(Y/n)
I woke up early to catch the bus to go to work across town. With all the stops it would take me a solid hour to get there early so I would be on time. I finished my morning routine by taking my backpack and coat and walking out the door.
Taehyun
I was waiting for her in the lobby. It was really early but I wanted to be the first person to greet her. Beomgyu and Soobin kept teasing me but I didn't care. I was just happy she was coming to work closely with me.
(Y/n)
I walked in showing my badge nervous for the first day of work. I felt nauseous from my anxiety but battled through it. I got to the lobby and was looking at the board with all the floors and floor numbers to figure out where I needed to go.
"Hm if you are looking for my floor it is right here. There is a special elevator that only a few people have access to you being one of them." I jumped, getting startled by him.
"Oh sorry, Mr. Kang didn't see you there. Wait am I late? I am soooo sorry if I am late. It takes me a solid hour to get here on the bus but I will leave earlier next time. If there is a next time oh my I just assumed there was a next time. I am sorry I-" he put his hand on my shoulder which caused me to shut up almost immediately. He smiled at me and shook his head almost fondly.
"You are not late and if you ever want a ride just call me I will personally pick you up myself. But making a mental note of your many nervous habits. I got stuttering, rambling, and biting the skin off your fingers." He looked down at my hand that was raw from the morning commute.
No more words were exchanged as we walked to the elevator. He was giving me my schedule for the day and I wrote notes next to everything that he didn't add on the paper but was verbally telling me.
We got off the elevator and he opened the door to his office. I sat my bag next to his doorway and looked at the small desk in front of his office. I placed all my things there and went back for my backpack. Placing it behind the desk. I didn't realize he was still talking and expected me to come in the office with him until I looked up from organizing the desk and he was leaning on the door frame looking at me.
"I am sor-"
"Stop saying you are sorry. I guess that is another nervous habit you have. Anyways we have a meeting in 5." I nod and get mentally prepared for the meeting. He had left his door wide open so he could watch me.
We got to the meeting and I stood behind him ready to take notes. People walked in and started small talk until everyone got there.
"(Y/n) please sit down next to me," Taehyun said, patting the chair next to him. I complied and sat next to making a to-do list until we were ready.
Taheyun introduced everybody to me and we started the meeting. An older guy with blonde hair and tattoos was giving a presentation. I was writing everything while chewing on my thumb. I looked up to write the last thing and winced silently in pain. I looked down at my thumb bleeding which caused Taehyun to look over and see if I was okay.
The meeting ended and I excused myself to go to the bathroom. I washed my thumb wincing at the disinfectant working causing a sting. The door opened and Taehyun walked in with a Band-Aid.
"How long have you had this habit?" He asked cautiously.
"Um... 7ish years." He put his hands on my hips and lifted me on the counter.
"I am surprised you still have a thumb. What made you gain the habit." I sighed contemplating if I should tell him or not. I had this weird gut feeling telling me to trust him, but I was still scared.
"Um, a traumatic experience. I have tried many things to stop but nothing has worked yet. It's much worse when um... when I don't feel safe so this is nothing." I chucked and he finished placing the Band-Aid which for some reason he took his sweet time doing.
We walked out and I started working on other things.
Taehyun
I sat in my office with the door open watching (Y/N) work. The bags under her eyes, the discoloration of her skin from not having proper nutrients, her baggy clothes since it seems she has lost weight from when she bought them. My heart ached so bad. How could God put my true love in a position like this and she still has a positive outlook on life? I think what hurt me the most was that she has been alone and scared since she was 15.
I felt a stray tear fall from my left eye. It startled me nonetheless since I just got to know her but feel like I have known her for sooo much longer.
I make it my mission to make her always feel safe and never feel lonely or scared ever again. I jumped when I heard the knock on my open startling me since I was so deep in my thoughts. I look up to see (Y/N) bringing in a packet of papers with a small smile.
"Mr.Kang are you busy?" she asked and I chuckled at what she called me.
"No I am not and you can call me Taehyun" She nodded waiting for me to wave her in before setting foot in my office.
"These papers need to be signed and then I will deliver them to someone named Choi Soobin." She placed the papers on my desk and I signed them quickly.
"I will take them don't worry, I need to speak to him anyway. Oh by the way... what would you like for lunch?" Her eyes widened with panic when I mentioned lunch.
"Oh no, sir don't worry I brought my own." I wasn't too convinced so I nodded and just decided to put an order in for her anyways.
I walked down the hall to Soobin to find Beomgyu also in his office.
"What are you two doing? Why do I always find you together? Should I just merge your offices at this point?" They both smiled and turned around playfully rolling their eyes at me.
"How can we help you Taehyun?" Beomgyu turned completely to me from where he was sitting on Soobin's desk.
"Oh, I brought these to you Soobin already signed." I placed the stack of papers on his desk then took a seat on his couch.
"I have been trying to get you to sign these papers for months now. What made you do it now?" Beomgyu smiled at the blush that crept to my cheeks.
"Oh we get it (Y/N) placed them in front of you and you signed them. Nice to know that we should go through her now." I rolled my eyes at his comment, but they both knew something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Soobin peeked over the papers at me and gave a glance to Beomgyu. I sat back ready to tell them everything that has presented itself.
A few minutes later
"Wait... You are telling me that the girl you have been dreaming about since you were 18 has been alone since she was 15, had a traumatic experience, and is barely surviving but she still is shy and won't take handouts? You are also telling me that this causes you so much pain you cried?" The three of us were pretty stunned at her stoic and resilient nature, but I think the way I feel about it caught them off guard the most.
