"The cheek of that woman!" Mrs. Kim exclaim, as her eyebrows knitting together as she expressed her feelings towards Irene. "How was she even allowed there after what she put you through with her father?"

It was the best morning and all of us were at the dining table having breakfast. Taehyung rubs the sleep off his eyes and let out a yawn. "i don't know, I didn't think she'd go that far" he muttered.

"Well, she disrespected out father's name one last time" Jennie adds, coming down the stairs with Somin awake in her arms. Taehyung reaches for her and Jennie allows him to take Somin. "Mom and I absolutely hate her!" She finishes with not so good looking expression.

"And it takes so much fur me to hate someone more than her" Mrs. Kim agreed. "But enough about that woman, how was it?" She asks, looking to me.

"It was... interesting. Very luxurious, something I'm not used to" I reply with a lift amusement.

"Well, you might have to get used to it if you keep Taehyung's company. Something tells me he'll keep surprising you" Mrs. Kim winks at me to which Taehyung clear his throat at his mother.

"I think it's time for us to left" Taehyung utters, standing up with Somin in his arms. I caress her soft cheek before Mrs. Kim takes her from him.

"Already huh?" She ask, as it turn to be a whisper, a hint that she wasn't pleasing with our leaving back to Korea.

"Yes Mom, We don't want to miss our flight" Taehyung replies.

"Will you be coming back to celebrate Eun-ju's birthday here?"

"More than likely" He said. "But I've got the thing to do first" Mrs. Kim mouths and 'O' and nods. "Remember to call me if you need anything"

We nodded, and after we bidding our goodbye's and getting the kids out of bed. Taehyung and I are driving away in the rental to the airport where we arrive just in time for our flight.

"What thing do you have to do?" I finally asks him. Eun-ju and Eunji were focused on a movie on their iPad while Jinho was asleep.

Taehyung looks away from his emails on his laptop and stare at me. "Just something I need to handle at work. I don't want to bore you. You should rest" He said giving me a smile before pecking my lips and returning to his screen.

A WEEK LATER

Another week flew by and Taehyung has been more busy then he's even been at work. He often stays late, the latest he's stayed was untill four in the morning. He has called to let me know he was going to be staying in the room he had in his office where he owned a shower too.

To say I was suspicious of the whole thing was an understatement. Then again, he was CEO of multiple companies and I didn't want to come off as a paranoid girlfriend. I figured he didn't need anymore stress and we were both adults and knew what we were doing.

But still, something in my mind told me to be just a bit cautious on wether he was lying or not. But I always almost brushed those thoughts off finding Taehyung in his office with his secretary out of my mind.

In the abbreviation words of Jennie: he's an older man with kids and doesn't have time to fuck around.

All i could do was hope those words were true.

"Jisoo, can you come here please?" I hear Taehyung's voice called out for my name as I came back from my thoughts, walking to where Taehyung was.

"What is it?" I muttered, taking a seat on the edge of his desk. Taehyung glances at the ripped parts of my jeans and plays with the loose strings.

"Did I not pay you enough to buy you a new jeans?" He jokes making me roll my eyes.

"Which reminds me, you're about ten months too late on my paycheck" I joke back causing him to chuckle upon my words before his demeanor chances again to being serious. "What's the matter that you call me here?"

"I've got some business in Kingston that I've to attend to this week" he says putting a strand hair behind my ear. "The building is new, and seeing as I'm the primary investor of the franchise, I have to be there for the inaugural event" He explains.

The paranoid in me was longing and clawing to show myself but I fought it. "Do you have to?" I ask with a pout and watch as he smiles, touching my lips with his thumb.

"I do. And I want you to come with me" As soon as he says this, I visibly become relief. The paranoid part of me fading as Taehyung waited for my answer.

"Are you sure? I mean, I wouldn't want to intrude in your job" I say and mean it. The,lady thing I'd want him to di us be distracted by me being there with him.

He smiles and caressed my knuckles. "Of course I'm sure, it'd being me joy to have you there with me. You'd making my job a bit more tolerable" he said winking.

"And what about the kids?" I asks.

"I already went ahead and asked their grandmother if she could watch them. Well, more like she offered herself to take care of them and since the kids enjoy being with her, I thought why not?" He says, making me to sit up straight.

Of course their grandma would offer to take care of the kids, she loves them like if they were her own. "So you assumed I had nothing better to do?" I challenge with a smirk and a raise if my eyebrows.

Taehyung gives me a look which tells me he knows me better than myself. "You live with me, baby. Might as well stop complaining and go pack your bags"

"Is that an order?" I cross my arms as he leans back on his chair, toying with a pen in his hand.

"I mean, I do recall being your boss" he shrugs making me giggle at that.

"What am I going to be doing there?" I asks, we are currently on the plane flying to Kingston.

"You just worry about sitting there looking pretty, though I'm sure that won't be a problem" Taehyung mutter. "And leave the rest to me" he adds, before going back to forwarding receive and sending emails in his laptop.

I figured the flight would be long, I decided on quietly choosing a movie on the small TV our part of the plane offered and watched it with my headphones in to not disturb anyone.

I ended up falling back asleep and after what can't like forever, the flight attendant reminded us that we'd be landing shortly. I make it my job to shake Taehyung awake, I found it hard at times to get him to wake up because he valued his sleep, just as much as he valued his job and his kids.

After about three minutes of trying and failing, Taehyung finally opened an eye before he rubbed them both and stretched in his seat, letting out a yawn. "You sleep like a king" I commented as I stand up to grab my luggage.

We grab a cab and fight the sleep in the car, considering it was already five in the morning when the plane had landing off. I wanted nothing more than to just get to the hotel and sleep as much as I could. "I've got a meeting in two hours" Taehyung rasps out, rubbing the sleep off his eyes.

"We're almost there, air" the driver announced reassuring and Taehyung thanks him. Five minutes later, we're taking the elevator to our room. I was much too tired to look around and explore so I told myself I'do it in the morning.

"Forty hours plane ride" Taehyung groans,braking his shoes off and leaving his suitcase by the entrance of the hotel room. I lock the door and turn to see him sprawled on the bed. "Come to bed, baby!"

I giggle at the pet babe as he slurred words but walk to the bed regardless. "You're sleeping in that clothes?" I ask and he nods.

"I don't care if I look unprofessional, I'm only too tired to do so" he mumbles closing his eyes.

"That's still a something to look presentable for" I point out as he groans.

"I'll shower in the morning" he slurs and when his breathing picks up, I can tell he's asleep. I quickly take off my makeup and change into shorts and an a long t-shirt before getting into bed next to him, quickly falling asleep.
