Chapter 15
"w-what do you mean?" I ask him nervously as I peer over Taes shoulder
"I've seen how you guys are around each other, are you guys dating?"
"WHAT?!" Tae says loudly as I viciously shake my head in denial.
"Then what exactly was that?" he gives a pointed look about the exchange we just had with my poor co-worker.
"T-that was me" Tae scratches his head as a sheepish blush covers his cheeks at what he had just done "me protecting Ro from a guy..."
I sigh at his lame excuse because what he did was a bit much.
"oh, come on Tae, we all know how Lee is... He would never do anything to harm anyone and what you did can be taken the wrong way" Rapmonster crosses his arms as he becomes exasperated at his younger teammates behavior. If the fans ever saw how attached Taehyung was to someone as pretty as Rose, everything would explode and he couldn't help but worry over his young publicist as she would suffer the most from it.
"I'm sorry NamJoon" I say to him, his face looked strained and I cannot help but feel it is my fault for Tae's behavior. Although I can't help but wonder if anyone could ever control Tae's actions.
"I'm sorry too" Tae looks apologetic for his behavior and seems to really regret what happened with Lee and knew he had to apologize for his behavior the next time he would see him.
Rapmonster starts the elevator once again and they head to the floor with the different conference rooms and all walk together to the room for their meeting with the publicist team. Everyone was there and I go to sit next to Lee, he shoots me a concerned and questioning look at the fact that we arrived after him considering we were all on the elevator. I give him a reassuring smile that says I will tell him later and he starts the meeting.
After the meeting, I am putting away my paperwork and look down at my phone and am shocked by how late it was. I needed to get home to feed the babies and call my sister for our weekly facetime. Standing, I pull on my bag and walk over to Lee who is talking with the members and their manager. I arrive to the boys being told that they had the day off tomorrow before they started their holiday tour. Waiting till he pulls away and tell him I am leaving for the night.
"okay, hope you have a good night Rose and I am giving you the day off tomorrow as well as we worked hard this past month and we both deserve a good rest before the tour starts. I hope you plan to continue your work here as I know your contract was on a loan from your company back in the states"
"I am thinking about it, as I do love my work here so far. I just miss my family so much every day and I was promised a good position in my company when I finished this contract..." I was sad about the fact that my time here is almost up, but I have another five months before I need to make the decision on whether I should stay here or take the position at the company I was originally trained with. It was my dream job working here and I was proud that because of this opportunity my company would hire me into a higher-up position. I could be lead publicist for one of the bigger groups and be able to be with my sister and her family more.
Smiling at Lee, I leave the conference room and make my way to the elevator. Going down, I let my thoughts wonder as I plug my headphones into my phone and I turn on Spotify to my walking home playlist. I have a lot of major decisions to make as that I need to decide if I want to stay on the contract with big hit and permanently live here, or do I go home to a possible major position change. If you asked me a month ago, I would immediately say what my decision would be. The problem is, I feel this need to stay here but I don't know why. I have become frustrated with this tug-a-war of decisions, that I cannot wait for the holidays as I planned to fly home to visit my sister for Christmas. I only had about a month and a half till then and I already reserved my airplane ticket.
Smiling at the crisp air, I arrive to the steps that lead to my apartment and ride the elevator up. Walking to the door of my apartment, I enter the code to my door and enter into the warmth of my home. Kicking off my shoes and dropping my purse by the front door, I walk down the hallway to where I can hear the sounds of whining of my puppy and enter his playpen area where I pick him up and ruffle his fur.
"Hello little V. Were you a good puppy today?" I get a lick on the nose and immediately he starts to wiggle to be let down. Setting him down, I open the playpen and immediately he goes to run off to find his kitty sibling. I go to the kitchen where I get their food prepared and as I pour the food into their bowls, I hear the scamper of paws on the floor as they both round into the kitchen. Laughing at their excitement over food, I put the bowls onto the floor and go to the living room where I turn on my tv on low as I put on some music. Turning, I start to plug in my Christmas decorations. I put these up the day after Halloween as it is my favorite holiday. Smiling, I decide to put on comfy clothing and go down the hall to my bedroom. As I am putting on some Christmas pajama shorts and a loose fitting white sweater, I can hear the ringing of my doorbell.
Curious as to who could be visiting this late, I head down the hallway and turn on the screen that shows who is waiting outside. Seeing a familiar panda hat and fake glasses, I immediately go to let him in.
Opening the door, I rush out and grab his arm and drag him into my apartment and close the door. Locking the door, I turn to yell at him for coming to visit me unexpectedly and how he should worry about the possibility of a fan misreading the situation, but instead I am pulled into his arms into a tight grip.
My nose is pressed into his neck and I smell the traces of his cologne. Shocked by his actions, that I stay there in his embrace.
"T-Tae?" I whisper out against his skin.
Instead of answering me, he just tightens his hold on me further and pushes my back into the wall. Not sure as to why he seemed upset, I instead wrap my arms around him where I feel his back trembling.
"Are you going to leave?" his deep voice whispers into my ear. I feel a shiver run down my spine and goosebumps pop up along my skin.
"What are you talking about?" I was confused by his question.
"I heard your conversation with Lee, that when your contract ends that you will leave..."
"oh..." is all I can really say because it is true, that when my contract ends I will be leaving. He pulls back from me and puts his hands on my shoulders, pushing me flat against the wall. He looks into my eyes and I see that there is sadness but as well as something else I have not seen before.
"You can't leave..." he inches closer to me until there is little space between our faces "you can't...leave me..." when he says that, he leans in until I feel the press of his plump lips come into contact with mine. His arms wind around my waist and pushes our bodies together.
At first, I don't do anything but sit in shock at what he is doing, at least I don't do anything tell he whispers my name against my lips. Then my arms are wrapping around his neck and I am pressing closer to him, craving the need to be closer to him. He picks me up and wraps my legs around his waist, then I feel him moving down the hallways till I feel him place me down on something.
He releases my lips and I see that we are in my bedroom now. Watching him, I see he is watching me as he pulls off his sweatshirt. I can't help but gap at him as I see his light tan skin over lean muscles. Looking up into his face, I see that for once he isn't smiling, that he isn't joking, that he is serious. My heart seemed to practically leap out of my chest and I try to gulp down the sudden feeling welling in my chest.
"Ro, if you don't tell me to stop, I won't be able to" his deep gravelly voice reaches me as he walks closer to me.
Looking up into his eyes, I know that what I am about to say will change many things, but I knew that this was what I wanted. There was no going back, and I don't want to go back now.
"Don't stop" I whisper out as he covers my body with his.
