"Pass!" I casually pushed away the yellow floral dress on the bed. Staring straight across the mirror, "Nothing is working out.......Oh Jinnieyaaaa....help."

"Alright....number 14th rejected." She left out a heavy breath while handing out next piece of attire.

Adjusting it over my frame, I looked into the mirror trying to analyse if it fits me well. Making unsure faces, I look over at my personal designer Oh jin for her remarks.

"How do I look? Will I look breathtakingly beautiful in this?" I raised my brows in question.

"Are you planning to be serial killer or murderer? You just need to look beautiful, such that He can't take his eyes off you. Don't plan on taking his breath away and being a reason for his death..."

Oh Jin was still not confident about my plan of making the gamble over that eavesdropped conversation and risk my heart for Taehyung. Yet she supported me with my decision and was now helping me out.

"Wait... I have the perfect pair of shoes that will go best with this combination of dress. Wait, I will fetch them from my room." She hurried out of the room.

In the meanwhile I got dressed and was combing my hair, when Oh Jin came back with some stuff.

"Ahhhh....If that 'I am not serious with relationships but I am not a womaniser' Taehyung still doesn't die after seeing you today... I bet I will stab him to death." Oh Jin looks at me and shows a thumbs up.

" Huffffff...... Alright... I am ready.. let's go." I calm my racing heartbeats and smile at my reflection in the mirror.

"Erhmmmm.... something is missing..." Oh Jin points out with a sceptical look. And then pulls out her most treasured Victoria Secret's Mist and sprays it on my pulse points.

" Is this necessary?" I look at her with amusement.

"Of course... It's the final seal. Now you are ready to slay." She looks satisfied with my final look as a smile creeps out on her face..

"And don't forget to call me in case he misbehaves... I am always ready with my free giveaways of Punches and kicks..." She laughs out loud and we walk towards the parking.

I stood in front of the elevator door waiting for it to reach the floor.

" Ji Eunaaa...." Alice called out my name as soon as she spotted me. Taehyung followed him clad in autumn colours. The long grey coat pared up with his yellow glasses gave me really a hard time to gulp down the brimming feelings.

As we step inside the elevator , I could feel the electrifying air around us. All three of us were quiet, just when Alice cleared her throat, " Can you accompany me later for some shopping , Ji euna?"

" Ah... sure Unnie... I would love to..." I gave an excited response.

" Perfect, I will ask Oh Jin and Shin ae to join us..." Alice smiled back and dropped her phone in the bag as she needed to get down at that floor. She walked out of the elevator not before turning back for a last time and winked, "By the way... You smell heavenly..."

The elevator doors closed after her, leaving the two of us feeling the sexual tension. Seconds later, Taehyung's husky morning voice boomed in , " What is with this change of perfume?" He sounded cold and serious.

"What? It smells pretty nice, just like Alice said a moment back....." I composed myself to form a reply as it was difficult for me to find my voice. I felt my cheeks flushed hot, and my stomach was heavy. My heart pounded in my throat, threatening to break out. His eyes wandered over my body. "I don't like it. It is masking your scent. The natural fragrance of Ji eun."

He walked out the next moment when the doors opened, while I stood there my mouth half hung open, stupefied at his bold remark.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the house at evening, I gulped down a bottle of cold water to cool down my insides.

"This boy, every time I try to trap him, He shoots me down......" I was busy with some self talking when Ajumma pushed in a tray of Coffee in my hands.

"What?" I looked at her confused.

" Take this to your Sunbae (senior) Taehyung.."

"Ajjuma.... My working hours are over. I am not going to look at that arrogant face for the rest of the day. Complete no no..." I folded my hands over my chest keeping the tray aside.

" Will you not help me? I am a bit busy...." Ajumma knew really well how to melt me with her antics.

"Alright....." I sighed and picked up the tray, heading towards Taehyung's room.

I swear it was the worst timing error I ever did in this lifetime. If abruptly walking over my best friend and brother's heated up action was terrible... this was scandalous.

The bathroom door opened and Taehyung walked out wearing a white towel, wrapped across his waist. The water droplets falling of his wet locks of hair , paving their way across a prominent jaw curved gracefully around and the strength of his neck showed in the twining cords of muscle that shaped his entire body; strong arms, bold thighs and calves, a firm chest and abdomen. He was an Adonis among the other men who each pale in comparison. One look and both women and men swooned at the sight of him no matter their sexual preferences and one word passed from his lips had even the straightest of men flushing shades of red that no one ever knew was naturally possible.

My heart was flipping and my throat felt parched. I suddenly felt thirsty.

He stared into my eyes. His gaze digging deep into my orbs ,trying to devour the pitfire of raw passion.

"I am sorry......" I attempted to close my eyes, covering them with my hands.

"It's okay... We are even now." I felt a tinge of amusement in his voice. He was really enjoying the situation.

"What do you mean?" I turned around to face him, ignoring everything around. Yes, just his eyes....I wasn't looking anywhere else. At least I was trying real hard to not lose my focus.

"I saw you in bathing suit.........................when you were in third standard." He roared into piles of laughter.

I felt like strangling him to death. I was angry and all the blood reached my face. Aniya (Noway), I was not blushing, I was just angry. I explained my erratic insides.

He leaned in near my face. His hot breath falling over my earlobes, he whispered, "Don't worry. You are my best kept Secret."
