Well-

I wasn't surprised when I woke and didn't find taehyung beside me. All he left behind was a stupid note saying thanks and where I could find the keycard to see myself out.

I had to rush out and find a cab to get home and shower for work. So yeah - I should have just gone with my instinct and left last night because he's an asshole.

Work had been keeping me occupied. I hadn't seen kookie yet but I was continuously glancing at the Gucci scarf wrapped around my bandage. He had a great taste in fashion. Many complimented the scarf and I just gave awkward smiles. I could never afford Gucci,  even if it meant this little piece of cloth.

"Goodmorning my flower- ", he startled me once again. I lift my eyes to meet his twinkling ones. The guilt of last night making me want to puke as he leaned in and kissed me. "Hi-", I whisper with a smile when he pulled away. "You look tired -", he stroked my cheek. "Just work documents keeping me up at night", oh - and your brother. "I bet you aren't resting like I asked", he pout and I give a guilty nod. "Well- I don't want to hear any excuses tonight. You and me are having supper together and watching a boring old movie ", he tapped my nose playfully. I wish I could say yes but I had shifts at the club.

"C'mon, I know that look. What do you have to do tonight?", he sighed and my heart ached. "Nothing ", I blurt,  waving my hands. "Nothing- me and you", I force a smile as he clapped happily, his bunny smile making my heart swoon. "You're cute-", I shake my head and he wiggled his brows. "Okay- go away now. I have work to do", I honestly did not know what excuse to give to Mr Norman. I hadn't worked shifts for a while. Now when he needed me - I had to cook up a lie. I couldn't neglect jungkook.

"Never knew you were into Gucci- ", I lift my eyes to meet his as he watched my wrist. "The only Gucci I own -", I laugh but he furrowed his brows. "The other night you were in a Gucci jacket". I swear I freeze. My heart pounding in my ASS! I was stuck. I did not have any lie to cover that mess. "Did you forget?", his smile seemed forced but I laugh awkwardly,  "yes , silly me", I give my forehead a smack. He only hummed in response. "I'll see you later ", he said and I stand to give him a hug because I fucking screwed up.

"You look beautiful- ", he whispered as he wrapped his arms around me. "Thank you-", I whisper into his chest. "I'll see you later-", he repeat, giving my forehead a kiss. As we were about to part ways , both our eyes somehow move to the same direction in which taehyung had suddenly appeared. Jungkook looked confused but my eyes widen. Taehyung had that same unbothered expression on his face. I bet he was still in work clothes.

"Taehyung?", jungkook greet. "Hey-", he deadpanned as he halt infront of us. His eyes never finding mine- they remained on jungkook. "What are you doing here?", kookie asked with a smile. "Delivery from mother", he held out his hand , jungkook took the brown packet and peeked inside. "Oh ! Burger and fries-", he chimed and taehyung gave a nod. "She got me lunch?", kookie smiled. "Are you still working?", he asked and taehyung gave a nod. "I'm heading back now. Just ran an errand for mother", still - he never bothered to pass me a glance.

Again- why was I expecting so much from this prick? He made it clear that we were just fucking. No title.

"Thanks tae" , jungkook gave his shoulder a squeeze. "Yeah", taehyung flicked his hair away from his eyes and turned away , heading for the exit. I watched him leave without even uttering anything to me. "Hey, you can have this" , he left the packet on my desk. "I already had lunch ", he gave my cheek a kiss. "You okay?", he asked and I snap out of my lingering thoughts. "Yes, thank you", I smile up. "Okay , you enjoy that. I'll see you later", he stroked my cheek and walked away to the elevator.

I take a seat behind my desk and lift my phone after it buzzed.


Satan :

The meal you asked for last night.
I didn't know jungkook would
be around.
Sorry.

I place down the phone without giving a reply. My eyes shift to the food packet and I smile. Why was I smiling? Oh right- maybe because he wasn't such an asshole after all.

Even with a shit load of work scattered on my desk- I couldn't seem to concentrate. Was I missing something? Or was Anastasia hiding something?

I know taehyung would never admit to having friends but I'm sure he did. I couldn't help getting the feeling that Anastasia was in that very small friend circle. Maybe she had ignored my steer clear warning and befriended that asshole anyway. But - then again I've never known taehyung to just get along with someone he had just met.

The two just weren't adding up.

Anastasia was asked to stay away from him.
And Taehyung doesn't get along with new folks. So why was this feeling of them being friends not subsiding. The Gucci- I've only ever seen taehyung wear that brand. It's expensive and he enjoys wasting his money because he has no fucking life. I've been with Anastasia for 2 years now. She's not one to bathe in brands , especially not Gucci. She had bills to pay and responsibilities. She was not a materialistic girl and that's one of the reasons I love her.

She had even forgotten about the jacket she wore.

With a heavy sigh, I comb my fingers through my hair and lift my phone to text mother.


Me :
Hey beautiful lady.
Thanks for the lunch ♡

I'm sure she was busy and would respond later on but before I could place down the phone- she had replied.

Mama:

What lunch?

Okay.

I was officially confused.

Fuck.

I couldn't get any work done with this stupid feeling sitting on my shoulder like a fucking demon poking me with its pitchfork.

I'm going to assume this time around- it was probably a little angel smacking some sense into my brain.

Grabbing the brown food packet,  I get out of my car ,slamming the door. She didn't fucking need lunch. We were just fucking . But she had asked ever so sweetly last night about food. She was probably hungry and I fucked her instead of feeding her first. So yeah,  I was feeling alittle guilty.

No - this isn't some cliché bullshit of me falling for her. I just felt bad. Don't fucking overthink this.

The guard at the door greet as I passed to enter. My eyes immediately finding jungkook beside her. Fuck - this is why i rarely do kind acts. Their eyes turn to me and mine takes notice of my scarf around her wrist.

"Taehyung?", jungkook looked more surprised than happy. "Hey-", I deadpanned. I keep my eyes on him even though I could feel her staring. "What are you doing here?", he smiled that dorky smile . A lie - I was great at lying on the spot and under pressure.  "Delivery from mother -", I hold out the food packet and he takes it. Fuck - I hope he didn't go thank her later.

"Oh ! Burger and fries-", he chimed and I nod . "She got me lunch?", he  smiled. "Are you still working?", he made conversation,  i simply nod again - trying my best not to make eye contact with Anastasia .

"I'm heading back now. Just ran an errand for mother".

"Thanks tae" , he placed a hand on my shoulder, giving it a squeeze. "Yeah", I bring up a hand , flicking my hair away from my eyes. Without a goodbye, I turn and head for the exit. Fuck that was awkward. The second I'm outside - I pull out my phone and enter her chat. Literally the only person I was texting.

She needed to know it was for her.
