KimCorp. (Kim Taehyung AU)

34

Chaeya warily scanned her surroundings before she initiated what she planned; she hurriedly stood up from her desk and tried taking aesthetic photos of her bouquet. She grunted in frustration when all the photos she's taken did not satisfy her. She took photos once more and decided to give up. She flopped back to her rotating chair and stared at the beautiful flowers, slowly a smile sprawled on her lips as she adored the flowers. She knew that this was well thought and designed. Her thoughts brought her to what's gonna happen at the end of the 'week', she sighed and rubbed her temples in stress.

A tap on her desk disturbed her from her thoughts.

"Love?" Taehyung's deep voice penetrated through her quiet atmosphere.

"Hmm?" She sat up, her eyes now at her boss before her.

"Are you okay?" A genuine look of worry displayed on Taehyung's face.

"Yeah..." she mumbled, not realizing that slowly she has accepted his endearments.

"You look..." he spoke but then stopped himself.

"Stressed?" She finished the sentence for him instead.

"Distressed." He argued.

"Aren't those the same things?" She asked then lightly chuckled at the end.

"Let's eat lunch?" He suggested making Chaeya glance at her watch and realize that it's almost twelve noon.

"Sure, I'll prepare Eddie." Chaeya asked, as she tries to shrug off weariness, at this very moment, she only wish to sprawl in her bed wrapped on her comforters and just be lazy.

"No need. I've booked one for us. I'll drive us there." He casually spoke, smiling towards her and almost immediately Chaeya's lips reflected his, smiling without realization.

"Okay." Slowly, she cleaned her desk. Taking her time and not caring for the first time that her boss is actually there waiting for her. She sauntered her way beside Taehyung, blatantly out of energy with her shoulder bag to her right shoulders. Silently, they walked towards the elevator and as if a light bulb dinged in her head, she rushed back at her desk to get her bouquet, leaving a confused Taehyung yet he chuckled when he realized where she's headed. He paused from walking in the middle of the office, surrounded by his employees, some were dozing off but he didn't mind since it's lunchbreak already.

"I left this." She said then heaved a sigh while clutching her flowers. Taehyung smiled at her form then slowly wrapped his arms around her infront of everybody.

Fuck, Chaeya cursed in her thoughts. She realized that she forgot about their 'talk' and it's kind of too late for that as she realized her co workers staring at them in surprise.

"What are you doing?!" She hissed, audible for him but out of earshot from the others.

"Ahaha, thank you Mr. Kim." She said outloud instead in an attempt to revive her reputation, belting an awkward laugh at the end while slowly pulling away from him, rushing towards the elevator— keeping her head down in embarrassment.

"What was that?" Taehyung asked once the elevator shut close.

"Remember when I told you about that talk?" Chaeya started, mumbling while tucking a hair to her left ear which Taehyung found cute.

"I hope this won't happen next time, no PDA on the workplace." Chaeya added. Taehyung smirked, picking up ideas that Chaeya had no idea she had planted. While Taehyung rejoiced, Chaeya's mind clogged with worry, even though she knew that the staff at the top floor could be trusted with a secret with what happened earlier, she's afraid they'll view her differently. She would never want to be the 'secretary with a secret affair with their boss'. Once they've arrived at the parking lot, in front of his car, Taehyung hurriedly open the door to Chaeya's side and to Chaeya's dismay, three employees from Kim Corp actually saw them.
