Part Time: Rose's Thorns

Chapter 17: Lemon Tequila

Quick Update as I'm out for the whole day again since it's my graduation. Hopefully ya'll enjoyed with this <3


"Who's Tyler." You ask confusingly when she mentions someone's name who seems to make her act suspiciously right now. Although it's not because you're jealous, but to protect her too like what she does. 

"I can't tell you right now." She answers after glancing at your assistant. "I'm sorry Y/N, I'll see you back at the condo tonight."

You were left speechless as you watch her enter her car before pulling away in your front -- she took a right turn from the entrance gate and soon hear her car's exhaust roar into the distance. Her sudden actions is what makes you worry, your assistant had the same reaction when you turned at him.

Deep inside, the mind calls to follow her where she goes with your charger, but it was late, she had a distance already and only if you had think about it just as she leaves you. There was nothing to do but wait at the condo and hope she's fine wherever she's at right now. 

Technically, waiting and doing nothing at the condo was one of the things you hated the most, and so you visited Gangnam to cool yourself. Young-ho decided to stay on the condo instead in purpose of waiting for her old manager, but you knew he just didn't liked strolling around crowded places.

When the sun is almost down, the club was your place. Greeted by the loud raving music and flashing lights that were colorful in set, you sat by the leveled chair where you face the bartender while he does the tricks by himself, which was your favorite spot since back on the states. Beer? Nope, Wine? Nope, just a Tequila will do the trick for the mean time while Jessica isn't still around. Doesn't mean that you don't really care about her, but just to buzz yourself off from worrying all the time.

Spinning the glass in circles, someone sat on the chair beside you and you ignored it. You assume to be just a stranger having the moment of its life or maybe just the same way as you are but you were wrong, it was unexpectedly Taeyeon. Her eyes travels to you slowly, this time it was full of mystery.

"What a surprise?" She chuckles. "Maybe not? Just the typical boy I know who loves clubs and bars just like where fuckboys should be.""

You smile instead while your heart races like hell, you're not scared but rather, she completely changed and you weren't used to it. 

"I see, let's pretend you didn't hear that." She adds when you didn't respond. "But it was nice seeing our lost friend again if it wasn't for you." 

You never expected that Jessica did meet them even if she walked out from the room after telling about it. You didn't look into her eyes and pretended you didn't care at all 

"The thing is, you're trying to hide it from me or even from my members about it." She grabbed her Tequila which she copied from yours. "You know she's a terrible woman, Y/n. The fact she got kicked out from our company because of her greediness is one of the shameful things you could ever hear"

"You can't just say something like that to the who used to be your friend. Come on, you still never changed."

She chuckles and gives a worrying mock expression at you. "Oh boy, of course you'd protect your girlfriend from all the negative thoughts people would bathe into her just like any boyfriends would do." Between her words, pours the Tequila into her mouth. The way she sips the liquor while keeping her eyes locked at you was beyond enticing, yet you have to control your emotions to it until she places her fingers on the side of your shoulder.

"Taeyeon, not here." You stutter, looking away. "You can't do such thing on a public place."

"How cute." She giggles. "Y/n still worrying about my career whenever I do something at him that he would never expect in the public, just like those years."

You look at her once again when you finally had the courage to do so. "Can we just pretend like those years never existed. Just tell me what's your deal, I don't know if you're playing wi-"

She places her index finger across your lips unexpectedly. "Pretend like we never existed? Pretend like nothing happened during those years." Her smirk widens as a chuckle follows. "That's a bad deal if you would ask me. Maybe I can if I do one, I'll just pretend that you never left me instead? How about that? Of course, you'll reject that offer, Ms. Jess will be mad which was definitely the point of my deal."

Her fingers began to trace slowly down to your forearm, before it meets your hand. Your hormones is on it again, you can't immediately pull the white flag just with her little touches that seem to arouse you. Answering her tease, you twist your hand in effort to grab hers as you pushed it all the way to the edge of the table until her body faces you, seemingly doing a 'kabedon' to her. She smiles mischievously, not a single sign of shockness shows on her face.

"I guess this is what you're really waiting for me to do in order you to stop." You softly say with a slight frustration in your tone. She giggles in response and seem to enjoy the moment she's in.

"You're a big boy already, you know how you can make a woman surrender in the palm of your hands." She answers softly, feeling her hot breath smelling like lemon liquor. Her eyes moves into your lips in which she watches. "You know I'm a tough one, Y/n. Remember, you're not in the states. You're just attracting the devil even more" She says in full English. 

There was no use and instead, it seemed to give her an advantage more than the opposite one. You finally pull out your grasp from her wrist and watch her fix strands of her hair with her fingers, she's indeed like a fox that would pounce any time. Even with the bursting hormones
consuming your whole body like a meat boiling in a large bowl, you still knew what's right and what's wrong. You turn back and decided to leave in effort to avoid any problems or maybe scenes that might risk your whole stay again in this country.

"Yah." She raised her voice as you turn your back at her. You take a quick glance at her where she crosses her legs as she wears a teasing smile. "Tell your American girlfriend come visit us again, my members surely misses her so much as I do.  And you? Hopefully you come visit my house again, surely the corner of my room misses you again."

You continue your way to the door and pretended not to hear that.
