Attraction || Kim Taehyung

5. Condition

"Yah, the last bell finally rang so we can go home but why do you look so dead?" Jiyoo's friend, EunAe, commented.

"Nothing..." Jiyoo replied as both of them make their way to the school's gate.

"Are you still stressed out about the guy that you punched?" EunAe laughed, knowing she was right from the way her friend looks.

"Ahhh don't even y'all about him, I barely started working there and now I'm fired because of him."

"Was he at least handsome?"

"I guess." A part of Jiyoo hate to admit it, but Taehyung was perhaps one of the most, if not the most, handsome guy she has seen.

"Oh my god..."

"What?"

"I bet whoever you talk about... won't be as handsome as HIM!" EunAe pointed her finger at the guy who was leaning against his sport car in front of the school's gate. His looks alone attracted a group of girls who couldn't help but gawk at his face. Not only the girls but also the male students gathered around him with envy in their eyes. Even with a crowd in front of him, Taehyung's eyes are only fixated toward one person.

"HEY YOU!" Taehyung called out to Jiyoo who wanted to run but it was too late.

"You know him?!" EunAe asked excitedly.

"Uh..." Jiyoo's head stopped working or a second and before she knew it, Taehyung was already in front of her. He grabbed her arm and started dragging her toward his car.

"Wow... her boyfriend is so handsome..."
"She's so lucky!"
"Aw, I wish I was her..."

Are these people okay? What is there to be envy of a girl who's obviously being dragged against her will!

"Hey, let go! What do you think you are doing?" Jiyoo pulled her arm away from him.

"We're attracting a lot of attention don't you think? Let's go to a cafe nearby so we can talk privately."

"I don't have anything to talk to you." What a creep! How does he know that I go to this school?

"But I do." Taehyung opened the door to the passenger seat for her.
"So get in."

"No!"

"Alright, then that must mean that you're okay with me shutting down your uncle's place, right?" Taehyung whispered to her ear, making the other clueless girls swoon.

"YOU-" Jiyoo stuttered as she couldn't stop herself from panicking.

"If you don't want to go with me then you can leave now," Taehyung smirked, knowing he got the upper hand.

"Fine! Fine... you better make it quick."

"So... what do you want to talk about?" Jiyoo asked as soon as they settle down in the cafe.

"You were so aggressive before, why are you so obedient now?" Taehyung grinned.

"Just hurry up so I can go home."

"You attacked and injured me, aren't you going at least to take responsibility?"

"Don't make stuff up, I didn't attack you, it was self-defense," Jiyoo said.

"Self-defense? Listen here little girl, someone has to attack you for it to be self-defense but everyone that was there know I didn't do anything wrong. If you don't like how someone approached then you can just push them away but you can't punch them and said that it was self-defense... nobody in the court would believe you."

...in the court?... is he... SUING ME?
...AM I GOING TO JAIL?

Taehyung then lifts up his bandana, revealing the white bandage covering his wound underneath.

"Do you see this wound? I actually got stitches that night you hit me and have to stay in the hospital." Taehyung explained.

"What a crybaby," Jiyoo said under her breath.
"What do you want me to do?"

"Easy." Taehyung took out a piece of paper from his pocket and hand it to her.
"Just pay for the damage."

Jiyoo opened the paper to found out it was some sort of hospital document. Her eyes travel down to the bottom and the huge numbers made her hands tremble.

"You want me to pay... for this?" That's like 3 months worth salary... but how am I going to pay when I don't have a job anymore??

"Well, of course."

"That's absurd! You only have a small wound, it wasn't even a big surgery or anything so how can it cost this much!"

"That's because I only go to the top hospitals in this country and only stayed in vip rooms."

"But... I don't have the money to pay you... not right now." Man... why did I not accept tips back then...arghh if only I accept his $2,000 check from before, I-

"I know." Taehyung leaned closer with a happy smile on his face.
"That's why I will give you all the time in the world to pay me back."

"...really?" This.... sounds too good to be true, I'm not believing it.

"Under one condition..."

I knew it... man I hope his condition... doesn't involve...

"You have to meet up with me twice a week until you can pay me back completely."

I don't trust this asshole... who knows what he's capable of doing when we're alone. There's no way I'm agreeing!

"What if I said no?"

"Then you either have to pay me full right now, or we can meet up in court... or you can say bye bye to your uncle's workplace."
