Taehyung looked at the empty table across from him, the corners of his mouth slightly rising as he imagined the conversation he had just had with the female lead.
"Oh no... I feel better than I thought."
"Surely you wouldn't have tailed me... Surely you wouldn't have tailed mefiancee"You... followed me with a tail?"
When Taehyung said the word "fiancee" a little forcefully, as if telling Jimin to listen, Jimin's brow furrowed slightly.
But that was all, without answering Taehyung's words, he quietly took out his cell phone and thrust an article in front of Taehyung's eyes.
TH Group's Kim Tae-hyung and YJ Group's Lee Yeo-joo
A date you enjoy secretly...?
Taehyung only read the headline and then looked away from the article as if it wasn't worth reading anymore, letting out a faint sigh.
Anyway, reporters... are no help. They'll reveal it when the time comes, so what's all the fuss about? They're just impatient because they can't catch them. They met at different times, so how on earth did they manage to fit it all together? They're lucky.
But while Taehyung was lamenting the reporters with such a displeased expression, Jimin still stood there silently, then reached out and grabbed Taehyung's shoulder, pushing him back a little. The hand holding his shoulder was filled with a powerful grip that no one knew about. And Taehyung knew very well why.
And at that very moment, Jimin muttered in a low voice so that only Taehyung could hear.
"If you don't want to give the reporters another story to tell, just go back inside quietly. I have something to say."

In the private room where silence had fallen, unlike Taehyung who was leisurely swirling his glass and drinking the wine inside, Jimin was just looking at Taehyung with his hands clasped and a cold expression on his face.
And then finally...Jimin opened his mouth.
"The speculative article you just showed me...is it true?"
"Oh, it's true. We're already engaged. It's just that the article hasn't come out yet..."
Jimin was shocked by Taehyung's casual conversation as if it was nothing special.bangdoing He jumped up from his seat, slamming his fist on the table with a loud noise.
"How could you do that..! You...you..."
We're classmates
"You know exactly how we've been... and you're engaged? How could you do that..?! "
Kim Taehyung, a regular kid who wore glasses and his bangs covered his eyes during his school days, a kid who didn't have much of a presence, so even though they were the same name and age, he would come to see him without hesitation... Jimin was sure of it when he saw him and spoke informally to him in a familiar way.
Jimin's excited voice echoed throughout the room, and when the echoes had died down somewhat... Taehyung's cold gaze fell on Jimin.
"You were the one who threw it away first..."
" what..? "
"I'm not messing with a married person. What does that have to do with me getting engaged to a woman whose engagement was broken off?"
After saying that, Taehyung seemed to get a little excited and slowly got up from his seat as he continued talking.
"You don't know, I had it all since I was born. I was always at the center of everyone. Back then, I really had nothing."
But finally... finally, I'm finally getting a little closer to you. Can't I get engaged to the female protagonist? Why do you think only you can? I never thought I could have it, nor did I ever covet it. But...
"I gave you a chance to wish for me,
It's you, Park Jimin."
I don't know about you, but... I've given up on her countless times.
For the past...9 years...
