This isn't exactly the best position to start sharing your side of the story, but something tells you he won't move unless you talk. 

So you get straight to the point. Sort of. 

"She asked if I could do her a favor. Told me about how you refuse to pay her a visit and so on."

He should be smart enough to put the pieces together.

Taehyung's firm stare stretches to a minute to which you raise an inquisitive eyebrow, wondering if he gets it.

The air is filled with silent noises as you wait for a reaction. Anything. But nothing. His lips remain tight. At this rate, you begin to wonder if he understood you or not.

"She wants you to go back." You eventually spill out like you're taking a bandaid off. 

Taehyung blinks his eyes and casually utters the word "Okay." like he knew what you meant from the beginning.

Okay? That's it?

He's about to leave without saying anything else when you throw a question his way.  "Well, are you?"

Taehyung's melodic voice morphs into a tease, and he looks back with a superior smug flashing his face. "What do you think princess? Should I?"

"Um." You say hesitantly. "Yes?"

He really should. From what you heard, this isn't something he should miss. 

"I'll go."

You blink in surprise.

You expected him to be less accepting, to be honest. Lisa might have been wrong about him giving you a hard time.

"Oka-"

"But-" When he points an objective finger in the air, you feel like you've been punched on the throat. "Under one condition."

You have a bad feeling about this.

"And that would be?"

"You have to come with me." 

Why does it feel like you're given no choice but to comply? There's a nagging feeling that this condition will push through regardless of what you give as a response. 

Or he could be joking.

He's got to be.

The seriousness he exhibits in his tone tells you otherwise.

"What? No." You give him a straightforward response, almost like you're yelling before walking past him to enter the wide space of the shop.

Lisa's observing the workers on the left side of the room, a hand to her hip and a shake clutched between the other. She's giving orders in places she shouldn't be. Thankfully, the team leader's someone she personally knows, and judging by the way he's now talking to her reveals how much he's had enough. 

"I'm just trying to help." Is Lisa's weak excuse of the century. 

"No, sweetie no." The insanely tall man says, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Look at those ugly bags under your eyes. And your chapped lips. I don't want you stressing yourself even more over this trivial matter. Now go sit over there and finish your drink. You're giving me a headache." With perfectly manicured nails, he waves Lisa to get moving. 

Jack's a gay man living his life to the fullest in his thirties. He's sassy, gorgeous, fabulous, and treats Lisa like the niece he never had. He also prefers the pronouns he, his, and him

Taehyung appears from the back of the room and struts to the front counter where he observes your busy figure walking here and there. He drags a fake sigh. "If that's the case, then I guess I won't be going anywhere for a while."

"We'll just see about that." You mumble mostly to yourself. 

There's got to be a way to convince him. 

The day his mother came, she made sure to get your number before leaving. So every once in a while, you receive a phone call from the Queen herself. 

Lisa called you lucky but you think it's quite bothersome.

Because every time she calls, she's expecting some kind of good news.

It's not easy to tell her that her son still doesn't plan on going back.

After retrieving the aid kit from the upper shelf, you whirl around to find Taehyung staring at the cut on his palm. 

Releasing a heavy sigh, you stride towards him and gently take his hand. "Here. Let's fix this up real quick."

The rest of the day goes by in a snap and now it was time to leave.

That's what you thought at least.

Until Lisa locks her arm around yours with a suspicious smile on her face.

"What?"

Instead of answering you like a normal person, she begins dragging you down the sidewalk and stops in front of a black car. The door to the passenger seat's already open and Taehyung's behind the wheel. 

"You-" The girl emphasizes the word as she pushes you into the seat. But it's not really a push though. More like a forceful friendly shove. Once you're inside giving her the 'what was that for?' look, she leans down to meet your eye level and says. "- are going to have fun today. I won't be home."

What does she mean by fun?

Actually, you decide to keep that question all to yourself. 

You gently slap your hands on the seat beneath you, ready to slide out of here. "Listen, guys, I'm really exhausted. So if you could just-hey!"

Lisa pushes you back before you can get off and slams the door quickly. You let out a groan when your back hits the side of Taehyung's seat. And since you're hovering his side of the car, the feeling of his breath brushing your ear when he speaks causes a shiver down your spine. 

"Are you okay?" He sounds genuinely worried. 

"What did you tell her?" You hiss at him instead.

"Nothing." He says but you find that hard to believe. Next thing you know, he's rolling his arm back to pull out his phone, showing you their text messages. "She sent me an address of a nearby coastline then told me to bring the car here."

So he's saying that this is all Lisa's doing and that he's become one of her victims too? 

"Have fun you two." Cheers the girl outside before thumping the roof of the car two times.

And just like that, Taehyung steps on the gas like he has no other choice and drives off into the midst of the night. 

"Where are we going?" You grumble reluctantly. 

"Maybe we could try this place out." Without taking his eyes off the road, he lifts his phone, referring to the location Lisa sent him. 

Taehyung glances your way when you don't say anything and finds you staring out the window.

Now that you're not looking, he swipes a lean finger across his phone and secretly types on the screen. 


To: Lisa

Tnx.
