Chapter-20
Shopping!

"Why do I have to come with you? Can't you just go alone? I would have to wait for hours!", Taehyung opposed your childish behaviour. "Taehyung, what about you? I gotta shop for you too. You have to come with me.", you pulled him with his sleeves. "Urgh, I can do it for myself when I have some time. Please, spare me. I got really important work there for me.", Taehyung holds the pillar, stopping you as well.

"More important than me?", you cocked your eyebrow at him, folding your arms against your chest. "No, never." You nodded, dragging him further with you. "Urgh!" Taehyung ended up giving in. He drag himself in the store, following you around. "I am changing into some dresses. Tell me which one is good.", you spare no glances to Taehyung and continued walking through the aisles.

"That's all I gotta do? Like literally? Who am I to choose your dresses?", he nagged so much, that was now intolerant. "Who are you- My freaking husband! Can't you just spare some time for me?! It's not like I am keeping you with myself forever.", you punched him on his arm. "You can keep me forever but spare me this once, please.", he twinkled his eyes as if you will allow him.

"Urgh, what are you going to do?", you squinted your eyes at him in disapproval. "I have a conference.", he sighed. "How long will it take?", you tilted your head. "I just have to present. It will barely take an hour." "Oh, okay then.", you smiled at him, "But you have to spend the rest of the day with me." He smiled, "I promise I will. Bye then, I really need to hurry!", he waved his hand at you. "Button up your shirt on the way!" You watch him dash off while wearing his coat over the red silky shirt.

"What am I going to do?", you looked around. You wanted to shop with Taehyung so bad. You started looking around, "I cannot leave the store with my hands empty." You picked up a good dress from the dresses, making your way to the counter. "Bill it, please." Just with two-three words with the lady, you make your way out.

What could you possibly do in a mall? Shop, not a choice. Roam around, that will be tiring. So of course, eating. Get your stomach full and be energetic. Just perfect for a moment like this.

You hastily dashed to the food court. And not to mention, your eyes were stuck on that one corner— the ice-cream corner. "Dessert for the last!" You muttered to yourself. You hastily made your way to the counter, and you couldn't wait for your turn. You glared at the man in front of you, who was busy laughing with his friends and didn't care to order quickly.

You crossed your arms against your chest, shooting your deadliest glares at them. That was when one of them caught you, you shifted your gaze to him. He cocked his eyebrows, leaning close to his other friends. "Hey, why is she glaring at us?" They all glanced at you, "Let's just go." They all ordered fast, leaving you past. 'Oh, I thought I would have to fight with them.', you smiled to yourself.

Ordering for yourself, you sit down with the tray. It was so good to see a square meal in front of you, when you were sad. You started unpack it and munch on the cracker. You watched people around, they were either busy clicking pictures or eating.

You decided to ignore them and got your own phone out. You possibly have only social media to scroll through. You tried to do what they all are doing. It was quite hard to get a good shot though. You were so determined that you forgot you are in public. You even stood up to click a photo. Some of them stared at you, while you were busy getting a shot. When you finally did, you grinned wider than ever— a grin wider that the one you gave to Taehyung ever.

You started to eat, while scrolling through your phone. Laughing and huffing, you watch the lovey-dovey couples, kissing openly. "If you wanna romance, do it in private. Why public?" You are pretty judgemental when it comes to couples. You just don't like how they keep on popping on your screen for no reasons and kiss each other passionately or fiercely.

You hear the squeaky noise coming from next to you. You snapped your gaze at the irritating voice, only to find out a couple giggling while biting on the same french chip, different ends. You watched them in pure disgust, curling up your upper lip. Your eyes were fixed on the distance between their mouth, and every second you blinked— they were getting closer.

Your lips were parted away and your eyes were wide open. Finally, their lips touched and they started kissing each other. Your eyes were ready to pop out at the moment. You couldn't digest the fact that they were kissing so fiercely in public, especially in a place where many people are present to eat peacefully.

The piece of food dropped from your fingers, your fingers clenched in a fist. Your hands slipped down between your legs, clenching onto each other. Your tongue anonymously started rolling in your mouth. "Enjoying them? Should we recreate it?" The sudden announce of his voice startled you to the point that you did scream.

"You scared me!" You twinkled your eyes in discomfort. You breathed sharply, while biting on your lower lip. "Are you a pervert? Why stare at a couple making out?", Taehyung snickered at you. Your cheeks flushed red in embarrassment, "N-No, but is it a place to make out-" "No. Of course not. But you cannot stare at them with such a body language even if they were.", Taehyung looked down at your lap, so did you.

You pulled out your intertwined hands, pondering how come they reached there. "You were enjoying it. You're pretty fierce nowadays.", he chuckled. You gulped down the lump forming in your throat, "M-Me? Stop kidding-" "As if I am. I still remember that kiss.", he stared into your eyes with his own tempting one.

"H-How did you find me?", you muttered. "I have my own ways." "Oh, them. Those two men in their cocky ass costumes following me around?" "I told them to wear something normal. Don't worry.", he smiled at you. "Thank God. I felt like a wanna-be-gangster woman with two clowns guarding me.", you rolled your eyes. He snickered at your response.

"Shall we go then?" "Yeah.", you started to pick up your stuff. Taehyung helped you along. Once you were done, you made your way out. You didn't forget to look at the couple with a frown on your face, wondering what made you stare at them so intensely.

"Switch off your phone. If I find you running away just because of a call, you won't be spared.", you bumped your own shoulder into his muscular arms. "Really? Then I won't switch it off. I don't wanna be spared by you." The sneer on his face was so obvious. You gasped lightly, regretting to forget his behaviour.

"Just zip your mouth.", you huffed at him. Only if he knew, you were unwillingly blushing over such a flirt.

"Pick up dresses for me." You plopped on the comfortable couch. He pointed at himself in surprise, "Me? Why? I don't know your style that well." "Absolutely great. Now you won't have to worry about my taste, and you can choose them according to your style.", you shrugged. "Why do you want to wear something choosen by me?", he furrowed his eyebrows.

"I wanna see something.", you shushed him away. "See- what-" Before he could complete, he was already being pushed away by you. "You have an hour. Choose something suitable for the place.", you waved your hand and made your way back to the couch.

.

"These are the dresses." The way Taehyung was breathing flashed his tired self. He was barely keeping his eyes open. "Okay, please pack them-" "Wait. Aren't you going to see them?", Taehyung bobbed his heads towards you, looking into your eyes curiously. "I trust you. You must have chosen something good. Thank you so much.", you smiled at him amd proceeded to walk away. He stared at your back, pondering about the sudden trust in him.

"My hands are full.", you muttered in disappointment. He looks at your small hand, chuckling at the colours you have painted it with. "Choose one of them then. Why putting more?" "It's the latest collection. I wanna explore every shade.", you uttered like a kid. He started rolling up the sleeves of his red shirt, "Use mine."

You looked in his eyes, finding the sincere calmness. It was tempting to see a man roll up his sleeves, just for you to paint it with your lip gloss shades. Averting your gaze to his arm, you smile at the tanned skin. You picked a shade, "Thank you for the help. I will make sure to return your kindness." "Choose my clothes then." "As you say.", you grinned at him.

Just after five minutes, his muscular limb was filled with different shades of lipglosses. "Sorry.", you grinned cheekily at him. "It's okay, I will wash it off once you are done." You smiled, "Okay, then. Which one will look better on my lips?" "Are you asking me?", he points to himself. You bobbed your head with a thug smile.

He leans down, his lips alomst brushing against your earlobe, "My lips." He pulls himself up, sneering at you. Your stomach started to growl in just a different way, your skin started chilling up. Your cheeks proceeded to heat up. You looked into the mirror, finding yourself flushed with such a reply. Licking on your lips, you breathed out- "None of your cheeks." He stared at you mutter it so calmly. He was unknowingly flustered by the state he had you in.

His eyes couldn't leave you for a minute. His expressionless face couldn't be read, but his eyes could. They sparkling with adore. While you were busy getting yourself together, he amorously stared in your eyes. The way your eyes fluttered, the way your long lashes moved, the way your neck moved when you gulped. He was just mesmerized by your small reactions.

"H-Hey, what happened?", you snapped. He fluttered his eyes, shaking his head to you. "I-I will take these two.", you dashed out of his sight. He zoned out, still stuck on the adorable sight he had a few minutes ago.....
