Mr. Jeon [Shadows of Desire]
CHAPTER 6
Kim Taehyung
*Walking over his car*
...
Tae! *Run toward Taehyung*
Kim Taehyung
Huh? *Turn around to the voice who is calling him*
Kim Taehyung
Hey, Bogum... *Said while trying to open his car*
Park Bogum
I've been looking for you.
Kim Taehyung
*Smile as he stops and looks at bogum* What's up?
Park Bogum
Seoul Art Museum is going to exhibit my photographs, next month! *Smile at taehyung*
Kim Taehyung
Oh, my god! *Spread his arms and hug him*
Kim Taehyung
Congratulations!
The two laugh as they hug a bit.
Kim Taehyung
That's so good. *Nod his head*
Park Bogum
Solo show, baby~ *Small dance*
Kim Taehyung
But, can we celebrate later?
Kim Taehyung
Because I'm really late for work. *Said with a smile as he pat his shoulder*
Park Bogum
*Nod* Yeah, yeah, sure!
While taehyung tried his best to open the car door, bogum notice it and held the door as he opened it for tae.
Park Bogum
Let me tae. *Opened the door*
Park Bogum
*Smiled at taehyung*
Kim Taehyung
*Hug him again and went inside the car* You're my hero.
Park Bogum
I'll see you later. *Closed the car door*
Park Bogum
*Wave bye to Taehyung*
Taehyung then drives off to his workplace at a 'Hardware Supply Shop'
Kim Taehyung
*Pick it up* Hello, dad? 📲
Kim Taehyung
Can I call you later?
Kim Namjoon
Oh no, wait. I called for a reason. 📲
Kim Namjoon
Well... Jin broke his foot playing golf, of all things.
Kim Taehyung
*Made a small frown and a worried face* Gosh, is he okay? 📲
Kim Taehyung
Is he in a lot of pain?
Kim Namjoon
He calls the paramedics for a blister. 📲 *Chuckle*
Kim Namjoon
It means, though... 📲
Kim Namjoon
We won't be able to fly in for your graduation.
Kim Taehyung
*Smile faded*
Kim Taehyung
I mean... You don't wanna just come alone?
Kim Taehyung
You don't have to bring papa jin.
Kim Namjoon
*Sigh* And leave the sheep to fend for himself? 📲
Kim Namjoon
You do understand.
Kim Namjoon
Don't you, sweetie? *Said as he felt bad as he can't go*
Kim Taehyung
yeah, it's fine *Shake his head and sigh*
Kim Taehyung
Um... I really have to go, okay?
Kim Namjoon
I love you, my little bear. 📲
Kim Taehyung
I know, dad... I love you, too. 📲 *Click the hang-up*
Kim Taehyung
*Sigh* Oh, god...
Paul: Tae, Could you give me a hand out back?
Kim Taehyung
Yeah, I'll be right there.
Sir paul asked me to check on some orders while I'm behind the counter at the till discreetly eating my sandwich.
I'm engrossed in the task, checking catalog numbers against items we need and the items we've ordered, eyes flicking from the order book to the computer screen and back as I check the entries match.
Then, for some reason! I glance up... and find myself locked in the bold gaze of Jeon Jungkook, who's standing at the counter, staring at me intently.
Jeon Jungkook
*Smile looking at Taehyung*
Jeon Jungkook
I thought it was you.
Holy Mother of Cat's! What the hell is he doing here looking all tousled-hair and outdoorsy in his cream chucky-knit sweater, jeans, and walking boot....
I think my mouth has popped open, and I can't locate my brain or my voice...
Jeon Jungkook
What a pleasant surprise, Mr. Kim. *Walk over to Taehyung with a smug smile*
Kim Taehyung
Just "Tae." *Clears his throat*
Kim Taehyung
You're in here. *Look back at the store and back at Jungkook*
Jeon Jungkook
I was in the area on business.
Jeon Jungkook
And stop by to pick up a few things. *Smile at him*
Jeon Jungkook
Are you free? *Tilt his head a bit*
Taehyung gaze was transfixed, unable to tear itself away from Jungkook's intense stare.
Each time their eyes met, her heart skipped a beat, a strange, inexplicable attraction pulling him in and making it impossible to break away.
Kim Taehyung
Wha... What can I help you with?
Jeon Jungkook
Do you stock cable ties?
Kim Taehyung
Cable ties... *Nod* Yes, we do.
Kim Taehyung
I can show you, if you want. *Shrug his shoulder*
Jeon Jungkook
Please lead the way, Mr. Kim.
Kim Taehyung
Just "Tae." *Look at Jungkook and start walking*
He trailed behind Tae as they approached the display of cable ties, Tae steps slow and measured. Taehyung glanced back at him before gesturing towards the array of options, a subtle hint that it was his turn to choose.
He scanned the selection, eyeing each one intently as he searched for just the right size and color. After a moment, his hand reached out and picked up a long, black cable tie, the dark material looking almost menacing as it hung from his fingers.
Kim Taehyung
Is that it? *Look at Jungkook*
Jeon Jungkook
*Look at Taehyung* Masking tape.
Kim Taehyung
*Nod and start to walk* Are you redecorating?
He again followed Taehyung toward the masking tape section.
Kim Taehyung
Um... we have two-inch and one-inch. *Took the tape*
Jeon Jungkook
(What if I have 12 inches...) *Chuckle looking at Taehyung back*
Kim Taehyung
*Look at Jungkook while holding the tape with a smile* But the truly self-respecting handyman...
Kim Taehyung
Will have both in his toolbox *Give Jungkook the tape*
Jeon Jungkook
Of course he will. *Smile*
As taehyung passed him the tape, their fingers brushed together briefly, his touch sending a shiver up his spine and causing a hint of something...
Kim Taehyung
It's rare to find a connoisseur these days... *Took back his hands after Jungkook grab both*
Kim Taehyung
Do you want anything else? *Look at Jungkook and keep maintaining eye contact with him*
Kim Taehyung
*Pulling a string of rope*
Jeon Jungkook
That's impressive. *Looking at Taehyung*
Jeon Jungkook
Are you a Boy Scout?
Kim Taehyung
*Chuckle and cut the rope*
Kim Taehyung
Organized group activities aren't really my thing.
Jeon Jungkook
So, what is your "thing"? *Tilt his head again*
Kim Taehyung
Um... paintings and books? I guess...
Kim Taehyung
Okay. *Give him the rope*
Kim Taehyung
Rope, tape, cable ties.
Kim Taehyung
*Chuckle* You're the complete serial killer.
Jeon Jungkook
*Shake his head a bit and smile looking at Taehyung* Not today.
