Falling For A Single Mother KTH FF ✔️

Chapter 8

Y/N's P.O.V.

"Leave it here, please." I halt at the threshold of the door, taking in the absolute mess of the supposed office in front of me. A wall length wooden almirah is perched up against the left wall, where as on the opposite side is a floor to ceiling glass window giving the serene view of the blooming and glowing flowers in the garden under the moonlight. A large maghony table placed in the middle, its surface lost amidst the empty cups, bottles of water and numerous file.

I am amazed how he managed enough space to have his mac in front of him alongside the keyboard. The L shaped sofa displaced and almost beside the table while the front two chairs of the table placed directly in front of the window, I suppose a way to relax or just to get away from the view of over-flowing documents.

"Mom-" My breath hitch when he lifts his head, brown orbs clashing with chocolate ones.

"Y/N?" He blinks, not once but twice and then stands up abrupty, startling me. My eyes rake down his figure, midnight locks falling haphazardly on his forehead, light bags adoring his eyes, pink dull lips having lost their shine, white shirt untucked and wrinkled pairing with black slacks which appear to have same fate as its partner.

"H-hey. Mrs. Kim said you asked for a shake." I step forward, my nervous gaze wandering from his stuck expression to the floor. Gripping the tray to gain some strenght under his unwavering gaze, I finally manage to reach the table and place the glass of shake on it.

"What are you doing here?"

"Excuse me?" I think I heard it wrong, did he ask me what I am doing here? Clearing my throat, I add once again.

"I brought you the milkshake, you asked Mrs. Kim for it?" My statement comes out more of a querry. My legs shuffle as he continues to stare, his lips parting but closing the second after.

Was I not supposed to come-

"No, No.. I mean what are you doing at my house Y/N?" My heart drops at his question, didn't Jungkook say..

"Jungkook said you had some d-documents which I need to edit." He turns around, letting out a harsh sigh and raking his right hand through his wavy locks, while left hand rests up on his waist.

"W-was I not the one you n-needed?" I flinch when he promptly turns around, his suprised orbs settling on me as he shakes his head.

"Yes- No- I mean I needed you to go over the documents but-" He pause, his jaw clenches and then he takes a second before continuing.

"Sorry, It just slipped from my mind. I didn't think you would say yes. Mrs. Shin mentioned that she had to leave early so I thought you might not make it." My contracted shoulder muscles relax and a easy smile slip on face, my fidgeting fingers coming to halt as well.

"It's fine. I thought Jungkook tricked me. I brought Voni along, Jungkook said Mrs. Kim-"

"She's here?" He cuts me off with a wide grin, the shine of eyes returning at her name. Chuckling at his impatient self, I nod. The familiar warmth spreading inside my chest at his concern.

"Can I go meet her?" He pauses after taking a step ahead. Amused I take in his almost flurried state.

"Ofcourse-" he nods and takes another step forward "-but I think you should have your drink first, fix your appearance a little bit? You look fine - as fine as you can after being huddled up in a room from past 3 days- but she might ask you lot more questions if you meet her like this." It's a mystery how this man can make me shiver in my shoes in one second and let me be the most comfortable person in the next one.

"Right. I will just drink this." And he does, gulping down the whole shake in one go, my eyes betraying and gliding across his bobbing adam apple.

"I will go to my room first, freshen up and then meet her." He mutters more to himself, tongue peaking inbetween his lips to swipe the stray drop of milk.
