The Billionaire's Sunshine |BOOK 1|

CHAPTER 7

                                 Bo-Hyun

The following day passed really quick. I was waiting for Jaehyun all day and he informed me he would bring taehyung. I had to pick Sooyoung before I could attend the event.

Sooyoung was my date for most of the events i needed to attend. She models for a brand clothing company, since our first interaction we came to a contract deal where she would be my date for events and I'll pay her more than her modeling campaigns, that she wouldn't need to work at all. But regardless, she still continues to model for them.

There were several rumours about us getting together. But knowing Sooyoung she doesn't give a damn. She's so use to having contreversies about her since she's famously known for her beauty and talent. Despite that, I wish i could have brought Jisoo with me tonight instead of somebody else.

It's been only a day, and I'm missing her so much. I'm so use to watch her throughout the day that not seeing her makes me want to call her.But I can't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stood at the entrance of the elegant venue. Awaiting Jaehyun's arrival. As the cameras flashed and the crowd buzzed with excitement, my thoughts were preoccupied with the hope of finishing my business here and return to seoul as soon as I could.

Finally, Jaehyun's car pulled up and both my brother's came out dressed impeccably ,in tailored suits. I frowned in confusion when he held forward his hand. He did not tell me he was bringing a date. My heart skipped a beat when i saw her.

Jisoo held his hand and gracefully stepped out of the vehicle. I felt lightheaded, she looked breathtaking in her shimmering gown, instantly captivating everyone around her with her presence. The cameras flashed nonstop.

Taehyung followed as another beautiful lady stepped out of the vehicle confidently. He closed the distance between each other and glued their hips together, his hand resting on her waist. Sooyoung beamed beside me when she realized she was not going to be alone.

I kept my face expressionless, but that doesn't seem to have fooled Jisoo. When she locked eyes with me, something glowed in her beautiful brown orb and it drove me crazy. Her gaze shifted, lowered to Sooyoung's arm that was hooked in mine. And traveled back up. I watched her as she assesed Sooyoung's face carefully.

Something flashed in her eyes for a fraction of second before it was nowhere to be found when i searched her face. She tightened her hold on Jaehyun's arm and thats all it took for a pang of jealousy to surge through me. My blood ran cold.

I tried to maintain my composure while we posed for pictures.Eventually, we were guided inside.
I clenched my jaw as we sat at out labeled table. Forcing myself to stay calm and collected, though my emotions were in turmoil. My mind running wild with unanswered questions.

Why was Jisoo with Jaehyun? He never said he would bring anyone or her. Jisoo was MY secretary for fuck's sake.
"Hyung!" Jeahyun approached, greeting me with a satisfied smile. And I smiled back pushing down the inner conflict I was experiencing. I was not jealous of my brother. I loved him.

"I would like to present my beautiful and shining date for the evening, Miss Kim Jisoo." he announced and Jisoo jokingly slapped his arm. Since when were they this close?

"But- but I would like to present to you the most beautiful girl in the entier event tonight as my date, Jennie Kim." Taehyung followed and jennie looked the other way, trying to hide a smile.

"Hi! I'm Sooyoung, Bo hyun's date." Sooyoung extended her hand across the table. I watched Jisoo as she hesitantly shook Sooyoung's hand and so did Jennie, nodding her head in acknowledgement.

The evening was beautiful and so was my brother's date. "Would you like to dance?" taehyung said holding his hand forward. "No, thank you." Jennie replied pressing her lips tightly. Taehyung slumped back in his chair and lowered his head, disappointement evident on his face. Jennie gently assesed his face with a concerned look but straightened her back when she realized she got caught.

After a while, I found myself standing alone by the bar, stealing glances at Jisoo from across the room. She looked radiant and everytime she laughed or smiled my heart skipped a beat. I wish I was the one making her smile but I couldn't allow my feelings interfere her happiness.

The night wore on, the music swelled, I watched as Jisoo accepted a dance invitation from another guest while Jaehyun was nowhere in the scene. Asshole. It's not like I could object, it's not like she's my girlfriend.

In an effort to distract myself, I engaged myself in a polite conversation with my own date Sooyoung. But I still couldn't shake the growing unease and jealousy bubbling inside of me. My jaw tightened when he pulled her closer to him, his hand resting on her waist.

Sooyoung continued telling me about her agency but my mind was consumed by the sight of Jisoo in another man's arms.

"You seem preoccupied, Bo hyun. Is something bothering you?" Sooyoung said teasingly. She must have sense the lack of contribution in the conversation.

I forced a smile, trying to keep my emotion in check. "Oh, it's nothing. Just enjoying the event." But Sooyoung seemed unconvinced. "It's Jisoo, isn't it? I can see the way you look at her. You two have quite the chemistry. She's been dancing with another man but her eyes are on you."
What am I that obvious?

I looked pass Sooyoung at Jisoo and shook my head lightly. "Jisoo is my secretary but I.."
"You like her" she finished my sentenced. she gave me a knowing smile and I decided to confide in her. "We've always have this strange connection, but I've never acted on it. Seeing her with Jaehyun tonight is stirring some kind of feelings I didn't think I had." I sighed.

Sooyoung nodded sympathetically. "It's not easy, but have you told her yet? What if she likes you back?" Before I could respond, I noticed that guy's hand gliding down Jisoo's back and I saw red. I beelined to the dancing couple, my heart pounding in my chest. Jisoo must have sense me approaching. I saw a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in her eyes.

"Get your hands off her. Now." I said through gritted teeth, a warning tone. Jisoo hesitated for a moment before stepping back when the man relased her.
