.. but she felt great..

———————-

“What is it about this time?” Jimin sounded irritated as he talked with Jhope on the phone. “What? You got yourself a new girlfriend?”

He shook his head in disbelief.

Jhope just called him to invite him to a dinner party he prepared for his new girlfriend that night.

Does he even need to celebrate it? And why can’t he just throw a party for his girlfriend alone? It doesn’t make sense that he is also inviting other people..

“What? Taehyung and Jennie will come too?” he had to repeat it again for it to sink in.

Jimin heaved a sigh.

Taehyung must be the most evil man.. why did his cousin become like this?

He was such a great man until he lost his mind for Jennie..

Is he sane? He’s leaving his wife at home to go to a party with another woman?

“Alright.. I’ll think about it..” he said before hanging up.

And a few moments later, he heard the doorbell ringing.

Who could it be at this time of the day?

He was still in his pyjamas when he opened the door and found the postman before him.

“There’s a package for Kim Taehyung..” said the man handing him a paper and a pen.

Jimin sighed.

Did his cousin just send a package to his house? Why? Because he didn’t want to send it to his new house? And he didn’t want to send it to his parents’ house fearing they would notice he’s mistreating his wife..

But couldn’t he have told him in advance?

And what’s with this big box? Is he moving out or what?

He tried calling Taehyung several times but his phone seemed to have been turned off..

That guy.. he always turns it off when he’s with Jennie..

He had no choice but to deliver it himself to his house.

And he was surprised to see Jisoo looking so beautiful from head to toe.

“What brings you here?” asked Jisoo looking confused. “Taehyung isn’t here.. and I don’t know when he’s coming back..”

Jimin had to slap himself to regain his sanity.

Why does she look so pretty? She was wearing makeup and some nice clothes making her look like a princess.

And her shoes..

He smiled seeing her wear mismatched slippers.

Jisoo gasped.

“I was in a hurry to open the door.. that’s why..” she said feeling embarrassed again.

She must be crazy.. why is she always taking the wrong shoes and slippers?

“I need to drop a package for Taehyung..” said Jimin clearing his throat. “May I come in? The package is quite heavy..”

Jisoo smiled before nodding her head.

Jimin looked around the garden and noticed the flowers have bloomed already.

“I guess you’ve been taking care of your garden really well..” he said turning to her.

Jisoo smiled again.

“Maybe because I’ve been talking with them more often..” she said whispering to herself.

Jimin chuckled.

She just said she talks to the flowers..

And as soon as he entered the house, his mouth started watering.

The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.

Is she having a feast or what?

“I’m sorry.. I didn’t know you were having lunch.. I must have disturbed you..” said Jimin feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Jisoo lowered her gaze.

“Are you perhaps waiting for a guest? Are your parents joining you for lunch?” Jimin continued asking seeing there was too much food on the table.

Jisoo looked at him and shook her head.

“Today.. is.. my birthday..” she replied shyly. 

Jimin had a lot to say but words wouldn’t come out of his mouth.

So his cousin doesn’t even know it’s his wife’s birthday today and he went out to play with another woman?

And this innocent woman is waiting for him uselessly?

She must have prepared all this food thinking Taehyung would at least have lunch here..

“I’m sorry.. I should have at least bought something on my way here..” said Jimin in panic.

Jisoo shook her head.

“No.. I didn’t mean to put it that way..” she said lowering her gaze to the floor.

Jimin scratched the back of his head.

Why is this so awkward? Did he really have to come today of all days?

“Well.. happy birthday..” he said softly not knowing what to do.

Jisoo slowly lifted her gaze to hi
