Boss With Love (Kim Taehyung)
TEN

A drizzling sound entered Yoo Ra's hearing room as she began to wake up. The first thing he saw once he opened his eyes was a digital clock on the nightstand that still showed the number five. It squirms small, scraping a few times to adjust.

It's too early to start the day. Especially out there, the weather seems to prevent anyone from moving from the dispute. Same with Yoo Ra. He was tempted to re-submerge himself in the warmth of the thick blanket that now wrapped him up to the chest.

But wait a minute, please,

A blanket?

Didn't he sleep on the couch last night?

Why is there a blanket?

Even now, he was in his own room. Not in the tv room.

Could it...

Yoo Ra got up, uncovered the blanket that had covered him and quickly walked out of the room. The first thing he saw as soon as he opened the door was Kim Taehyung who was asleep on the sofa with the television still on.

Yoo Ra frowned. The wrinkle line on his forehead became clearer as his brain recalled last night's incident, when Taehyung casually accepted his offer of bases to sleep in the room. Letting himself sleep on the couch of the cold tv room, alone, without pillows and blankets.

Then now, once awake why did the opposite happen? Could it be that annoying creature that had moved him to the room? But really? It's hard to believe considering his relationship with Taehyung isn't that good.

But if it is true how? How should he behave to that man later? Should he thank you? Or just angry? because after all Taehyung is a stranger who has been presumptuous to touch him.

There was a blaze in Yoo Ra's eyes when he imagined it. But only for a moment, then it disappeared just like that when his ears heard a low growl from Taehyung's mouth. The small moving man hugged his own knee while still closing his eyes. Taehyung cold. Yoo Ra knows that.

Yoo Ra hurriedly walked into the room and returned with a thick blanket in his hand. After turning off the main light, Yoo Ra stepped slowly towards Taehyung. Turn on the lights sitting on the nightstand and turn off the television that is still on. After that he covered Taehyung's cold body with the blanket he was carrying.

Seeing the sleeping Taehyung made Yoo Ra's little smile rise just like that. Taehyung who he now sees is completely different from Taehyung who he used to see in waking condition.

Taehyung who is cold, annoying, and not much to say as if lost buried by his innocent face when asleep. His closed eyes made his handsome face even more dazzling.

Uh!

Yoo Ra hit a small head that began to think bad. After making sure Taehyung's breathing was back in order, Yoo Ra walked into the kitchen. Sipping cold water and then starting to struggle with cooking tools to make breakfast.

💜💜💜

“... Really do?... Hm... Da... All right, I'll take care of it.. Nope, no. Daepyeonim is still abroad on other matters. I'll handle the matter myself. ... Yes, thank you for helping so much..”.

Jimin sighed, threw the origin of his phone into the mattress and then pinched his temple which began to pulsate again. He is not the leader of the company, but the work has been changing to haunt him since morning blind as if he is the successor to the throne HOJIN Group.

If Jimin knew this was what it was like to be a secretary to Kim Taehyung, he would definitely prefer to continue in his father's footsteps to become a lawyer. But of course lawyers are free. Not like the path chosen by his father who even became the legal representative of the family of Kim Ho Jin. It's the same name.

A gentle knock on the door caused Jimin to shift his attention to the source of the sound. After saying “enter.”, the door swings open and features the figure of Jeon Yoo Ra carrying a tray containing breakfast for him.

“Wah.. You're awake apparently.” Yoo Ra said as soon as he saw Jimin already sitting leaning on the headboard, even though his lower body was still wrapped in a blanket.

“I'm used to getting up early every day.”

“Even when sick?”

“Not really, there was an important phone just now, and... Ah..why are you making me porridge, Yoo Ra-ssi?” Jimin asked as soon as he saw Yoo Ra put down a tray containing a bowl of porridge that was still steaming, a glass of water, and a cup of drink that was similar in color to a honey solution.

“Because you're sick, of course. Can I check your body temperature first?”

Jimin nodded. Let Yoo Ra put the thermometer on his forehead and ear canal. “But I don't like porridge when it's sick.”

“Because you prefer to eat it time in healthy condition?”

“How do you know?”

“Because I am too.” Yoo Ra replied while chuckling. “It turns out there are others who are just as strange as me. But take it easy Jimin-ssi, you'll love my congee even if you're sick.”

“Why?”

“Because my porridge is delicious and.. free!” Yoo Ra replied excitedly who immediately managed to publish a laugh on Jimin's lips.

“I thought because you would bribe me Yoo Ra-ssi?!”

“Sorry, but I don't think we're that familiar until I have to bribe you.”

“Do all medical personnel in the hospital must be familiar with their patients before they give help?”

“Do I need to call that medic you call here to feed you, Jimin-ssi?”

Jimin and Yoo Ra laughed, their strange debate this morning was enough to melt the atmosphere. I don't know why they feel closer to each other. Like two people who have been friends for a long time.

“I'll bribe you but you have to promise not to think of anything.”

“That assortment how do you mean?”

“You know exactly what I mean.” Yoo Ra said while taking a bowl of porridge from the top of the nightstand and scooping it a little on the edge. “I'll feed you like a nurse feeding her patients. Not more. So, open your mouth now.”

Jimin smiled wryly. Actually, the words he asked to be fed were only a joke. He did not expect Yoo Ra would easily respond to him.

“Jimin-ssi, don't expect to be fed by your girlfriend, she's still sleeping now. So stop looking at me and open your mouth! Aaaaaa..?”

Jimin smiles again and follows Yoo Ra's instructions to open his mouth. Before that, there was a pull in his heart. Either willing or unwilling to be fed by the chatty girl in front of him. It could be that he rejected it and said ‘requesting being fed up' which just now was nothing more than a joke. But Jimin did not do so and chose to follow Yoo Ra's will.

But I don't know why there was something strange once he confronted Yoo Ra. Everything related to Yoo Ra was always interesting to him. All the principles and limitations he created seemed to evaporate.

Bizarrely.

Though come to think of it, Yoo Ra is not a special girl like a noble daughter, or a conglomerate heir to the throne like Kim Taehyung. Even she was not a brilliant brained girl who conquered the world with her new theory. She is also not a class actress Song Hye Kyo who is great in her career and her beauty is inedible with age.

Yoo Ra is not all that. Yoo Ra is just an ordinary girl whose entire simplicity Jimin knew from the start. Yoo Ra's background from A to Z has Jimin cantongi through documents he got from Namjoon, as they decide Yoo Ra's house as a temporary hideout for Taehyung.

Butwhy?

Why is Yoo Ra so simple it is able to break down the solid principle of Jimin that he painstakingly built long ago?

“Completed.” Yoo Ra said after putting the last mouthful of porridge into Jimin's mouth and then held out a glass of water as soon as Jimin swallowed his last chew. “Now tell me what you want to ask.”

“Hm? You mean?” Ask Jimin, putting a glass of water that is half-full to the side of the bowl of porridge whose contents have been unceremonious toilet.

“From beginning to end, you keep looking at me while daydreaming. There's something you want to ask me, isn't there?”

There are. There are many things that Jimin wants to ask. How was Yoo Ra's life before he became a radio announcer? How does an orphan girl seem to be able to finance her sister's school to college, even when she and her sister have experienced what is called ‘starvation’? How can a girl who is supposed to be sitting sweet at home as a teenager have to trade her playtime by being a part-time worker in more than three different places? How could a teenage Jeon Yoo Ra grow up to be as mature, strong, and great as he is now?

“Why are you so good?”

“What?”

“Why are you so nice, Yoo Ra-ssi?” Repeat Jimin.

Yoo Ra seemed to think, before long his head nodded as if he understood Jimin's intentions. “So now you're moved because I just bribed you?”

Jimin chuckles. “Not that. You're good at everything. And I envy you.”

Yoo Ra was silent again. His brain was trying to capture what Jimin was really saying. And Yoo Ra comes to the conclusion that Jimin is just melancholy from being sick. It's so sorry Park Jimin.

“Where to?” Jimin asked to see Yoo Ra rise up with a tray full of bowls and glasses of water in his hand.

“No need to take medicine anymore, your fever has gone down. Instead, drink the red ginger water and honey I brought. You will recover soon after drinking it. And if you're still wondering where I'm going" Yoo Ra held up the tray in his hand. “I have to return this to the kitchen. And yes, there are two more grown men like you outside, which I still need to take care of.”

Jimin chuckled but nodded anyway. Leaving Yoo Ra's back further away and missing behind the door.

💜💜💜

At the dinner table, no one made a sound. Only the sound of eating utensils that occasionally sound understated.

Taehyung who looks difficult to use his chopsticks and finally gave up. Put the chopsticks and prefer to use a spoon to make it easier.

While Yoo Ra, he was seen eating his breakfast quietly while praying that time goes faster. She can't wait for her date later in the afternoon.

Jungkook is different again. He prayed that time could be in slow motion for a while, so that he could finish his breakfast before Jin Goo came. Yeah, his friend just sent him a message that he was on the way to pick him up and go to the office together.

“You're being chased by a ghost or how the hell?” Yoo Ra asked who was sultry himself to see Jungkook eating while repeatedly looking at the watch on his wrist.

Jungkook nodded, swallowing his food in a hurry. “Jin Goo is coming to pick me up Noona.”

“Then you should wake up earlier.”

“He who was late offered me a ride.”

“Traffic in the morning is quite congested. Maybe you have a little longer until your friend's car arrives.” Taehyung said, who then sipped water somehow for how many times. He is still not used to making rice as a breakfast menu.

Yoo Ra shook his head in amazement at Taehyung's words. The young master thought all his employees were leaving in private cars every day? Oh my...

Jungkook chuckled, choosing to pour back the water in Taehyung's nearly empty glass. “My friend is not Hyeong's rich man, he picked me up by motor, not car.”

“Taxi then. So you can have breakfast quietly without having to catch up on time.”

Jungkook laughs again, “If anything is free, why pay, Hyeong?”

Now Taehyung who became head bobbles saw the two brothers doing high five while giggling. Like two people who have the same vision and mission. If you can profit, why choose a loss?

As expected, not for a long time, the sound of a motor horn from outside the house was heard. Making Jungkook immediately wake up while grabbing his briefcase.

“Noona, Hyeong, I'm leaving first.”

“Wait a minute.” Yoo Ra stood up, grabbed Jungkook's shoulder and fixed his shirt collar, and his sister's tie.

The view Taehyung had seen before in the office lobby. He smiled in a deep smile considering that this interaction was what made him misunderstand, thinking Yoo Ra was Jungkook's lover. It's their own fault that they're too affectionate for the size of a brother and sister.

Grabbing his glass, Taehyung still smiled broadly at the conversation Yoo Ra and Jungkook gave each other encouraging sentences in the morning. All of those words are fun to hear.

Until when a last sentence that came out of Jungkook's mouth managed to get into his hearing room, stuck his neck and made the white water he swallowed as if stopped in the throat.

“May your date today be fun, Noona.”

That'sallthatis. The short sentence that managed to make Taehyung coughed, spitting back the white water in his mouth cavity into the air.

Be Contiued...
