23| Ice cream
A/N:- Taehyung is a producer (Remember Purple Productions?). For people as uneducated as me, producers are people who plan various aspects of film production, such as selecting the script, directing and arranging financing.

Three days later...
My eyes could never get used to Taehyung's presence and my heart could never stop wavering every time he helped me with my things. Even if this behaviour change was out of care for a bleeding woman, I would be lying if I say it didn't make me wish I could continue menstruating till the end of time.
The thought made me cringe twice as harder than the cramps.
Most things, other than him, were usual. We slept with our pillow wall and followed the same schedule every day but today's morning was the most unusual bit of the past three days.
I woke up being breathless because of a pillow kept on my face with Taehyung's hand on top.
By the noon, the male hastily dressed up in formals and left. I had gotten used to these sudden conventional disappearances of him that I didn't even bother asking. After binge-watching a drama and getting bored after the third episode and too many angles of the same kissing scene, I turned to Red velvet.
I played Psycho's music video on the astonishingly large TV screen and prepared to have a little K-pop party by myself. I took the stance so professionally when I had the knowledge of my highly uncomplacent dancing skills.
I waited for the main chorus and when the girls on the screen neared the lines, I too joined them from the other end of the screen and sang out, "You got me feelin like a psycho, psycho—"
Before I could further continue to ruin the song with my vocals, the door to our room shot opened.
There stood a man staring at the television screen and then at me.
It was Kim Taehyung.
I was startled to my bones and emitted a small shriek which met with Taehyung's rather calmly shocked state. "You can continue if you want." His voice cracked towards the end as he tried to speak out words amidst the thick confusion. "I brought ice cream for us so... maybe eat it before getting back to ostrich dance?"
"I want to curse at you but you became the bestest boy and brought ice cream, what do I do?" I slightly patted his hair and out of reflex, he immediately blocked my hand. He took out a neatly sealed container coloured in the hues of brown.
While I was trying to read the flavour, he made my job easier. "I didn't know your preferences so I got the one I like the most. It's chocolate chip cookie dough and trust me when I say it's the best!" He smacked his lips frequently when talking about the ice cream.
I took out a spoonful of ice cream and let it melt away slowly under the warmth of my mouth. "No wonder why you love it. It's indeed amazing but just for record, bring mint choco for me next time."
"In my opinion, those who like mint choco have a really bad taste, no offence." He swayed his spoon with his words and as a mint choco enthusiast, the last two words meant nothing to me but just because he brought ice cream for me, I maintained the silence.
"Thanks for the ice cream," I muttered grudgingly and proceeded to enjoy the taste. "Hey, I totally forgot to ask about the upsetting Jin thing you talked about that night! Spill the beans."
"I kinda hoped that you would forget but as fate would have it, you didn't so..." He pulled out his phone and typed in something. He turned the screen towards me and the headline of the article read 'Director Lee went as far as calling his future project his best drama till the date, talked about risking it all by launching new actors like Kim Seokjin as the male lead' I looked back at Taehyung. "And my production company is working on this too."
I choked on the last bits of my ice cream. "For real..?" Those words unconsciously slipped out of my mouth. He worked at some random office then how did he get noticed by a famous director? "Well, my ex-husband would be getting his big break from my employer's production house, what can be better than this?"
"I didn't know that this Seokjin and your Seokjin were the same person. Even if I did, I wouldn't have done anything significant to it." He carelessly said and I paused at his words. He too stopped to look at me and then just reassuringly patted my back. "You remember that girl outside your cubicle that day? She's starring against him. They both are rookies and I did oppose the idea of launching them through this drama but the majority voted against me. I almost lost my job."
"Really?" When you think of it, 'really' is a reply that goes well with everything. I could recall her sweet voice and felt bad for not being able to see her face. "Are there any kissing scenes... or anything that comes after that?"
He stifled a chuckle but still, a smile broke on his face. "The drama is yet to be air and the production team strictly prohibits sharing out details so I can't tell you anything." He marked out rules to me.
From what I perceived from his reply was: "He had sex with her on camera, didn't he?" I suspiciously asked.
Taehyung couldn't contain fits of laughter anymore and giggled out in his usual deep yet soothing voice. "We are making a drama with him, not porn."
"While we are at it, I realized that you know much more about me than I do about you. You never told me about Minhee." I complained in a slightly whiny voice which was carefully not enough to irritate him away.
"You never asked me." He suddenly shifted back and tried to generate more ice cream from the empty container but to everyone's surprise, Taehyung wasn't a magician!
He actually had a point like most of the times. "Touché! So, I'm, now. Tell me about you two." I boldly let curiosity enter his personal space.
"Minhee and I had a very generic starting. Our parents were good friends and that's how we were introduced to each other. We had way too many night overs in middle school days and because Jungkook lived with me, Minhee and Jungkook were very close too. She and I were like the best friends who went to the same uni. It was during the last year of uni, I really wanted to give Minhee something special for her birthday so I gifted myself to her." A shade of pink crept on his cheeks when he mentioned the incident.
"Oh, my God! That actually makes me wanna pray for a boyfriend who'll do something like this." I was still quick to realise that it came out wrong unintentionally so I topped it off with: "God did hear me out once because Jin was the most amazing boyfriend ever!"
"He does look like a great boyfriend material. On set too, he's mostly polite with everyone but that can be because even the hairdresser is senior to him." He said before continuing the story of his life. "Where was I? Ah, yeah, so surely there were people who envied us but we stood against the odds. She was clear about our future. A few years later— which would be three years ago, from now— we got married."
"Oh... so you had Taehee before marriage cause she is five years old, right?" I asked while remembering how she showed me her four little fingers and when I was about to correct her, I saw Taehyung for the very first time.
"Yes..." He took a deep breath before letting it out. "Taehee is adopted."
