2. Who Was That?

A long-ass chapter ahead 😅

"Annnnnd... Done!!!!" exclaimed a very excited Taehyung after zipping up his suitcase. It was a journey of about 4-ish hours from his home to the Park residence and so wasting no more time, he began getting ready.

20 minutes of showering later, Taehyung found himself infront of his closet without any idea of what he should wear.

"What in the name of heavens should I even wear!??!" He whined.

After a lot of questioning and quarrelling with his inner self, he finally chose an outfit that suited him perfectly.

Grabbing his suitcase, locking his front door and starting his car was all that he could register before he sped through the city.

4 hours 20 mins later...

Eyes wide, mouth agape, mind blank. This perfectly summed up Taehyung's current situation. He is standing right infront of, none other than, The Park Residence. Sure, he knew the Parks ran The most successful company in the whole of South Korea and most likely would be living in a mansion but what he was standing infront of, looked like a fucking Disney Castle. "How did Soyeon even manage to get engaged to the eldest Park son?" Taehyung thought out loud. Knowing Soyeon, she was a hopeless romantic, always believed in true love yadda yadda. Binge watching those Disney movies had its effect after all. Park Bogum was known to be the heartless, cold ass mf who fired employees on the basis of their dressing sense after all. "Guess love can really change you, huh" he smiled at the thought of his Yeonie getting married to the richest business man in the country.

The hallway resonated with the sound of the bell ringing. After a few minutes of waiting, Taehyung heard faint footsteps and the front door opened revealing an unfamiliar but beautiful face.
"Yes? How can I help you?" asked the lady with a sweet voice.
"Hi... I am Kim Taehyung -"
Taehyung's words were cut off by a squeal from the lady.
"Oh my God , Taehyung, Soyeon always talks about you. Please come in. I'm sure she'll be ecstatic to learn about your arrival. Anyways, I'm Mrs. Manoban but you can call me Jennie. I work as the receptionist here" she rambled on , smiling all along.
Taehyung flashed a small smile, still overwhelmed by the fact that people (other than Soyeon) in the frikin' Park Residence knew about him.
"Come in, Taehyung. Make yourself comfortable. I'm informing Soyeon of your arrival" Jennie said and walked towards her desk, followed by Taehyung. Minutes later, he was met with a very familiar face which he longed to see.
"Taehyungie!!!!!" Soyeon exclaimed before tackling the said male in a bone-crushing hug.
"Yeonie... C-ca-n't- bre-ath-" Taehyung let out.
"Oop... Sorry hehe" said a giggling Soyeon, releasing him from the hug.
"Oh my god, Yeonie, how did all this happen and when?!!? It just feels like yesterday that we were playing cards in our dorm" Taehyung said with a fond smile playing on his lips, remembering those old times.
"Yeahhh.... I guess time and love really do change people" Soyeon said dramatically to which Taehyung huffed. "Still not over those Disney movies, are we?" asked Taehyung sarcastically.
"Never in a million years" said Soyeon with a big smile playing on her lips.
Right when Soyeon was going to say something, a voice called out to her, rather harshly.
"SOYEON!!!"
"Oh shit! Tae, I've gotta go now. We'll catch up later, I promise. Bye" Soyeon hurried up the stairs without giving Tae an opportunity to reply.
"Who was that and why did Soyeon act so weird...?" pondered Taehyung.

"Taehyung?" A familiar female voice cut off his trail of thoughts. He looked up to see Jennie.
"Hmm?" He hummed as a reply.
"You should go and rest a bit. You look really tired." Jennie said, a bit concerned.

Taehyung's heart warmed up, seeing Jennie worried about him, even though they met only a few minutes ago. Guess she really is an angel.

"Sure" he said with a smile.

"Umm Taehyung, I can't assist you to your room right now... My wife will be calling me any moment now.. Hope you understand. I'm so sorry" Jennie apologetically spoke.

"No, No.. it's fine, I understand. Just tell me where it is" said the boy.
Jennie smiled and gave him the directions to his room.

"Go up the stairs, go straight and then take a left. Room no. 204 is all yours. Here's the keys." Jennie said with a smile , handing him the keys.

"Thank you so much, Jennie. Have a good day". Taehyung replied with a smile, taking the keys from her.

Jennie just waved her hand at him with a smile.
Just then, she got a call which she recieved

"Hiiii Babe. Do you have any idea of how much I missed you?-" the voice from the other side of the phone, rambled on, while she listened to all of it with a big, fond smile on her face...

3rd Person Pov:-
"I've taken a left turn now I'll just have to- Oomph" before he could finish his sentence that he was mumbling to himself, Taehyung collided with a hard and bulky chest and landed on the floor.

"The hell! Watch where you're going" a deep voice spoke, a bit irritated.

Only now, did he look at the stranger's face and oh boy... If that wasn't the most attractive person in the whole world- (okay, I'll stop right here)

Taehyung could already feel the blood rushing to his cheeks. He held the hand offered to him and stood up.

Trust me when I say that Taehyung felt a fire igniting deep within him with the stranger's touch. He kept on staring at the sight before him.

"I know that I'm hot but you're making it really awkward for me right now. Stop staring". The stranger stated, monotonously.

This brought Taehyung out of his trance. Hearing this, Taehyung's face flushed red with embarrassment.

"I'm sor-sorry" Taehyung mentally cursed himself for stuttering.

"Afterall, who am I kidding, that's what people like you do" the stranger spat with disgust, not forgetting to roll his eyes in the process.

"What do you even mean, mister?" Taehyung asked completely clueless and also a bit hurt by the stranger's behaviour.

"Oh. Playing dumb now, are we,huh? Didn't you 'bump' into me intentionally? Attention seekers" the stranger mocked.

To say that Taehyung was hurt, was an understatement. What did he even do to receive such an awful behaviour from a stranger who didn't even know him!??! Being the sassy bitch that he is ,he snapped right back.

"Oh really? Seeking your 'attention' was not really on my bucket list but I might reconsider" he snarled, sarcastically.

"God knows how the hell did Yeonie even end up getting engaged into a house full of asshats" he mumbled, but it was loud enough for the stranger to hear.

Hearing all of it, the stranger's mouth was wide open with surprise. Partly because of the way Taehyung had snapped at him but mostly because he was curious of who and how close Taehyung must be to Soyeon to have called her Yeonie.

Satisfied with the reaction he got from the other, Taehyung resumed searching for his room, dragging his suitcase with him.

"Who the hell was that?" mumbled the stranger to himself. Wanting to find an answer, he looked back to find noone in the hallway. Unsatisfied, he left for his room, determined to find the answer to his question, the next day.
