My heart skips a beat when I see Taehyung leaning against his car as he waits for me in front of my office building.
I pause for a moment and take him in. His dark hair, that sharp jaw, those green eyes that are identical to Lisa's. It isn't fair that he continues to get more handsome the older we get. Each time I see him, he feels a little more out of reach. Taehyung looks up and straightens when he notices me standing by the entrance, a smile transforming his face.
"Hi!" I tell him as he holds the door open for me. Taehyung grins at me, and I smile back at him.There's a good chance I'll regret giving into him later, but until then, I'm going to enjoy every second of it."Where are we going?" I ask when he gets in beside me, his hands wrapping around the steering wheel. Taehyung leans back against the headrest and tilts his face toward me.
"Jisoo," he says, sounding petulant. I can't help the way my heart races when he says my name like that, and I involuntarily turn toward him, facing him. "Why don't I ever see you anymore?"Taehyung genuinely looks distraught, as though he really has missed me, and that fire I keep trying to douse reignites once more.
"I've just been busy." My voice is weak, soft, as though I can't make myself lie to him with authority. "I'm working really insane hours. I've got so many modeling contracts, and I'm trying to grow my fashion brand at the same time. Honestly, some days I barely have time to eat or sleep."
He nods and drags his gaze away, a hint of concern in his expression as he starts the car. "Don't overwork yourself, Jisoo. Remember to take care of yourself, okay? You can't always be working. You need to have a social life too. When was the last time you saw your parents?"I force a smile onto my face and cross my arms.
The older I get, the less I see my parents. Their entire world revolves around Irene, and I hate going where I'm not welcome. I shouldn't feel excluded in my own home, but I do. "Lisa was actually just in my office," I tell him. "I do have friends, you know."
He glances at me the way he does sometimes, as though he can see straight through my lies and deception, but he nods nonetheless.
"What are you thinking of buying this year?" I ask him, my tone light and friendly.He glances back at me with a smile on his face. "What do you think of some jewelry, maybe?"I nod. "A new statement piece, perhaps?"Taehyung looks at me with such a blank expression that I burst out laughing, and that just makes him smile in return. "I haven't heard you laugh in so long, Jisoo. I missed it."My smile melts away and I look down at my lap, my heart aching.
I wish he wouldn't say things like that. He sees me as an old friend and his future brother-in-law, but when he tells me he missed me, it becomes hard to remember that. I tighten my grip on my handbag and inhale deeply. "A statement piece is basically just the opposite of a dainty piece of jewelry."
Taehyung grins at me. "How about I just let you pick?"
I throw a pointed look his way. "Like you do every year?"
