"It's all for you. This way" he got up guiding her with a pleasant smile. "Here you go" he handed the box over with a gleam in his eyes. They were alone. She opened it with a surprised look, it had scrunchies, rubber bands, pads, tampons (Why'd he even get that?), makeup supplies, wax strips, clips, hair bands, face cleansers- "Do I look that bad?" he interrupted her little scavenger hunt. "Sorry?"

"Do I look that bad?" he asked. "That shouldn't be right. I topped the list in handsome men. Am I not your type? Or does the kurta just not suit me?" he was wondering out loud at this point. "Why are you asking that?" Meera sighed. "You haven't looked me in the eye after you saw me wearing it"

Let's rewind it a bit, shall we?

At around 9, when Alesha and Taehyung returned from their little trip, Alesha holed herself up in his room and refused to let her in at any point. And when she did come out of the room, she kept this weird smile pasted on her face and refused to spill what they did outside or in the room. Meera knew instantly she was upto something and had somehow roped Taehyung into her plan. Probably tricked him into it.

And when Taehyung came out of his room, her heart skipped more than just a beat. There a softness to his look. The way the black kurta clung on to the bend of his arm till where it was rolled upto, showing off a few veins on his hand did definitely not stop the butterflies who went rampant inside her. It did things to her when their eyes met. Nobody told her the butterflies were planning to settle there permanently. And then Meera being Meera did the very thing she could do. She. Ran. Away.

A/N: I can totally relate to her and at the same point want to beat her up fr.

After coming out of her room, the first thing she did was push Alesha and Taehyung into the kitchen under the guise of wanting for the two of them to shred the chicken for her. And exited almost immediately. She leaned against the outer wall of the kitchen, panting. How was she expected to stay calm when he looks that good? All she wanted to do right now was make a husband out of him. Oh how badly she wanted to strangle her best friend for pulling this move

She caught the words, "Your idea was a flop. I bet I look weird right now. You saw her reaction. She must be out there laughing at how funny I look". She could bet all that she had on the fact that Taehyung was pouting as he said that. She heard her soulmate scoff at the statement. That brat!

"What?" he was sounding sadder now. "I don't think we failed. Shred the chicken. I hate work man. Stop pouting you're distracting me by acting like a baby!" her friend retorted.

Flashback ends.

"Why're you so quiet? Hello? Mic testing 1, 2, 3? Knock knock, in there?" he playfully knocked on her forehead. "You look good. Really good" Meera came out of her trance and let out the breath she hadn't known she was holding. "Only good?" he pouted. Fuck.

"Handsome, really handsome" she muttered as she tried to get to the bathroom but was intercepted by a huge pouting bear. "Only handsome?" he was smirking now. The audacity these brats have! "I need to get to the washroom. Please move aside" she pressed her lips tightly. "Only if you don't avoid me after this" he held up his pinky. "Seriously?" she grumbled. "Okay fine. Now move" she said after intertwining her pinky to his. "As you say" he smiled mischievously as he moved to the side.
