Mafia's Promise || Kim Taehyung

Chapter 10

"P-punish m-me?" I stammered.

"You have to know your manners, you know," Taehyung said, slightly smirking.

I started having an uneasy feeling around this dude, so I coughed and finally uttered, "So...if you don't have anything to do with me, I will...go home, I guess."

"Yeah, sure," he stared at me, "See you...tomorrow."

I slowly opened my mouth to say a bye, but he placed his hand on my chin and closed my mouth. "Be ready for tomorrow then...Ms. Y/N," he whispered, and walked away.

I wanted to let him know that his jacket was still with me, but his figure started getting smaller, and I was comfy with it on. Well, he can buy hundreds of such jackets with the money he's got. But still I've gotta give him this jacket back, or he'll think of me as some sort of thief. I slowly turned around and walked back home.

Taehyung P.O.V
(Next morning)

Beep-beep-beep...Beep-beep-beep...

My alarm went off, and I slowly got out of bed. I wish winter mornings never existed! I went to take a shower, and spent the next forty-five minutes admiring myself in the mirror.

Aish! Do I have to look this handsome?

I went downstairs to the kitchen and spent the next half an hour choosing between the 'very special, from-the-foreign, one-of-a-kind, Ramyeon soup' and the '$12,000 Louis Pizza'. Then I went to the drawer with the car keys, and spent the next 15 minutes deciding which car to take. And my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered the phone.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'HE CAN'T'?!"

Y/N P.O.V
(Morning)

"Y/N! How are you going to get to the company in time when I'm away?" Hoseok oppa sighed, folding the sheets.

"You said something?" I muttered with my eyes half closed.

"Aish! You need this job for the sake of your mission! It would be really dumb of you to actually lose it just because you couldn't 'wake up in the morning'.'

"I'm awake! I'm awake!" I yelled, still half asleep. I got out of bed, and did my morning chores. I was not in a mood to meet up with Mr. You-know-who. I really hope he forgot the 'punishment', because he was capable of anything.

I waved oppa a 'goodbye' and started walking to the bus stop. But to my surprise, I met someone there.

"You're ready for work?"

"I guess...I'm not sure," I replied.

"Why? Is something the matter?" he asked.

"Nothing," I muttered, looking away, not wanting to express the truth.

"Well, Jin Hyung is sick today," Jimin sighed, "I'm just sad that I couldn't stay home with him. I have a ceremony today which I'd planned weeks ago."

I looked at his sad face. Well, if I could help him out, maybe it won't be a waste of that cute face, right?

"Maybe I can stay with him," I smiled at him.

"You can?" Jimin's face lit up. He was about to say something, when the bus arrived. I got in and sat with Jimin.

"I'll ask Taehyung to let you go early, so that you can check up on Jin hyung," Jimin excitedly exclaimed. I just hope this decision won't be disastrous.

We reached the company and headed different directions. I saw people at the lift entrance. Turns out the lift had some problem, so we had to take the stairs.
