"Are you sure she's okay?"

Hoseok asked a very confused Yoongi, who nodded.

"I'm pretty sure that she's fine, don't worry, just finish your food," he said.

Hoseok shrugged and continued eating his dinner. It took all of Taehyung's willpower to not burst out laughing, smirk, or even smile at the situation.

Everyone would think that he had gone crazy.

According to Taehyung though, it wouldn't exactly be a lie, because he's indeed gone crazy over Yuri.

Without realising it, Taehyung began smiling while chewing his food. Mina noticed his smile, and found it really weird and suspicious, but stayed quiet, not wanting to attract attention to herself.

"Taehyung," Yoongi called him, who looked up upon hearing his name, "Hobi and I are going over to Daegu, to handle the. . . mess there, and to get some more. . . resources."

Taehyung nodded. "I can come with y'all too. I'm fine now."

"See, but that's the thing. We can't all go. We'll be gone for a while, around two or three weeks. We can't leave the house unattended during those two weeks. We need someone to stay in the city to keep an eye on the others," Hoseok said.

"The girls are there, though. They'll be here. . ." Taehyung trailed off sadly. It seemed like very a long time since he had gone out and actually done his work.

He never had a liking for his work, because it involved doing lots of inhumane things, not to mention illegal. But he still missed doing it.

Because Taehyung wanted to keep his father's legacy alive.

He didn't want his death to go in vain. Which was why he continued to work on the things his father had spent ages nurturing and working up to.

He had shed his blood, sweat and tears to establish and create his own empire, and Taehyung was going to keep it going.

After all, that was what sons did.

"I'm not sure if they can defend themselves if someone happens to attack them," Yoongi said slowly, side-eyeing Mina, who didn't look up from her food.

"I won't be here for a few days. I'll be out too, so it's better you stay here with Yuri," she said, quietly.

At that, Taehyung didn't feel so bad about staying behind, and skipping work anymore, because it meant that he got alone time with Yuri.

An idea popped up in his head, and he was extremely happy with what he had decided.

After eating dinner, Taehyung called Mina to stay behind. She was confused, but obliged nevertheless. When Taehyung made sure that Hoseok and Yoongi were in their rooms, a safe distance away from them, he turned back to Mina.

"I don't wanna pry, so I won't ask you where you're going. All I wanna ask, is that will you be okay with staying wherever you're staying for, like, two weeks? Till they come back?" He asked.

Mina looked confused and subtly delighted at the same time. "Sure, I don't mind!"

"Okay, perfect," Taehyung said to himself, secretly smiling. He didn't notice Mina's sad but proud smile.

He went back up to his room, to send a message to Yuri, even though she was just a few doors away. He wasn't sure he was ready to meet her after everything that happened during dinner.

Still smiling at Yuri's shaking legs, he messaged her, telling her about everyone going out, and how it's gonna be just them, and how he had planned something for them to do together.

A few rooms away from where Taehyung was, a pleasant melody rang out from Yuri's mobile phone. She was startled at the sudden noise, since her phone never really got many notifications.

Well, she actually got thousands of notifications from her brother, and other people she had no time and patience to reply to, but she had muted them all.

In fact, Yuri had muted everyone except Taehyung.

Quicker than light, she grabbed her phone to see if it really was Taehyung who had messaged her, and it turned out that she was right.

He had messaged something about everyone else going out for important work, and had also told her to be ready tomorrow morning after breakfast to leave somewhere fun.

Yuri smiled widely. She didn't fully trust Taehyung's definition of fun, but, if it was with him, she was ready to do anything and everything, even jumping down a cliff.

She trusted Taehyung very much, and knew he would never do anything to hurt her. She still doubted if she really deserved such a sweet man like him.

Getting into her comfortable bed, she thanked everyone who had led her to finding Taehyung.

"Where are we going?"

Yuri asked Taehyung, who was wearing a pair of sunglasses, driving a car she had never seen before.

"Paradise, with me." Taehyung pulled his sunglasses down to shoot her a wink.

She smiled, hitting his hand. "Okay, jokes aside, where are we going, really? You didn't even let me keep the dishes back after cleaning them, because you were in such a hurry to leave."

"Do you like beaches?" He asked instead.

Yuri blinked thrice. "I do, but how is that related to what I'm sa—"

"That's good, because we're going to be staying at my beach house!"

Yuri stared at Taehyung blankly. "Y-your beach house? You have a beach house?"

"Of course, babe. Every rich person needs a vacation home at a beach, you know," he said, laughing.

"Oh my gosh, okay, totally not a flex. And, did you say that we're staying there?"

"Sure did." He took a sharp turn.

"And you didn't even tell me anything!? I didn't pack any clothes! What am I supposed to wear the whole time? Oh my gosh, Tae, you should've told me!"

Yuri started freaking out, wondering why and how Taehyung looked so calm, because even he hadn't packed any clothes.

'Does he plan on wearing the same clothes the entire time?'

"Well, I wouldn't really mind if you wore nothing, darling," he said, smirking in her direction, causing her mouth to hang open, a furious red blush appearing on her cheeks.

"Taehyung!" She gasped.

"But," he continued, "that would be kinda difficult for both of us, so, here we are!"

Yuri hadn't realised when Taehyung had stopped driving, and when they had parked outside a posh-looking shopping centre.

Taehyung got out of the car, and opened Yuri's door for her, leading her towards the entrance like a gentleman.

The entire place was deserted. The mannequins which showcased the various expensive clothes were the only figures around them.

"Taehyung," she looked around in wonder, "what is this?"

"The best shopping centre. Rented out for a few hours, for us to explore and buy the clothes we like."

Taehyung placed his hand on the curve of Yuri's back, leading her towards a dress she was eyeing.

"But, why did you do it?" She asked again, still in wonder.

"You're so clueless sometimes, babe," he pulled her cheeks, "it's so cute. And, to answer your question, it's all for you, my love. Everything here is for you. Go try on everything you like and take it with you. It's all yours anyways."

Yuri looked around at everything once more, and let out a scoff of disbelief. "Are you serious, Tae?"

"I wouldn't dare to joke about things like this, babe. Now, go. Shop to your heart's content, and don't you dare glance at the price tags. I'll have someone you help you out with anything you need, okay?"

Taehyung gently pushed her forward. She turned back, and jumped on him, hugging him tightly. He laughed, and hugged her back.

Yuri pulled away, her eyes shining. She placed a soft kiss on Taehyung's lips, and said,

"Okay, my sugar daddy."
