Chapter 18: The Past Comes Back To Haunt You
Joanna's eyes widened in horror when she realized the owner of the pair of eyes she had been glaring straight at. 'No no no please let this be a trick on my eyes. He can't be.. he can't be... Danny.' Joanna prayed as the man before her smiled widely at encountering his ex-girlfriend right next to the coffee shop they would always go to in the past. "Hey Joanna." He greeted cheerfully as she forced a smile while Taehyung scowled at Danny. 'Who the hell is this guy?' Taehyung thought as his gaze darkened when it landed on Danny.
Joanna frowned seeing Danny fidget in his spot until she turned and saw her sweet boyfriend glaring at her ex. If the situation wasn't so awkward, she probably would have done the same. "What are you doing here?" Joanna questioned with a bored tone and blank look as Danny slightly winced. Her nonchalant behavior took a jab at his heart and ego. "Well, we didn't really end on good terms back then, and I thought maybe we could just talk? But I didn't expect to see you out here. Who is this man?" Danny asked, with a frown and not liking how close Joanna was to him.
"He's my-." Taehyung had cut her off as he wrapped an arm around Joanna's waist. "I'm her boyfriend and we've been dating for almost two years now." Taehyung blurted out, eagerly marking his territory through words as he caressed her hand. Joanna smiled amusedly at his possessive behavior, as she smirked at Danny. "Yeah, I've found someone who loves me and didn't cheat on me 1 year into the relationship." Taehyung bit the insides of his cheek to hide his amusement of the shade that Joanna threw and clearly didn't bother to be low-key about it. "Joanna-!" Danny started as Taehyung quickly shuffled himself in front of Joanna and gently pushed Danny back.
"I'm pretty sure she made it clear just now that she's moved on. Moved on to someone who actually loves her and cherishes her." Taehyung hated physically attacking people but really enjoyed unleashing the shade on Danny for having hurt Joanna in the past. "Excuse me, this has nothing to do with you! You bast-!" Danny was cut off by someone taking a swing at his jaw which ultimately made him land on the ground. "No one talks about my boyfriend like that. Especially not you, who is a despicable and cheap jerk!" Joanna snapped as she sighed angrily and swiped at her knuckles.
Taehyung's eyes widened as he rushed up to Joanna and examined her knuckles. Her brows furrowed when he began scolding her as she frowned. "Jagi, please don't do that again. What if something happened?? I can't imagine what would happen if you got hurt." Taehyung confessed as Joanna's face softened and a smile adorned her lips. " Sorry Taehyung oppa." Joanna muttered as she began doing aegyo to cease his scolding and cheer him up.
Taehyung nearly went crazy as Joanna began blowing kisses and winking at him, he whined as he pulled her into an embrace. "Aish Jagi, what am I going to do with you~??" Joanna giggled amidst his whining while she hugged him back just as tightly as he hugged her. Despite how there were no hard feelings at the moment, she knew Danny wouldn't let things end so easily like that, he's bound to be back. She just needed to prepare herself for when he would show up again.
Jungkook and Teresa were in the studio together, she worked on the computer for it was allegedly "broken" as Jungkook put it. She frowned and furrowed her eyebrows when she noticed his gaze never leaving her face. "Oppa, is there something on my face?" Teresa asked innocently as Jungkook's boyish smile made her heart skip a beat. "Aish Jagi, you're so dense!" Jungkook exclaimed playfully and laughed heartily as he threw his arms around her. "Nothing's wrong with the computer, I just wanted to spend time with you." Jungkook confessed as Teresa's mouth dropped and she lightly smacked him. "Ugh I can't believe I fell for that." Teresa said with a chuckle as she hugged him back.
Jungkook slightly fidgeted in his spot as he considered what he was about to ask Teresa. "um Jagi?" Teresa looked at him curiously after hearing his nervous tone. "Yes? What do you need?" Teresa asked softly as she turned around in his arms. "How do you feel about having kids?" Jungkook asked quietly as Teresa's eyes widened for a split second. "Um I'm not really sure. I mean I like playing with Suho and Chae Young but I'm not sure about us having our own kids." Teresa confessed as she played with the ends of her ponytail as Jungkook's face fell for a split second. "Oh, I see." Jungkook answered, dejected as Teresa felt guilty.
"Oppa, I really want to start a family with you but I guess I don't trust myself to be a good mom.." Teresa answered as she cupped Jungkook's face. "But jagi, you'll be a great mother! You take such good care of me and shower me with love each and every single day." Jungkook beamed as he cupped her face and gently kissed her.
"You really believe that?" Teresa asked softly, after pulling away from the kiss for air. Jungkook sighed as he kissed her forehead and nodded. "Yes, I believe that with all my heart. Seeing Suho and Chae Young induced a sense of envy in me.." Jungkook professed shyly as he caressed her head. "Really? Well, I guess we're ready for our own kids." Teresa mumbled as Jungkook cheered and embraced her tightly. "Ah, I love you!!"
Jin, Emily and Chae Young, Namjoon, Sheri and Suho came to see Sheri at work. "So lucky, huh? All you do is eat and you get paid for it." Jin complained playfully as Emily and Sheri laughed heartily while hugging each other. "Good luck!" Emily cheered as Sheri smiled at the crowd. "Aigoo Oppa, are you jealous?" Emily teased as she pinched his cheek while Jin pouted and puffed his cheeks out. Chae Young giggled and tugged on his hand to be picked up as she lathered his face with kisses. "You don't need to be jealous, Appa~."
Sheri sat in the middle with two men on either sides of her, preparing herself to finish the large-sized bowl of noodles. "Good luck, Jagi!" "Go, Umma!!" Namjoon and Suho cheered as Sheri smiled briefly at them before quickly getting into position.
The speed of her eating was so quick that it was as if she inhaled her food. Her efforts didn't go to waste for the two other men's jaw dropped as they saw Sheri's face practically buried into the bowl of soup. One hand was used to wipe her sweat before quickly going back to holding the bowl and inhaling the tasty and tangy strips of noodles.
"She's winning!!" They all cheered as Sheri finally put the bowl down and swallowed all the food in her mouth. " I won!" Sheri declared as she ran over to hug Namjoon and Suho. The two men hung their head as they silently walked out while Sheri was presented the award. Emily and them quickly hugged Sheri right after as Jin grumbled once again for not having a job that Sheri does. "You did an amazing job!" Emily cheered as she tightly hugged Sheri.
"Auntie Sheri, how did you eat so fast?" Chae Young questioned curiously with sparkling child-like excitement as Sheri giggled and pinched her cheeks. " I eat fast like that in general, so why not make money out of it?" Sheri answered as she bent over to pick up Suho. "I'm so proud of my wife." Namjoon beamed in pride as Sheri playfully smacked him.
Mella and Yoongi were cuddling in the living room of the dorm when Yoongi began massaging her shoulders. Mella knew he was up to something but wanted to tease him by pretending to be unaware, however he ended up surprising her. He didn't say anything, a smile was on his lips when he saw how relaxed Mella got, thanks to his massage.
Their ferret was running around the house until he landed on Mella's lap, however Yoongi quickly put him back into his cage, wanting Mella's attention and affection all to himself. "Yoongi oppa is the best!" Mella cheered as she leaned up slightly to place a kiss on his lips happily. "I love you." Yoongi remarked with exceptional excitement and affection as Mella blushed heavily. "I love you too."
"Can I listen to your song after? You were working so hard last night." Mella cooed which made Yoongi even more delighted as he pecked her forehead. "Ah, how did I find someone as precious as you?" Yoongi playfully questioned as he began massaging her scalp.
Sofia and J-hope were running at the pier as J-hope was ecstatic at bonding with his wife through exercise. "Jagi, should we run another mile?" J-hope asked excitedly as Sofia glared at him through her heavy breathing. "We ran...4..miles! I'm not running anymore!" Sofia whined as J-hope laughed heartily and interlocked his hand with hers. "What if I carried you on my back?" J-hope asked hopefully as Sofia reluctantly nodded.
"Yay! I get to run with my princess on my back!!" J-hope yelled out happily as Sofia buried her face into his shoulder. "Aish J-hope oppa!" Sofia whined before locking her arms around his neck. She got scared when he sped up but at the same time she knew he wouldn't let her fall. He would always be there to catch her.
"Jagi, when did you start liking me?" J-hope asked cheekily as Sofia rolled her eyes and chuckled. "When I came across your picture on social media and my heart fluttered. Ever since meeting you in person, my life feels like it's just a dream. But even so, I don't want to wake up. I want to spend my life with you in this dreamscape." Sofia confessed as J-hope blushed and held her tighter against him. "I love you, Jagi and this is reality because the thought of losing you hurts me physically, not just emotionally." His heart-felt words made Sofia clutch him tighter.
Natalie and Jimin were once again at the park, hanging out and messing around with each other. When a certain girl ran up to him and frowned at Natalie, while Natalie frowned back. "Jiminnie, who is this?" She asked in a whiny voice that annoyed Natalie who links her arm with Jimin. "She's my girlfriend." Jimin answered as he pulled Natalie against him and kissed her head. While she frowned and tugged at his hand. "How could you have a girlfriend?"She whined as Natalie scoffed in disbelief.
"Eunji, we're just friends. So please don't interfere with my love life." Jimin warned, not liking how his childhood friend was treating his girlfriend. She glared at Natalie and stormed off while Natalie radiated with the vibe of triumph. Jimin was terrified, thinking Natalie was mad until she faced him with a smile and cupped his face. "I love you, Jimin oppa. And I really love how you were quick to jump to my defense." Jimin smiled delightfully and quickly pulled her into a hug.
Taehyung and Joanna came back to the dorm, hand in hand and relaxed. However, Joanna just couldn't shake off the thought that Danny would certainly come back to ruin what she had sustained with Taehyung. "Jagi, are you okay?" Taehyung asked sweetly as Joanna forced a smile and nodded her head. "Yeah, everything is all good."
