Who Gets To Marry Worlds Enigmatic Bachelor?(Taekook) Episode 3

Back to story

The only light cramped space came from the slight space around the door. With a sharp tug on the string,he switched on the overhead light. A mistake,that,he mused. The single light bulb made Taehyung’s expression more fierce.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

*Gathering his calm,Jungkook met his gaze.* Uncle Soobin—

Kim Taehyung (ml)

*Taehyung cut him off with a wave of his hand.* I know. Soobin Ajushii’s sick. He asked you to stand in. You haven’t answered my question, though. I want to know why you agreed.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

I’d do anything for him. He was very worried that he—

Kim Taehyung (ml)

Couldn’t be here. *Taehyung moved a step closer.* you told me. But Soobin Ajushii told me that you almost never supervise parties yourself. You leave that to your assistant. *His eyebrows drew closer together.* Cha Eunwoo—.

He could almost see the gears turning in his brain.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

Most of the times. * Jungkook said *

Kim Taehyung (ml)

* Taehyung’s nod was short.* That’s right. You run the business and assist your clients with event planning, but he handles the events on site. Isn’t that right?

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

Uh—

Kim Taehyung (ml)

* He nodded.* It’s right. So I want to know why you made an exception in my case.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

Well, I—

Kim Taehyung (ml)

Why did you decide that this particular event needed your personal touch?

Gritting his teeth in frustration, he resisted the urge to tell him it was rude to interrupt.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

I knew uncle Soobin was particularly worried about not being here, and that he’d rest easier if he knew I was.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

* He frowned.* is that what he told you?

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

Not in so many words, but he was very agitated about missing this event.

Taehyung watched him through-lidded gaze.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

Is that the only reason?

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

*He swallowed* What other reasons would there be?

He raised one hand to rest on his shoulder. Slight pressure of his fingers eased him closer to him.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

I don’t know Jungkook. You tell me.

* Jungkook’s breathing turned shallow. He couldn’t possibly know the effect he was having on him—the effect he always had on him. By design, he saw Taehyung rarely. Most of what he knew about Taehyung, he knew from his uncle. He stayed of his way whenever possible simply because he had this ability to melt his bones.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

Taehyung, I—

Kim Taehyung (ml)

* His fingers tightened.* Damm it, *he whispered.*

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

What’s wrong with you?

Kim Taehyung (ml)

Damn it, *he said again.*

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

Taehyung—?

Taehyung’s eyes drifted momentarily shut. When they open again, Jungkook saw the resolve in them.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

I want you to stay here this weekend.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

* Jungkook blinked. Oh, Lord. Not that.* Excuse me?

Kim Taehyung (ml)

You heard me. I want you to stay here.

Jungkook knew him that much. No explanations. No common sense argument. Direct, and straight to the point. What Taehyung wanted, he was used to getting. He’d been afraid of this when he’d spoke to his uncle. Taehyung got a lot to be done this weekend. He’d want to make sure someone was covering for Uncle Soobin. He couldn’t know that three uninterrupted days with him would shrink Jungkook into a bowl of nerves.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

I don’t think—

Kim Taehyung (ml)

There’s twenty bedrooms in this mansion, not including the guest quarters where Soobin Ajushii usually stays when we’re out here. You could have the apartment to yourself.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

Really, I—

Kim Taehyung (ml)

Your staff is going to stay, aren’t they?

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

* He reached for his patience.* Not all of them. Only the few that I’ll need for early morning. You have an ample household staff to cover whatever happens during the night. You won’t need any extra help until your guests start moving around tomorrow.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

I want you to stay

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

* He stifled a groan.* I know you—

He leaned closer to Jungkook and said, with a soft insistence that curled his toe.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

I’m serious.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

* He couldn’t decide what he meant by that.* I can see that.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

Soobin Ajushii would want you to stay.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

It’s uncle Soobin’s job to stay.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

He won’t like it if you leave.

Jungkook recognized the lightening-fast change in strategy. He wasn’t getting his way bullying him, so he’d switched to guilt as a maneuvering tactic.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

He doesn’t like being sick,either, but he is. I had planned to stay with him tonight.

Taehyung eased his hand down his arm to cup his elbow. There was something oddly intimate about the slight heat of his fingers seeping through his jacket.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

I appreciate your concern about your uncle. I’ll send someone over to take care of him

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

* Jungkook felt himself losing ground.* I really feel I should check on him myself.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

He told you to stay here, didn’t he?

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

I think you can understand why Uncle Soobin would want—

Kim Taehyung (ml)

Didn’t he? * Taeh prompted.*

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

* Jungkook gave a sigh of irritation. Taehyung knew his uncle well.* Yes.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

Then what’s the problem? *Taehyung persisted.*

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

* Jungkook frowned at him.* Uncle Soobin doesn’t run my life, you know?

Kim Taehyung (ml)

He runs mine pretty well.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

And he can’t right now. He needs someone, and I want to be there for him.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

By driving home at two o’clock in the morning? Do you have any idea what kind of people are on the road at that hour?

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

Overworked caterers who are being harassed by their clients?

Kim Taehyung (ml)

* His scowl darkened his features.* Drunks and criminals.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

I’ll be careful.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

* He uttered a mild curse.* It’ll be almost four when you get there. You’ll get three hours sleep and then drive back out here tomorrow. That’s inefficient and foolish.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

*Blunt as usual,Jungkook thought irritably.* There’s more to life than efficiency, you know.

Taehyung’s expression to him he thought that was ludicrous,and barely resisted the urge to tell Jungkook so. He shook his head instead.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

What are you going to be worth to me tomorrow night,or the night after, if you’re exhausted?

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

I assure you, you won’t have any complaints.

Kim Taehyung (ml)

I know I won’t if you stay here.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)

Why are we arguing about this?

Kim Taehyung (ml)

Because you aren’t giving me my way. *He reached for his phone.* I’m going to send my driver to your house to pick your clothes.

Jeon Jungkook (mc)
