CHAPTER FIVE:

“For you”

___________________________

“Sorry for the disturbance but could please give this to Mr.Kim and tell him I said thank you.”

I said to the middle-aged blonde haired security guard of Kim Taehyung's office.

“I can inform boss if you want.”

The guard objected ,narrowing his eyes fiercely at the package in my hand,I exhaled slowly putting on a little fake smile I mumbled.

“Well I have an important meeting to attend so if you could just please give this to him.”

He thinks for a minute before taking the package from my hand , a gracious smile appear on my lips before I quickly turn to leave where my car was parked.

The thin line of adrenaline traced through my skin like silver snake,as bulked on my seat belt .

It was only luck that I managed to find his office that he runs at during daytime not wasting a chance I was quick to return back the phone to him.

I don't know what he does to me but what ever it is. I know ,I liked it

I halted the car in front of the small not so popular restaurant, digging the keys in the back of my jeans I slowly walked towards the pavement .

A smile appeared on my lips as my eyes landed on the familiar figure sitting by right at the last table .

“Paris.”

The young man engulfed me into his embrace ,his sweet gay voice brought joy to my heart as I hugged him back.

“How are you doing ?”

I asked him taking a seat across him,he looked at me thoughtfully as though he was studying me.

“I am doing fine,Paris just a little tied up with work these days and Harper got her own issues. ”

“It's fine, Jace you know it's always like this at the end of each month for you.”

He looks at me ,agreeing to my words I noticed him trying to quirk up a smile.

Jace is my elder brother,with four years difference he looks more like my father when I look like mother. We have no one but each other and even though he lives in another city he still comes to meet me after about a month or two.

“I have already ordered food for both of us and it's your usual.”

He informed just when I was about to call for a waitress. I gazed at him as he sips his milkshake .

Something felt off to me ,he was never this quiet and they way he keeps moving his hands and sighing only when something bothers him .

“How was the exhibition yesterday?”

He asked reluctantly resting his elbows against the table .

“Not a success again,I feel like my collection is too weak my ideas and the pictures aren't that great.”

He looked stresses for few minutes  and I see him parting his lips to say something but don't as soon the waitress comes and serve our food.

My stomach melted at the sight of the ravishing food,I was eager to finish the whole thing quick while he ate his food in silence ,he was lost in his thoughts so I let him but deep inside I was worried about my brother.

Bringing the napkin to the ends of my mouth I wiped any traces of the food that I ate.

Sipping on to the red wine I was yet to speak before he finally looks up from his food and mumbles,“I cannot do this anymore, Paris.”

I frowned at his words not understanding the meaning behind then the glass in my hand was now placed back on the table.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean I… I can't support you anymore financially it's been long and you're 19 now.”

He says abruptly,holding me by sudden bewilderment. I could already feel the tears daring to stinging my eyes.

“I don't have a proper job,Jace and I am still studying photography,I can't afford my apartment's rent. ”

My voice almost high,I was too troubled to even care if others were watching us.

“Then find yourself a proper job.”

He whispered bitterly.

“Jace I'm your only sister,you can not turn you back at me.”

I breathed,my heart was bearing an unknown beat of betrayal I felt broken.

“Listen,Harper is pregnant with twins and I need to be well enough and you know about my job I hardly get enough pay to run my own house how would I take care of yours.”

He said ,his hands moving on to the surface of the table as to explain what he meant truthfully.

I clear my throat and raise my eyes to the ceiling,forcing a short,painful laugh. I run my sleeves rapidly across my eyes as to my horror a tear runs down my eye.

“Thank you,Jace for being such a great brother to me.”

I whispered ,my voice coming out a harsher than I intended.

I furiously placed the money of the food that I ate on the table and then raising to my feet I exited the restaurant leaving the only blood relation I ever had their.

I hate you so much Jace,that I still love you as my brother a lot .

I drove myself to home ,I kept on crying while my hand held tight on the steering wheel,I could not ever describe what I felt at that time.

My hands holding the bundle of keys ,as I look through it to find the keys to my apartment but stopped right there when I saw who was standing there waiting for me.

God ,I almost made myself believe that I would never see him again.

“Paris.”

My name sound like a musical melody when he says it,

“Taehyung.”

He looks up studying my attire with cool within his eyes.

I stagger back and I definitely gasped, his piercing eyes burning into mine.

My gaze drifts and takes in his open suit jacket,a waist coat and a white shirt with a red tie,his dark stubbled jaw and the his lips were parted just so.

Never mind ,I'll leave the rest for you to imagine.

“You rejected my present. ”

He says,his voice sharp his brow arched.

“I couldn't take that it was too expensive. ”

“You would prefer walking around the city alone without a phone and get yourself in danger than be safe and have a phone?”

God,he plays so well with words I can never win against him.
