How any of BTS staff members, BTS themselves and V's family handle the scourging hotness that was Kim Taehyung was beyond Lisa's scope of understanding.

She refused to look twice at the view in front of her, wearing only a white robe that compliments his bronze skin almost too perfectly, because if she did... Well let's say she'll be out of breath and short circuit. It would be difficult for her to do her job as of the moment.

And her job was to be a translator.

It was a weird request from Hedi oppa, she complied still. She owes him a lot, and this was one of her form of payments.

She thinks V sunbaenim doesn't need her though. She have watched enough video compilations to be educated about how fluent V can be.

"Thank you for accompanying me, Lisa." Hedi conversed in english. Lisa nodded and smiled in return.

"It's nothing, oppa. I stay right above this room so it's not a bother." Well, it was. She was not ready to meet 1/7 of BTS. And most especially, she was not ready to see him without proper clothes on. It was a dream and a nightmare all at the same time.

"Even so, I hope you do well with passing the message. This is an important matter, okay?" Being the creative designer of big brands, Hedi was grounded. He always seek for a good relationship between colleagues, no matter what rank they were in the industry's ladder. He was not the type to boss around if not needed. He seeks for validation and approval, not wanting anyone to do something that they are not comfortable with.

That's one of the main reasons Lisa wanted to do all of this. The kindness she's trying to give will never compare to what she had received.

She fiddles with her phone in comfortable silence, sending a message to their groupchat saying she arrived at the King's Humble Abode.

Not even a minute later, Taehyung came out of the bathroom wear a white Celine tee, slim fit shorts in gray, and bare faced. A true masterpiece in front of her.

She dropped her phone by her side and stood up, bowing to show respect to a sunbaenim, who was also her ultimate bias ever since BTS have debuted.

"Annyeong, V sunbaenim." She greeted and stood up straight after that. Taehyung bowed to her in response and proceeded to were Hedi was settled. He bowed to the creative designer of Celine.

Taehyung tried to recall how to greet in english, but failed to do so.

" Annyeonghaseyo," He greeted. Hedi offered a hand to shake. Luckily, Lisa taught Hedi some common words on the way to the hotel.

"Mr. Kim," He acknowledged and sat back down.

"Tea, coffee, wine?" He looked around, trying to offer something to his unexpected guests, but spoke in his mother tongue.

"Hedi oppa, would like tea, coffee, or wine?" She translated in an instant, that it caught the attention of Taehyung.

He was absolutely bemused and utterly fascinated by the sight of Lisa going back and forth on languages she was fluent of.

"We're fine Mr. Kim, thank you for offering." Taehyung understood. He sat down beside Hedi.

"We are sorry for coming late at night, V sunbaenim," Lisa said, truly sorry for barging in at an ungodly hour. He must have been resting, which was evident from what he wore to the opened bottle of wine and the half empty glass of it.

Taehyung smiled.

And Lisa thought she might d word.

"It's okay Lisa-ssi. I'm guessing this is an important matter?" He sounded too formal and too damn hot in Lisa's opinion.

"Ne, sunbaenim." She confirmed and nodded curtly at Hedi, gesturing that he should tell the news.

"I've personally come here to inform you that the magazine shoot for Elle would be done with Lisa." Hedi was straight to the point. No more wandering around, none of that. He motioned to Lisa.

She repeated the sentences awkwardly, in her tiny voice. She almost choked when she said he would be working with her.

A tight lip smile formed on Taehyung's gorgeous lips.

"When do we start?"
