The next day I woke up early, got ready for gym and since it was cold outside I put on an oversized sweater on top and left. I told Mrs. Johnson to inform my parents that I would fetch Soul on my way back.

I went outside my house, "Good morning Ms. Kim"

"T-Taehyung?" Taehyung stood there in front of my car; I could tell he was still sleepy. He surely is a complete storage of cuteness when he's sleepy.

"You can go and sleep Taehyung. I can help myself to the gym." I said knowing he would literally jump on his bed and will fall asleep if given a chance.

"That's fine, I'll join you. I'm your personal sec-"

"Let's go. I don't want you to remind me about that every single time." I cut him off and walked past him and got inside the car. He joined me the next moment and we left.

We reached the gym and as expected and Taehyung was fast asleep in his seat. I didn't want to bother him by waking him up so I told my driver not to wake him up and wait here until I finish.

My routine was already coming to an end and I saw Taehyung looking at me through the mirror with his mouth gaped.

*Taehyung's POV*

As the bright sunshine hit my face, I slowly opened my eyes to adjust to the bright lighting. I looked around and there was nobody in the car. I quickly got off the car and looked around the place, not so far away I saw the driver standing under a tree waiting in front of a huge building which I assume is the gym. I ran towards him and looked at the building.

"This is the same gym that me and my hyungs used to go to." I said to myself as I clearly remember coming to this place with all my hyungs and my dongsaeng.

I quickly ran upstairs and when I entered the place, all the memories of the fun we had hit me. I looked around and saw a few men; they were all looking at the same direction so I looked there too only to find my boss.

Her tiny figure drenched in sweat with her hairs a little messed up as a few strands of her bangs had come down on her face. She wore a grey sports bra with high waist black leggings. Beads of sweat kept flowing slowly on her back as she was doing her squats. I saw her through the mirror then at her back; she looked so perfect even at this time. I realized that I was staring at her with my mouth gaped as she stared back at me.

"Kim Taehyung?" she yelled as she turned around.

I flinched by the sudden reaction. "Y-Yes?"

She walked near me furiously but in a slow pace. As she neared me a guy blocked her way. They were quite close to me so I could clearly hear their conversation.

"Hey, do you wanna hang out after this?" The tall muscular man asked her.

"I'm sorry, I'm not finished yet." She replied sternly.

"I can help you if you want?" the tall man said, which made me burn in fury. I stormed my way towards them.

"I can help you with a slap on your face, do you mind?" she asked with her hands folded against her chest with a brow raised at him.

"Come on baby girl, don't act so tough" he freaking called her a 'baby girl' and he pulled her by the waist.

I pulled his arm away from her and pushed him by his chest. I went and stood in front of her.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I asked him with fire in my eyes.

"Who the hell are you little guy?" he asked me back with a smirk as he tried to touch her again.

"Get your filthy hands away from her." I slapped his arm.

"What is your problem man? Is she your girlfriend?"

"She is, you've got a problem with that?" I asked. Y/n squeezed my arm as she came and stood beside me and eyed me to stop.

"That's enough. You better back off old man or I may have a complaint done against you." she spoke.

"Come with me and I'll show you how old I am, bitch!" he said yet again with his stupid smirk which made the volcano inside of me to burst open.

"You dirty little piece of shit." I stormed at him, but was stopped by Y/n as she gripped my arm with both her hands. I looked at her with a 'why?' look and she just shook her head."Stop! He doesn't deserve to be touched by your hands. Let him be in his world of imaginations." She finished as she pulled me with her to the changing room.

She let go of by hands as soon as we reached the changing room. She didn't even spare a look at me and stormed inside one of the rooms with her kit.

When she came back, her eyes were red and a little puffy. God, I'm not gonna let that bastard get away without a punch in his face. He made my little baby cry. 

That little piece of shit!

She tried walking past me but I pulled her into a hug. I don't know how I had the courage to do that, but I did it."You don't have to cry or fell bad because of some crap. His words were as meaningless as his presence on this earth." I said gritting my teeth.

"Kim Taehyung... you are crossing your limits." She said.

"I-I am s-sor-rry. I just w-"

"Let's just go from here now." She said as she left the room. I followed her but stopped my way near the reception. Since she had already gone out, I quickly got myself registered too.

I went back into the car, "What were you doing in there all this time?" she asked me with her eyes fixed outside the window. "I just got myself registered too." I said. She just nodded which is completely new because the 'normal Y/n' would question me and tell me to back off, but she didn't.

We then reached a veterinary hospital. She told me that she had her dog admitted in the hospital for a week. I was excited to meet Soul.She got out of the car and told me not to follow her. I nodded and waited for her in the car with her driver.

*Y/n's POV*

I went in and asked for Soul. The receptionist called somebody and told me to wait for few minutes. I sat on the nearest bench and patiently waited. A few minutes passed and I heard a cute little bark. I knew it was my girl, so I stood up and looked around and saw tiny little creature running towards me. The doctor let go of her leash as she hurriedly ran towards me. I picked her up and she started licking my face. The doctor just smiled at us and gave a plastic filled with her new food.

"You'll have to follow a different diet pattern from now on for her. Everything is already there in this so you just need to follow the plan." He said as he gave me the plastic bag.

"Thank you Dr. Lee. I'll take care of that." I bowed to him. I went back to the reception and paid for everything.

I went back to the car with soul still in my arms as she was fast asleep on my chest. I could already see Taehyung through the window with his hands intertwined together, a huge boxy smile and his eyes widened.

As soon as I entered the car, "Can I hold her?" he asked me like a small kid. I nodded and slowly placed Soul in his hands. She woke up as soon as he brought her close to his face.Soul was very friendly with everybody; she got along well with Taehyung. Throughout the whole ride they both played a lot.

When we got to my house, Taehyung also got off. I was curious about where his house was so I asked him, "Mr. Kim, Where is your house?"

"Are you serious? You didn't know that I lived in the house right beside yours? And why are you calling me like that?" he bombarded.

I took Soul from him and walked back to the completely ignoring him.It was embarrassing but I shrugged it off.

I surely didn't like a bit of what that man told and I would be lying if I tell that I didn't want  Taehyung's comfort at that moment. But... I didn't want him to know that I was so weak from the inside that I couldn't even handle some random bullshit.

I didn't have to go to the company today, so I took a nice refreshing shower and dozed a little as I was tired. I forgot to have my breakfast as I had taken my protein shake on the way.

It was already getting noon when I woke up. I got up and had my lunch alone. Soon I took another quick shower and started getting ready for the party.
