Taehyung pov

"A man is known by the company he keeps." But in my case, I'm always pushed to do the risky jobs by mah friend. I don't even sign up for these but get to face it without any cost. Ain't that great to have such friend. I love him.

Anyways, so now, here i am, tryna find the girl, more like find the reserved sit that jimin's dad booked mainly for him and his so called to be bride. And my misfortune took me here, to meet up with that girl instead. I looked around the small restaurant.

It's really beautiful place and perfect for small dates. Jimin's father never disappoints. Now it's time to find the table that he booked.

With the help of one staff, i found out the table. The girl was already here, i could see.

Who tf wears a dress like this on a date? I couldn't even see her face. I fake coughed a little to divert her attention towards me. She turned off her phone and kept it aside. But when she looked at me, i was in total shock. No way its her.

Hyoora pov

With a lot of conditions and beggings, I'm here sitting at the restaurant, the one the boy's father booked. Heck i don't even know his name. This feels so stupid. But what can i do. I was forced to do something i didn't even sign up for.

After sometime, i felt a figure coming towards me. I could smell his cologne from afar. He's rich afterall. I heard him fake cough trying to get my attention towards me. I kept my phone aside and looked at him only to get shocked in 10 different languages. No way its him.

Hyoora pov end

Why r u here??
Both of them said in unison as hyoora bit her lips in nervousness. She wasn't ready for this, nor was he. This felt like a planned coincidence. Both of them sat in silence for some minutes before hyoora started to talk.

Is it really what i think it is?
Taehyung answered with a simple nod. Hyoora hit the table in annoyance and frustration.
Hitting this table won't solve anything u idiot.
Htoora huffed at taehyung's statement and looked around.

What am i supposed to do now.
Hyoora said while tapping her legs constantly showing how anxious she went.
But hyoora. Did hanbin know that it's actually him?
Hyoora answered negatively and asked taehyung the same question.

He also answered in negative. The both fell in silence thinking deeply. Both of their best friends are now in a situation that is equally complicated and puzzling.
What's gonna happen now?
Hyoora looked nervous.

Just then, taehyung's phone rang telling it was jimin. He put it on speaker for hyoora to hear as well.
Dae Jimin-ah.
Jimin sounded nervous and he was shuttering.
T-taehyung. Did u meet her?
Taehyung glanced at hyoora to see her biting her nails.

Why Jimin-ah.
There was a moment silence before jimin's voice was heard again.
D-do u know who is it? Who the girl is?
He kept shuttering. Taehyung and hyoora already sensed what's going to happen.
Who?

Jimin paused again before continuing.
I-its h-her. Tae it's HER. HANBIN.
They both could hear him cry. Was it cause of excitement? Or cause of happiness? Or the fear of not getting her even after coming this close?

Hyoora got tensed when jimin asked where he was.
I'm here, at the restaurant min.
Taehyung glaned at hyoora time to time.
Is she not here?
Jimin asked the obvious question.

No she isn't.
Taehyung paused for a few seconds and saw hyoora leave the breath she has been holding for.
But hyoora is here.
He said again making hyoora gasp audibly. Jimin seem to get equally shocked hearing him. He hand up before saying that he's also coming here.

Yah! Why did u tell him that I'm here with u??
Hyoora asked the Taehyung which was now tapping his finger on the table deep in his thoughts.
So what am i supposed to say? Hanbin was clearly at fault for which jimin suffered a lot. And now u r gonna run away again without hearing an explanation?

Hyoora rolled her eyes hearing his statement.
Taehyung. How many times u r gonna tell me the same thing? It was clearly jimin's fault. And u think hanbin wasn't hurt? Do u know how much she loved him? How much she cried for him? U guys just gonna see ur side.

Ok that was Hanbin's fault. But is jimin totally innocent? U also know that. He ran away more like a coward. He hid tbose things from her. He acted like he was cheating. He was afraid that she'll get to know. And now u blame all on her? Fucking ridiculous.

Hyoora snapped at him making taehyung look down feeling guilty. An audible sigh left his mouth and he messed his hair up in frustration. Hyoora's phone vibrated and she checked the caller id. It was hanbin.

Heyo binie. What is it?
Hyoora said and hoped it wasn't anything related to him.
Riri. Did u meet the guy? Is he here? Did u talk with him?
Hanbin bombarded her with questions. Hyoora pressed her lips thinking about what she's gonna answer.

Uh no. I mean yea. Wait anything wrong binie? U seem tensed.
Hyoora asked her best friend sensing the obvious hesitation in hanbin's voice.
Riri...appa's sick. He's admitted to the hospital.
Hyoora's eyes got huge hearing the news.

What? Wait. What happened?
Hyoora became restless. Taehyung also looked at hyoora getting that something's definitely wrong. Hyoora heard hanbin cry through the phone and it made her more restless.
Don't cry baby. I'm coming right there. Just wait bubbie.

She hurriedly took her purse and started to go out.
Wait. Where r u going? Aren't u gonna talk and come up with a solution?
Taehyung asked the girl who was now anxious and tensed about her best friend.

Knock me on my social account and make a group. We'll discuss about ut later there. I gotta go now.
With that she left leaving Taehyung alone thinking about what she said earlier. How're they gonna fix this?

Hanbin pov

Me and my mom was waiting in the waiting area for the doctor to come and notice us about my dad. I saw him coming and rushed towards him to know what's wrong with him.
Well he has some heart blockage which tend to be serious. We need to do an angioplasty surgery soon or else it might turn dangerous.

I felt like the ground beneath me was disappearing. Some tears left my eyes as i walked towards my father's room. More tears left seeing him lying on the hospital bed with those pipes attached to his veins. I heard a voice calling my name and turned out to be some unknown guy.

Yea I'm Kang Hanbin. What is it?
The guy looked so formal and like a mama's boy.
Well mr. Park told me that mr. Kang needs an emergency surgery. And he chooses to pay for all the hospital bills by himself as well as the surgery. I need ur consent and sign here to confirm.

He showed me a paper where all the conditions were written neatly. Should i do it? Will that be ok? But...it's for my father right. I can do it. I have to. It's...it's not a big deal. With my shaking hands, i signed up the contract and returned it to him.

Hanbinie!
Hyoora came and crashed me with a warm hug that she never forgets to give me.
Where's uncle? Is he alright? Is it something serious?
I gulped the weird feeling in my throat and couraged to speak to her.

Hyoora. I think...I'll do it. I'll marry that guy. I'll move on and start a new life.
