13. Rants

Taehyung sat down at the waiting area of the agency handling his career. With a can of soda in one hand, and his mobile phone in the other, he started composing a message for Jin.

"Good morning, Taehyung."

Taehyung looked up, smiled, and finished messaging Jin before putting it inside his pocket. "Sorry, I was texting someone. Good morning, Amy."

One of the actresses who worked with him in his latest movie blushed seeing Taehyung smile. Fixing her short skirt, Amy slowly sat down beside Taehyung. "The premiere is scheduled next week."

"I know." Taehyung gave Amy a tight-lipped smile. He already knew what Amy wanted and he didn't want it.

Amy bit her lips while rubbing her palms on her skirt. She was avoiding smiling, and to get all shy, thinking of the best way to ask Taehyung.

"You wanted to be my date?"

Amy's eyes widened and she smiled, feeling grateful she didn't have to ask as she was very nervous just being near Taehyung. Pushing her hair behind her ear, she blushed as she speak, "Well, that's if you don't have a date yet. I would love to."

Taehyung stared at Amy's very flustered face. He didn't want to sound rude but at the same time, he had no interest in any of the celebrities who wanted him. "Minyu, Kris, Millie, Paul, Jay, they also asked me. You know what I mean right? When I say yes to one of you, everyone else will get disappointed."

Amy's face turned upside down. She thought she was the only one interested in Taehyung during their shoot. Indeed, it was a disappointing feeling knowing almost all the actors in the movie asked Taehyung out. She felt betrayed. "But what if you really want to date me? You will stop yourself just because you don't want to disappoint them? That's unfair. And we'll all get disappointed anyway."

Taehyung wanted to laugh. How come Amy thought he wanted to date her. "Exactly my point. I don't want to sound rude to anyone. I am always respectful to my coworkers. Even in bed scenes, you know I never took advantage of anyone. I consider you all as colleagues because we might cross paths again for other projects. Same with you to them. Let me just make it clear, I am not interested in dating anyone from the show business. I would love to date someone out of this business. A doctor, perhaps."

Amy's eyes started to tear up. She was never been declined in her life. All men wanted her. She's beautiful and many people tell her she's the sexiest actress in the present. She might not be as popular as Taehyung, still, she believed she was good enough for Taehyung. "What if I quit being an actress, would you date me then?"

"No. I'm already interested in someone." Taehyung held the actress's hand and smiled while looking into her eyes, "Amy, you don't need to quit chasing your dreams just because I declined to date you. That's not how things work. There are so many guys out there. Not just me. And just so you know, I'm not interested in women."

Amy looked down at her hands being held by Taehyung. "So, the news spreading is true? A cashier claimed you were seen in a grocery store paying for your boyfriend's groceries?"

Taehyung raised an eyebrow at Amy. He didn't know about the issue yet. But before he could answer, someone tapped Amy's shoulder.

"Hey, you! Out! Stop prying on Taehyung's private life." Hoseok said in his high-pitched tone.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hoseok." Amy bowed as she hurriedly stood up from the couch.

"Just improve your acting skills so you can get more projects rather than quitting just to get fucked by my actor. Now find someone who will pay for your groceries. Get out!" Hoseok demanded and Amy rushed out of the waiting room.
