BROTHER IN LAW • TAEHYUNG FF (Complete)

8- Hidden signs

The evening of the Mehndi ceremony was finally here.

"Jungkook, Jimin," called Mrs. Kim, her voice filled with excitement.

They promptly responded, "Ji aunty?"

"Beta, jao Taehyung ko le aao rasam ke liye," she instructed.

Beta, go get Taehyung for the ceremony.

"Okay aunty," said Jungkook, as he and Jimin headed to Taehyung's room.

"Chal bhai, kaha khoya hua hai? Aunty bula rahi hai," they said, nudging him out of his thoughts.

Come on brother, where are you lost? Aunty is calling you.

"Mujhe?" Taehyung asked, surprised.

Me?

"Haan bhai, aur kisko? Chalo," said Jungkook, pulling him up.

Yes brother, who else? Let's go,

"Okay," he agreed, albeit reluctantly.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Mehra was bringing Mina to her designated spot. She sat gracefully, ready for the ceremony.

Taehyung approached Mrs. Kim. "Mom, aapne mujhe bulaya?"

Mom, did you call me?

"Haan beta, jao Mina ke paas baitho," Mrs. Mehra directed him.

Yes son, go and sit next to Meena.

Annoyed, Taehyung asked, "Par kyun mom?"

But why mom?

Mrs. Kim sighed, "Tumhe bhi mehndi lagwani hai uske naam ki."

You too should get a mehndi with her name on it.

"Main aur mehndi? Kyun bhai? Main ladka hoon," Taehyung protested.

Me and Mehndi? Why? I am a boy,

Mrs. Kim, with a stern look, replied, "Haan, aur main tujhse haath bharke mehndi lagwane ke liye keh rahi hoon? Chal, chupchap Mina ke paas jaake baith."

Yes, and I am not asking you to apply a lot of mehendi on your hands. Come, go and sit quietly next to Meena.

Reluctantly, Taehyung whined, "Mom..."

Mrs. Kim's expression hardened. "Jao aur jaake baitho."

Go and sit down.

"Okay," Taehyung muttered, moving towards Mina.

"Hii," Mina greeted him with a smile.

"Hello," Taehyung replied, looking away.

Mina's smile faltered. "Tum itne formal kyun ho rahe ho? Humaari shaadi hone wali hai."
