Y/N's POV:-
_______________
We haven't talked properly since yesterday morning. And I knew, there were thousands of misunderstandings between us.
It was almost 10 am next morning, and time to land. Sitting in a freaking non-stop 15-hour flight, my body got numb.
Safely landing, we took our car from the airport.
Wait, where should I go now? I don't have a home, nor a damn place to stay...
"I think we should freshen up first. Then get back to work?"
Taehyung spoke finally after being a statue the whole day.
"Where?"
"At my house, of course!"
He chuckled slightly, but I didn't move my face muscles at all. Taking a deep breath, I gathered all my courage to ask something.
You can do it Y/n.
"Umm...I'm sorry to ask this too early. But can I get my compensation earlier?"
He paused, as he stared at me blankly.
"I wanted to rent a room for me, but I don't have enough savings..."
He still stared.
Okay so the answer is decided.
"It's okay if you don't want to-"
"I'll ask my managers to transfer it to you today."
Wait. What?
"Really!?"
I exclaimed in joy, not being able to control my happiness.
"Miss Lee, it is a good idea to buy or rent a room from your salary. But I can directly find a luxury house and buy it for you in minutes..."
"I'm really thankful to you for that sir. But I think buying something from your own efforts, gives you the real happiness."
He hummed in response, before smiling.
"So you'll come to my home for now at least, right?"
Right, I have no other choice for now...
"Fine..."
Soon, we got out of the car and walked towards his house. Going to the room, which I stayed in previously, I had a warm bath.
It felt so good being in my home country back, finally... And now, I'll also be able to get rid of that stalker...
I've been still getting lots of messages and missed calls from Jisoo, but I decided to keep my mind away from these negative things...
Sighing, I applied my favourite shampoo and rubbed my body clean. Wrapping a bathrobe, I unpacked my suitcase to pick an outfit.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated.
No, no, no...
My heart raced against my chest, as I picked up my phone to read the notification.

My soul left my body for a second. Ahh, Thank god it's Lisa.
_________________________________________
Y/n: I'm really sorry Lisa. It was decided all of a sudden, that I didn't even get the time to talk to you...
Lisa: Ahh, I understand. It's okay. But I'll come to Korea oneday. Okay?
Y/n: Why not! I'll be waiting for you eagerly.
Lisa: Hehe.
Lisa: Okay gtg, having an urgent meeting again!
Y/n: Sure. Ttyl. Bye!
Lisa: Byee.

Smiling, I kept the phone on the bed, ready to change. The phone buzzed again.
Ugh, this girl.

Unknown: Hey.
_________________________________________
Now who tf is this!? Another unknown number?
_________________________________________
Y/n: Hi, who's this?
Unknown: You forgot me already?
_________________________________________
HELL NOO!
_________________________________________
Unknown: So you're back to Korea huh? I was waiting for you here. I came to NY just for you...
Y/n: WHO TF ARE YOU !?
_________________________________________
Panicking, I blocked the number instantly and switched off my phone. Tears brimmed down my cheek, as I sat on the bed holding my head.
Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door. I got up quickly to open it, but then glanced at myself again.
No, not the same mistake again Y/n...
Wiping my tears off, I quickly took out a white crop top and black ripped jeans. Wearing them in no time, I opened the door.
Ah I look so weird, with that messed up wet hair!
"Yes?"
"Are you ready?"
"For what?"
Duh, of course for work Y/n!
Taehyung watched me with narrowed eyelids, leaning on the door frame.
"Are you okay? Did you cry?"
"Huh? N-No?"
I came into reality once more, staring at him emptily.
"Is something or...someone bothering you?"
I gulped in nervousness, staring at the carpet.
Should I? Or should I not?
Sighing, he fixed his posture.
"Fine. If you don't want to, then I'm leav-"
"Wait!"
He looked back at me with shining eyes, as I bit my lip in nervousness.
"I...I need to f-find someone..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'll help you find him. Don't worry. Just don't go alone anywhere. Okay?"
"Hmm. You too."
"Don't worry about me. He won't do anything to me. I'm fine."
I nodded in agreement, before he patted my head softly.
Butterflies.
These small gestures do give you butterflies, when you're really in love...
"It's afternoon now. We'll have our lunch then get back to work."
"Okay."

I was sitting on my desk, scanning important files. All of a sudden, I remembered something.
The corner of my lips automatically curved up, as I hung my head low blushing and smirking.
*(*That video of Taehyung, Ik you guys thought about that. 😏 And if you don't remember, there's the gif for you guys up there 👆🏻)*
She called me my man, while protecting me from that stalker's actions.
MY MAN.
Like seriously.
She thinks I'm hers. She likes me too.
Ahhh.
A chuckle left my mouthed unintentionally, thinking about that chat again.
Just then, my phone buzzed.

Mochi: Taehyungah, that person is in Korea!?
Taehyung: Yeah, she told me today. And tbh it is shocking. He went to NY especially to follow her!
Mochi: Woahh. That's crazy!
Taehyung: Ikr. Such a bastard.
Mochi: Calm down calm down. We'll find him.
Mochi: Yah, does he know Y/n? I mean is he someone familiar with her?
Taehyung: I'm not sure...
Mochi: Then ask him! Take information from him as much as you can. This is the time.
Taehyung: You're right. We'll try to fool him though texts and see if he gives any clue by chance.
Mochi: Hmm. Just don't be a fool trying to fool him.
Taehyung: Oh shut up. And what about the police? Did they found any more proofs?
Mochi: Not yet. The investigation is going on. They said they'll let us know as soon as they find it.
Taehyung: Great. So, as per our information, the suspect is now in Korea, right?
Mochi: Maybe, yes?
Taehyung: I'll file a case here too. So, he may have no way to escape.
Mochi: Taehyungah first confirm.
Taehyung: Yeah, I'll let you know asap.
Mochi: Sure. I'll take a nap now, more 11 hours to go.
Taehyung: Waiting. Come safely.
Mochi: Yeahh!

Sighing loudly, I glanced at Y/n, who was busy working, as she had her eyes glued to the screen, taking notes on the iPad in between.
She's truly a hardworking person.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was evening, as I received a call about the wage being transferred into Y/n's account.
"Miss Lee."
She walked towards me with the purse on her shoulder, ready to leave.
"Yes?"
"I've transferred the compensation into your account."
"Oh! But I didn't even write a letter or something-"
"It's all on me."
She paused, as her eyebrows raised up in excitement.
"Thank you so much sir!"
She smiled widely, while bowing. It made me smile. Checking the time, I packed my belongings and stood at the door.
"So... where are you going to stay?"
My heart beat rapidly, as the anxiety hit me.
"Uh..."
She looked around, thinking.
No please. Don't leave me. Don't go alone.
My eyes pierced into hers, watching her with hopeful gaze.
"Maybe...umm..."
No Y/n. Stay. Please Stay...
"I'm sorry but-
Aish, fine if she wants to lea-
Can I stay at your house for few more days, until I get my own one?"
WHAT.
My face suddenly lit up, as a smile formed on my face.
"I mean- I feel safe there, after all those incidents..."
"Sure. You can stay as long as you wish."
Relax Tae, don't show your excitement.
I sighed.
"Let's go then?"
She hummed in response, before we walked towards the car.
"Listen. I have a little plan for finding him."
She looked at me with widened eyes, before gasping.
