“Oh, come on!  You’re taking the rest of the day off again?” Jimin asked, looking up from his computer.

“Of course.  Today is my and Nia’s anniversary.” Taehyung stacked up some papers on his desk.

“Oh, wow!  Congrats, man!  It’s been one hundred days already?”

“Yeah, I guess so,” Taehyung chuckled. “She doesn’t know I’m coming home early.  I wanted to surprise her.”

Jimin laughed. “You’re lucky to have someone.  I haven’t had a relationship last more than nine months.”

“Hey, don’t worry.  I’m sure you’ll find someone.  I never thought I’d be married this year.”

“Really?  You and Nia seem like you’ve been together forever!”

“We should’ve been.”

Jimin gave him a confused look.

Taehyung laughed. “That’s a story for another day.  I have to get going now.  I need to get home before Nia decides she’s going to bring me lunch.”

Nia heard the door open.  She paused her painting, gently setting her paintbrush down before tiptoeing out of the room to investigate.  She peeked her head out of the hallway just as Taehyung was pulling his shoes off.  He grinned up at her.

“Hi there.”

“You’re home!” Nia smiled.

“Yup.  Happy hundred-day anniversary!” he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close.  Then he kissed her gently. “I love you.”

Nia giggled. “I love you too.  Why are you home so early, though?”

“Well, you said I never take enough time off, and we’ll only have our one-hundred-day anniversary once, so I thought we could have one more day just for the two of us.”

“Oh, so I don’t get to see you for another full day until our wedding weekend, then?”

Taehyung pressed his lips together. “Maybe…”

Nia pinched his side. “You’re so mean to your wife!”

He swatted her hand off his hip. “Hey, I’ll have you know this is the most days off I’ve taken in all the time I’ve managed this company!”

“Yeah, you need to take more off.  You’re always so tired at night, anyways.  I don’t like seeing you so exhausted.”

“Ok, fine.  But taking time off isn’t that easy, you know?  I’m head over a whole company!”

“I know, I know.  But everyone should know that even the boss needs time off.”

“Ok, ok, let’s not talk about this right now.  Let’s have some fun this afternoon.”

Moon looked around the restaurant.  She really didn’t need any cameras following her today.  Her eyes found the table that Hobi was sitting at and he nodded at her.  She crossed the room and sat across from him.

“Why does coming to a fancy restaurant seem less safe than going to a café?”

“I have no idea.  Do you mean to hide from cameras?” he laughed. “Don’t worry.  I’ve never seen the paparazzi camping out in restaurants.”

Moon sighed. “Good.  I used to have to physically hide from cameras in Paris.”

Hobi shook his head. “I can’t believe people.”

“Um…so I have a question for you.”

“Shoot.”

“I was wondering if you’d like to be my plus-one at Tae and Nia’s wedding.”

Hobi opened his mouth to reply, but Moon cut him off.

“You can decline.  I just…wanted to ask.”

Hobi laughed. “I’ll come.  Yoongi’s been whining that I don’t get enough socialization.”

“Really?  You’ll come?”

Hobi nodded. “Why not?  I’ve been getting over her anyways, so there’s no hard feelings.”

Moon grinned. “Great!”
