No Strings Attached || ON HOLD

Chapter 3

(Taehyung POV)

I woke up from the deep slumber following the sound of some vibration, the constant buzz irritating me. I slowly try to stretch my limbs but stop as I find y/n sleeping peacefully with her head on my left arm, while her hand is laying over my chest.

*buzz*buzz*buzz*
*buzz*buzz*buzz*

The annoying buzzing interrupts me again.
It's coming from her side table so it's probably her phone ringing.

I let it be, ignoring the buzz. I can't wake her up. She looks so dreamy, curled up like a little child, sleeping sound. She must have been tired last night, she slept before I could get her to cuddle.

But at some point in the night, I had felt her body press close to mine and the feeling helped me sleep really better.

I turned carefully to face her, our noses just centimeters apart.

How can someone look so angelic despite having smudged eyeliner all around her eyes? What a cutie!

Again my peace was interrupted by the buzzing. It's just around 8 in the morning...who could be calling her so early?

The buzzing just won't stop. With her head on my arm, I couldn't reach out to her phone. As much as I hated it, I had to wake her up.

I tugged the messy hair strands behind her ear, away from her face.

"Y/n? Wake up..." I whispered, caressing her cheek. She stirred a little.

"Wake up...your phone is ringing...you might want to check it..."

She opened her eyes, blinking at the early morning light before staring at me in surprise. As she jerked up, our heads almost collided.

"You.." she mumbled, looking at me with wonder. Does she not remember last night?!

It was funny watching the realization hit her that she was naked and pulled all the sheets around herself.

"Relax, Y/n...just check your phone once, It's been ringing for almost 15 minutes now, "I told her

She grabbed her phone from the bedside table and took the call.

"Hello?-yeah oh, Mr. Marco!" She responded, Clearly freaking out and sitting up straight.

"Sì, signore–I do remember, Sì!" (Yes, Sir)

"I got caught up in something, mi scuso per questo!"  (I apologize)

Woah, so she can speak pretty good Italian! I couldn't grasp what she was talking about but could understand this much that she was supposed to be somewhere early.

"no, no per favor , Mr. Marco! I do want to work with you!.." (no, no, please)

Wait–it's probably related to her work, we shouldn't have overslept but the exertion from last night was to blame...

"I request you, Sir, Let's reschedule... farò un buon affare" ( I'll make a good deal)

"Sì, te lo prometto signore" (Yes, I promise you, sir)

She just listens to the other man for some time and even I can figure out from his voice that he is annoyed over something.

"Mi dispiace davvero, signore–it won't happen again..." (I'm really sorry, Sir)

"Si, grazie mille!" (Yes, thank you very much)

She cut the call, throwing her phone across the bed in a fit. I jumped in instinct.

"How could I be so so stupid!! Agghh!! Damn it!!!" She cursed.

"Y/n..."I called out .. trying to comfort her out of her frustration."Don't be so hard on yourself.. you just overslept, it happens, okay?"

She looked up at me, her eyes brimmed with tears about to fall. I moved closer to her, trying to embrace her in a hug but she violently pushed me away as I gasped in surprise.

"I almost lost the deal because of you! You are to blame! I overslept because of you !" She yelled

"Aish-how can you blame me, y/n!! "

"You–" she cut herself off in the middle of a sentence when her phone rang again. I handed it to her, and she sprang up, glaring angrily at me, enveloping herself in all the blankets and pulling them along to the sofa, where she received the call.

Oh, she looks so cute when she is angry. It made me want to let her be mad at me.

While she was talking on the call which I couldn't quite understand was about, I went to the bathroom.

When I returned, she was seated on the sofa, wrapped in sheets like a robe, her head rested on her hands, her gaze fixed on nothing. 

"Are you all right?" I enquired.

"I got kicked out from the hotel" she mumbled.

Did I hear that correctly? " what?"

"I got kicked out of my hotel. The deal that got canceled for today was supposed to give me money to pay for the rest of the stay...well-no deal, no money, no room. "She sighed.
"They have requested that I collect my belongings and check out in an hour."

I felt sorry for her. The morning has clearly been harsh on her. 

Then the most amazing idea popped into my head."Come on, let's go get your stuff"

"What? and then where should I go, huh? I don't have the money to spend on stays now!" she stated, looking at me with her eyes wide.

"Stay here with me, easy"

"AH-of course I can't!"

"Why not?"I challenged. I had to get her to agree. 

"Taehyung, I can't pay for a single bed dingy room, how am I gonna pay for a suite for god's sake?"

"Who is asking u to pay, stay with me -for free"

She threw her hands up in frustration."No, I can't! Besides- we are strangers.. and you are a world-famous celeb-how could you let a stranger stay with you?!

"We are not strangers.. we spent the night together!! we are friends!"I argued.

"Woah-you make 'friends' real fast!" she replied, mocking me.

"Y/n, please.. stay here. Just think about it... I have this huge suite all to myself- I would really like some company..and we can be friends, right? Didn't you have fun last night?"I said, trying to calm her with reason.

It had the desired effect. The mention of last night made her blush instantly and she looked away trying to hide her flustered face. I could feel the heat rise to my face too as moments from the night replayed in my head.

"I did...have fun" she spoke softly, a whisper.

"Well, then the case is closed. I'm happy to help. So let's get your stuff then, Okay?"

She finally nodded in agreement, with the sweet smile that made my heart flutter.
