Chapter 1

"Hello Ms. Lancester! I'm calling to remind you about our school teacher party!"

"Oh, thank you for reminding me Mr. Kim! I'll be there around 7:30, I'm about to leave now,"

"Alright! And where something fancy, my son will be there and I'd like for you to meet him!"

"Yes sir, I'll see you guys there! Thank you!"

I hung up the phone and sighed. My boss has been trying to hook me up with his son ever since I started working as a teacher in his school. I have no idea why, but he never stops talking about him.

I checked myself in the mirror, I think this is good enough....
I was wearing a modest black dress, it was sleeveless and was slightly puffed out below the waist. My long dirty blonde hair was curled slightly and my makeup was lightly set up.

"Let go have fun!" I said to myself before walking out of my apartment door and rushing to the party. I was already late as it is.

After the horrid taxi ride, I walked a couple blocks before arriving to a big building.

I was lead into the main floor where the party was being held, which was flooded with people. I'm guessing most of the teachers brought their families. It was a little awkward because I was the youngest teacher who worked at Mr. Kim's school, so I constantly teased on for being a 'maknae'.

"Ella! I'm so glad you could make it!" Talking about my weird boss...

I bowed slightly and said hello. "Annyeonghaseyo Mr.Kim." He chuckled and patted my shoulder with one hand while the other held his champagne glass. "You're so formal for a foreigner, anyway, I'd like to introduce you to my son! Where is he..." He said, looking around. "Ah there he is! Taehyung!"

A boy around my age turned his head and came toward us with a little smile. He greeted his father and me before my boss introduced us to each other.

"Ella, this is my son Kim Taehyung! Taehyung this is my newest employee, Ella! You two have fun and socialize!" And with that my boss left us both standing here awakwardly.

I got to admit, his son was really good looking. His hair was a dark brown color and was messily styled, he looked so serious but I could be wrong. There's a sense of a childish feel about him.

He cleared his throat and gave a small smile. "U-uh I'll introduce myself since my father didn't do a good job...I'm Kim Taehyung, but I go by V or Taehyung...or Tae..." Taehyung laughed a little and scratched the back of his neck. His laugh was almost angelic...

A small grin broke out on my face and I nodded. "And I'm Ella...I just go by Ella..." He let out a small chuckle again at my slight bit of a joke and nodded towards a table. "Would you like to go sit down?" I nodded politely before he led me to an empty round table and pulled out a chair for me. "Gomabseubnida..." He gave me a full smile, which was the most adorable rectangle like smile that made me blush slightly as I sat down.

He sat down next to me and tried to start a conversation. "So...you teach here?"

I nodded, "Ne..."

His eyes brightened up like a 5 year old. "Chinja? But you look so young! How old are y- wait...mianhae for asking for your age..."

He's such a gentleman it hurts, but then at the same time, he acted like a little kid.

I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "It's okay, I'm 19...I only went to college for two years to be a preschool teacher." His features relaxed as he got the idea.

"Oh...so you're my age then!" Taehyung smiled in satisfaction before he looked confused again. "Wait...how do you know Korean so well?"

"My family moved here around 7 years ago from Canada, so I've learned the language well by now." I concluded, almost proud that I was fluent in two languages. "Wow...that must've been hard for you...culturally, that is"

"Mm ne, there was a bit of a culture shock, but I actually like Korea better than Canada..." I smiled to myself, looking back on my past.

"But enough about me, what about you? Are you in university?" I asked curiously, he may act wide open but he was really mysterious. "Ah...ne...I'm studying science..." He cleared his throat, he seemed a little...not excited about it?

"You don't like it do you?"

Aish I hated how I could read people so easily, and I shouldn't have brought it up...

Taehyung was thrown slightly off guard at my question, it took him a while to answer.

"It's not exactly what I want to be in the future, but I'm better off with it."

He seemed to be stern with his answer, and I was even more curious to see what he really did want to do but I decided to keep quiet.

"U-um.." He cleared his throat. "How about we go dance?"

I nodded at his suggestion and accepted his hand as I followed him to the dance floor.

We had so much fun just letting loose and dancing to pop songs. I even learned that his favorite genre was Korean trot music and hip hop, which was funny hearing him rap.

By the end of the night, he offered to walk me home. I tried to kindly turn his offer down but he, and even my boss, insisted that Taehyung would walk me home. I wasn't mad though, who wouldn't want to spend even more time with a guy like him?

We walked towards my apartment building, talking about the most random things and enjoying ourselves. I really wish I'd get to see him again...

"Ah...here it is..." I said, motioning toward the building I lived in these past few months. He nodded, slightly disappointed. "Alright...well it was nice meeting you!" Taehyung gave his big smile that I had already fallen f- you aren't falling for him!

I nodded my head slightly, before he bowed and started walking away.

I was about to open the doors to the building when I suddenly heard my name.

"Ella!" He came running back to the doors, panting slightly. I gave him a questioning look before he got out his phone. "I need your number..."

A soft giggle rose out of my throat, "You came back just for that?" He nodded vigorously and handed me his phone. I entered my number into his phone and handed it back to him.

I saw him furrow his brows before typing something into his phone. Then he smiled brightly and showed me his screen. "I changed your contact name!"

Cinderella~

I laughed a little, making him chuckle. "I love it...I'll see you sometime okay?"

Taehyung nodded once more before heading off to where ever he lived.

I smiled to myself as I rode up the elevator.

I'm so glad my boss is weird...
