Taehyung's 1st Person POV

Tonight is Y/N's work Christmas party. We just made it to the location, which happens to be the Rainbow Room.

I remember hearing about the Rainbow Room on tv shows and films and have always wanted to visit the well-known location. And, thanks to Black Swan Publishing, Y/N and I are now here to enjoy live jazz music, indulge in champagne and mingle with her colleagues.

I'll admit, I'm not looking forward to most likely running into Yoongi. But, since he is technically Y/N's boss, I will try my best to be cordial to him.

Y/N did tell me about what happened a month ago, when Yoongi drunkenly showed up at our apartment in the middle of the night while I was still in Paris. She told me all about how she thought it was a neighbor at the door, with an emergency. But, instead, it happened to be her ex at the door, confessing to her that he missed her. She relayed to me how she had told him how his unexpected visit made her uncomfortable especially since he's her boss. I'm grateful that he didn't push it any further and left the building.

Y/N informed me that the next time he saw her at work, he approached her and apologized for the visit. He told her that when  he looked back at it, it was inappropriate for him to visit her at that late hour. He promised her that their relationship will be strictly professional between them.

Since then, I would ask Y/N if it's been awkward with Yoongi around the office. She said that thankfully he's kept his word and has remained professional while they are in the office. She said if anything did happen, she would tell me, but she assured me that it's all just been business with him.

All that being said, I still just don't want to be around the man. I can't  be sure and trust that he's completely over Y/N. But, there's not much I can do. I trust Y/N and I know she loves her position at her job, so all I can do is be supportive of her career.

As soon as Y/N and I enter the Rainbow Room, the head receptionist, Becca, and her husband, Jamie, approach us.

"Y/N! Wow! You look stunning!" Becca squeaks out as she steps up to hug my girlfriend.

Becca is definitely right. Y/N is stunning tonight. Well, she's always stunning in my eyes, but tonight, she's shining bright in a black, sequined, form fitting long sleeve dress, with a high, modest neckline, and the skirt ending right above the knees, showcasing her gorgeous legs.

"Thank you, Becca! As do you!" Y/N gleefully replies back to the receptionist. Y/N doesn't introduce Becca and her husband to me because we all know each other well enough at this point. Y/N and Becca have grown close that we've all been on a couple double dates together. They're a great couple to be around and I admire the friendship that she's developing with Becca.

The four of us decide to stick together as we roam around the giant space. A waiter comes by with a tray of champagne in flute glasses and we all gladly take a flute.

A few minutes pass, and Y/N seems to be enjoying colleagues approaching her and proudly introducing me to them all.

While Y/N is talking to Stan, a man in his 60s, who was a mentor to her when she used to be an intern at Black Swan, along with his wife, I get a tap on my shoulder. When I turn around, I see Yoongi standing before me with a friendly smile. Y/N is so engrossed in her conversation with Stan and his wife that she doesn't turn around.

"Taehyung, do you mind if I speak to you for a moment. It won't take long I promise." I reluctantly nod at Yoongi and follow him to a section of the place that isn't completely packed.

"What is it you wanted to speak to me about, Yoongi?" I ask him as I shove my feee hand in the pocket of my dress pants. My other hand holds on to the glass of champagne. If he says anything to upset me, I need to control myself and not punch him or pour champagne on his head.

"Knowing Y/N, I'm sure she told you about me coming by your apartment a month ago. I just wanted to apologize not just to her, but to you. I admit, I regret calling it off with Y/N in the past. I thought it would be easy to move on for me, but it wasn't. I just thought it was necessary when I had to move for my last job position. I know that she has moved on. And honestly, now that I've had time to think about it, I'm happy that she is with someone like you. I've known you as her friend and I know that you both mean the world to each other. You two make complete sense together. I know that you would give her everything that she deserves and more. So again, I'm sorry. I really wish you both the best."

I'm shocked he's saying these words to me but I can tell he's being sincere. And, at this moment, I can understand where he's coming from. "Yoongi, I appreciate you apologizing.  That honestly means a lot. I understand it must have been hard for you. If I were in your position, I would have done anything to get Y/N back. And, I know that you treated her with the utmost love and respect back when you were together. I know you meant well."

"Yeah, well, I didn't mean to try to get in the way. You're a good man, Taehyung. Just make her happy." He gives me a smile that I can tell is genuine through the way he's looking at me and he gently pats me on the shoulder.

"I plan on it." I tell him, giving him a similar friendly smile, and he turns and walks away. Moments later and Y/N comes shuffling over to me.

"Um, I just saw you talking to Yoongi. What was that a bout?" Y/N asks while worriedly looking at me.

"Babe, it wasn't anything bad. He just felt like he had to apologize to me and told me he's happy that we are together," I tell her and she looks surprised at what she's hearing me say.

"He told you that?" Her cute eyes are as wide as saucers.

"Yes, he said that if it couldn't be him, he's content knowing that you're with someone who could treat you with just as much care and love." I tell her and playfully clink my champagne glass against hers.

"Wow," she utters out. "He is right. You do make me feel all the love, Tae," Y/N wraps her arms around my neck, making me gently place my hands on her back.

I will love this woman for as long as I live.

She came into my life when we were young. I never thought we would remain in each other's lives for this long. But, I'm beyond grateful that she's still in my life.

I really can't imagine my life without her.
