A MAN TO HONOR

chapter fourteen

Taehyung

My throat goes dry, no matter the answer I would give her, she will ask more and more questions

Even If I say a friend

She will retaliate, what friend? Do I know her? Why are you sending her flowers?

My brain makes a fast equation, and honestly the only name I can say without my mother asking further questions is...

" Dae-Kyeong " I reply as natural as my lie could allow me

She looks a bit surprised for a few seconds but a big smile grows on her face

" Really? "

" Yeah, I mean...she invited me to dinner , I wanted to thank her that way "

Her smile widens

" Did you two had a great night together? " She asks

" Yes...it was a good night " I respond, impassive

She pats my back

" That's great, you know how I love seeing you two being together, I missed your little duo running in the yard when you were younger, that was such a good era " she says

" Humm... definitely ! "

" I'm going for a walk, are you coming with me ? "

" Oh no no, I still have some work to get done, maybe later "

She smiles at me

" Fine "

She walks away and I exhale, relieved

I call my secretary again so she can take care of that second bouquet of flowers that I didn't plan to send today

For years, living in this house never felt stifling because I was used to my mother's behavior and her intrusive nature

But now that I'm really experiencing something new with Kailah

I kinda want my privacy

Like... imagine my mom came in the middle of the night to knock on my door while I was lying on my back jerking off and Kailah was moaning into the phone with her sexy voice

I mean...my mother would have passed out seeing me in that position.

I chuckle as I walk to my personal office in the house

I think I should really add yesterday night on the list of the craziest things I've done in my life

Kailah

I am awakened by the gentle rays of sunlight filtering through my glass window... I love waking up here, the calm sound of the morning, the birds chirping, the sound of the foliage dancing under the caress of the morning wind, and the horses braying in the distance in the stables... that's the kind of wake-up call I like

I would have happily spent another hour in my bed, but I have work to do today, so after a long stretch I leave my beloved bed

I smile slightly while brushing my teeth in the bathroom as the simple thought of Taehyung moaning through the phone yesterday night

He is such a...

I stop smiling when I realize I was smiling a little too much for my liking

I then go to the kitchen, looking for eggs to boil when my doorbell rings

I glance at the big vintage clock hanging on the wall

Who would come here this early?

I mumble a curse while I walk towards the door
