The Untold

XIV.

Author's POV

Y/N went out of her office, after a few hours of long meetings with international investors. Since her trip to Europe, that a lot of powerful rich men had started to reach her, since they'd finally been on her presence.

It was since the end of her parent's rule that she had not been in Italy and the investors had started to doubt their influence after the absence of the Leader on their territories. For years that those investors had started to back away and turn down new offers, but now that she had shown herself, the letters kept coming to the house and she didn't know how to act.

There were a lot of new deals to manage and she needed help.

Stepping through the hallway, she noticed a car outside, parked at the entrance of the house, making her frown. She wasn't expecting anyone, nor was planning on going anywhere that day.

Stepping  in the direction of the entrance hall, to check on what was happening, she found Taehyung coming down the stairs, with his dark leather bag on his left hand. Wearing some beige linen pants and a green polo, he stepped down to her level in a quick pace.

'Hey' she said as she watched him, attentively. Taehyung had always been mentioned as a very handsome male and it was impossible not to appreciate his beauty. He glanced at her, apparently sending a smile. Coming near her, she analysed him 'Are you going somewhere?'

'I told you I would' he simply said, with his low tone echoing around the marbled room.

She frowned 'Today?'

He nodded. She appeared unsure at first, but ended up shutting her eyes for some seconds and sigh 'Ok'

'I'll be back soon'

'Sure'

'Don't send anyone to follow me' he suddenly said, making her open her eyes and pay attention again. He looked at her with his dark orbs, deeply penetrating hers 'I won't be following you either'

She looked to the side, thinking. It was obvious she didn't enjoy what he was asking, so he stepped forward, to hold her hand and make it raised, so it be right in front of his mouth.

'You promised' he mumbled against the skin of her fingers, before he let a small peck on her pinky 'Remember?'

She turned her head to face him again, this time with softer eyes. Realising his words, she sighed again 'Ok'

He let go of her hand, turning his head to look at the car outside 'I must go'

She watched as he glanced at the driver, before he faced her again 'Be careful'

'You too' he said, before placing the bag on the floor, only to step forward and place his hand upon her waist. His head lowered and his other hand grabbed hers 'You know what to do right?' he whispered on her ear. She nodded 'Ok. Be careful. Find me if you need me' With that he left another peck behind her ear, stepped back and picked his bag, to go away, leaving her alone in the middle of the entrance hall.

Jungkook's POV

The hallway was silent as I stepped through it in the direction of Y/N's office. It was the first day I was back from being held hostage and I knew I needed to have a conversation with her before I started pretending again.

I wasn't sure how I felt about returning to my previous job, but I surely wasn't happy. I knew my place and I knew I had much more to give than being a simple bodyguard. Nevertheless, my main mission at that point was to find out more about Y/N's goal and why was she risking her life and her family's heritage by simply having me by her side.
