Paint Me | Kang Taehyun

7. GUEST

Taehyun:

It was really fun to tease her. She looked so adorable whenever she blushed. Should I carry on with the punishment today as well? It's going to be an interesting day just like yesterday. I thought thinking about ways to keep her close to myself.

Hayun:

I was too tired to go to work because Taehyun gave me a lot of work and teased me so much, but it was the day of the art exhibition we had been preparing for so we had to go earlier to check on the preparations.

I reached the entrance of museum and saw someone talking on his phone, at some distance. I wished to not see his face but my day had to start with meeting him before anything. Great! I walked towards him to greet him and he finished the conversation on his phone. I couldn't walk past the ''Boss'' without greeting him, right? ''Good morning Mr. Kang!'' I bowed ''Good morning Hayun-ssi! Follow me'' he ordered. I stared at him in surprise thinking if he was going to order me again. ''Did you forget about your punishment?'' he asked quirking his eyebrows. ''But you said it was only for yesterday'' I frowned.

''Miss Lee I said I'll forgive you if you don't make any mistakes but do you want me to remind those?'' he raised his eyebrows eyeing me and I just looked at him with a blank expression. ''What? Are you going to complain to Yeonjun hyung or Beomgyu hyung?'' he added. ''I'm not a school kid who would complain about such things at home'' I scoffed and he rolled his eyes. ''Whatever...you need to come with me to the airport to welcome our chief guest for today's event'' he made his way to the parking area to get his car and I followed him.

We were waiting for our chief guest at the airport, who had just landed from Europe. My eyes lit up seeing a familiar face walking towards us. ''Welcome back to Seoul...Mr. Jeon Jungkook. It's our honor that you accepted our invitation.'' Taehyun greeted and extend his hand for a shake but Jungkook pulled him into a light hug saying ''Drop the formalities Taehyun-ah we have known each other for a long time and you were my favorite junior at our art school''.

''Welcome Mr. Jeon Jungkook, I'm Lee Hayun, the assistant curator. It's a pleasure to meet you'' I greeted him trying to suppress my laughter while extending my hand for a shake but Jungkook did not follow along as he ruffled my hair and said ''Stop playing around Hayun-ah, it has been a while'' he chuckled and pinched my cheeks.

I looked at Taehyun who stood there with a confused face. ''Oh right...he is my older brother's close friend so we already know each other'' I explained to Taehyun. ''I see...well, Jungkook hyung we'll take you to the hotel where we've reserved a room for you so you can freshen up before the event. We still have two hours left.'' said the director.

(A/N: I know that I haven't mentioned anything about Hayun's siblings but yes she has an older brother who will appear later on.)

The exhibition went well. A lot of people attended including people of various age groups along with many art students. Jungkook became the center of attraction due to his live demonstration of painting and also his visuals which had many ladies swooning over him.

''Good work everyone and thank you for today.'' Taehyun said grabbing the attention of all the staff members who were munching on some snacks after the long day as the exhibition was wrapped up for the day and they all bowed to show their respect to him and everyone cheered ''You worked hard as well sir!'' few of the staff members said and he smiled shyly and thanked them. His smile was so heartwarming, I could feel myself melting and my heartbeat increased. What's wrong with you Lee Hayun? Why are you feeling this way? Stop with these weird thoughts.

I was helping Jungkook to pack his stuff like paints and brushes which he used for the live demonstration. After finishing the work we just talked a bit to catch up with our lives.

Taehyun:

I was walking around to check up on a few things when I heard some giggles which belonged to Hayun and Jungkook. I didn't want to eavesdrop but my feet dragged me a little closer to them, I stood behind a wall so they couldn't see me. I saw Jungkook patting Hayun's head and she lightly punched his shoulder as they talked about their childhood days.

''Hayun-ah, are you free tonight? I'll take you for dinner'' Jungkook said and Hayun nodded her head excitedly. I just turned around and had to admit that I was jealous. The way Hayun looked at him told that she was so comfortable being with him. It looked like the two enjoyed each other's company.

Being lost in thoughts, I didn't even realise that the two had got up and were walking towards me. ''Hey Taehyun-ah what are you doing here?'' Jungkook spoke as he tapped on my shoulder from behind which made me snap out of my thoughts. ''Nothing...I was just checking up on a few things'' I answered. ''Oh okay. Anyways...can I take Hayun with me? I want to take her out for dinner'' He asked and the girl looked at me with hopeful eyes. I didn't want her to go but at the same time didn't want her to be disappointed so I had to agree as I said ''Yes hyung...it's almost the time for her to leave so yeah'' I chuckled awkwardly. ''Thank you so much Mr. Kang!'' she bowed and smiled brightly which melted my heart. The two said their goodbyes and I watched the two leaving as Jungkook placed his arm on her shoulder. Disappointment, anger, and confusion took over my mind. Why don't you look at me like that Hayun? Why don't you smile like that when you're with me?
