Chapter 25: The Reason Why

TAEHYUNG'S POV

"Fuck it."

I dashed to our company's office as per the request of our boss. And I knew it had to do with those fucking baseless rumors.

It angers me even more how this happened at such a very wrong time!

"Glad you came, Taehyung." The new CEO spoke as soon as I came in. "So what's your deal with the business tycoon's daughter-"

"I want this done with. It's not true."

"And you're saying the truth?"

I rolled my eyes and just stood there, wanting already to leave. "We're just acquaintances. Say that to the media." And I walked out of there.

Media, the fucking dispatch, and news outlets. They really have nothing to do but follow us and our every movement. It's pitiful and annoying at the same time.

Just before I could get in my car, my phone rang. And it was from that acquaintance, Sir Chun's daughter, whom I attended the opening exhibit of Korea International Art Fair with.

I answered the call and told my apologies. It's shameful for her and their family to be included in this issue when they have been nothing but good to me.

"I apologized as well. I hope your girlfriend isn't thinking about anything bad."

Damn, I hope so too.

After ending the call, I hopped into my car, drove, and called the only person that could calm me down right now. But hell, she wasn't answering!

Before I could call her again, a call from our CEO came in. I sighed and answered.

"Were you that mad because you have a girlfriend named Jisoo?"

"What the hell?!" I abruptly stepped on the breaks. Fortunately for me, no other car was behind.

"Where did you get that information, hyung?!" Adding to my enraged temper, I just had to address him informally.

"Uhmm from another rumor?"

I didn't answer and just closed my eyes. Massaging my forehead with my fingers, I felt exhausted from all of these accusations. I just want to go home to her, and I'm praying she'll still welcome me with open arms after all of this.

"I'm watching your moments on YouTube now. This rumor... this time, it's true then? You and Jisoo look good-"

"No. Please announce that I'm dating The Minatozaki Sana already. I'm tired of all these shits." Clenching my jaw, I started the car again.

"W-what?! The TWICE's Sana?!"

I heard shuffles and gasps from the other line.

"L-let's talk about this another time. Alright. The staff is already writing to deny these rumors."

I sighed. "Thank you."

"Be careful."

"Neh, hyung. Thanks." When the call ended, I tried calling her again.

And the slow beeps of my phone after the continuous rings meant that she didn't answer again.

I paused for a while and maneuvered the wheel in a different way. I was going to a scheduled program today but with these rumors and the love of my life not answering, I guess I can skip.

I tuned the radio in, knowing it's gonna be a long ride from here to their place. A specific Japanese song of theirs played. And of course, I knew it. It's one of her favorites from their Japanese releases.
