THIRTEEN

We were currently at work and I was busy planning how to style his outfit. The outfit he chose was really good and I was sure he would pull it off really well.

I peeked through the gap in the blinds and found him concentrating deep into his laptop screen. I smiled to myself thinking how cute he looked while staring at the laptop screen with a cute little pout on his face. His lips look really soft. As if he felt someone staring at him, he automatically looked towards me and our eyes met. I thought of what happened the other day when he caught me staring at him. I quickly divert my eyes towards my computer screen. After few seconds I look back towards his direction and find him staring at me with a cute smile on his face. I couldn't understand why, but my heart fluttered at the view of him. I smiled back and we both diverted our eyes and mind, both back to work.

It's weird how you feel comfortable being with or around someone, just in five days.

It was our lunch time and we get a forty-five minutes break for it. I was headed towards the canteen when suddenly a large hand, out of nowhere, grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards a small store room. I was a bit surprised at the sudden contact and all my muscles were stiffened. I looked at the person holding me, and realised it was Taehyung. He really is a moron. Who scares like that?

"God Taehyung! You scared me!", I said as my muscles slowly relaxed.

"Haha, so you are a scaredy cat.", he said in a teasing tone.

"No I'm not. But it was so sudden!", I exclaimed.

"Ok, sorry for that. By the way, I wanted to ask you if you wanna join me for lunch!", he said while scratching the nape of his neck as if he was shy.

I thought for a moment before replying.

"Yeah. That'd be great.", I said as anyway I always eat alone and a little company would not be bad.

"Fine then, let's go.", he said while showing off his cute boxy smile.

We went to the ground floor where the canteen was located and I was about to take a turn towards the canteen when he stopped me.

"What are you doing?", he asked.

"We were having lunch together right?!", I questioned.

"Yes, but not here. I'm taking you to a restaurant. Umm, a small lunch date, you know.", he said and I widened my eyes. This guy here first insisted on dropping me home, then took the initiative of doing that daily and now he is taking me on a fucking lunch date to some restaurant.

"But we could ju-", I was cut off again. I really don't understand when will he leave this habit.

"You talk too much and ask too many questions. Now seal your lips and follow me.", he said and so I did. We sat in his car and drove off to a fucking five-star restaurant. As soon as we got out of the car, my eyes just couldn't stop admiring the place. The only thought in my mind at that moment was how much would the food cost. I would literally be left bankrupted if I eat here twice.

"Doesn't this place look too expensive?", I asked, my eyes still fixed on the exterior of the building.

"It is sweetheart. It is expensive. I never go to cheap places. I have a reputation to maintain honey.", he said with pure sass. If I really be with him, go on such small dates, and he is busy maintaining his reputation, I really don't have an idea how will I maintain my bank balance.

With that we walked in, hand in hand. Yes, hand in hand. He initiated on holding hands and I just simply didn't want to reject the offer. We went in, took our seats and the waiter gave us the menu. I was almost scrutinizing the menu as I couldn't believe the prices of the dishes. They really were expensive. I ordered the cheapest dish that they had. When I say cheapest, I mean, with that amount one would be able to have four meals a day straight for seven days in a normal restaurant. We both were done ordering our food and were waiting for the food to arrive in silence until he decided to break it.
