Will I be able to forget you?

I try so hard, but it's still so hard.

══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══

Taehyung was unnaturally worried because he knew the girl and her colleague would be here this morning. He has already delegated a staff meeting to the main meeting room on the second floor. He must finish all the details for the upcoming student exhibition and return the two girls to Denmark as soon as possible. He doesn't want to keep 'her' around for too long.

But as he sat in his office, finalizing the most important meeting points on the agenda, his heart raced erratically inside his chest. Hopefully, his Museum Director would take over the exhibition and deal with Choi Cha-young.

He and this "hellraiser" couldn't possibly be friends. That is extremely difficult to comprehend. His entire life appears in disarray, and no one wants to give him straight answers. Although he does not like hearing about Ms. Choi, his friends clam up whenever her name is mentioned. Most of the time, Jimin wants to tell him something, but he purses his lips and dismisses him. His PA knocked on the door, and he let her in. She looks unusually ecstatic. He wonders what has her in such a state.

"Er, good morning, Mr Kim...er, Miss Choi Cha-young and Ms Olive Jensen have arrived," he furrowed his brows. "Should I let them come to you or send them to the meeting first?"

"Good morning, Soo-ah...er, let them first meet the staff. Let Ms. Hak welcome them. I will see you shortly," Taehyung said, shaking his head.

"Alright, sir. I'll do so. Mr. Ahn is already engaging with Ms. Choi. We are so excited that Ms. Choi is back with us after three months away. Gosh, we miss her-'

Taehyung furrowed his brows, perplexed, and quickly interrupted her," Okay, Soo-ah. I'm aware of her presence. Please check on our guest and allow Ms. Hak to begin the meeting. Thank you very much."

Soo-ah blushed slightly at her obvious delight at Ms. Choi's return, but she nodded and left the office, closing the door softly behind her.

Taehyung sighed deeply as he reclined in his chair and briefly closed his eyes. Even his employees were excited about Cha-young. Had she already enchanted his staff?

He sat quietly in his office, his head resting on his hands, wondering how his and Ms. Choi's reunion would go. All he knew was that he didn't want her near him or his museum, but due to Flippen's memory loss, he had to make a deal with Mr. Hansen.

He sighed and stood up to meet his staff. This would be the longest two weeks in his domain. He received a notification on his phone. When he saw Dilrabas' name, he furrowed his brow deeply. He was still friendly with his ex and had not decided whether or not to restart their relationship.

Both Jimin and Jungkook oppose him taking Dilraba back into his life. They advised him to wait for his memories and the reason he left Dilraba in the first place to return. He is still mystified that he fell out of love with her. He is shocked that he does not experience butterflies or any other excitement with Dilraba.

It's as if the memories he shared with her vanished in those six months. She is determined to win him back. Taehyung sighed as he stepped into the elevator for the second floor. Because the museum is not yet open to the public, he set up a meeting schedule for all his employees to attend-Cha-young, who is back.

There was a buzz of excitement in the meeting room. The team greeted you warmly. You smile with relief at their delight at seeing you again. You've been missing them terribly. You've been gone for three months.

When it was time for the staff meeting to begin, your heart beat frantically. An older man, probably in his 50s, with sleek grey-black hair combed into waves and dressed in a grey suit, appeared new to the team. He just sat there with a big grin, staring at Me Hak, the head of this museum/gallery.

You smirked inwardly, thinking that the divorced and single Ms. Hak had found a new admirer.

According to your other gallery friend, Soo-ah, Mr. Nam Chan is the newest Head of Exhibitions. Olive was overjoyed to return to the company of many friendly Koreans who welcomed her. They were curious about Hansel, who had not accompanied the young curators this time.

Ms. Hak was addressing the group and formally welcomed the Danish representatives. You smile softly and bow as the team acknowledges your presence by clapping their hands. When the young guys on the team holler your names, Olive can only giggle.

Ms. Hak stressed the upcoming exhibition, congratulated the team on a successful Egyptian exhibition for schools, and expressed her desire to see a more successful Egyptian exhibition for university students.

Everyone was thrilled, but your nerves were frayed as you wondered why Mr Kim shone so brightly in his absence. You wish he were in another meeting so that you could postpone your inevitable meeting.

But that hope was dashed when the meeting door opened, and the handsome CEO entered. There was an immediate change in the atmosphere. He exudes absolute power, and his presence is felt.

Your heart skips a beat when you see your sexy ex-fiance. You can't take your eyes off him. A painful tug enters your heart as you realize how much you missed him and how wonderful it was to see him in his glorious form; it makes you love him even more.

His gaze wanders over the group as everyone stands up and greets him with a respectful bow.

He nodded at Ms. Hal and thanked her for starting the meeting, gesturing for her to sit. Her eyes sparkled as she posed at the end of the row. His gaze is drawn to You and Olive, but you can tell from his emotionless facial expression that his eyes are burning on you.

You sat with bated breath, wondering if he'd call you out snidely or be extra cold. But you were surprised that his emotions were suppressed this time, which surprised not only Olive but also the staff, who were aware of your volatile relationship.

But you are familiar with your ex. Something sinister lurks behind those intense eyes, waiting to be unleashed at a more convenient time. You feel relieved when you exhale softly. At the very least, he warmly welcomed the two of you back to Korean soil. He hoped you would benefit significantly from this collaboration with Kim Contemporary Art Gallery.

He reminded his staff of their roles in his gallery after greeting them.

His eyes will constantly dart in your direction as he speaks. You take a painful gulp as your gaze briefly locks on his. His breathing became laboured as he noticed your lovely, soft porcelain skin, enhanced by the bloodred top that sexily hung over your shoulders. He had a strange "feeling" of wanting to caress those slender arms. He shook his head, startled by the sudden surge of emotions. What the hell! He turned, and his eyes roamed over the rest of the staff as he carried on with his address.

"Staff, this exhibition with various top Sky universities will be our most advanced exhibition with SK's top unis. Let us all work collaboratively to make it a huge success. Remember, our primary goal as a gallery is to preserve, share, and bring together the most significant exhibits, objects, and artefacts known to human history...we are not only here to enjoy the past and educate and enrich our people..."The staff enthusiastically clapped their hands.

"Gosh, your ex is lækker (hot), that deep, sultry voice," Olive smirks as she turns to face you.

She muttered something in Danish. His good looks and velvety voice had her spellbound.

You shook your head. And you motioned for her to pay attention. You think about your time in his arms, whispering sweet nothings in your ears, and your mind almost travels to uncharted places.

Those times appear to be images from a far-fetched life. He hates you again, and with his memories choosing to forget you, you'll never get his love back. Your feelings for him must remain a secret at all times.

You sigh dejectedly and return your attention to the alluring speaker. You can't take your gaze away from him. His captivating eyes and voice make your breath tremble as you gaze at his muscular frame, dressed in an expensive designer suit. Oh, my goodness. Taehyung is breathtaking.

"...so, once again, we expect the most exciting and creative exhibits from our exhibition designers, Seulgi and Sunwoo. You did well with the previous exhibit. "He trailed off, congratulating his staff.

Your gaze was drawn to the two young exhibition designers, and you are sure you and Olive, as well as their in-house curators, will collaborate with them.

They appear to be entertaining. You were wondering where Yoo-Yun, a designer you knew, was.

Seulgi is a single 32-year-old girl who is very focused and creative, and Sunwoo, her teammate, is a 28-year-old loudmouth.

He always laughs at ridiculous things. However, they are a dynamic duo.

Then Mr Taehyung focused on you and Olive, saying, "Our two additional curators, Ms Olive and Ms...er Cha-young, will work directly under Mr Nam, who will be the direct overseer of the creations, so I hope you'll work well under his management for the duration of the project for the next two weeks." His stare was in your direction.

You and Olive are both aware of the flirty Mr. Nam. You feel anxious with Taehyun's glances at you. His scrutiny has made you jittery, and the tension in your body has caused your shoulder and arm to ache. You mentally reminded yourself to take some pain reliever. You lightly rub your abdomen instinctively. You're hoping that your anxiety hasn't affected your butterfly.

Mr. Kim smiled slightly and said, "Okay, thank you, that'll do for today." Since you are still new to this area, Ms. Jensen, we'll show you a guided tour of our extended gallery wing by one of our museum educators. Ma-Ri, would you like to have the honour of giving Ms Jensen a tour--" He nodded and gestured to a tall, slender woman in her twenties. Her hair was bright pink as if she were a kpop star. She has a vibrant smile, unable to hide her delight at the two Danish curators.

Olive seems ecstatic about the prospect of a guided tour. She fixed her gaze on you, who remained seated with a puzzled expression. Why can't you join them?

Olive grinned, "Oh, this is thrilling. This structure is stunning... Cha-young. Okay, I'll text you when we're finished."

Mr. Kim's voice almost echoed as he addressed you: "Ms. Choi, may I speak with you briefly after the meeting? Please come to my office. Mr. Hansen wants you to look into some details." His voice is cold but professional. You appear emotionless in his blank expression, inhaling deeply and nodding.

He turned around, disregarding you further, and he and Soo-ah exited the meeting room after a few words to his top management. You briefly closed your eyes, hoping the scenario would not repeat itself.

Olive, who was already standing next to the tour guide-museum educator, started to look at you with concern.

"Will you be alright? vil du vaere ?" She inquired in Danish. You shook your head and looked warily into her azure blue eyes. You're not okay.

"Just let me go before a war breaks out." You grudgingly stood up, took your bag, and greeted all your colleagues still standing around, ready to go to their stations or departments.

Before you walk out the door, Mr. Nam greets you with a wide smile."I'm overjoyed to finally meet you, Cha-young. I've heard nothing but good things about you. I am confident that we will get along well."

You nod and smile. "I know we will, and I appreciate your hospitality. Please excuse me; I need to see the boss." With a nervous demeanour, you wave and walk to the door.

You inhaled deeply and knocked softly until a soft, deep voice could be heard when you arrived at the top floor and stood in front of the dreaded office.

"Enter.."

You hesitantly open the door and walk in.

Then your gazes locked...

A/n Another update. I hope you like it. Cha-young and Mr. Kim met again.

Thank you so much for all the reads, votes, and comments.

1. Do you believe Taehyung will make it unbearable for her so she can flee sooner?

2. Is it good for her to visit his parents to see Tannie?

3. Is it necessary for her to reveal the truth to Jimin, her confidante?
