Chapter: THIRTY ONE

Yunhee has been completely ignoring Taehyung for the last few weeks. They did have to face each other a lot as they worked in the same office, but whenever he tried to talk to her about anything other than work, she would just run away, shutting him down entirely. Her acts were driving Taehyung to the point of desperation. She'd become his habit. Now, the distance between them was wearing him down.

Yunhee, on the other hand, was perfectly normal and cheerful. She was smitten with Jungkook. Their relationship was thriving. The romance was blooming. The sex was overwhelmingly amazing. Over time, they developed a full-blown addiction to one another. They fell head over heels for one other.

Everything was going so well lately that it scared her at times. Despite her happiness, she was bothered by a few things all the time. She was hell bent on finding out what jin was hiding and it wasn't that he was seeing someone, but something else. She was sure he was hiding something else from her.

It was another hectic day at Kim Enterprise. As she moves toward the elevator, her shoes clatter against the marble pavement. Just as the elevator door was about to close, someone's hand stopped it. Her eyes shifted to the person, and the face caused her insides to churn anxiously for unknown reasons.

As Taehyung stepped in, she moved aside, maintaining a mile-long gap. The elevator began to move, there was an uneasy pause between the two before Taehyung broke it. 'You're late today.' She thought for a bit before responding, 'There was traffic', without looking at him.

He sighed and twisted his lips, seeing her ignore him once more. 'So? How long is this gonna continue?'

'What?' she asked, a little bewildered.

'You. Ignoring me. Acting as if I don't exist.'
Her eyes whirled to look at him with a frown.

'It's very obvious. So don't try to act normal; rather, just answer the question.' He spoke before she could say anything. She breathed nervously under his stare. 'I don't want to answer.' She replied, her gaze shifting away from his.

He smirked inside, knowing exactly this was coming and what he needed to do. He texted someone, then waited.
The elevator shook violently and stopped in a matter of seconds, causing Yunhee to tightly grip his arms to prevent falling. The lights flickered out. Only their labored breathing could be heard.

'Are you okay?' Taehyung questioned, flicking on the flash on his phone. Her eyes snapped wide, and she stepped away from him. 'What in the world just happened?' Her panicked eyes darted around.

'The elevator stopped. It might be a technical problem.' He spoke in casual tone. 'What??' She gasped in horror. 'And you're saying this so normally??'

He shrugged his shoulders lazily. 'Chill. It'll be fixed soon.'

'How are you so sure about that? No one knows we are stuck here! What if they didn't notice the elevator had stopped? And you're...you're just standing here like a statue! Not even trying to contact anyone!' She barked furiously.

He scratched his ears and grimaced. 'Ms. Yunhee, I had no idea you could be that loud!'

She scowled at his absurd behavior. 'I can be even louder Mr. Kim! Now you-

'Really?' His eyes strayed to her and he smirked. 'And may I know what makes you scream louder?'

She caught the hint of mischief in his tone right away, and clinched her teeth before her jaw could drop to the ground. Without saying anything further, she took her phone from her bag and went through the contacts. He instantly snatched the phone from her making her stunned. 'Hey!! What the hell are you doing??'
