TRAILER:

I hold my breath, observing the slight rise and fall of your chest as you sleep.

My heart thumps in sync with your slow, shallow breaths.

You look so peaceful, serenity plastered over your face, its beautiful features much softer in slumber.

Your soft lips part with every breath that leaves your mouth. It catches my attention. The idea of feeling them on mine makes my heart flutter and the urge to kiss you takes over me.

You should be kissed so very often, and by someone who knows how.

You slightly twitch in your sleep and your forehead creases. I gasp softly. What is it that you dream about? Is it by any chance me?

Am I in your dreams?

Because you are in mine.

I don't know how you'd react if you saw me here, sitting on the bed and admiring you.

It's dark in here. I don't want to scare you.

Truth is, I can't seem to fall asleep. I'm just so taken with you. You have a hold on me that no one else has. I'm lost in a sea of you, you captivate my soul.

I'm your prisoner now.

You ignited a blaze inside of me and now there's no going back. It burns, but it feels so right, so natural.

The thought of being without you makes me crumble.

I'd rather watch you burn than walk away from me.

I suppose I am a mess. Maybe I should be ashamed. Ashamed of everything I've done to win you over. Keep you close.

But you know what?

I don't regret a single thing.

Because everything I've done, it has brought you to me.

I had been working two days for BigHit Entertainment when I first laid my eyes on Kim Taehyung in real life.

I was in a desperate need for a job when a friend of mine told me that BigHitEnt were looking for staff members. The job was really simple – all I had to do was pack, unpack, take care of the costumes, make-up, cosmetics and etc., and the money was enough. So without any further hesitation I accepted and she recommended me.

Oh, I wasn't going to lie – they were gorgeous. I couldn't deny it. Especially one of them.

                                                                                              ***

It was a cold rainy afternoon. I had just gone out for some fresh air in my lunch break on my second day of work at some photoshoot.

I didn't see him get close until suddenly I felt him inches away from me.

"Tough day?"his low, silky voice washed over me like honey and sent chills down my spine.

I glanced up to see Taehyung, staring at me with his deep, dark eyes. He had a playful smirk on his lips. When I looked at him, a spark appeared in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.

"Not really. I just needed some fresh air. It's crazy in there," I said casually, as not to show the effect he had on me.

He was wearing a black leather jacket, a plain white t-shirt and ripped jeans. With this outfit, he was looking like a complete bad-ass. I would be lying if I said I didn't find him hot as hell.

"The first day is always the worst."  he responded. I desperately searched my mind for anything to say, but my brain suddenly couldn't form thoughts. Not one that made sense anyway.

"Hey, Tae, get back here! We're about to start filming again", Namjoon appeared at the door and waved at Taehyung.

"I'm coming", Taehyung replied, slightly annoyed. Was he annoyed because we had to stop our conversation? He looked at me with the same devilish spark that he had in his gaze some moments ago.

"I hope to see you again sometime soon", he said quietly. I nodded and before I could respond, he was gone.

***

It had been a year since the day I talked to him for the first time.

Over the course of this year I had become so much better at my job. They promoted me to Staff Manager. Actually, I became so good that they put me in charge of organizing the photoshoots, the filming of the MVs and even tours. I was travelling all over the world with BTS and its staff, always close to them.

Within this year I began having suspicions of Taehyung's infatuation with me. I knew he liked me from the way he was looking at me. He was eating me up only with his eyes. I couldn't help but notice the way he would get sort of pissed when some other guys from the staff talked to me or gave me compliments.

One day, while filming a new MV, I was talking to one of the cameramen, giving advice on how the scenes should be shot.

"Hey, by the way, I'm hosting a party at my place later tonight, to celebrate the end of the filming ", he said suddenly. "Would you like to come over and have some fun with us?"

"Um, yeah, okay," I replied, a little bit surprised. "why not?"

His eyes filled with joy. Behind his back I saw a rather pissed off Taehyung. His gaze was darker, more mysterious, and frankly, it was obvious he was angry. He was talking to Jimin, but I could see that he wasn't invested in the conversation; he was always looking at me and the cameraman.

"Nice! This is the address," he handed over a piece of paper."what do you think, around 9pm?"

I nodded and quickly excused myself because my Messenger was flooded with messages that there was an emergency in the storage unit. I almost ran to it, but when I got there, it was empty and dark. Hm, there must have been a mistake, maybe?

I turned around and walked towards the exit when I heard someone approaching me. Before I could see who it was, I felt a cold hand on my wrist. A strong, solid grasp.

"Looking for someone?" his movements were stealthy, like those of a predator stalking its prey. He was so close, that I could feel his breath. I gulped.

"This girl on the staff paged me that there was an emergency in the storage room and they needed me. But I see that it must've been a mistake," I replied, trying to sound calm.

He stared at me curiously. It was almost impossible to guess what he was thinking. The smell of his perfume was making me feel dizzy. Or was it the arousal of him being so close to me?

"So," he said carelessly as he let go of my hand. I couldn't even remember that he was holding it. "are you going to that party tonight?"

"Maybe" – I answered as a shadow of anger went through his face – "I haven't decided yet."

He didn't reply right away. I noticed his gaze going down on my long neck, then on my chest. Quickly, I covered it with my arms and he smiled crookedly. Then he looked at my bare legs. Gosh, I had chosen the wrong day to wear my new mini skirt. He was making me feel uncomfortable just by looking at my body, I felt as if I was naked in front of him.

He made a step towards me. I tried my best to stay still.

"I don't think you should go," he said finally. "I don't think that it's appropriate for you."

This made me fill with anger. Who was Kim Taehyung to tell me where I could and couldn't go? This was outrageous. On the contrary, why was I getting turned on by a man who was telling me that I couldn't do something? As if he sensed my reaction, he added:

"I don't think you belong there."

"Yeah, well, I don't think you have the right to tell me that," I replied, surprised by the sharp edge in my own voice.

"Oh, so you are a bossy little girl, aren't you?" he smirked. "I can see you like to be in charge. But from time to time, don't you like to be bossed around for a change?"

He took a strand of my hair in his hand and played with it. Then, he suddenly leaned towards me and spoke next to my ear.

"You shouldn't mess with these cheesy guys out there. You are far too good for them. You deserve a king," his breath made a soft breeze on my neck and I felt shivers all down my spine. The tips of his fingers touched my back, as if they were electricity. Just as my mind was slowly starting to shut down, he leaned back and moved a couple of steps away from me, leaving me wanting more.

"Oh, and just so you know," Taehyung's voice had become somehow different now – "I wouldn't bother going to that party tonight if I were you. I hear this guy's getting fired today."

I gasped. "Getting fired? Why?"

Instead of answering me, he just offered me a sly smirk before walking out.
