Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Jisoo had a dream.

In that dream, Taehyung was working in his study. She made him a cup of hot tea and when she put it on his desk, he reached out his hands and dragged her into his arms. This was such a familiar scene, which had happened so many times in the past year that she smiled during her sleep.

Suddenly, they went to the bed, with taehyung’s body pressing from above, and all she could see was the contour of his body. He murmured, “Kim Jisoo, only death could do us apart.”

Jisoo opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. They were in the resort in Taiwan, and the sun was blazing outside. It was still daytime, so she wondered why she would have such a strange dream. Taehyung would never say anything so sensational as “Only death could do us apart”. Even if he wanted to express that sentiment, he would say it in a mighty way, “No chance I will let go a person that I trade with my heart.”

She put on a smile and rolled out of her bed. Taehyung was sitting on the sling chair on the porch outside. Jisoo sighed and thought to herself, “We’re doing exactly what  Jimin said, collecting money at home. I can still remember how busy we were, and now one of us is taking an afternoon nap and the other is enjoying the sunshine.”

She randomly picked a pair of flip-flops and put them on. She walked to him and gave him a kiss on his neck. “Having a dream about me?” Taehyung asked.

“How did you guess?” Jisoo was dazed.

Taehyung grinned, pulled her into his arms and they sat on the sling chair together, with the chair swaying. The chair was made a long time ago; it was smooth, bright, and comfortable to touch.

As a matter of fact, Taehyung knew this because he had overheard Jisoo talking in her dream, “Taehyung, Taehyung...” And the corner of her lips was curved up.

“Instinct,” he, however, answered with a white lie.

Jisoo opened her eyes wide, thought about it and nodded, “synced minds.” Actually, she was thinking of the phrase, “empathy between bodies and souls”, but saying such thing to Taehyung equated to seduction, so she didn’t let it slip.

All ladies would be moved by “synced minds”. Jisoo blinked, hooked his neck and asked, “Why do we always see eye to eye with each other?”

Taehyung stared at her face, “Because we have empathy between our bodies and souls?” Taehyung rendered her speechless and put her lips on his. After this silent but passionate kiss, Jisoo sat on his thighs and looked out at the farms, roads and factories.

They were meant for each other now, unlike a year ago when lots of conflicts existed between them. Time flew, as did the conflicts.

Jisoo recalled the most serious dispute between them, and it was not because of Aito. It was three months after that, when Layover was secretly designing a new brand of leisure bags to prepare for a launch and Jisoo’s team was responsible for marketing plans.

No matter how well their minds were aligned with each other, it was impossible for them to agree on everything. That time, the plan designed by Jisoo’s team was vetoed by Taehyung, who said only three words, “No. Redo it.”

In reality, she hadn’t worked on the majority of the plan. Instead, it was one of her subordinates, with support from others on the team who pulled lot of all-nighters to finish it. The subordinate was a young girl; and being criticized like that by her boss in public made her want to shed tears. As for Park Jimin and Liu Tong, they wouldn’t give much thought to a staff member at her level. After reviewing the plan, they censored it too.

Jisoo’s heart was broken seeing her subordinate dejected in that manner. She thought it was a great plan. Obeying seniors’ direction was key, but it was also important to voice her own opinions. She stood up and began to illustrate her thoughts. Jisoo’s personality, as Taehyung had once said, was sometimes even bolder than a man, especially when she was trying to reason with people. She brought up eight points to show the plan was great.
