TAEHYUNG's POV

I look down at my phone and smile. Never have I ever seen such a beautiful woman. Believe me, I have seen quite a few and none of them have attracted me the way Areum does. I walk into the elevator. I press the button that leads to the penthouse. Looking up at the ceiling, I sigh. Biting down on my lip and groan. I'm so sure that Areum will be quite the handful. I don't mind the challenge, but what I do mind is this boy.

Areum who's that little friend of yours..

Clenching my fist, my knuckles turning white. This angers me. Never have I ever felt this way about someone. She seems to clouded my mind and I barely met this woman.

Ughh, darn you Areum.

The elevator doors open and I begin to walk inside the penthouse. Sighing, I plop myself on the couch. I look up at the ceiling and sigh again.

"You're in love, Taehyung."

I turn my head around and see Jin. I go back to the position I was in. He chuckles and walks on over. He sits next to me and pats my knee. Raising my eyebrow, I look at him.

"I just met her, hyung.."

He nods and smiles lightly.

"Love at first sight I guess.."

He shrugs his broad shoulders and chuckles. He leans to the coffee table and serves two cups with some liquor. He passes me the cup and I sip. He puts the cup up to his lips and takes all the liquid in.

"Thirsty much?" I laugh.
"Oh shut up." He laughs back.
"Hyung, do you think Namjoon can help me investigate more about Areum."
"Yeah. I could help you figuring out what she likes and dislikes. Namjoon could help you on finding about her personal information like her birthday or her family, also any DNA information." He states.

I finish the rest of my drink. My phone beeps and I go to the app of the cameras on Areum. She walks out of her house with the boy from earlier. Jin peeks at my phone and he nods.

"What?"
"That's her friend. I can tell. By the way he is towards her, he likes her but is too shy. Look at his posture, simple but sort of curved, he's getting shy right now." He said as he points at the screen.
"Hyung."
"Yes."
"I want to know more about who is close to her."
"I can help you with that. Just give me four days, then I'll have the information you need. I'll call up Namjoon so he can start his research on her. I'll be taking my leave now. I have to go to see what father needs help with."

I nod and he stands. He puts his hand on my shoulder and I stand up.

"Don't get to obsessed with her.."
"No promises.."

He chuckles and grins. He pats my shoulder and walks out. As he enters the elevator, I look back down at my phone; looking at the man next to Areum.

Who the hell do you think you are?..

AREUM's POV

I hug Jungkook and his embrace on me feels so safe, warm and comforting. I look up at him and he looks down at me. We like this for a couple a seconds more. We finally pull away and he looks at me worried.

"Areum, are you alright? You seem frightened."

I question myself on whether I should tell him or not. He's my friend he would believe me, right? I face the floor and fiddle with my fingers.

I'm going to tell him..

"Kookie."
"Yes, Areum. "
"I have been seeing these men in suits looking directly at me lately today. But every time I turn around to see if they are there, they aren't. So I don't know if I am hallucinating them or if they are actually there. It scares me.."

He nods as he listens to me. I face him and he reaches out to hold my hands in his. He strokes them softly and smiles lightly.

"Areum if you ever feel scared or anxious. If anything happens to you call me. I'm here for you."

He pulls me into an embrace and I hug his waist. Breathing in his scent, I smile. He has a scent like no other, his aroma is very soft but bold, warm but tough.

"Just so you know, I do believe you. Actually I saw a pair of suited men on my way here. I'll keep a watch from now on, don't worry."
"Thank you Kookie. I didn't want to tell papa, because of his condition."
"I brought some food. My mom made it just for you guys. Dad says he will come and visit your dad to see how he's doing."

He hands me the bag of food and I thank him. Father walks out and waves at Jungkook.

"Hey Kook man!"
"Hello sir. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing well. Thank you. How's your family?"
"We're fine. Thank you."

Father nods and smiles. Father may look tough and scary but he has a heart of gold. Jungkook and Father have a good relationship. They go out a lot. Same goes with Jisoo. They both really love my father. Jisoo and I met when we were 5 and I met Jungkook in middle school. Father loves them both like sons. I smile at them. They make me so happy. Someone knocks at our gate and we turn around. Jisoo stands there waving at us while holding a bag. I open the gate and he walks in.

"Hello Mr. King. My mother cooked up some food for your family."

My father laughs as he shows the bag of food Jungkook brought.

"Your families are so humble. Make sure to thank them for me boys."

Jungkook and Jisoo look at each other and laugh.

"We sure will."

We all laugh and Mother, Eden and Kristen come out. Eden and Kristen run to say hi to Jungkook and Jisoo. Kristen hugs Jungkook and Jisoo lifts up Eden. They smile at each other. Father hugs close Mother. I smile warmly as I look at all of them.

I never want to lose them nor my family..
