Chapter Seven - Mistake

Taeyong doesn't kiss me back.

I pull away after a mere 2 seconds and walk over to the window.

"I'm sorry. I let my emotions take hold of me. I was vulnerable and I took advantage of you I'm sorry" I apologise.

"With all due respect, I'm here as your bodyguard Jaehyun. We can be nothing more then colleagues and friends." He speaks from behind me.

My hand shakes slightly as I glance at the bandage which has been wrapped around it ever so carefully.

"Maybe it would be best if we separated from each other for a while" I state suddenly.

Taeyong's breath catches before he speaks.
"What do you mean? I've been working for you for less then a week and your already suspending me?"

"I'm not suspending you" I turn to face him as I explain. "I'm suggesting that maybe instead of staying inside the office with me, you stay outside. Just little things like that."

"But you need someone on the inside to protect you. You have guards on the outside. That's basically suspending me." He frowns and I just take a deep breath.

"I'll be okay. Besides, it won't take you long to get inside if something does happen. Please Taeyong, I think this would be best."

"Best for you or best for me? Because it feels as though you are pushing me away because you want to lose your feelings for me" Taeyong snaps harshly.

I haven't seen him get angry with me before. I feel taken aback by it.

"It's got nothing to do with that."

"Of course. You just kissed me and now your suspending me. But it has nothing to do with the fact that I didn't kiss you back."

"Lee Taeyong!" I shout his name which causes him to quieten and lower his gaze from mine.

"I'll be right outside, Sir." He bows in a 90 degree angle before stepping outside there office, closing the door behind him.

Sighing in frustration I sit behind my desk and pull my hands through my hair.

God I'm an idiot. What part of me thought that it would be a good idea to kiss him?

We hardly know each other.

Besides I'm not going to fall in love with my bodyguard. That'd be absurd.

The phone on the desk begins to ring which startles me. Leaning forward, I answer it.

"Jaehyun?" A familiar male voice calls my name on the other end.

"Doyoung" I smile gently as I recognise who it is.

"Sorry I haven't checked in in a while. I've been busy. You know I just released my second mini album" I can hear the smile through his voice.

"Of course, I listened to it three times already. I love it and I'm so proud of you."

"Thank you. I appreciate your support. Though I am forever grateful to you for getting me into the company."

Doyoung is under a entertainment company which I am very close with the CEO as we see each other a lot in meetings.

He has always admired how young and smart I've been so far with this job.

I put in a good word for Doyoung before he went in to audition and of course he was accepted.

He didn't want to be under my label as he felt aid be pressured to give him a lot of comebacks and breaks and what not.

"Don't worry about it. I'm just glad you've been so successful."
