The two were back at normal and Nichole was more than happy that her incident didn't affect them. If anything, it made them closer to one another. Yeah, they still bickered, but they took photos and ate food. Photography and food was their thing, as they said. Nichole felt something for Taehyung but she was sure that it was going to go away, or if it was a phase. Nichole was more than positive that she didn't want to be in a relationship, Nichole just had a high rate of admiration for Taehyung.

A few weeks after continuing to take photos, some for fun, there was one that was memorable. They went to an indoor botanical garden during their thirty-minute break and they had a food time. Taehyung kept sneaking pictures of Nichole with his phone of Nichole staring at the flowers, they got too distracted. Nichole and Taehyung learned about almost half of the plants and flowers there until Nichole checked her phone. Nichole took countless shots of him, somewhere he wasn't even aware that she was. Once she saw that it was fifteen minutes late, she grabbed onto Taehyung. "We're late, Taehyung!"

Taehyung's head snapped towards her and he mentally cursed, "Shit, I forgot! Let's pay and go." The truth was Taehyung didn't forget, he knew that they were passing time when he was looking back at pictures he took of Nichole. He was just having too much fun and once Raina suggested that they would go here, he knew that he'd want to stay forever.

"Boss is gonna be on my ass," Nichole groaned after the paid and was already in the car on their way back, "Taehyung, I see a smile forming on your face. Shut up!"

"What?" Taehyung chuckled which Nichole hated because it made her feel something that was never thought she'd feel. "I didn't say a thing."

Nichole's eyes went from his eyes on the road to his lips that were curving into a smirk, "I had fun, I gotta thank Raina."

"You had too much fun." Nichole commented when she finally looked somewhere else. "I captured so many off guards of you, staring at some flowers. Corny, but cute shots."

"Ah, whatever."

As if things couldn't get better, the traffic was way busier than usual. Nichole hated showing up late because everyone's attention would be on her and she was right. When Taehyung and Nichole walked in, eyes were on them and the boss looked visibly upset. Nichole was expecting to get screamed on but she didn't.

"We thought you guys had gotten into a car accident or something," Mina exhaled before walking towards us, "we got a new permanent model here and she's claiming she knows you, Taehyung."

"He knows a lot of models." Nichole said low enough for only the three of them to hear. Taehyung playfully pushed her shoulder before drawing his attention back to Mina. Taehyung was really notorious for dating models and he wouldn't deny that.

"What's her name?" Taehyung asked nervously, the last thing he needed was drama.

Mina looked up to try to remember the name but she still struggled, "I just remember her last name honestly. Her last name is Rogers—"

"— Selena!" Taehyung immediately blurted out which had Nichole's eyes wider than she thought they can go. "Where is she?"

"In the break room," Mina shared with a little laugh, "want me to take you to her?"

"That'll be nice," Taehyung responded with a smile then he turned his attention to Nichole who was listening to this attentively, "I'm going to meet you in the kitchen, Nichole."

Nichole just nodded before giving his arm a light tap and walked off into the kitchen. It didn't take long for Taehyung to meet her there but this time with a girl by his side. If Nichole was into girls, the model would have to be her type.
