Mafia's Promise || Kim Taehyung

Chapter 6

"Why are you crying?" I asked, "If you don't mind me asking." She looked at me, wiping her wet tears on her sleeve.

"Kim Taehyung sir..." she barely could speak from all that crying. What did that bastard do now?!

"...he fired me from the post of receptionist."

"Why?" I asked again.

"He said that I should do a better job as a receptionist. I know I let a man in without checking him first, but that was by accident. The more hits this company is getting, the tighter is my job!" Im Nayeon spoke, "I didn't know he would just fire me on spot." She started crying again.

Then, she got down to her knees and started begging me, "Please, help me! Help me get my job back! I have a family to feed, and myself. I need this job."

I was taken aback by her action. I just joined this job. I can't just go over to him and demand him to give Im Nayeon her job back! Which I can, to be honest, but I don't feel like I want to. She then started praying to me. I held her by her shoulder and made her stand on her feet. I didn't feel like I wanted to do this, but looking at her desperate moves just made me do it.

"Okay, I'll see what I can do," I slowly uttered. She then hugged me, saying that she will pay me back someday. I smiled at her, and went to find Taehyung. I just hope I made the right decision.

Jimin P.O.V

Y/N ran away from her room. But how far can she run, anyways? She has always been running her whole life. Running away from the memories, the truth, and her true self. They are chasing her every chance they get. But how far will she go before she gets tired? It just worries me thinking about her, that I don't even try to think. I just hope she finds her way out.

As I got out of her room, I looked at Taehyung. He sat down on his chair, and placed his hands on his head. Ever since Mr. Kim died and he got to be the CEO, he has been frustrated and tired. Jin hyung is the only person who can calm him down, but how long can that last either?

Sometimes it feels like knowing everything is a sin. It fills you up with guilt as you walk down the road. I try to forget the old days, since they are the things holding me back. I try to forget the time when Taehyung helped me get a job here. I try to forget how Jin hyung made me his own brother. It's just hard not to help them back.

"Taehyung-ah!" I exclaimed, "Why the sad face?"

"Just leave me Jimin," he spoke lightly.

"Come on now. It's not the end of the world. Try to lift your spirits!" I tried to lighten the mood.

"I have to go," he stood up and started walking towards the door.

"You have a meeting?" I asked and he nodded to the floor.

"I guess you can go then," I said, and he left.

Y/N P.O.V

I thought of acting as bold as I could. I had met Jin oppa on the way, and he'd told me that Taehyung was ready to go to a meeting of some cars and stuff. All I needed to do was convince him to give Im Nayeon her job back before she kills herself, that's it. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy.

I went through the huge hallways, when I finally spotted Taehyung ready to enter a black car. I ran towards him and was ready to yell his name, when he looked at me and smirked. I slowed down and started walking. He stared at me till I reached in front of him.

"You want something?" He asked in a bold and cold voice. His expression had gone completely blank, "Just so that you know, I gave you those doughnuts because it was your first day. You can't just ask me for food."

"What?" I muttered, breaking out of my thoughts.

"Why are you staring at me?" We both asked each other at the same time, and we both broke eye contact.

I coughed and he cleared his throat, "You wanted something...Miss Y/N?"

"Umm...I wanted to talk about the receptionist's job. You seemed to have fired her, but she needs her job," I broke the silence.

"So you're here to request me to give her, her job back?" He asked. I didn't know what to say, so I nodded.

"Well you have to try harder for that I guess," he grinned.

I raised my eyebrow, "Excuse me! I don't have all day to 'demand' for that person's job whom I don't even KNOW!"

"Then I'm going," he said and turned to go inside the car. I had to convince him for Im Nayeon and her family's sake, so I grabbed his hand and pulled it. He turned back around and I tried to speak as calmly as possible.

"She really needs her job for her life!" I told him, "What was her fault?"

"If she lets people in without checking whether they are safe or not, then how the hell is she a receptionist?" Taehyung exclaimed.

"You should have more than two receptionists in this mega building of yours. How can she check all the people by herself?" I argued.

"Fine, I'll give Nayeon her job back," He finally said, after a long time. Outside, I was calm and serious. Inside, I was dancing my butt off. Finally I don't have to see his somewhat attractive face, and Nayeon is happy.

But I got a bit too excited before time. "Only if you do one thing I say without questioning it," Taehyung finished.

"And what is that one thing?" I held my guard up and looked at him in the eyes. He smirked and said, "I'll let you know when I need it."

He opened the door of the black car, and got in. He sat down, and waved me a goodbye, see you later. I have a bad feeling about this person, and now this job.
