Red petal || KTH

*PART 22*

Taehyung was waiting outside the mansion and saw Sana coming out, looking every bit the boss lady. His heart pounded as he pulled down his shades and muttered, "Looks like she's bossing my heart. Even my heart beats within her actions."

Sana stopped as she reached him and said, "Shall we go?"

Taehyung raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where's Salman?"

"He took a leave since his wedding is around the corner," Sana replied.

Taehyung sighed, ran his fingers through his hair, and asked, "Am I a joke to him? Did he really take me as his personal bodyguard instead of his boss?"

Sana took out a wedding invitation, placed it against Taehyung's chest, and said, "Don't blabber. Here's the invitation for the wedding, and he has already emailed you about his leave." Then she walked to the passenger seat.

Taehyung chuckled, seeing her acting all cold and boss-like. He adjusted into the driver's seat, glanced at Sana, who was completely ignoring him, and smirked as he started the car and drove away.

After a while, Taehyung pulled his car in front of a café, walked out, and opened the door for Sana. Sana looked around in confusion and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Taehyung leaned closer and said, "Let's have a chocolate mousse, red petal."

Sana clenched her hand and replied, "I'm here for work, not to have a sweet date with you."

Taehyung chuckled and said, "I didn't say it was a date, red petal. But you guessed it because you got the same feeling."

Sana rolled her eyes and responded, "You're being extra delusional today."

Taehyung cleared his throat and asked, "Will you come, or should I act according to rule number three?"

Sana stared at him and said, "Don't you dare break my boundaries." She got out of the car and walked ahead. Taehyung smiled and said, "I won't if you don't violate rules number one and two."

Sana sighed and said, "Now you're threatening me? Don't make me regret signing the contract, Mr. Kim."

Taehyung felt a strange feeling hearing her call him Mr. Kim. He smiled and said, "You won't regret it until my last breath, my red petal."

Sana's heart beat faster at his indirect confession. She avoided his gaze, looked inside the café, and asked, "Now tell me, why did you bring me here?"

Taehyung sighed and said, "First, let's go inside and talk." Sana took a deep breath and walked into the café, with Taehyung following her. As she took a seat, Taehyung sat at the same table.

"Now can you tell me why we're here?" Sana asked.

Taehyung ignored her question and called the waiter, "Hey, can I place an order?" The waiter approached them, and Taehyung ordered, "I want a hot chocolate and for her, a chocolate mousse."

Sana rolled her eyes at him and turned away. Then she noticed the waiter and looked around.

She noticed the table reserved for the handicapped and the corresponding notice board.

As the waiter left, Taehyung looked at her and asked, "So, do you remember this place now?"

Sana widened her eyes. "I remember, but why did you bring me here?"

Taehyung playfully placed his hand on his chest and said, "Ouch, that hurts! How can you ask that, knowing this is where we first met?"

Sana covered her mouth, remembering their first encounter at the café—when she had embarrassed herself by sitting at the handicapped table and later bumping into him. Taehyung chuckled at her expression and said, "I bought this place."
