"My, my look how much you've grown!" Mrs Kim cooed at the two of us. "Nari honey you've gotten so beautiful. Let me take a picture to send to your mother, she would kill me if I didn't."

Nari smiled at the lady, taken aback by her unexpected kindness which usually never happened.

"Ahh, come on Sora." Her husband dragged her away, too exhausted from his flight to put up with his wife's acting.

"Honey it's good for business!" She whisper-shouted at him, slapping his hand away and walking off herself.

Taehyung rolled his eyes, having been used to this act they put on at times. He believed the exposure to media and fame in the business industry messed with his parents' minds a little. And frankly, he was right.

"How was the flight Mr and Mrs Kim?" Nari asked politely, not sparing Taehyung a glance ever since their awkward make out session.

"It was okay, sweetheart. Here take my stuff." The woman answered piling her baggage in Nari's hands.

Noticing that the girl was struggling, Taehyung took them from her shaking arms and carried them himself. This was a common occurrence for him to help her out yet she couldn't help the blush creeping up her cheeks.

Taehyung caught sight of her reaction and cleared his throat, noticing the unusual tension that had risen between them. He wondered why she was acting this way for a second, not realising the girl was internally cursing him out.

It made no sense to her why he was suddenly acting so nice and completely obliterating the fact he's been such a jerk lately. Was it only an act he was trying to put up?

Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

"Were you two always this awkward around each other or did something happen?" Mr Kim analysed the two suspiciously.

Instantly their faces flushed thinking about what was about to happen only moments before. And wether it might happen again...

"Oh Nari-ah, your mother gave me something to give to you." Mrs Kim mentioned whilst they were almost about to arrive home.

"Is it the documents again?" She sighed.

"Yeah they want you to go back to the States. Haven't you changed your mind by now? It's time you mature and take up the position in our company."

"I told them countless times already, my answer will remain the same. I'm staying here, I don't want to take part in whatever business they have there."

"We were planning to take you with us once we leave but it's up to you-" Mrs Kim stopped from her chatter abruptly noticing a figure standing outside their house. "Kim Taehyung is that another one of your girlfriends?"

Taehyung looked confused at his mother before switching his gaze to where she was pointing at. It was Sher. Standing outside his house for some reason.

He parked the car and got out in a hurry making Nari mentally puke at his 'worried state'

"Sher? What are you doing here my parents are going to kill you!"

"Tae it's about my brother-"

"Isn't that one of the Yang members?" His father scanned her in distaste.

Sher was about to bow but Mrs Kim's voice stopped her.

"I know one when I see one. What is that rat doing outside my door?"

"I'm his girlfriend Miss."

Mrs Kim chuckled. "I've heard that one plenty of times" making Nari snort, knowing it was true.

"Mom, she's different." Taehyung added.

"Now that one I haven't heard..." Mr Kim said. "It can't happen anyway. We don't affiliate with the Yang family."

"Well why not?" Taehyung argued. 

"Everyone knows the Yangs are our biggest trading competition in America. Taehyung-ah, you should know that by now." Mrs Kim chuckled before waltzing away. "Anyway get her out of my face, I'm nauseous enough as it is."

"What is it that you wanted to tell me?" Taehyung said, leaning against the wall.

"My brother found out about...your supplies." Taehyung instantly covered her mouth, leaning in.

"I told you no one can ever find out about that."

"I know, I know. All I'm saying is stay on watch. You never know what he could do to you."

Taehyung chuckled. "And what is it to you?"

"I'm worried about you." She said as her finger grazed his cheekbone.

Are you really worried about me or does the fact that you won't have someone to sleep with bother you more?

Nari watched as Sher was about to lean in and instantly looked away. She went to grab her jacket and headed out the house.

How could he do that right in from of me?

She remembered the way he was looking at her and anyone could tell, he was whipped.

"Nari? Where you off to?" Taehyung asked watching her leave

"None of your fucking business." She scowled before leaving the two in utter confusion.

Nari waited as the door before her opened hesitantly.

"Nari?"

"Do you mind keeping me company tonight?" She asked the boy. "Only if it's okay with you Felix..."

I'm so sorry, this was such a short and boring chapter.
