Chapter One: Number
Taehyung's POV
"Taehyung over here!" I turn my head towards the voice and I saw Baehyung-hyung waving his hands at me.
I smiled and wave my hands and walk toward him.
"Anhyeong, hyung" I greeted before sitting in front of him.
"Nado. Wahhh..... Jimin's right when he said that you're new hair color looks delicious" he says and then laugh.
I frown. "Yah! Why do you always bully my new hair color? "
"Because it looks like a candy"
"No it's not"
"Yes it is. Even Army's think so too"
I rolled my eyes at him. I've read some of Army's comments that my hair look like a candy. Even my member's, Minjae and my Hwarang hyung's thinks too.
"All right. I lose."I give up.
He chuckled. "Anyway, let's order first before we talk"
I nodded. He called a waitress and we ordered.
We're in a cafe right now. It's a good thing that this cafe opened at 5 a.m. so there's no many costumers right now.
While waiting for our order, I decided to start a conversation.
"I wanted to congratulate you for your new song" I said.
"Thanks. It's been a while since I released a new song."
"Right and I'm glad that I could hear your voice again"
"Haha. Anyway, congrats also for the success of your comeback. I was shocked that you collaborated with Nicki Minaj. Everyone was surprised. "
I nodded. "Yeah. We're glad when she accepted our proposal."
"You're really is gaining more popularity all over the world."
I smiled. "Thanks"
Not long enough, our order came.
I took a bite from my red velvet cake before sipping in my chocolate drink.
"So, what's the favor you've been saying last night?" he asked and I almost choked because of shock and nervous.
"Hey, hey. Are you okay?"
He handed me some napkin and I accept it to wipe my mouth.
When I stop coughing, I look at him nervously and bite my lips.
"About that... I don't know if you can help me but I'm trying my luck here.. " I scratched the back of my head before continuing".... I want to asked for Sooyoung's number"
His eyes widened. "Sooyoung? You mean, Joy from Red Velvet?"
I nodded and smiled shyly.
He stare at me for a brief moment before he start laughing.
"I see. So you're ready to cross the line, huh?"
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm ready to start my move."
"Wow. You're really a grown up now. "
I chuckled. "I think I am"
"But Taehyung... "
I look at him.
"You know what could happen do you? " he asked with a serious tone.
My smile faded and stare at him. Of course I know what could happen after making this decision. And I'm ready to face the consequence.
I nodded.
"You could lose everything you have right now. Are you really sure about this?"
I smiled and nodded. "Yes, hyung"
He smiled and patted my shoulder.
"You're a strong person, Taehyung. Don't make the same mistake I've done before"
"Of course, hyung"
"Anyway, here's Sooyoung's number"
He handed me his phone. I took my phone out of my pocket and save Sooyoung's number.
Sooyoung 💜💜
I smiled before giving back his phone.
"Thanks, hyung"
He wave his hand. "That's no big deal. By the way, what makes you change your mind?"
I shrugged. "Actually, it just came into my mind when I saw her last night at SOBA. I just thought that maybe, it's already time. But first, I have to be close to her first before I'll start courting her"
"So you really plan it already? You're such a lover boy. Haha"
I grinned at him. "I really am, hyung. For years now"
"But, I'm just going to give you some tips. As I observed, Sooyoung don't interact with boys that much-well, except for us who came from SM. So I guess, you'll be having a hard time before being close to her"
"I already know that, hyung. Minjae and Sunjae-hyung told me about that. Since, they had worked with her before. And I already prepared myself for that. That's why I'm going start from getting her number"
"Well I guess you don't tips anymore for you already had your research..." he looked at his watch "....I think I have to go now. I still have some scheduled for today"
"Oh. Well then, thank you for the favor, hyung. It's nice meeting you again"
We both stand up and hugged each other. He patted my back.
"That's no big deal, Tae. And good luck. Bye"
We broke the hug.
"Bye"
