Capítulo 59: Mission Start
After more than enough kisses and some more confessions, Taehyung returned to his car. Taehyung went home to shower and changed into a brand new black suit and a matching black tie. He arrived at the restaurant at around 6 PM. As he was being led to a table for two, he started to feel nervous and excited at the same time.
Excited because he was sure that his feeling was one-sided once again, but he was wrong. It was an amazing feeling to know that the other has mutual feelings and she even agreed to be his girlfriend.
But he was nervous because although she had already agreed to be his girlfriend, their relationship could possibly break before it could even properly start.
He thought back to their conversation and confession from earlier.
'I like you ever since I first saw you Taehyung. I was scared that if you knew that I like you, you'd stop coming to see me. I really didn't think you would feel the same way for someone like me so I pretended to be annoyed when in fact I loved it when you were around, bugging me.'
'Hmmm, you're a pretty good actress Haeun. You almost made me believe that you were seriously not interested in me and that I fell for another girl who would not return my feelings.'
'A-another girl?'
Taehyung internally curses at himself for letting it slipped, but he didn't want to start a new relationship based on lies so be decided to be truthful to Haeun.
'I don't want to lie to you. There was a girl who I fell deeply in love with, but my feelings for her would never be returned because she was in love with Jin Hyung and Hyung loves her a lot too.'
'Is she.... Is she your brother's girlfriend? That Minji nurse that you were upset at me for when we first met? Or was it the Jisoo girl?'
Taehyung shut his eyes with much difficulty because he knew this conversation wasn't going to end well, but he needed to be truthful. No more lies. He opened his eyes back up and looked deeply into Haeun's eyes in hope that she would understand him.
'Minji and Jisoo is the same person. And yes, she was the girl but I can promise you that I don't love her anymore...'
'L-love... you said you were in like with me only, but you l-love her?'
Taehyung knew he had messed it all up. He let out a deep sigh before answering her.
'I loved her Haeun, as in past tense. I knew how much Jisoo loves Jin Hyung and that I would never get a chance with her. So instead of getting her to love me back, I choose to step back and help her with Jin Hyung. I told you when we first met, that it was complicated between Jin and Jisoo, but I'm willing to explain and tell you everything.'
The smile that was on her beautiful face just minutes before was nowhere to be seen. Haeun looked like she was internally debating if she had made a terrible mistake in agreeing to be Taehyung's girlfriend. So as much as he wanted this relationship to blossom between them, he knew he had to let her make her choice. He gently held her hands in his before speaking.
'Haeun, I know this is a lot for you to take in right now but I meant every word I said to you. I do like you and I still want you to be my girlfriend, but I'll let you choose. I'll be at Yoo's Italian Cuisine. If you decided that this is too much for you, then you don't have to come meet me. I'll be waiting until 9 PM, if you don't show up by then, I'll know that you no longer want to see me and I won't bother you anymore. But if you still want to be my girlfriend, if you still want this like between us to become love, then come to meet me. I really hope you will come....'
Taehyung bit his lips as he waited for Haeun's answer. He stares at his watch on his right wrist and it read 8:30 PM.
Please show up Haeun... I really don't want to lose you...
Taehyung has been a nervous wreck the moment he sat down when he arrived. Sipping on his water and refusing to order and continuing to wait. He would glance at his watch over and over again.
8:45 PM
Please, please come and give me a chance...
8:50 PM
Haeun-ah.. jebal...
8:59 PM
Taehyung felt the tears starting to build up in his eyes as he watched the time changed to 9 PM. He closes his eyes and let the hot tears fall down his face. His head lowered into his hand as he sat defeated and lonely as she didn't show up.
She had made her choice and he had to respect her decision, although it tore his heart apart. He finally found someone who shared the same feelings as him, but he lost her even before he could properly get a chance.
He sat in his seat unmoved and in the same position as the time passed slowly. He felt like he had no energy left. His legs refused to move. He did nothing but let silent tears fall into his palm. By the time he was ready to finally get up and leave it was already 10:30 PM.
He slowly walked back to his car with his head hung low, not giving a care to look where he was going. His eyes only followed the path in front of him in a daze. He could hear the clicking of a women's footstep in front of him but he didn't bother to lift his head until he saw the nude heels click to a stop in front of him.
He gradually lifts his head up to see Haeun standing in a beautiful white dress, with the brightest smile upon her lips.
His eyes widen at the sight of her and his mouth hung open at how beautiful she looked. Her long hair hung with loose curls, just the way he liked. Her make up was done to the minimal and her long lashes made her eyes look twice as big.
"It took you one and a half hour to leave the restaurant and come out here. Have you calm down enough now?"
"H-huh?" Taehyung knitted his brows in confusion at Haeun's comment.
She let out a tiny cough before turning shy and broke eye contact with Taehyung. She started playing with her hands while keeping her gaze down towards the ground, explaining herself to Taehyung.
"I was really upset earlier when you told me you loved another before me. I couldn't help but felt like I was a replacement for her. When I got home, I really fought with myself. My mind told me I was just a rebound and to not show myself tonight, but my heart told me differently..."
Haeun shyly rocks on her heels, not being able to keep still. Her heart pounded loudly in her ribcage and she wanted to pour her feelings out to the man in front of her.
"... and my heart is telling me that I like you. I like you and that I should come meet you. I arrived here at around 8 PM but pondered on if I wanted to come inside or not. I kept telling myself that I needed to at least hear your explanation. So with that excuse, I entered the restaurant. When I saw you, you looked so nervous and anxious. I saw how you constantly checked your time waiting for me and well..."
She bit her lips with guilt, not being able to look up at Taehyung.
"... I was childish and I couldn't help but feel like I wanted to make you hurt a tiny bit for making me upset earlier. I wanted to see how you would react if I didn't come, so I ended up not showing myself to you. I hid and waited until 9. I was going to show myself after I saw how you reacted, but you cried because of me. I realized then that you must care about me and I just couldn't face you after. So I came out here first to wait for you. I hoped that you would calm down by the time you came out. I'm sorry Taehyung. I hope you're not too mad at me....." Haeun quietly whispered out the last part as she nervously waited for his response.
"You-you..." Taehyung was speechless. He felt so many mixed emotions inside of him that started to build up. Anger, happiness, fury, ecstatic, but mostly relief. He couldn't even stay mad at the tiny girl in front of him. They way she cutely bit her lip and looked like such an adorable little child melted his heart.
He moved quickly and before she knew it, he had pulled her into his arms. He hugged her close to him and both their hearts beat simultaneously.
"I really thought that I had lost you..."
Taehyung pulls away slightly from the hug and gave Haeun a light peck on her lips. He rests his forehead on hers before softly speaking.
"I'm sorry for upsetting you earlier and thank you for giving me a chance. I won't make you upset anymore, because I like you Haeun. So much..."
And Taehyung moves in to close the distance between their lips. He kisses her deeply and with so much passion that he felt his heart was going to explode. She kissed back with the same passion letting out tiny moans into the kiss. They shared a few more minutes under the moonlight in each other's presence before entering the restaurant, hand in hand, for their first official date as a couple.
As they ate, the two asked questions and got to know more about each other. Their likes, dislikes, favorite food, hobbies, etc. It was getting later in the night now and while sipping on some wine, Haeun asked about Jisoo.
"So um... about Minji or Jisoo, why does she have two names?"
"It's a long story. You sure you want to hear about it?"
Knowing that this Jisoo or Minji girl was someone who Taehyung loved at one point did hurt a little bit, but she couldn't help but be curious about her. Haeun nods to answer Taehyung as she prepares herself.
Taehyung started from the beginning. He told everything to Haeun, from how Jisoo entered their life, to Sunni and Jin, to Jin becoming blind, and to all the lies that he told Jisoo and Jin. He said everything and didn't leave a single detail out. Whatever Haeun asked, Taehyung made sure to answer.
Haeun's heart ached for Jisoo even though she didn't personally know her. Why must she leave Jin when they loved each other so much? She wiped a tear that had silently fallen down her cheeks as she listens to Taehyung.
After Taehyung finished explaining everything to Haeun, she had come to an understanding of why Taehyung had given up on Jisoo. Why Taehyung's love for Jisoo could never be and honestly speaking, it hurt a lot. But Haeun can't do anything about it. It was the past when Haeun and Taehyung didn't know each other yet. And he is now hers so Haeun sniffles before quickly wiping away her tears.
"Taehyung, I want Jin and Jisoo to get back together. Isn't there anything that we can do?"
Taehyung let a grin falls upon his face as he heard what his girlfriend has just said.
"Remember when I asked you for a favor earlier?"
Haeun nods to answer Taehyung.
"Well, I need your help as an official nurse to get Jisoo to go see Jin Hyung. She's determined to leave Hyung, but I know she still loves Hyung. I heard her myself. She won't see Hyung, but if Hyung becomes blind again, she won't be able to resist him and go running back to Jin Hyung."
"What?! You want me to turn your brother blind again?!"
"Pabo-yah, we're going to just pretend that Hyung is blind again. Remember he doesn't know that Jisoo is Minji. And since I've promised Jisoo that I won't ever tell Hyung that she is Jisoo, I'll just let her show herself to Hyung."
"And how are we going to get your brother to play along?"
"I already told him I have a plan. I just haven't mentioned the details to him yet. I'll be sure to let him know soon though."
Haeun smiled brightly and held her hand out for Taehyung to shake.
"Okay, I'm on board. Mission, get your brother and his girlfriend back together."
Taehyung let out a loud laugh before grabbing Haeun's hand firmly. He shook it and nodded at his girlfriend.
"Mission start!" They both called out in unison.

Shookieillegirl Another chapter for Taeun. I needed a filler chapter to explain why Haeun was needed for Taehyung's plan. So much dramas for Tae and Haeun even when they aren't the main charaters. I'm just an overly dramatic person. Lol...
