gaze

"Ms. Kim. " she turned around when she heard her name being called only to be faced by the boss, Kim Taehyung.

"Oh, good morning Mr. Kim." she greeted and bowed.

"Where's your friend?" he asked as soon as they entered the elavator together with the other person who works in there.

"Oh, uh, she's on her way I guess," she trailed off, "her parents just arrived today from Australia and she assisted them on going to the hotel they're staying" she answered.

"Oh okay. Are you going to attend the meeting?"

"Yeah, I will ." she stuttered as she answered.

"Okay then, let's go together." and with that the elavator door opened.

Taehyung gripped Jennie's hands and pulled her,  gently, out of the elavator, he didn't even bother to let her answer while the girl's eyes widen but she didn't do anything to stop him.

It was like her body stopped functioning when he held her hands and felt his touch. She felt deaf as the fast beating of her heart took over her system.

The other workers that saw them walking together, hand in hand, widen their eyes in shock.

Well, who wouldn't? Kim Taehyung? known as the 'cold and strict CEO' was holding a new employee's hands? Weird, right?

"Uh, M-mr. -" the girl stuttered, "would you mind if I won't go with you? I mean, I still need to do my stuffs in the restroom before--"

"Oh, yeah, I get it, sorry," the male cut her off, obviously noticing the girl's uneasiness, " I'll meet you there?" he asked as he let's go of her tiny hands.

"Uhm, yeah. I'll meet you there." she bowed once again as a sign of respect before she stormed out of his sight and hurriedly went to the restroom.

"Oh my god! What was that?" she asked inside her head as she looked at her self into the large mirror, running her hands through her hair.

His touch. There is something about his touch. The way his soft and tender hands met hers, she felt electricity all over her body then became numb afterwards.

She felt like she was already touched by the same person before and she doesn't know why. The first time they meet, she already felt like she had already met him in the past.

Why? Is this some kind of joke? No, no Jennie. You're overreacting. That is just a simple gesture. Compose yourself. There's a meeting you still need to attend in a few minutes. She reminded and that seemed to help her ease her mind.

One last time, she checked herself in the mirror before she exited the restroom.

When all of the needed workers arrived, the meeting started immediately. Of course, the CEO was there, sitting in his chair, hands in his chin while the other was holding his pen, swaying it up nd down. Jimin was also present, he was standing in the front, looking so professional, with his well-ironed suit and hair that is styled, explaining what will be the meeting's subject.

"Ms. Jennie Kim and Ms. Chaeyoung Park." he pointed and smiled at me and the blonde beside me as all the eyes inside the hall turned to look at us.

Chaeyoung and I smiled awkwardly and bowed. Slowly, we stood up from our seats and proceeded in front with Jimin.

I could feel the nervousness Chaeyoung felt because her hands were shaking so I tried to calm her by smiling.

"Everyone, this is Jennie Kim and Park Chaeyoung, the designers we hired to rebuild this place." Jimin introduced and the attendees flashed the both of us a genuine smile, including the boss.

"So what's your plan Ms. Kim, Ms. Park?" I was shocked when Mr. Kim asked. Usually, the one who asks these kinds of questions is the board officials, not the CEO.

"Uhm, base on our discussion yesterday sir, you wanted this building to look luxurious, so.." Chaeyoung trailed off and showed them a photo -for an example- that was flashed on the projector.

"continue." she mouthed at me.

I took a deep breath before starting,
"Like most design terms, "luxury" is hard to define. Luxury homes focus on comfort, elegance, and custom touches to embody the highest pedigree of interior design. Basically, you know it when you see it." I managed to finish my line without stuttering.

Why will I stutter? Because he's looking at me! Me! I swear, I saw it. His gaze keeps on following every movement I make and its making my heart turn into loops and I don't know why.

I'm glad that the meeting ended smoothly, with me and Chaeyoung exchanging words.

I can still feel his gaze at me and its creeping me out, seriously. I tried to shrugg it off but I can't.

Gathering all my courage, I looked back at him, straight in the eyes but looked away afterwards. I can't. His eyes. It's like he's hypnotising me and I can't do anything about it.

●

Me and Chaeyoung are currently in the Cafeteria with Jimin. Yes, the boss' friend.

I don't know why but ever since the first day, he'll always join us in everything we do, including eating but we won't complain, he's the one paying anyways.

I looked at the two person sitting across me, glaring at each other after the argument they just had.

I teasingly told Chaeyoung that it's better to just go and leave Jimin alone but she disagreed, saying that the food he ordered might go to waste which is true.

I really love food Jen, and it shouldn't go to waste. I remember her said that when we were five.

"Anyways, have you noticed Taehyung's look on you earlier?" Jimin suddenly spoke which made me choke. He noticed that?

"Oh! You saw it too? I thought I was just imagining things." Chaeyoung, the way she is, immediately butt in.

"What look?" I tried to play dumb and continued to eat.

"His look. You know, I already think that he's into you. I mean, he's literally focused on you the whole time." Chaeyoung answered with an exaggerating voice.

"Oh, haha, it must be the trick of the light, ya know? I acted cool, shrugging the suspicious looks the two gave me.

" I agree with her Ms. Kim. I've been with Taehyung since we're still wearing diapers and I swear, I never saw him looking like that to anyone. Never."
