If Only

Chapter 10

☆Taehyung's POV☆

The first thing I saw was their hands.

'Why the fuck are they holding hands?' I thought, clenching my teeth together.

Y/N's eyes connected with mine and she looked away quickly. The bastard told her something, grinning, and she replied. My eyes narrowed as he glanced over at me, questioningly.

"Tae? You good?"

I looked back at Jia who stood there, her head tilted at me. I nodded and led her over to our table. I pulled her chair out and she sat.

"Thanks," Jia told me, smiling.

I smiled back at her, glancing back at Y/N and that... guy. They stood and she grabbed his arm as they walked towards the cashier. She began to pull out her purse but the man pushed it down and pulled his wallet out.
They argued but he eventually gave the worker his card.

'So they were on a date, huh?' I thought bitterly as they walked out of the restaurant together.

"Taehyung? Are you even in there?" Jia asked me, waving her hand in front of my face.

"I- yeah sorry." I replied, running my hands down my face.

"You sure? You know you can talk to me whenever, right?"

Jia grabbed my hands in hers and rubbed her thumbs in circles over mine. I nodded and let out a huge sigh.

"Don't worry. Let's just enjoy our lunch together, Jia." I smiled at her and she returned the gesture, "We really should've done this sooner."

She nodded, "We really should've."

We continued our lunch together and talked about all the different things that have happened over the years. It was almost 1 when we finished and I walked Jia out to her car.

"Thanks for meeting me today, Tae." Jia told me as I helped her in her car.

I grinned at her and replied, "Happy to. We should do this again."

She nodded, "Oh- and apologize to your secretary for me, ok? I was a little rude during our last phone call." She quickly said.

"Will do..." I responded quietly.

Jia grinned before driving away, waving at me. I waved back and trudged back to my car. I racked my brain for any clue on who the guy with Y/N was but came up with none.

I groaned and began to head back to the office. Before I entered the office, I sat in my car for a few minutes, thinking.

'How could she do this?'
'WHY would she do this?'
'Was I too pushy?'
'Did we go too fast?'
'Did I go too fast?'

I agonized over this until my phone rang, making me jump. I picked it up and looked at who was calling.
"Ms Y/N♡"
I paused, staring at the flashing screen. I let it go to voicemail and saw she left a message. I quickly clicked on it, lifting the phone to my ear.

"Um, Hi." Her soothing voice greeted me and I immediately relaxed.

"Sorry to disturb you sir," At the word 'sir', I flinched. I thought I told her to not call me that.

"But, Mr. Jeon Jungkook is here to see you for your 1 o'clock appointment, annnnd," She paused, "It's 1!"

Her musical laugh filed through the phone and I smiled when I heard it.

"Ok um, I just wanted to remind you. Uh, hope you had a nice lunch and I'll um- I'll see you soon! Ok... bye!"

She hung up and the message ended. I placed my phone down and leaned back in my chair, sighing.

'Why the hell are you mad at her, Taehyung?' My mind asked me, 'Dumbass... Without her, you're broken.'

'I know.' I replied, clenching my fists together. And with that I threw open my car door and ran to the office room. I sprinted up the stairs, remembering the last time I took them. I smiled as I pictured her shocked face when I picked her up.

'Put me down! You're going to hurt yourself!'

"Mr.  Kim?"

I snapped out of my daze and looked at who talked to me. Selene sat at her desk, looking expectantly at me. 

"Ms. Y/N and Mr. Jeon are waiting for you in your office."

"They are what!?" I yelled, my eyes narrowing.

Selene jumped and glanced up at me, a surprised look landing on her face, "Uhhh, they are waiting for you, sir?"

I let out a deep breath and apologized to Selene for my outburst before rushing to my office in the back. I slammed open the door making Y/N yelp and jump.

"What the hell, Mr. Kim!?" Y/N exclaimed, lightly placing her hand on her forehead, "I almost had a heart attack!"

I heard a deeper chuckle and quickly turned to look at the man who sat in front of my desk. The same man from the restaurant. The same fucking bastard that was with Y/N. My eyes narrowed as he looked over at Y/N.

"You good?" He asked her and she nodded, grumbling under her breath.

"I'll leave you two to have your..." She paused, waving her hands at us, "...meeting thing."

I turned to watch her leave, my eyes softening as we made eye contact. She quickly looked away, biting her lip as she closed the door.

"So, Mr. Kim. I'm relieved that you agreed to sign the deal with my father's company." The man told me, standing to shake my hand.

I walked right past his hand and sat down in my chair. Lightly chuckling, he sat back down and placed his hands in his lap carefully.

"Do you have the papers?" I asked, getting straight to the point.

I didn't want to have to be in the same room as this man for more than I needed to be. He nodded and pulled them out. He quickly signed them and gave them to me to do the same. I scribbled my signature on them, scanning over the requirements, probably for the 100th time. I glanced up at him to see him staring at his watch.

"Do you need to be somewhere, Mr. Jeon?" I asked him. He shook his head and smiled. After a while of me signing things, Mr. Jeon spoke up.

"Your secretary is quite something."

I immediately stopped writing momentarily and sat up a little straighter. I cleared my throat and began signing again.

"Yes, yes she is. One of the best I've ever had." I replied coldly.

He grinned and leaned forward, "She thinks quite highly of you, you know." He told me quietly.

I gulped and nodded, "Believe me, I know."
