Taehyung sat in Y/n's father's office, discussing Chaeryeong. Y/n was sitting there too, she comes to work 3-4 days a week, the rest she focuses on her social work.

Taehyung specifically avoids coming to her company when she is here, but today he had to come to talk to her father and for a meeting too.

And his mind was thinking about her being bent over his lap. He wonders how her ass is looking right now.

"I don't have a problem with Chaeryeong working, but I can't help but feel uneasy about her modeling career. I believe she should consider a more noble profession, she can work in company with you or me, Y/n is working too." Taehyung explained.

She narrowed her eyes, she hasn't forgotten what he did last night.

Y/n's father nodded understandingly, "I see your point, Taehyung. A more traditional career might align better with our family values. I have told Chaeryeong too, I hope she understands.”

Y/n, who had been quietly listening, interjected, "Dad, I don't think there's anything wrong with Chaeryeong's choice. Modeling is a legitimate career, and she enjoys it."

Taehyung glanced at Y/n, realizing her discomfort. Did she forget the spankings? "I just want what's best for her," he added.

Y/n, defending Chaeryeong, said, "What's best for her is letting her pursue her passion, Dad. It's 2024, and modeling is as noble as any other career."

Her father sighed, realizing the generational gap in their perspectives. "Y/n, it's about Taehyung and what he wants, even though I don't  allow her to become a model but I hope Chaeryeong understands our concerns as well."

She decided to leave the room, she went to check the documents for the meeting, she sat in her office coffee and Taehyung came to her.

“I think you already forgot the punishment.” He said and sat on the sit In Front of her. “You are really hard to tame, give me some time I will be able to do that.”

“Taehyung don't annoy me, I don't want to see your face.” She looked at the papers.

Y/n always looks at his eyes when she talks to him, and today she was avoiding it. Not because she was scared of something, but she was mad at him.

And it was bothering him. Her not looking at his eyes was bothering him so much. He hated this feeling.

“Why? Come on wild cat. Does looking at me remind you of last night, remember how you moan my name?” He said and she still didn't look at him.

She hasn't ever gotten so mad at him that she gave him silent treatment.

Was I too much last night? He asked, questioning himself too.

This girl really knows how to mess with his head. He sat there, and She didn't even bother to look at him, and acted like he wasn't there.

His inside was burning now, what is she not looking at him? He wants to make eye contact with her, he was longing for it.

“Miss park, it's meeting time.” Her assistant came to her and informed her she looked at Taehyung and told him too.

Y/n nodded her head, “Can you bring some coffee for me in the conference room?”

“For me too.” Taehyung said. Y/n knows he doesn't drink coffee. “Exactly like Miss Park likes.” He exclaimed and left.

Her assistant went to make coffee and Y/n was checking the documents for the last time before standing up, she saw her assistant and walked to her. Y/n picked up the salt and added two full spoons of it in one coffee cup. “Miss park! That is salt! Not sugar!”

“I know, Give this to Taehyung.”

Her assistant looked at her shocked. “But-”

“Just do as I said,” She said and then picked up her coffee cup before going to the conference room.

After a few minutes her assistant came with Taehyung’s coffee and put it In Front of him. Her assistant's hands were literally shaking, while serving that coffee to Taehyung.

She watches as Taehyung takes a sip of coffee. He didn't show his expression for a few seconds before showing a disgusted face.

He looked at Y/n, who quickly looked away, but Taehyung got the idea that it was who did this prank. So he took another sip and drank the coffee as if it's normal.

She looked at him shocked, he felt like vomiting, because of the bitter and salty taste combined but Y/n looked at him. He made eye contact with her.

He was feeling empty with her avoiding him. Y/n was confused, was the coffee normal or what? How does he drink without showing any reaction?

He thought of taking a water bottle and drinking it, washing down the disgusting taste.

She was still shocked but then the meeting started. She decided to focus on the meeting for now, In the high-stakes meeting about constructing an international airport. That is why Taehyung was there too, owning the biggest airline. He does have a say in this, because he is investing it.

Y/n, representing her family's construction company, voiced her concerns. "Mr. Park, I understand the importance of the airport, but the land in question contributes to 3% of Korea's cotton production. If we take that away, we'll have to import cotton, impacting our farmers who are already struggling," she argued.

Her father, a stern businessman, replied, "Y/n, business decisions can't be clouded by emotions. It's about progress and development."

Y/n retorted, "It's not just emotions, Dad. It's about the economy too. Importing cotton would have a ripple effect, not to mention the hardship it puts on our farmers."

Taehyung, who was also present in the meeting, observed the tension.

Y/n continued, "We should consider sustainable alternatives or find a way to minimize the impact on agriculture. It's not just about the project; it's about responsible development."

The room held a palpable tension, as Y/n and her father stood on opposite sides of the debate between business and societal responsibility.

She always does, which is why her father hates when Y/n comes to office. He get vibe that he is dealing with his own father again.

“I agree with her.” Taehyung said. Making Y/n look at him surprised. Does he agree? “I had a few other areas in my head, maybe we should consider that.”

“But the other areas are not as big as this one.” Another investor said.

“It's away from the city too, 80 km is a lot to travel. And agricultural land, I think it's better for us to consider other areas.” Taehyung said.

“Both buying another land will be more expensive, we can get this one at a low price, and convince the farmer.” Another one said, convincing the farmers to scam them, and make more profit from them.

They discuss the matter and Y/n was surprised that Taehyung was taking Y/n’s side and convincing them to consider her point of view.

And they all agreed to what Y/n was saying.

After the meeting they all left the meeting room, but Y/n stared. She went to where Taehyung's coffee cup was. He stared at it and it had a little coffee left.

She took a sip to check if it had salt and it was disgusting. How did Taehyung drink it?

“You are so obsessed with me, drinking from my cup after I leave.” Taehyung said, making her surprised. She turned to him.
 
He passed the water bottle to her. She took it because the coffee taste was so disgusting she could still feel the taste. She drinks the water.

As she was drinking it, Taehyung smirked. “Now you are drinking from my water bottle. So in love with me huh?

She spit out the water, Taehyung knew she would do it so he moved away before she could spit on him. She wiped her lips. “You are crazy.”

“Surely, crazy.” He mumbled, and he is. He drank that coffee with salt just so Y/n would look at him. “Are you not gonna thank me for taking your side? Even when they caused me loss?”

“No, Psycho.” She mumbled before leaving the meeting room.

Taehyung sighed and leaned against the table as he watched her. He sighed, “You are being too expensive these days.”

He mumbled, as he has lost billions just to do as she says.

He smiles, she can bring him close to becoming bankrupt, yet still he would do anything for her.

“Your fiance is too much.” Y/n said, she has been talking about Taehyung, even Chaeryeong was annoyed.

“Y/n, can you stop using ‘Your fiance’, He was also our friend.” She said,

“Friend? Only Jungkook is my friend, not this arrogant rat.” Y/n exclaimed.

“You both are cat and mouse, no surprise he calls you a wild cat.” Chaeryeong said.

“I wish I was a cat, I would have ripped him apart.” She said, “And why are you not mad at him last night huh?”

“What can I say?” She replied.

“What can you say? You can scold him for kidnapping me and spanking me! You should.” Y/n exclaimed.

“Here I can't even take a stand for myself Y/n, you do that better.” Chaeryeong said.

Y/n phone was ringing, she had two phones, one android and one iPhone. She couldn't decide which one, so she had both. But it came handy as the iphone one is laying at the bottom of the sea.

Jungkook was calling her and she ignored him, he must have landed and now wanted to see her. She switched off her phone, she doesn't want to see him.

“Just leave Taehyung, thinking about him is not worth it.” Y/n said and wrapped her arms around Chaeryeong. “Let's go out to eat ice cream.”

“At this time when it's 6 degrees outside?” Chaeryeong said.

“Just come, who knows if your so-called husband will allow you to leave at night after the marriage or not.” Y/n exclaimed.

“Are you gonna drive Nancy?” Chaeryeong asked.

Nancy is the name of her grandpa's vintage dark blue ferrari, it was 1970.  Her grandpa loved that car a lot and called it Nancy. He said it's his first love. He gave that to Y/n, after his death. And now Y/n takes care of it.

“Nah, I can't take Nancy out at night.”

Taehyung's mother entered the living room, a warm smile on her face as she found him engrossed in his work on his laptop

"Taehyung, my dear, how's everything going?" she asked, a twinkle in her eyes.

He looked up, surprised but pleased by her visit. "Hey, Mom, Everything's good, just caught up with work."

She took a seat next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "What's going with Chaeryeong?”

“Nothing, I handled it.” Taehyung said.

“Taehyung, we are not forcing you, then why are you marrying her? I feel like you don't love her.” She said,

“Love is stupid. I don't love or want to love anyone.” He mumbled.

“Then why are you marrying her if you can't love her?” She asked.

“Love is the last thing needed in marriage. Giving her love, status and my name is enough, in return she can give me children. That's all.” He replied, he doesn't like marriage either. But he wants to have kids at a good age.

“Marriage is more than that,” She said.

“Did you experience what you read in books?” He asked. For him, good marriages are only in movies and books. There is no couple who he admires.

“You can make your wife experience it.” She replied. “Marriage is a beautiful journey, if there is love. Maybe that was lacking in mine and your father's marriage. But it wasn't like I was not giving him love, I loved him and still do, but he felt the need to receive love from somewhere else too. That didn't hurt me as much as him bringing his other child home in the place which I called home. Since the day he came I don't feel like this house belongs to me anymore.”

He held her hand, “I understand how you feel mom. I hate him too.”,

“Why do you hate him? I have a reason to dislike him, Taehyung, you don't. He is your brother and he doesn't have any other family.” She said, She doesn't have courage to treat Jungkook like her son, or nicely. That is why she ignores Jungkook, because she wished he had never existed. But she doesn't want Taehyung to hate him.

Leaning closer, she continued, "Don't let it overwhelm you. If you are not ready, don't rush it. Your health and happiness are what matter most."

Her fingers gently ran through his hair, a gesture that had comforted him since childhood. "Take care of yourself, Taehyung. You're doing great, and I'm so proud of the person you've become."

He smiled, feeling the warmth of his mother's love. "Thanks, Mom.”

Jungkook came home and was looking for Y/n’s texts. She is ignoring him, and he doesn't even know why. She must have gotten mad at him, again over something.

He came home and no one was there to greet him and care that he was home. Like always, he comes and leaves and no one cares. Except Y/n.

He saw Taehyung and his mother, sharing the sweet moment and he felt pain in his chest. He never gets to have his mother's love.

When he was younger, he would try to get attention and love from Taehyung's mother, because he needed it, he was just 5 at that time. But she would push Jungkook away all the time. As she only loved Taehyung, her real son.

Jungkook didn't understand the reason for her loving him in his childhood but he realized it when he grew up.

Taehyung and his mother looked at Jungkook, but didn't greet him. His mother then leaves. And Taehyung focused on work.

He went and sat on the couch with Taehyung, “Hi, Hyung. I thought you were sleeping by now.”

Taehyung doesn't talk to him unless Jungkook starts the conversation. “Yeah, just working.”

“Y/n told me about what you did.” Jungkook said. Taehyung looked at him.

“Why would she tell you?” Taehyung asked.

“We are friends, she shares everything with me.” He replied.

“Hmm,” Taehyung looked at his laptop again. This time feeling jealous because they are close.

“Why are you marrying Chaeryeong?” He asked.

“She is pretty, tall, from a noble family, what else do I need?” Taehyung rolled his eyes. He doesn't want to tell the reason to everyone.

“That's good. Leave that, you know-”

“Jungkook, I am trying to work here. You must be tired and go to sleep.” Taehyung said.

Jungkook was not tired, he wanted to talk. He still smiled and said goodnight to Taehyung. Before he went to take a shower.

He was thinking about Y/n, he feels suffocating when he comes back home and only she makes him better.

He doesn't know if she is home, he can't go to her house but he called Jimin to indirectly ask where Y/n is. And Jimin said she is not there.

He shook his head. She disappears like this when she is mad at him.

Jungkook sighed and shook his head. “Now I have to look for you like a treasure hunt.”
