Enchanted to Meet You

Part:7

"SAME DAY:AT NIGHT"

(A/n:Tae stepped out of the bathroom, steam still trailing behind him after a long, hot shower.. Yet, even the soothing water couldn’t wash away the frustration churning inside him.. He still couldn’t wrap his mind around what had happened earlier.. It was something he never, in his wildest dreams, thought would happen...

Jiya—sweet, innocent Jiya, the cute little kid he’d always seen as nothing more than that—had confessed her feelings to him.. He had always been so indifferent to those love letters, brushing them off without a second thought.. But when he realized who the sender was, it was as if the ground had been pulled out from under him.. Now, he sat on the edge of his bed, his mind a whirl of confusion, his eyes staring blankly at the floor, trying to make sense of it all...)

Tae:This is crazy.. How did this kid have a gut to give me a proposal like this..? Kids are crazy nowadays.. I really thought she was a cute little shy kid.. But...

Wait.. no.. she isn't cute.. not shy and not little at all.. she isn't adorable either..(His cheeks became red.. He was blushing unknowingly..)

Come on,Taejun,don't think about her.. It's nothing.. She will eventually forget me.. I will behave coldly with her when she comes to me.. So, eventually, she will lose interest in me.. (He sighed deeply)

Let's not think about it.. All gonna be fine.. I am so tired just talking with that kid.. Aish.. She talks a lot.. Like a chatterbox.. But in the previous two days,she barely talked.. She was a really shy type while talking.. What just happened to her..

Aaaggghhh.. Shut up, Tae.. Just stop thinking about her.. She is just a damn kid... A damn stupid teenage girl.. A clueless kid.. She.... FUCK YOU,TAE..
(He grabbed his hair tightly in frustration)

(A/n:The next day, Tae sat in his office, but his mind wasn’t on work.. No matter how hard he tried to focus, Jiya’s words kept echoing in his head, filling every quiet moment.. He couldn’t stop wondering—would she really follow through? Would Jiya actually try to court him, just as she had said? And what would that even look like?

As the hours slipped by, Tae realized the entire day had passed, yet his thoughts hadn’t shifted.. He felt a strange mix of relief and confusion that Jiya hadn’t shown up at the office or made any moves.. Part of him was glad, thinking maybe it had been just a passing moment for her.. But another part, a part he didn’t quite understand, felt unsettled.. Was he expecting her to do something? Was he actually waiting for her? The questions gnawed at him, leaving him more conflicted than ever..)

"NEXT DAY:OUTSIDE THE KIM. CORPORATION BUILDING"

(A/n:Tae had been swamped with work all day, his mind buried under meetings, calls, and endless paperwork.. By the time he finally wrapped up his hectic schedule, it was already late, and he was exhausted... He headed out of the building, his footsteps slow and heavy as he made his way toward his car..

But just as he reached for the car door, he froze.. Suddenly, there was a sound—a soft rustle…)

Jiya:(Literally jumped in front of him)
HELLO,AHJUSSI..(Smiling cutely)

Tae:WTF... (He really got scared cause of her sudden outburst..)

Jiya:Ahjussi,you shouldn't curse in front of a kid... Right?(showing puppy eyes..)

Tae:I...(He maintained his poker face)
What are you doing here..?

Jiya:Wae,aren't you happy to see me here?
