Talking Body Chapter Thirteen [+18]
Chapter Thirteen Few weeks went by, and things were busy as ever. Ji Su was running around making the final preparations for each outfit she made for the men’s line. The seven men that lived across from her all said yes on the last night of the camping trip. So, each week she had one or two of the men to try on each outfit to see which style fits and the size needed to be changed. Surprisingly, only Namjoon and Hoseok were the only ones that the style she chose for them worked. As for the size it was the same, no change needed. Yoongi style worked but his size had to be change a few times. Ji Su made a comment to him that he was like a bride the either gain or lost the weight. He laughed at her when he walked out. Today she was working on Jimin and Taehyung. She really hoped nothing would change with them. “You give of the boy next door vibe. What do you think?” Ji Su took a step back to look at her work on him. This was his last outfit he was trying on. So far, the other two worked with style and size. Jimin looked in the mirror. “I would say that I agree with you. Man, I make all those ladies swoon over me.” He joked looking back and Ji Su. “Glad you agree. Everything seems too good with this one. You are good to change.” With that said Jimin step down from the fitting platform and went behind the screen to change back into his street clothes. Ji Su went to her desk to make a note to put Jimin’s outfits the ‘done’ section. Jimin walked out once he was dressed and handed his outfit, he had on to her. “Have you by chance know what is going on with Tae?” he asked her. She looked up at him seeing the defeat and worry for his best friend, brother. “No, I have not but I am seeing him sometime today. If you want, I could speak with him. If what he says is something that needs to be addressed, I will let you know, but if it is nothing, I just message you that everything all good with him.” “I do not care how serious it is I just want to know if he is sleeping and eating all right. That is all I care about.” Jimin admitted. “I will give it my best shot so just be patient.” “I will.” A knock on her door drew their attention to Mi Sun walking in. She was in her ‘all business’ walk. Something must have come up to have Mi Sun walking in. “I hope you are not planning to leave early today. You have a meeting with Dan Bi, the maknae of XOXO. She is needing a sponsor and we need someone to promote our clothes, so I agreed. We sign contracts and then go over a few details.” Mi Sun handed her a file with everything she needed to know. Ji Su took and placed on her desk. “Also, Tae is here.” With that Mi Sun walked out. Seconds passed and Jimin turned to look at Ji Su. “What the hell is her problem?” he asked. “Well, if could be her mother, could be that Jin isn’t you know doing the deed, could be me when she caught me doing the deed with someone on the kitchen counter, or it could just be work.” “Hold up she caught you having sex with some random dude in your kitchen?” Ji Su sighed seeing that was the only piece of information he caught. Yes, Ji Su and Jungkook had a sex marathon for the remaining days in the cabin. When there were two days left Mi Sun chose to walk in with Jungkook and Ji Su in an intimate position. On the kitchen counter and Jungkook’s head between her legs. To be honest that morning he told her was hungry but not for food. Mi Sun just happened to walk in when Ji Su orgasmed for the third time that morning. She was just embarrassed as Mi Sun. “Yeah, in the cabin, our yearly trip that we call camping. She just happened to come and check up on me after getting back and yes, she has not spoken to me since. I do not blame her; I would be scarred if I walked in on her and Jin. I would have an eye replacement.” That made Jimin laugh as he walked out telling her to have good day. Ji Su walked over to the rack and grab Taehyung’s clothes when he walked in. Ji Su took a double take when she saw him. His hair was all disoriented, clothes all wrinkled with stains, and his face there were no words to explain how haggard he looked. Something was going on and that would explain Jimin’s worry for his friend. Ji Su made her way to him and handed him the clothes. Told him to change into one and then come back so she could look to see if there were any changes. He said nothing and went to change into the first outfit. Fifteen minutes went by as they worked on changes on the last outfit. The other two worked and fit, except this one. This outfit gives out the eighty’s bad boy vibe, which fits him perfectly for style, but a tad too big for him. Ji Su was pinning the pants pulling it in some and the writing it down. Then she moved to his shirt. She stared at it trying to figure out how to pull it in some without disrupting the image she was trying to portray. “You could just leave the shirt. I usually wear my shirts this way when I head to the clubs at night.” Taehyung suggested in that deep voice of his. His voice seemed to always throw her off with how deep it was. “But it is really lose on you. As if it will fall off when you walk.” Ji Su counter with him. “Did you lose weight recently?” she asked him, concern in her voice. “No just a lot of sex.” He wiggled his eyebrows at her making her chuckle. “What? You lose calories but just having sex. I dare you to check you weight when you get home to see how much you lost from all the sex you been having.” That stopped in her tracks. “How would you know about all sex I am supposedly having?” she leaned against her desk looking at him. “Oh, please you think you and Jungkook could hide the fact that you both sneaking around. I know something was up that night he came back. The way he looked at you and you Ji Su trying to hide the fact you were looking at him too. And one morning I was making my way home when I caught Jungkook leaving your apartment. He was shirtless and you were wearing his shirt. So, I was not hard to guess.” Ji Su’s mouth gapped open and then closed. Taehyung gave her smug look like her won the trivia jackpot. Well, if we are being opened about our sex lives maybe I could ask him about what is wrong with him. “What about you? Who is this girl that has taken all your time?” that smug look dropped. “There is not much to take about it. She and I just have sex and that is it.” He looked away from her, but something was wrong. “Tae you can talk to me. If there is something that is bothering you, talking with someone can help with a solution.” That got him to step down from the fitting stage and sitting down with his forearms resting on his thighs, hands in his hair. “She wants to end it. End out non committed relationship. Apparently, I am not ready to settle down and making our relationship into something more.” Taehyung hung his head in defeat as he confessed to Ji Su. She moved over to him, squatting down while she listened. “I met her a year ago at a club and one thing led to another. From there we kept meeting up to have sex. It was wild and exciting. Last night though she told me it was the last time because she wants more, and I cannot give it to her.” Ji Su put a hand on his knee. “Have you expressed this to her?” He looked up at her, there were tears in his eyes. Seeing that broke her heart. He really was heartbroken about it. “Well, if you count the sex that was the only way I able to express it. I had no words to share with her. When she wants something, I drop everything to get what she wants. If this is what she wants, then I will give it to her. I just do not know why if hurts so much.” The tears started to flow, and he took a hand to pound at his chest. Ji Su reached up to hold his hand. “It hurts because you may love her. Being with her for a year can change those feelings that you denied yourself from feeling. Maybe go to her and ask her if she is willing to wait. If she asks for a timeline, then tell her one. Then use that timeline to really work on what she wants from you.” Taehyung wiped his tears and gipped Ji Su’s hand. “If that doesn’t work then what?” Ji Su got up to grab a Kleenex for him. He took and wiped his nose. “Well, we will get to that part when the times comes.” She gave him a reassuring smile that everything was going to work. She just prayed to whatever god that would listen those things would turn out. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Ji Su was sitting at her desk going over some emails when Jungkook walked in with food. The smell of what was in the bags made her stomach grumble. The sound made him laugh so hard he almost dropped the food. She cleared her desk as he composed himself, well tried to. He brought the food over and took out the contents of each bag. Burgers and fries with tea. They sat there and ate without talking. She was hungry out her mind to even think of words to say. Jungkook was busy messing with his phone to even eat. “New rule, when we eat phones are put aside.” She said taking one of his fries. He gapped at her and then took one of hers. “Fine we can make that a rule you fry thief.” He put his phone in his pocket and at his burger in four bites. “You pig.” She grumbled looking at hers seeing she was half way down with hers. “I am your pig who likes to eat, and I am not saying food.” She looked up and his eyes twinkled at the challenge. “You are one wicked man.” She took a bite of her burger, handing of the rest of it to him. She started to nibble on her fries. “So, found out that out little secret wasn’t really a secret.” Jungkook nearly choked and swallowed so he did not spit across her desk. “Who told you?” he reach out for his drink and took a long sip. She waited until there was nothing in his mouth before she shared her information. “Well, we know about Mi Sun when she walked in on us.” “That will never happen again by the way.” He pointed out. “Tae also knows.” Jungkook raised his eyebrows. “He was coming home one morning when he witnessed you running across the hall with no shirt to the apartment. He even saw me in that shirt that just happened to no be on you.” “Oh well, we do not have to keep it a secret any more. Speaking of which, do you want to tell them all together or go around individually telling them?” “I do not know. I would say all but with wedding coming up I do not what to take the spot light from them.” Ji Su took a sip of her tea. “Then we will wait until after Noona and Hyung’s wedding.” He took another fry of hers. She smack him. Making him choke on it. “Hey, I bought this lunch for you at least you could share.” Ji Su just shrugged as her answer to him. They finished eating and Jungkook stood up telling her he needed to head back. “What time will you be done today?” he asked her as she walked him to her door. “I have an appointment with a client, and I should be free after that. Why?” Ji Su leaned against her door frame. “I want to take you out tonight. Do not worry about your outfit what you have on will work.” She looked down seeing high waisted skinny jeans with premade holes in them and one of her t-shirt’s that was dyed a coral color. “Ok I will let you know when I am done.” She stood on her tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. Those he moved enough to have the kiss touch his lips. She smiled and started laughing. Someone cleared their throats the made the love birds break apart. Mi Sun stood there glaring at them. “Sorry to interrupt but you client is here.” “Noona do not glare at us. Maybe ask Hyung to spicy it up for you.” Jungkook teased Mi Sun. “I already do Jungkook.” Jin walked into the hall way making his way to Mi Sun’s office. “Thank you, Mi Sun, I will get her you go and have lunch.” Mi Sun handed Ji Su the file with all the paperwork and walked in to her office closing the door behind her. Ji Su kissed Jungkook once more. “I think you should go. Do not worry about Mi Sun. I will talk with her to see what is going on.” He kissed her and then walked out. Ji Su waited a few minutes before walking out to greet Dan Bi. She spotted her looking at a rack of clothes. Ji Su walked over to her thinking how she does not look like an idol or part of a kpop girl group. Dan Bi sensed she Ji Su was on the way because she stopped and bowed as her greeting. “No need to bow, we already know each other, and I see you as a friend.” Ji Su said to her giving her a hug. “I know but you are my unnie and I have to show my respect to you regardless.” She whispered. “Alright then but this is the last time. Any ways lets head back into my office.” Ji Su led Dan Bi to the back and entered her office. “Go ahead and have seat. How many more days until you new album is released?” Ji Su asked to make small talk. “We have until February for the release. So, now it is all about finishing touches without recordings, jacket cover shoots, and plans to promote the new album.” Dan Bi was looking down at her hands as she spoke. “Sounds lie you’ll be busy up till that day, but I am sure you will get busier once the album and MV is out.” Ji Su stated, grabbing the folder in front of her. “So, you would like to sponsor Paris Boutique?” “Yes, I was talking with Mr. Choi about finding another job to do while we work on the new album. He thought it was a clever idea and thought about getting a sponsorship. Something that I could advertise for, and they help when I need something for a gala or an award show. You know like the American award shows how some of those stars when dress for a sponsor.” Dan Bi shared with Ji Su using her hands as she spoke. “Why did you pick Paris Boutique?” “Because I have been busying clothes from her since I was seventeen and I love them. In fact, I am wearing a pair of jeans that you designed a few years back/ They are my go-to jeans for anything.” Dan Bi’s eyes seem to light up at the mention of the jeans. “Well, you do not have to worry I already agreed and so does Mi Sun, my partner. She has some paper work for you to go over and sign. I would do this with Mr. Choi and make sure everything that we wrote down works. If there is somethings that needs to be added or taking out, he can contact us through Mi Sun. Her email and extension for the phone are on this business card. My information is on the other card.” Ji Su handed her the folder and Dan Bi took it. “What wasn’t you partner in here with us?” Dan Bi asked. “Her wedding is coming up and so things are strenuous. She has a look on her mind, and she thought if would be best if I spoke with you.” Ji Su lied with a straight face. She honestly had no idea why Mi Sun was not in here with them. “I understand. My sister got married last year and when the wedding rapidly approaches things get hectic. I am surprised my mother did not kill my sister from all the changing up to the day before the wedding.” A small smile played on Dan Bi’s lips. “Hard to be away from family?” “It is but I am doing this for them anyway. I am also doing this for myself but mostly for them.” Dan Bi stood up and Ji Su followed suit. “I should be going now. It was nice seeing you again Unnie.” “It was nice talking with you Dan Bi. Do not be a stranger when you come back to shop.” Ji Su told her and walked Dan Bi out the door. Ji Su made her way back to her office but stopped and knocked on Mi Sun’s. Her door was opened. “You can come in.” Mi Sun said with the sounds of typing. “Just checking up on you seeing if everything is, ok?” Ji Su said taking a seat across Mi Sun. Mi Sun looked up at Ji Su. “Everything is ok just the wedding.” She sat back in her chair, taking her glasses off and running a hand through her hair. “My father told me that he will not be able to walk me down the aisle because he would not be able to make the ceremony. So, I spoke to Jin’s dad and see if he could. He said he would be delighted to walk me down.” A sigh escaped before she could continue. “My father found out and is upset about it. He suggested to push the wedding back two hours so that way he can make it on time. I can not push the damn ceremony back just because his dumbass is out of the country for work that week and returning the day of the wedding.” Ji Su sat there processing what was said before she spoke. “How I see it Mi Sun. our father in a sense, abandoned you when he left. He really has no right to walk you down. I would say your mother could, but I know how rocky that relationship is.” “Thank you, my dear best friend. Words that I can not express to my parents.” Mi Sun clapped and then stopped when and idea popped into her head. “I think I know who can walk me down. You Ji Su. You are more family than my blood. I know you are my maid of honor, but would you be the person by my side and walk me down to my future?” “What about Jin’s father?” “I can tell him changes of plans. Plus, he only told me he would if I did not find any one to fill in.” “Then Mi Sun, my sister, I will take that place and walk you down.” Mi Sun jumped up from her chair and ran around to embrace Ji Su. “I am glad you are happy. I do not know why I worried about you being mad at me.” “Oh no I am mad at you but that is for another time. I think you have a date to get to. I will schedule a meeting with you and set up guidelines for the future. I really do not want to walk in on you and Jungkook.” Mi Sun shivered in disgust. In between giggles, Ji Su told her she would look forward to it and walked out. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Jungkook waited for Ji Su by his car. He opened the door for her and then go into her side. He even helped her buckle up. She asked him where they were going, and he told her she would find out soon enough. The drive to where they were going was not long. They went to an art gallery. An artist was displaying his art work and Jungkook wanted to check it out. Ji Su found out that Jungkook wanted to come to the gallery because the artist was his favorite. They walked hand in hand as the walked around looking at all the art pieces on display. Ji Su had to admit the works were amazing. All the art pieces were in traditional Japanese art. However, everything painted was in Korean. Ji Su was mesmerized, and it was hard to peel her eyes away. When they were finished walking around Jungkook told her he was hungry and asked if she was. Her stomach grumbled her answer. He took her hand and led them to a food tent not far from the art gallery. They sat down and ordered. When the food came the two of them shared about the rest of their day. She even shared about Jimin being concerned for Tae and what was going on with Tae. Jungkook told her that things would work out eventually for Tae even if it takes time. The date was perfect when it ended with them heading home and parking. Instead of heading up to the apartment, they chose to walk in the path for a bit. “Mi Sun apparently wants to talk to me about some guidelines so what happened last time wont happened next time.” Ji Su shared with him. Jungkook huffed a laugh. “Now she should have knocked or called before walking in on us.” “To be far we were in a trans that her knocking or calling would be in the void. Though you are right though.” She buried her face in his sleeve mumbling. “I cannot believe she walked in when I came. So embarrassing.” “But yet so sexy.” He teased. They laughed none stopped when the started to head back. Jungkook was not going to make her walk any further. Not when she started to lean more into him. As they headed back into the apartment complex things could not be any more perfect. A little thought told Jungkook something was going to happen. He kept pushing it further back in his mind, trying to not ruin this happy bubble Ji Su and he were in. That happy bubble was popped when the were at her door. A teddy bear with missing eyes, dead roses, balloons that read ‘I miss you,’ and a note address to Ji Su. ~*~*~*~*~ Authors note: So, this chapter was simple. I gave you some easter eggs can you find them. If you do feel free to comment on which ones. This chapter was also long. I wanted to give you a simple day at the office and a date. I think this chapter flowed out well except for the creepy bear and flowers. I wonder what the note will say. I guess you’ll have to figure that out next time. Thank you again for all your support.
