Memories of the past make the tears flow
And it doesn't stop

Olive knocked softly on your open bedroom door, and her azure blue eyes shone as she peered at you in front of the floor-length mirror, smoothing your glossy hair over your shoulders. She was holding a mug of coffee and dressed beautifully for the moment. A brown tiny dress suit with cream-white leather boots. Her brown hair is pulled back into a high ponytail.

"Godmorgen, dejlige dame .Good morning, lovely lady," She said. "Hvad er dine tanker om denne dejlige morgen. What are your thoughts on this beautiful morning?" She chuckled, her blue eyes scrunching.

You let out a little snort. " I appreciate you being with me yesterday. The headaches were excruciating. I was unable to open my eyes. Olive", You turned back and gave her a mournful expression."I don't believe I can stand being around Tae for much longer. Looking into his chilly eyes is quite tricky. I really can't take it anymore... I will sort through those artefacts and documents and book a flight back to Denmark. I'm under severe stress, the doctor stated, and I think I need the air on home ground." You took her cup of coffee and sipped it, smiling contentedly.

"You look elskværdig adorable today, Cha. You look great in that long pastel blue jersey dress with your black leggings and knee-length boots." She admires your small, yet very slim, posture. You'd lost a lot of weight, which isn't suitable for your current situation.

You let out a deep sigh."True, but my hips have begun to grow a few centimetres. I expect to start showing in about a month. I can't inform his Bangtan Elite group about my situation. Jimin and Jungkook will spill the beans and inform Taehyung. How will I keep our baby a secret if I don't leave, Olive?" You pursed your lips as you stared at her with sad eyes. You just shook your head and wiped the corners of your eyes with your finger.

Olive approached you and embraced your shoulders in a backhug.

"Stay strong, best friend. He will regain his memory in due time."She attempts to console you.

"It's been nearly four months, Olive. I love him so much that every time I look at his beautiful face, I miss our time together," For a brief moment, you pressed your eyelids shut. "It's so difficult, Olive. It hurts to see him with Dilra. I can't do it any longer. He genuinely hates me. Do you remember how difficult it was to regain each other's trust a few months ago? ---"

"Hmm...and your make-up was legendary...omg, his staff didn't even know you two were fooling around under their noses," She laughed out loud.

You only gave a small smile."We felt like celebrities hiding their dating from the press."

It feels like aeons of eternity.

You take the final sip from your mug and pick up your white tote bag. "Let's go before we are accused of being tardy."

"Let me grab my handbag, and we're ready. Please remember to bring your pain meds. And stay tranquil today," she advised.

You merely groan and nod as you follow her out of your room. You've decided Olive can live at your apartment for the next few weeks while you're away.

This early in the morning, the gallery or museum was silent. However, you and Chloe observed the executives' vehicles parked beneath the designated carports.

Mr. Nam Chan, the Exhibitions Manager, greeted you girls at the bottom of the stairs with a wide smile. In a brown-striped suit, he looked impressive. He wore a crimson bow tie. His dazzling, gelled, wavy 1950s haircut made you want to snort.

"Good morning, ladies. Wow, you're up early today." He said welcome to you in English. You greet him by bowing deeply before him.

"Good day, Mr. Nam. You look amazing today," Olive commented with a slight smirk.

"Oh. Seulgi and Sunwoo are ecstatic to get started on the exhibition room design. Ms. Choi, you are energized and radiant this morning. How are you doing?" With curiosity, he inquired.

You smile gently. "I'm fine, Mr. Chan, and I appreciate your interest. I'm delighted the designers are excited to get started. In which studio will we set up?" you inquire with newfound zeal.

"Oh, it'll be across from the high and middle school Egyptian exhibit. We relocated the nursery and primary school exhibits near the entrance and added a play park, reading area, and game area." He gestured around as you walked with him up the stairs.

Olive turned when she saw you strolling behind her. "Are you alright, Cha? You looked exhausted."

As you climbed up the stairs with him, he gestured around.

You just chuckled uneasily and waved her away. I'm just slightly out of shape.' You attempted to reassure her, but all you felt was a strain on your shoulder. But you only put on a brave face.

When you arrive at the potential exhibition area, you are surprised to see Seulgi and Sunwoo working quietly on the wall, putting up the golden pharaoh's replica plaques.

"Girls, if you need anything, I'll be in my office-excuse me," Mr. Chan said, bowing and hurriedly striding away to his office. he saw Ms. Hak walking through a hallway.

You greeted him with a smile.

Your gaze was transfixed by the Egyptian wallpaper on the walls and the large mummy in the centre. You send them your ideas for where the ancient pottery, clothing, medicine, and papyrus scripts should go. You're hoping the gallery will look good with the borrowed Egyptian treasures.

"Good morning, colleagues..." Olive cheerfully greets you. She goes to the glass displays to examine the relics. She strokes the glass boxes while staring at the antiques. When they notice you, the two designers turn and bow excitedly.

"Hello, Cha-young. I'm delighted to see you this morning."Sunwoo is flustered. With a sly grin, Seulgi stared at him.

She muttered next to him, "Way too subtle, Sunwoo."

He squinted his eyes at his colleague and said, "You're hilarious, Seulgi. But she's beautiful-just my type," he replied softly. His gaze caressed your pale, creamy, flawless face and that gorgeous silky hair in smooth waves. Gosh, Ms. Choi is hot!

She smiled."Do you remember who she belonged to a few months ago?" she muttered.

She and Soo-Ah had a theory about Ms. Choi and Mr. Kim. They once caught the two fiercely making out in the archive office, even though they fought like cats and dogs. Mr. Kim kissed her passionately, and Ms. Choi clung to him like a drowning monkey. It was the best view until Sunwoo spotted them peering like two peeping toms. When Sunwoo saw the two girls discreetly watching the two senior staff members, she and Soo-Ah had to threaten him.

Sunwoo had a tremendous crush on the young curator, and they had to swear him to silence when they found out. But, following that day, their handsome CEO and Cha-young behaved too coolly in one another's company as if nothing had happened in the archives a few days earlier.

Cha-young beamingly smiled, "Hello, Sunwoo and Seulgi.The setting seemed fantastic. You've been busy these last few days."

Seulgi smiled. "Hey, it does. The historian will present his first conference room presentation at 9:00 a.m. For the first session, three history faculties from universities will visit. Yonsei, Seoul, and Korea Unnies will be the first to participate."

"Wow" is all you can say. This exhibition is already a success.

Sunwoo's eyes gaze deep into yours. "Our first presentation sold 450 tickets for the first session, and at 10:00, we have 580 tickets booked. Consider that we do more than eight presentations every day.

"That is a huge success. Mr. Hansen will be overjoyed," you respond calmly.

You and Olive began assisting with the displays and pinning information to the artefact cases.

You had been working for nearly an hour. By 9:00 a.m., the gallery was packed with students and lecturers. By 10:00 a.m., the Egyptian Exhibition will be open. You're relieved it looked fantastic as if you'd been transported to ancient Egypt.

As she placed the clay pots on the exhibition table, Seulgi grinned. "I'm off to get my first cup of coffee and a sour cream bagel. Sunwoo, are you coming? Olive---Cha?"

Sun Woo gazed where you and Olive stood, wiping the glass cases.

"Er, you may go so long... I want to speak with Cha," he said, his brow furrowed.

Seulgi was shaking her head regretfully. "How pathetic can you get? Okay, I'll see you later at the presentation." In her black flats, she turned around and waved to all of you.

He came over to the girls, his gaze fixed on the fresh face of Cha-Young.

The two girls were softly conversing while taking photographs for brochures and their website.

"Hi, Cha," he said with a smile. You turned to face the tall guy. Sun Woo has a charming smile and a big mouth.

"Heya Sunwoo," you chirped to the charming designer. Olive raised her eyes as she noticed his uneasy mood. She struggled to suppress a chuckle at the guy's failure to hide his admiration for her lovely friend.

Olive smiled and reached for her camera. "Er, I will take Seulgi up on her offer of coffee and bagels. See you later. You can finish taking images for the part with the antique clothes; make sure they're taken from all perspectives. I'll put it up in our Egyptian section online." You furrowed your brows as she just winked at you.

You merely shrugged and headed to the garment exhibit, staring at a nervous Sunwoo, who followed you quietly.

"Do you want to ask me something, Sunwoo?"You raise your brows, curious.

"Cha, erm, what are you doing tonight? Would you?---" Just then, a figure in the opening cleared their throat. Taehyung stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking at you two with questioning eyes. His eyes sparked with a distinct emotion.

Sunwoo grew restless as he stared at his unimpressed boss.

You took a deep breath as you gazed at your handsome "fiancé." Your breath hitched at his intense stare. Taehyung look mesmerizing in his black Armani suit, adorned with a white silk shirt . He made you breathless.

"Oh , alright"

When he entered your vicinity poor Sunwoo got unnerved by his boss unexpected presence.
" Good morning Mr Kim," he said bowing politely.
You felt regretful for Sunwoo. Taehyung is very intimidating, and tye mere sight of him can make anyone loose their train of thought.

"Aren't you supposed to assist the historian with his presentation, Sunwoo?" He raised an eyebrow at Sunwoo, and his gaze was drawn to you. Who suddenly looked around uneasily.

Sunwoo gives you a sorrowful grin before saying, "Er, talk to you later, Cha," and bowing slightly in your direction. You just nodded.

"I'll see you later, Sunwoo. I'm just going to finish taking photos for Olive." Taehyung furrowed his brow at your beautiful grin at Sunwoo. He doesn't understand why he became irritated when he saw Sunwoo with Cha-young. What is it about her that enchants everyone around her? Sunwoo appeared to be head over heels in love with her. Even if he hates her guts, she is unquestionably gorgeous.

Sunwoo vanished from the scene in an instant.

Taehyung raised his head and locked his gaze on yours. Even if you were wearing a jersey dress, the intensity of his stare made you shudder. You stared at him immobile, not understanding why the air around you thickened. His very presence makes you uneasy.

He approached you slowly as you stood with bated breath against the mummy's glass case. You grew uncomfortable as he approached you. You got instantly uneasy as he came and stood virtually in your personal space, his narrowed eyes fixed on you. You merely stood there, perplexed as to why his eyes had a weird glitter.

Taehyung removed his hand from his pocket and placed it on his lip, staring at you intently.

"What is it about you, Cha-Young? That looked so appealing that you had Jimin, Jungkook, and my staff falling over to defend you," he remarked, puzzled.

I was your true love, Taebunny...you wanted to scream. But you stare at him.

You take a deep breath. "They are also friends of mine, Mr Kim. How many times do I have to tell you that because of our buried grudges, your friends made peace with me, and we became acquainted over the six months I worked here?" you gently state, looking him straight in the eye. Are you such a witch that no one must like you?

He exhaled loudly as his arms unexpectedly leaned against the glass, trapping you between his arms. Your eyes widen as you audibly gasp. Please, Lord, you don't know how you'll keep strong with him in such proximity, you begged inwardly.

His eyes burned into yours, as though he were seeking direct answers by reading you. He suspects she knows more about their ostensibly unexpected friendship.

"Cha-young, nothing adds up with you...why do I still feel you're keeping something crucial from me? You and I have never agreed on anything. Tell me, are you and Jimin dating?" his gaze was drawn to yours. In shock, your jaw dropped open. Are you dating his best buddy? He's his playboy best friend. Is he insane?

"W...what the hell, Taehyung!...Mr Kim. Where did you get that ridiculous idea?" you cried out, stunned.

"Because he always defends the girl who made my uni life a living nightmare...and you made him like you!" He spits it accusingly out with restrained rage, his face almost in yours. Your noses almost touch, and you hold your breath as your heart begins to flurry. His frantic breath fanning in your face, his stunning ebony eyes locked on yours.

You had to forcefully resist your desire to wrap your arms around his waist and pull his body closer to you, kissing him senselessly. You could see him painfully gulp as he moved his gaze from your wide eyes to your half-open, rosy lips. The immediate effect that you have on him is unmistakable. You're attempting to regulate your breathing. His seductive cologne tantalized your senses, and if he doesn't leave you right now, your desire for him will become unbearable...

You had the sudden courage to place your palm on his chiselled chest, and you could feel his heart beating. It had the same effect on you, and just as you were about to shove him out of your personal space, you both heard a sharp breath intake---

A/n: Taehyung and Cha-young found themselves in an uncompromising situation.
