13: A try
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
Tying up his tie that was part of the suit, Taehyung hummed a sweet melody, a smile on his pink lips that were looking so kissable because of the added shine of lip balm.
"Done!" He chirped to himself and patted his own shoulder in agreement. Taking hold of his phone and wallet, he happily moved out of the room and locked it, still humming while descending the stairs.
"Someone is happy tod- wow!." Chayun gasped from behind when Taehyung was about to open the door. The last word came out very surprised.
Taehyung smiled lightly and nodded his head in approval, well... he was happy, happy because he finally decided to confess to Seoyun in a good way. He even bought a gift for her that was a gold bracelet... quite expensive for his already disturbed accounts, but did he care? Of course not, because he was eager to have her love for himself.
"It's a party tonight, a celebration party to be exact," Taehyung said but his smile dropped slightly because Chayun was looking- no actually staring at him very weirdly.
"You're looking so handsome Taehyung." Chayun kind of mumbled but the other did hear that clearly. Finding the situation very awkward, he decided to leave as quickly as possible, and to his luck, his phone buzzed.
"Oh! I've to go now. My colleague is waiting for me." Semie was the one to message him and he was grateful for that.
Taehyung's aunt also came out of the room and frowned when she saw both males. She practically pulled his husband back when Taehyung was reading the message.
"See you later. Good bye auntie." Taehyung said in a hurry and quickly went out of the house, leaving the two persons behind.. with two different expressions.
................
"Ah!.. finally," Taehyung muttered, huffing lightly as he was walking for past half an hour to reach there. Well, he really wanted to take a cab but it was costly, so he walked there.
His hand went inside his pants pocket to check the velvet box of the bracelet and he sighed in relief and happiness when the softness of the fabric reached his fingertips.
The gleaming boy walked to the main door with confidence but slowly... very slowly, he felt his confidence dying down as he saw his colleagues dressed up so well and looking so fashionable. A sense of insecurity and self-consciousness hit him and he out of the blue, started feeling nervous.
He wasted about 10 minutes at the door, looking at the people coming with all of their glory, happy smiles on their faces, while he just kept fidgeting with his fingers.
"Hey! What are you doing here?! Go inside, you thick skull." A light smack on his arm and the squeaky voice of the Semie made him flinch.
"What! Let's go~" She dragged him with her inside the restaurant. Taehyung gulped at the sight, he was sure that the restaurant was good in the morning but now? The vibe was very different.
"This way." Semie again dragged him happily to the table where Minho and one of his other colleagues were sitting.
"Good evening everyone." Semie chirped to which the other boy greeted back warmly while Minho kept his head busy on his phone.
Taehyung also greeted both but his eyes started roaming around the big hall to locate a specific girl. Disappointed eyes came back to the table when he found nothing related to Seoyun. Semie was busy with her other friend while now Taehyung was sitting with Minho.
"Looking nice," Minho started in a monotone but still, the words made Taehyung blush a bit.
"Thanks." He softly replied, again feeling awkward in the situation. Both of them were busy with their own things and there was silence. Taehyung felt like cursing as Semie was now standing at a distance, with a glass of champagne and a big smile, busy with someone else now.
"That girl." Rolling his eyes, he smiled a bit but as the awkwardness increased more, he decided to take a walk and get a drink for himself.
When he stood up, Minho gave him a questioning look that he definitely ignored and walked up to the table where food and drinks were placed. He straightened his suit carefully and slightly pulled up his sleeve before taking out a little amount of an appetizer on a plate.
"Already hungry?" A mocking voice caught his attention and he again rolled his eyes, this time for really being annoyed by the presence.
With a promise to keep calm, he took a deep breath and decided to leave silently but halted when an arm moved forward from his back, reaching the table and the glass of red wine. The closeness was this much that Taehyung felt a puff of warm breath over his neck but it disappeared within seconds.
"What the h-"
"No cursing Kim," CFO smirked, leaning on the table from his back, bringing the glass to his lips.
Taehyung gritted his teeth and wanted to spit some words but stopped when he noticed that the other was looking really... I mean really very handsome.
Taking another deep breath and biting his lower lip, he grabbed the plate tightly and turned back.
"Oh! You put this much effort into impressing her?" Jungkook muttered again, causing the brunet to turn back with a frown.
"None of your business Sir!" With that, he also gave a smirk. "Are you feeling challenged?" Jungkook's lips twitched at the words. He moved his body forward and was now standing properly, dark eyes glaring at the brunet.
"You will see that Kim." That was a short reply.. and kind of not a mockery. Taehyung definitely didn't expect that but still, he felt happy that for once, he did make the annoying CFO shut up.
A proud smile formed on his lips when Jungkook walked passed him but before he could walk away as well, a sudden light push made him stumble forward and a body collided with his side.
"Ops, sorry," Jungkook muttered and put the glass back on the table in an instant before walking away, not before giving a smirk to the shocked Taehyung.
Wetness and coldness were what he felt over his stomach, and when he looked down, a loud gasp left his lips.
"Oh No!!!" His eyes widened in horror when he saw a big red wet spot over his white shirt and cream-colored coat. Putting his plate back on the table, he quickly rushed to the restroom.
"Please.. please go away." He was continuously ranting while softly rubbing the fabric with the hope of removing the stain but when even after rubbing for minutes the stain didn't go, he started feeling nervous.
"This isn't good.. what would I do now?!"
"Hey! You ok?" A very familiar voice made him look up in the mirror and he found the kind boy's reflection there.
"Y-- yeah." He stuttered out, feeling embarrassed about the situation.
"You're the boy from the design department right?" Taehyung nodded his head lightly, eyes still looking at the now faded red stain over his suit.
"It's me Jimin, Park Jimin. We met in the financial department."
Taehyung's eyes lit up with joy as he recalled and quickly stuck out his hand to shake that the other boy took with a chuckle but when his eyes followed the doe eyes of the other, he quickly pulled away his hand from the soft yet firm grip and sheepishly smiled.
"I- um... I bumped into something." Jimin again cackled on that and shook his head.
"Don't worry, it's fine." Saying that he turned to the sink to wash his hands while Taehyung took this chance to disappear from the place.
Walking through the corridors of the restaurant, he mentally slapped himself for ruining his suit so early while he still had to meet Seoyun. He also let out some profanities to the bratty CFO for this childish act.
"What she'll think of me? Argh!" He groaned a bit lightly, pouting unconsciously as he made his way to the main hall, one hand trying hard to cover up the now wet but still faded red stain.
"Are you that clumsy?" The voice made him flinch and when he turned back he was met with a very calm and cold-faced Minho.
"What?! No way. I'm not!" Taehyung quickly tried to defend himself but his cheeks burned in embarrassment when Minho pointed his finger at the stain.
"I didn't spill that, it was an-"
"Accident, I know." Minho cut him short and how much the brunet wanted to disappear from there too.
Taehyung pressed his lips in a thin line but again decided to fill up his empty stomach. Luckily, no one was there this time so he finally put some yummy food in his cute-looking tummy.
Mr. Park congratulated all the employees and sulking Taehyung again had to look at the person who was standing right beside Mr. Park. They also announced the presence of the CEO and Taehyung swore that the company was the house of scary-looking people.
He was still waiting for the specific girl and felt his heart thump loudly when he finally saw her. His eyes were sort of glued to her.
She was wearing a very decent yet pretty dress, a soft pastel color, and beautiful hair, everything was perfect in Taehyung's eyes. She smiled and waved at Semie who hugged her and said something to which both giggled and Taehyung felt his own lips curving upside at that.
So whipped...
He patiently waited till she was finally alone after meeting many of her colleagues unlike himself. Taking the opportunity, he walked to her, palms sweating in nervousness as the distance decreased between them. His heart might've skipped a beat when she looked up at him and smiled.
I can do it, do it Taehyung!
Gulping down his nervousness, he took a deep breath and now was standing in front of her.
"H- Hi." He stuttered out, voice so soft yet full of affection.
Seoyun smiled more and greeted back. "Hi Tae, how have you been?" She beamed, eyes roaming over Taehyung's body and suddenly his confidence shattered a bit.
"Wow! You look so- handsome." Her voice came out like a shock to herself but she quickly overcame that and smiled again.
Taehyung blinked and licked his lips by darting out his pink tongue, completely oblivious to the two different stares.
"You're also looking so... so pretty Seoyun shi." She stepped forward and Taehyung felt a sudden rush of confidence and did something unexpected for himself.
He took hold of her hand and dragged her out of the rushy place to the back side of the restaurant but before she could ask, he stood in front of her, taking out that velvet box in his hand.
"Tae-"
"That night, when I said that I like you... I was being very sincere Seoyun shi." He started, eyes looking at the ground, one hand still holding her hand.
She was confused but shut her mouth.
"I- I really like you Seoyun shi, more than a friend. Can you.. can you give me a chance to prove you that?" He compiled and looked up uncertainly. His hopes died when she gave no response. Feeling his heartbreaking down, he sadly smiled, fingers running over the soft velvet.
"I'm sorry.. it must be very awkward." He mumbled and turned to leave but was stopped by the small voice.
"Where are you going?"
