If I Ain't Got You (vsoo...ft. liskook)

11.

What happened to her that moment why she didn't made any effort to push him away.

" Good...have you had dinner " her dad asked taehyung on which he shoke his head, it's true he didn't eat anything today...today wasn't good day until he got to see her.

" Let's eat together then...Jisoo will cook fast, we haven't eaten as well" her dad says glancing over jisoo who simultaneously look towards her father who just nods and then taehyung who had his usual smirk.

Without saying anything jisoo went inside kitchen. Just attached with living room.

Her house isn't big as his but enough for three people to live happily. Kitchen along with living room, two bedrooms spacious enough with attached washrooms. One for her parents and other one for herself.

Here taehyung was first time talking so comfortably with someone, from what happened with his hand, what he do for living, where he live, about lisa being his childhood friend, he has one twin brother, how he meet jisoo and many more.

But his gaze never leaves from one who was just infront of him. He can clearly see her being so immerged in work.

Wearing apron looking like so calm even after his act, he couldn't help but fall for her. Glancing once and while he smile towards her father who compliment on something.

" Good...you seem like a responsible son " her dad say and take break from long introduction.

Soon jisoo serve dinner and call her dad who invite taehyung for dinner who politely followed after him.

Taking sit infront of her dad he glance over her who served them and took seat, well beside her dad.

Dinner was held with full of peaceful silence with jisoo being shocked because of how polite and well manner he seem.

Where his arrogant aura went away.

Taehyung was seething. His parents always seemed to test his patience, and now they wanted him to attend a business partner's son's wedding. Not just attend, but go with his fiancée, Lisa, and play the part of the perfect, doting couple.

He liked Lisa, sure. She was charming and sweet. But in his mind, she wasn’t someone he saw romantically, no matter how perfect she seemed on paper. And spending time abroad, pretending to be an engaged couple for a wedding, felt like an unnecessary hassle.

Huffing in frustration, he picked up his phone and dialed his assistant. Moments later, his assistant walked in with a stack of documents requiring his signature.

“Boss, these need your—” the assistant began, but was cut off when Taehyung's phone buzzed on the desk. Lisa’s name flashed on the screen.

Taehyung held up a finger to excuse himself and answered the call. Lisa’s voice came through, surprised but excited.

“Oppa! We’re going to Paris for the wedding?” she asked eagerly.

“Yes,” Taehyung replied curtly, leaning back in his chair.

“Then… it’s just you and me? Oppa, can we take Kook with us? I mean, he’s already going to be in Nice for an award show. He could join us, and we’d have so much fun together. I mean...” Lisa trailed off, hopeful.

Taehyung sighed, already regretting picking up the call. “Lisa, I know what you’re trying to say, but it’s not possible. Kook is busy with his new album. You know he won’t come.”

Gesturing for his assistant to leave the files on the table, Taehyung prepared himself for what was clearly going to be a long conversation.

“I can convince him,” Lisa insisted. “And we could take Jisoo too!”

That made Taehyung pause. His parents had sent only two tickets, but buying two more was hardly a problem. He could afford it. But would Jisoo really come? Would she agree to join them? The thought lingered in his mind longer than he expected.

“I’ll convince them both,” Lisa added cheerfully.

“No,” Taehyung interrupted after a pause. His tone softened, almost as if he were considering the idea. “I’ll do it.”

Before she could say more, he hung up and immediately called Jungkook’s manager, arranging a few days off for his younger brother.

Two hours before the flight, the airport was buzzing with activity. Lisa was already there, luggage in hand, but Taehyung and Jisoo were nowhere to be seen. Taehyung had been stuck at the office, distracted with finalizing documents after arranging everything. In his rush, he had forgotten to call Jisoo.

Jisoo, meanwhile, was blissfully unaware of the plan. She had spent the day helping her father in their small café after visiting her mother. She was brewing a fresh pot of coffee when her father’s voice called out from the front.

“Jisoo! Your friend is waiting outside. Go join them! Don’t worry about me, just have fun.”

Jisoo frowned, confused. Friend? Lisa hadn’t mentioned anything about coming over. Setting the brewed coffee aside, she stepped outside the café and looked around. But Lisa wasn’t there. Before she could turn back, she bumped into someone—hard.

Rubbing her forehead, she looked up, and of course, it had to be Kim Taehyung.

“Were you looking for me, baby?” he asked smugly, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Jisoo rolled her eyes, ignoring his teasing tone, and tried to step past him, but he blocked her path.

“Where do you think you’re going? Your bags are already in my car,” Taehyung said, crossing his arms as he raised an eyebrow at her.

Jisoo stared at him in disbelief. “What are you talking about?”

Taehyung smirked and gestured toward his sleek black Mercedes-Benz parked nearby. “You’re coming with us. Don’t worry, your father already gave his permission. All you have to do is get in the car and enjoy this trip with me.” His voice dropped to a whisper as he leaned closer. “It’ll be fun.”

Jisoo narrowed her eyes, still skeptical, but Taehyung quickly sensed her hesitation. Pouting playfully, he tilted his head. “Aish, don’t you trust me even a little?”

She hated to admit it, but the way he looked, with his childish pout, almost made her laugh. Almost.

“I never said I—”

“You don’t have a choice,” Taehyung interrupted, cutting her off with a knowing smirk. He leaned down slightly, meeting her eyes as his tone turned teasing. “First, Lisa insists. She says it’s your punishment for hiding your part-time job from her. And second, if you refuse, you’ll have to pay me back for your ticket.” He paused, letting his words sink in before adding, “Twice the amount.”

Jisoo blinked, stunned by his audacity. “You’re unbelievable.”

“And yet, here I am,” Taehyung quipped, flashing a cocky grin. “So, what’s it going to be, baby?”
