8: Mr. Jeon
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
"No~ I don't wanna!" Semie cried out while faking the tears and Taehyung chuckled at her acting.
"Come on, all you need is to go and order a hot chocolate for me. I promise I've something for you." Taehyung said wiggling his brows and her face lit up in excitement at the mention of a surprise.
"Fine, you eat and I'll bring that quickly." She quickly dashed out to bring the order for both.
It's been 15 minutes since they were trying to decide who would bring the hot chocolate. Taehyung was feeling lazy and also he wanted to bring the gift to the cafe once she was out of view, he quickly went back to the cabin to grab the gift from his bag.
Seoyun was busy on a call since they arrived at the cafe and Taehyung didn't mind that at all, but he did feel a bit ignored by her.
"Here we go." Semie placed the cups on the table and gave him a wide smile.
"Don't give me that look, noona." Taehyung squinted his eyes while stuffing his mouth with rice and popping a piece of meat in his mouth. Lucky day, lunch boxes had meat today and Taehyung felt on cloud nine.
Semie scoffed before grabbing one of the cups and sipping from it, eyes not leaving the hands of Taehyung. When Taehyung noticed that, he cocked his brow.
"Where is that 'something'?" She asked and Taehyung sighed before chuckling a bit.
He placed his chopsticks back on the box and grabbed the small bag from the floor near his chair. Shyly, he placed the box in front of her and hung his head low. The insecurity of being judged by his new friend was again clouding his mind.
Semie grabbed the box and opened it quickly, only to squeal in happiness.
"Oml, it's so beautiful~" Once she said these words, Taehyung let out a sigh of relief, and a small smile spread on his lips.
He brought a bracelet for her. It was also very fragile and beautiful just like the pendant he gave to the Seoyun but had the insecurity he faced with the later, good thing, the expectations reversed this time.
He jolted back a bit when a figure pushed him back by force.
"Thank you soooo much Taehyung." Semie squealed again and kissed his hair crown before pulling back with a wide smile. She sat back in her chair when people started giving them a weird look that made her smile sheepishly and apologize lightly.
Taehyung chuckled at her behavior and started eating the food again.
"It's really beautiful and I'm so happy that you remember me." She sounded genuinely happy, still smiling and looking at the piece of jewelry in the box.
"It's such a relief that you like it, you know. I was so tense that whether you like it or not." Semie chuckled at that and ruffled his hair a bit to which he scowled.
"Not hairs, noona." Taehyung threatened with angry glare that Semie found so cute.
"Aww, the little tiger is angry~" Taehyung whined on that and closed the box after eating it completely and thanking God.
"By the way, what's the event?" Semie asked, sipping on the hot choco again and Taehyung also started sipping from the other cup.
"I got my first pay days ago, so... I decided to give my new friends some gifts." He replied with a smile and Semie followed him.
"So nice of you. It means a lot." Her voice held so much affection.
Once they were done with the lunch, Semie asked Taehyung to make her wear the bracelet to which the boy turned red and Semie just enjoyed teasing him.
Workload decreased once the project was done by his department. He was bounding well with Semie and Seoyun as well. But for Minho, Taehyung always felt awkward as he could feel the older stealing glances over him from his cabin but whenever he tried to initiate the conversation, he always replied shortly and coldly. So, he delayed the gift for him.
"I don't know, why he is like that," Taehyung mumbled while pouting and glancing at Minho, who was looking at his phone near the exit.
"Who?" Taehyung flinched so badly at the voice and placed his hand over his heart.
"Ops. Sorry." Seoyun giggled when she noticed Taehyung's startled face.
"Ah.. n- no need. I was just- Well, are you free now?" He asked, trying to overcome the embarrassment.
Seoyun nodded her head and looked up at the exit.
"Let's go." She said and Taehyung happily followed her.
"I'm craving some iced coffee." Seoyun breathed out as they started walking on the sidelines.
Taehyung quickly checked his bank balance and let out a little laughter of happiness. "Then let's go, my treat." He beamed with excitement when Seoyun quickly nodded her head and they both ended up in the nearest cafe.
Taehyung was again feeling all giddy when they sat in front of each other in the cafe. Seoyun was wearing a pale-colored coat, looking beautiful on her pale complexion.
"You're beautiful." Taehyung blurted out but slapped his mouth with wide eyes when she frowned.
Oh please, can't you keep it shut Taehyung?
He was internally cursing on his poor tongue but turned red when Seoyun started laughing wholeheartedly. Taehyung felt like fainting when she placed her hand over his, squeezing it a bit while trying to control her laughter. Her soft hand was kind of warm on the cold back of his palm and he liked it a lot.
"Oh God, Taehyung you are so cute." She finally let out a few words, only to attack his poor heart more. He could feel his heart jumping from joy inside his body while his brain switched off.
Am I cute?
"Yes, you are.." She chuckled again when his face turned beautiful shades of pink.
Did I say it loud?
"Oh yes!" Another loud laughter and Taehyung blinked his eyes and bit his lips. His ears were red too and his lips were more than just red due to the continuous biting.
"I- 'm sorry." He said once she retreated her hand to clutch over her stomach. Feeling utterly embarrassed, he started fidgeting with his fingers, head hanging low.
"Why are you? You're so cute Tae, so so cute and innocent." Seoyun stated with a smile, the nickname sounded like a sweet melody to his ears.
"I- I like you." Another way to embarrass himself... when he suddenly blurted out his feelings for the girl.
He was expecting some kind of surprise expression or at least a frown, but her expression didn't falter for a second as she replied with the same smile.
"I like you too Taehyung."
"R-really?" His ears couldn't believe what he actually heard. His eyes widened at the instant reply, butterflies going wild in his stomach when she nodded her head.
"Of course, who won't like you? You are such a sweetheart and-"
"Mind if I join?" A sudden voice interrupted her and both turned to see the person. Taehyung felt like shooting the one right at the moment for 2 reasons.
1. He interrupted the praise he was getting from his crush
2. The person's presence is annoying itself.
"Oh, Mr. Jeon. Please sit, how can we mind." Seoyun said excitedly and pointed at the chair near herself.
The CFO smirked at Taehyung and took a seat. Taehyung glared at him while he was just staring at him in turn. Brunet felt annoyed by his face... oh dear God, give him some strength.
Jungkook was also in his office attire and Taehyung could say that he was alone that's why he decided to ruin their sweet moment.
"Why are you here Mr. Jeon?" That's the first time that Taehyung called him like that. He was trying his best to smile a bit but his lips just twitched in annoyance he was feeling.
Jungkook raised his brow and leaned over the table, as he was sitting opposite Taehyung.
"I'm here for shopping?" Seoyun giggled at the joke that the other let out with a very serious face but Taehyung felt like splashing water on his face.
"Oh, then where are your clothes? Or you're trying to buy this whole cafe?" Taehyung decided to play along and Seoyun watched him with amusement.
"I can do that too."
"Then do it, rather than ruining someone's sweet time," Taehyung said with a sweet smile and he felt so satisfied when Jungkook rolled his tongue inside his cheek, looking so angry at the words.
"Oh, but Seoyun said it's fine. I think you don't like it." Jungkook deadpaned after a second.
"Ah, it's totally fine Mr. Jeon. Taehyung is just being a bit funny.. right Tae?" Here goes his anger in the gutter on hearing the nickname once again.
All his expressions morphed into a genuine smile as he glanced over at the girl and nodded his head.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Jungkook narrowed his eyes at the change, the way brunet was looking at the girl beside him, he didn't like that a bit.
"You should be. We used to hang out a few times before you came here, Mr. Kim." The new information made the brunet feel his anger coming back. He glanced over at the girl again for confirmation and found her blushing a bit while tucking her hair behind her ear.
"We even studied at the same university." Another little bomb on his poor heart. He clutched the edge of the table, gulping hard.
"I- I see," Taehyung mumbled and grabbed the glass of water to feel a bit better but when his eyes fell on the raven-haired in front of him, he found him smirking again.
"Also, she doesn't like clumsy people like you." Taehyung felt like crying, not because of his words but because Seoyun was silent... not saying a single word.
"Here is your order sir." The thick tension was reduced by the waiter who placed the coffee on the table.
"Please bring one espresso for me, without sugar." Taehyung heard the CFO ordering for himself and he scoffed.
That's why you're so bitter.
Seoyun was busy enjoying the drink while Taehyung was busy sending daggers to the CFO, who in turn was busy on his phone.
Soon, Jungkook's order was there and they all finished their drinks. Taehyung just scrunched his nose even in just imagination of the bitter taste.
"Let's go Seoyun," Taehyung said, avoiding the other.
She was about to get up when Jungkook grabbed her wrist. "You can't leave me like that." He raised his brow.
"Why so? She came here with me Mr. Jeon and we are now leaving. Now if you please-"
"I'm not talking with you Kim! You can leave if you want, but not her." Jungkook simply said and Taehyung clenched his fist.
"She is coming with me. Let's go Seoyun." Taehyung said and was about to grab her other wrist but his heart dropped at her words.
"I'm staying here Taehyung, you should leave."
