Chapter 7

In the upcoming weeks, your life took a turn. You were enjoying working with Hyuna. Namjoon was becoming a friend you always wanted but never got. Hyuna had made you two into a team with a few other interns and working with Namjoon was a treat.

On the other hand, your relationship with Taehyung was getting better each day. He was becoming more observant towards your words and actions and was trying new things to win you over. Going on morning walks with you and treating you with ice-cream after dinner. He was becoming a better husband.

He would sometimes come back early from the office and pick you up from your workplace. He would also drop you off on some mornings and occasionally send you flowers during the day. 

A week after your first date with him, you two were invited to your in-laws house again for a family dinner. Taehyung's aunt's were visiting and so you had to go too. After the dinner, your mother-in-law took you out to her little garden to show you a few new plants she's planted.

Taehyung saw you admiring the garden and enjoying among flowers and so, after a few days, he appointed a gardener and made a small lawn in his house as well. 

When you got back from work one evening, you saw a newly made garden with small rows fenced around. Taehyung was in the living room looking through various websites about flowers. 

"What's all that?" You asked once you entered the house. 

"Oh that! I figured you liked flowers and gardens so I made one for you here. You can grow as many flowers here as you want" that was very thoughtful of him because you've always wanted a garden of your own. You loved flowers and that gesture from him was everything you could ever ask for. 

"Thank you so much Taehyung" you excitedly hugged him a little too fast for either of you and it shook him for a second. But then he relaxed and wrapped his arms around you in return. "This means so much to me. Thank you" you thanked him again and then realized what you're doing and where your hands and face was before you drew yourself away from him, flushed. He was blushing red as well. 

"Oh it's nothing. Umm… I hope you like it" he stuttered, nervous with your actions. " Uh- I.. see you at dinner" and he marched back to his own room, stuttering the last words. You fanned your face once he was out of sight and sat down on the couch half regretting your choice of action. 

And that's how you ended up having a small garden all to yourself in addition to your favorite job. Life was treating you better than always. But like they say, happiness gets the evil eye very quickly. 

Because just after a few weeks, things started turning edgy. At first you didn't quite pay any attention to them but soon it became evident that things weren't right. Taehyung insisted on dropping you off since he had a meeting out of the city the following day and you didn't decline the offer. 

Namjoon was waiting for you at your desk when you entered the office after Taehyung left. He had a pile of files with him, some of which looked old and some looked new. 

"Good morning Namjoon. What are all these?" You asked once you were settled. 

"My designs. I've been working on these for a few years and now that I've seen your work, I think these would be quite useful for our firm if I get to finish them with you" he placed the files on your desk. He started showing you different designs and honestly, some of them were so good to be developed into a high fashion brand while a few needed polishing. 

"These are great!" You said, admiring each one of his works. He didn't say anything and kept looking at you flipping through the pages. Once you're done looking at around 4 files, Namjoon said "Is your driver going to pick you up as well?"
