CH 8 | A REQUEST


The Sunday sun settled at the top of heads as it was already noon while you were sauntering down the stairs and infrequently, Taehyung was home.

Donning yourself in a white dress and a brown leather sling bag hanging across your shoulder, you scampered down the stairs as your tresses bobbed over your shoulders while you held the handrail on the way. "Where is he?" You thought to yourself when reaching the last step.

"I will take you shopping." These were the words he told you when you met him today morning at the backyard while he was having his morning coffee.

-

Quaffing down a glass of water standing against the dining chair, I placed the glass back over the dining table when the door of the backyard caught my attention. Since the day I am here, I haven't seen it open. "It's open." I muttered under my breath.

I discerned Mrs. Daisy walked out of the kitchen as she greeted my morning when I asked, "What's that door open to?" Mrs. Daisy gazed at the door and then back at me, "Oh! It's the door to the backyard. It's mostly closed but Mr. Kim opens it sometimes, on weekends." She explained aa I nodded while deciphering.

Licking my lips, I made my way to the door to the backyard, catching a sight of the green grass spread out in the area. I stretched my hand to push the door open when I discerned Taehyung's profile. He was pondering on the couch outside with his laptop deposited on the table placed in front of him, "He is working on Sunday also."

Traveling my orbs, I scrutinized his arms in the half sleeve T-shirt. His skin was pale while his veins were bulging out which came in my view when I ambled near him but the thing which disheartened me was his empty ring finger, he hasn't worn out wedding ring since the day of your marriage.

Moving upwards, I watched his locks skimming through the light wind as he ran his fingers through his mane to push them back before continuing typing over his keyboard.

The weather was serene, just a bit of breeze and sunlight penetrating through the clouds flowing past by the sun, "He looks so calm." I muttered under my breath, analyzing his expressions. The way he has his lower lip clamped within his teeth, his gaze never leaving the bright screen on the laptop.

The way he slithered his palm over his left lower arm, halting himself from typing further and stretching his right arm to get a hold over the grey coffee mug placed beside his lappy.

His vast palm covered the majority built mass of the coffee mug as he touched the rim of the cup to his salmon petals, sipping onto his hot coffee as his Adam's apple bobbed for once when I realised that I was standing across the table, gaining his attention.

I watched him twitching his skywards to look at me, the befuddlement in his orbs soon turned habitual aa It took me a second to form a word in my throat, "Good morning." I muttered as he answered, "Morning." Looking back down at his laptop, I asked, "Can I sit here?" The reluctance wouldn't have gone unnoticed by him when our orbs were locked once again, "Sit wherever you want." He calmly stated.

I smiled mildly, taking a seat on the couch adjacent to his, resting my hand on my lap. I gazed around the green area until the boundary as the peripheries were planted by flowers and some cherry blossom trees.

A pool implanted just as the patios ended up, the couch was deposited where me and Taehyung were sitting with a semi covered area with curtains hanging at the columns giving an aesthetic feel.

I took a deep breath with a minimal noise when I took a glimpse at Taehyung and discerned him taking his orbs away from my direction, I cramped my brows and squinted my eyes a bit before raising my feet to take a round around the eye-catchy garden, "It's beautiful." I said walking around the garden. Stooping down near the flower to smell some when I picked up a beautiful white lily with violet gradient.

Walking back to the patios, I discerned Taehyung standing up from the couch while shutting his laptop. He gazed at me as I halted my steps beside the table.

Glancing at the flower in my hand he looked back at my visage while I was brawling within myself how do I ask him. Summoning all the courage within, I asked, "Actually, I..." I scrutinized his visage and he was listening to me attentively.

"Actually, I wanted to go shopping for my parents' anniversary so..." Taehyung said, "Chauffeur is on holiday every Sunday so he won't be available today. I will take you shopping." I looked at him with enlarged orbs, "What? No, it's okay. I will take a cab then. You don't have to trouble yourself." I receded my hand from one direction to another.

He closed his eyes for a second before he answered, "No, it's fine. I am done with my work. We will go by noon." He declared, taking a hold on his laptop, holding it from its spine as I muttered, "Thank you." Taehyung whispered, "It's fine." I stretched my hand out for him to hold on the flower, "This is for you as a thank you." Wiggling his orbs from mine and the flower, "Keep it." He said before making his way inside the residence.

Stretching my lips together, I shrugged my shoulders following him inside.

-

Skimming the back of your finger over the flower petals you attached with a safety pin near your left shoulder, you smiled to yourself when you heard the footsteps approaching you as you twitched around. You gazed at Taehyung who was sauntering down the stairs while being donned in blue ripped jeans and a white shirt tucked inside.

You blinked your eye once when he ran his slender fingers through his locks while he gazed down at you in the white frock reaching your knees, clocking on the flower which you had attached on your dress, "She likes flowers. Stop it, Taehyung." He twitched his orbs away before standing next to you.

"Let's go." He said as you nodded, walking beside each other departing out of the residence. "I will take out the car, wait here." He declared walking to the garage. Steering the car in the porte cochere as you climbed onto the passenger's seat, Taehyung drove off to the mall.

Silence conquered all the way to the mall while you both were taking glances at each other when he caught you once, "What happened?" He muttered while twirling the steering around to park the car while you stammered, "No... nothing. I was just looking around." Putting on the brakes, he looked at you, "What do you wanna acquire?" He asked, pulling off your seat belt.

"Parents' anniversary gift." You said taking off your seat belt as he nodded getting out of the car while you did the same. Slipping out his phone from his jeans he dialed a number, "He said his work is done." You thought walking inside the mall as he sauntered behind you. Pocketing his phone inside his pants, he said, "No there, we will go up there."

He pointed out to the second floor where you discerned a jewellery store, "But-" You cut off yourself off when he walked to the escalator, "What's wrong with him?" You looked at him while squinting, making your way to him.

Entering inside the shop, you looked around at the aesthetic and lavish interior when a lad with his black suit jacket with a golden batch tucked in his coat pocket came to Taehyung.

They both shook their hands with each other, "How are you, Mr. Kim?" "I am fine, Mr. Baek. Hope you are doing good." The man nodded when he turned to you, "Welcome, Mrs. Kim." You bowed to him befuddled, glancing at Taehyung. "Come, I will show you your desired acquisitions." Taehyung took a glimpse at you before gesturing to you to walk ahead of him.

Taking seats over the couch while the rings and watches were flooded with the rings and watches and they weren't seeming to be at a moderate, they were exorbitant. "You can choose any." Taehyung muttered while resting his left hand over the backrest of the couch and holding the phone in another. He propped his leg over right.

You smiled at Mr. Baek before leaning in a bit to Taehyung, "They are a lot expensive. Don't you think so?" You whispered.

Getting a glimpse from him as he said, "That's fine. Just choose what you like." He answered, again scrolling through the gadget. You looked around the rings for your mother and one caught your eye as you took it in your hand, scrutinizing it, "You have got a good choice, Mrs. Kim. We prepared the latest collection just when Mr. Kim called us." "Taehyung called them when we were down in the parking lot." "Thank you." You muttered as Taehyung took a glance at the diamond ring, his lips curving up a bit.

"We will take this one." You handed the ring over to Mr. Baek as the employees took the collection of rings away. "How did I select the watch? I don't know which one dad would like." Traveling his orbs at your profile, Taehyung watched out your befuddled visage, he gazed at the wrist watches placed in front of you both. You turned to him, "Can you please... help me choose one? I don't know which one he will like." You declared, making him sigh.

Switching his phone off, he chucked it over the couch in space between you two. Propping his elbows on the lap with his fingers intertwined, he traced his eyes on the wrist watches while one of the watches grabbed your attention, "That one." "What about this one?" You both stated, in concert, pointing out the same watch.

You looked at Taehyung as he gazed at you and your smile as your heart cartwheeled inside your ribcage just for a second as Mr. Baek said, "Bravo. You both have the best choice, that's why you both chose each other as life partners." He cheered up as you both looked at him while he passed the wrist watch to you.

"Would you mind trying it on your wrist?" You asked, looking at him as he nodded before taking off his current wrist watch and you stretched your hand while holding the watch to make him wear it when he took the watch, "I will do it." He tied the watch around his wrist, he showed it to you. "It looks pleasing." You said as he stared at the watch for a few seconds before taking it off, "We will take this." Taehyung said, giving the watch back to Mr. Baek.

Holding the paper bag, you both walked out of the store after receiving greetings from the staff. "Thank you so much, Taehyung. I haven't ever bought something so fast." You said as he nodded, "No problem. Shall we go home?" You nodded, "Yes." You both made your way down the escalator when a black dress caught your eye after reaching the ground floor. You gazed at the dress donned by a mannequin placed inside the store.

It was a powder blue coloured sleeveless dress, skin fit till the waist and frock style beneath. The material was looking like satin and would reach till your lower leg.

Your heart was saying to buy that beautiful and elegant dress but your mind said otherwise, "How would I tell him? Let it go. I will acquire it some other time."

Unwittingly, you were staring at the dress for a bit long when Taehyung turned around to look at you and directed his orbs at the dress which you were gazing at when you twitched around to follow him ahead as he looked away while you caught up with his pace, "Did she wanted that dress?"
