rule 1: don't fall

chapter 2: explain

Can't argue but she was right. But i will do everything to prevent that ever, and i mean ever happening "i won't, he'll never get the chance" i said in protest "just give it a chance, you'll be fine, i'm sure he'll take great care of you, and if you play nice i won't tell your father of you being out after curfew" she said and glared a bit "touche. Touche.. Fine I'll play nice but I assure you, I won't ever love him." I said and cleaned the glass I was drinking out of and put it in the dish drying rack and made my way back up the stairs into my room and laid down to rest.

-taehyun's pov-

The drive home from dropping Beomgyu off was suffocating silence. Too quiet I almost drowned in it, why is this such a problem to me? I drive in silence all the time, this shouldn't be a problem.

I sighed to myself and continued to drive through the drowning, overbearing silence.

I walked in the door of my house and took my coat up on the rack "out late again?" my mother said from the kitchen "yeah, i tried to come back earlier." i said while sitting down and untying my shoes and placing them on the shoe rack "so are you going to explain where you were to your mother?" she said and smiled "I went to drop Beomgyu off at his house" i said "Beomgyu? Your soon-to-be husband?" she said "yes him" i said in response "ah well that was nice of you hyunie" she said "Yeah it's nothing just a ride" i said "we'll tell your poor mother about your soon to be new husband" she said and sat down next to me on the couch "well he is the same height as me, raven colored hair, soft facial features, he looks like a child" i said and chuckled a bit "yah what about his personality?" she said "stubborn, no time management what-so ever, sassy, lots of attitude" i said "so the opposite of you, well.. Besides the stubborn part" she said and laughed "yah mom" i said and made a face of disgust as she called me stubborn "well you are sometimes, ah i miss when you weren't so much like your father, hopefully this boy brings that sweet hyunie back" she said and frowned and pinched the side of my cheek "yah mom im not going to fall in love with him, there's no way" i said as protest "i'll bet you that he'll bring me my sweet and charming hyunie back" she said "yah am i not charming?" i said "of course but you were more charming when you weren't piling and piling work on top of you" she said "well the wedding is in two days no? Theres still a lot to get done so i'll have to" i said and got up "yah go rest before i send you to your grandma" she said "but isn't grandma-" i started as reality hit "yeahh so go rest up now, no more work until tomorrow" she said as i nodded and went to my room and did my nightly routine before lying down and falling asleep

-the next day-

I woke up from the long sleep that was deathly needed, and I got up and rubbed my face before going into the bathroom to wash up for the morning. I put on my work clothes and walked downstairs and put my shoes on and grabbed my coat and walked out.

I got in my car and made my way to the office

"Good morning Mr. Kang" a lady said and bowed "good morning" i said and smiled back as i made my way into my office grabbing my laptop out of my bag and setting up my work station for the day

I picked up my phone to a unknown message

[?: taehyun it's beomgyu, my dad gave me your number]

I smiled at the sudden message and logged him in my phone so i would know who it is

And responded

[good now you don't have to call my house phone]

I set my phone down and got to work

A hour or so went by, i was already becoming fed up with the work that i was currently working on because these clients in particular make everything so difficult
