6: Helper
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
As it was planned, Taehyung met her at lunchtime and they talked about the past two days. Taehyung definitely skipped many parts and just briefed her about the work, nothing much. The same goes for her, she didn't give any details about her important work.
Taehyung excused himself when Seoyun was about to order lunch. He walked back to the cabin and decided to take a bit of rest till the remaining workers joined the work.
He simply laid his head on the table and started humming his favorite song. Closing his eyes, he recalled the beautiful giggles of the young woman only to feel his heartbeat quicken as her face popped up in his closed eyes. Jolting up in surprise, he slapped his own forehead lightly, smiling lightly at his increasing craziness.
"Aish Taehyung, get a hold." He scolded himself, but deep down he was sure that, he lost his heart to the beautiful girl.
The break time was soon over and Seoyun came to him pouting. "You traitor, why did you leave me?" She screeched with an angry pout and the poor boy gulped.
"Um- actually, I- I wasn't hungry." He tried... keyword tried.
"This boy Is lying!" Here comes another voice. Taehyung turned back to see Semie standing there with her arms folded.
"Ah, noona. I wasn't hungry, really." He defended, and Semie felt like there was a competition of pouting.
"First of all, stop pouting!" She said with narrowed eyes and Taehyung's pout became more intense.
"This kid, I said stop pouting, both of you... ahh, my poor heart." Semie fake cried causing Taehyung to huff cutely while Seoyun rolled her eyes.
"Fine fine.. so what you were saying before?" Seoyun asked as she also glanced back to see other workers coming back to their cabins.
"He collapsed yesterday, can you believe that?" Semie started and Seoyun gasped in surprise, quickly turning to face the now embarrassed boy.
"Noona, it wasn't like that. I was just tired." Taehyung mumbled but Semie lightly slapped his shoulder with a frown.
"Don't you dare to lie again!" Then she turned to Seoyun, who had her eyes fixed on Taehyung's fidgeting fingers.
"Honestly, I never saw him in the cafe and I'm so damn sure that he is malnutrition." She added with a sigh.
She was truly concerned about the newbie and Taehyung was well aware of that, but he couldn't just tell them the reason. After all, he had a reputation to take care of, especially in front of his crush.
"Why? Wait! Did you skip lunch again?" Seoyun gaped in disbelief.
"No, it's just... I'm really not hungry. I had my breakfast." Taehyung defended himself again and before any of the two ladies could argue back, they all were asked to join an emergency meeting within 5 minutes.
Taehyung let out a sigh of relief at that and silently followed Minho as both girls were already gone. The large meeting room got filled with the workers quickly and Mr. Park entered the room.
Taehyung was a bit excited as it was his first meeting, also he really wanted to learn more about office work. People were gossiping lightly when Mr. Park settled himself on a chair. He was definitely waiting for someone while Taehyung's attention was more on the girl sitting a few chairs ahead of him. Semie was the one to notice his heart eyes fixed on the girl but she kept silent.
Soon, Taehyung felt all the gossip shut down quickly and this was followed by the click sound. When he averted his gaze from the girl, he regretted it quickly because right in front of his eyes was the person he despised the most.
"So, the whole department is here?" His cold voice boomed in the room and Mr. Park nodded his head.
Taehyung saw him walking to the front. It wasn't like his anger was gone, but he admitted that the CFO was looking so elegant in his attire. The way he walked, was truly decent and his aura looked so impressive.
Jeon Jungkook was the one to talk about the major issues related to the company's performance and financial services as well.
Taehyung added another point to the list of the CFO's good things (related to his job not about his looks) and that was his perfect speaking skills. The way he answered the questions and posed some questions in turn was another level of perfection in his field.
The enthusiastic boy did notice the points of the meeting in his small notebook. Once the CFO took a seat on the chair, Mr. Park was the one to announce some good things about his department and Taehyung found himself again staring at the girl, oblivious to the killing stare at himself.
..................
"I had no idea that our department is the leading one in the company." Semie squealed once they were near their cabins. Taehyung chuckled lightly before taking the seat as Seoyun also giggled.
"Perks of being hardworking~" She sang and the three laughed together while packing up.
"Ok, see you tomorrow." Both girls waved their hands and Taehyung did the same. They all parted ways and Taehyung walked out of the building to face the same person again.
Jungkook was opening the car door when his gaze fell on the coming brunet. The death glare caused a shiver in Taehyung's spine but he glared back a bit and left after jerking his head a bit.
Taehyung decided to avoid the CFO again as they rarely crossed their ways. Days passed quickly and he was happy as Seoyun was getting more open to him. They usually have a great time at the company's cafe and Taehyung always used some reasons to ditch the lunch every time until Semie pointed it out again and Seoyun started treating him to the lunch, forcefully. He accepted the offer two or three times but barely ate anything. His self-respect was always there.
During that, he often tried to talk with Minho in a more friendly way, but the older one always had that cold face that somehow stopped him from crossing his limits, that's what he thought.
This wasn't bad at all, till the day after almost 2 weeks.
Taehyung was totally out of groceries and even money. He was really tensed about that but a little satisfaction was there too as he wasn't burdened with any kind of debt.
When he reached his house last night, he was met with empty cabinets and no food, leaving no choice so he slept with an empty stomach once again and the next morning, there was again nothing in to fill it except water.
Deep down he had the wrong feeling in his heart when he found everyone very busy. The whole day was so busy for him as well, but more tiring. Being the level 1 employee and the most junior one in the department, he was awarded the most tiring task like delivering things to the other departments in the big building, making him annoyed with the job at the moment but had no choice, of course.
"Here is the new design file." He handed the file to the person who coldly glanced over him and snatched the file. Taehyung scowled at the rude action but gave the person a small smile before leaving the department with heavy steps.
"My legs hurt." He cried out lowly when he was about to enter the elevator but his phone rang again.
"Taehyung, take the file from Mr. Song, it was wrong. Go and quickly hand it to the CFO assistant."
"Bu-!" He couldn't even complete his word when the line went down in an instant.
"Don't tell me- i- I just get that from here. Are they kidding me!!!" He blurted out and groaned loudly, receiving weird glances from the others.
Taking a small moment to overcome, he stomped and walked back to the office. To his surprise, the file was shoved back into his hands by the rude Mr. Song. He clenched his jaw but took some deep breaths and left the department to walk to the area of the demon... I mean Jungkook.
"He just said assistant, ah.. such a relief." Recalling that, he sighed and quickly asked the person and found a rather polite man who greeted him kindly.
"Oh, from the designing department?"
"Yes," Taehyung replied with a small smile. The person returned that quickly and grabbed the file.
"Thank you, Mr."
Taehyung got the question and smiled widely. "Taehyung, Kim Taehyung." He quickly introduced himself and the person stretched his hand to shake.
"Jimin. Park Jimin." Taehyung nodded his head. After some hyper ladies, he finally met a kind man in the building.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Park."
"Oh come on, Jimin is fine." Jimin waved his hand playfully and Taehyung let out a giggle at the gesture.
"Ok, Jimin, that's it." He repeated to have a nod from the blond male.
"By the way, um- nice hair color. It suits you." Taehyung complimented shyly to which the other let out loud laughter, slapping his hand over his thigh.
"Thanks, cutie... by the way, it's natural." Taehyung suddenly felt embarrassed and his cheeks heated up quickly, causing the blond to coo at him.
The little moment had to break when the phone vibrated and Jimin received the call.
"I've to go but will see you again. Nice meeting you." Jimin whispered with his blinding smile, taking the phone to his ear.
Taehyung waved his hand at him and happily started going to his department. The rest of the day was still busy for him and the poor boy felt himself shaking while running here and there in the building.
It was almost off time when he started feeling queasy and lightheaded. He packed up the things and waited for Seoyun but both girls were already gone again. So, he decided to leave too, and walked out of the building but his body betrayed him and he swayed to the side.
"Ah, not again." He mumbled, blinking his eyes rapidly to clear the vision but it wasn't of use as his stomach churned again badly making him cover his mouth with the feeling but nothing came out. He was breathing heavily and sweating on the lack of energy. Just when the feeling reduced a bit, he tried to walk in a hurry which resulted in bumping into someone.
The person groaned but when he saw the brunet apologizing lightly with his shaky voice and wobbling to the other side, he called him.
"Wait. Are you ok?" Taehyung tried to see the face of the person but the voice was kinda familiar.
"Y- ye-" His word stuck in his throat as his body slumped down and hit the floor.
"KIM!!"
Taehyung felt strong arms wrapped around his body and picked him up from the floor.
The brunet again tried to see the face of his helper but only the blurred image came into view, but his mind concluded a single name before going completely limp in the arms, the person who actually helped him before too... the person none other than
Minho...
