YAZIA POV
I am standing in front of Uncle Kim's office. I got a call from him this morning to meet him first. I hope 'that thing' showed him the presentation file.
"Ya Allah! Please!! I should get approved", I prayed before knocking at his door. "Come in", I entered when I heard these words of permission. He was sitting on his chair and smiled when he looked at me. Uncle is sweet and his son... I don't know where he got that annoying behavior.
"He didn't misbehave with me except those flirty lines", a thought that came into my mind but I just tried to ignore it remembering his awful deeds. "Good morning, Yazia", Uncle said and I greeted him back and sat down in front of him on a chair.
"Your presentation was wonderful as expected." His words made me smile more happily. "Sukaar Allah! you like it I was nervous about it", I said holding my nape over my hijab as a habit. It made me proud of myself.
"You don't need to be, trust your abilities", he said, I nodded proudly. I am good no wonder. Namjoon was just trying to trouble me. I am excited to see disappointment on his face, he can't be able to stop me.
"I e-mailed Namjoon last night, I am sure he loved it too", he said and I laughed mentally. I am sure he would have loved it. That man would be shocked by all this and mad too. Just how eagerly I want to see him, to see the furious expressions.
"I hope that too Uncle, he has high standards", Uncle laughed at my words and spoke, "He for sure has high standards but my daughter's work is not less too." It made me awed he is a nice man just like Appa.
"I have one more thing to tell you, now you made this much good presentation I decided that you'll give a presentation in the meeting with clients", I look at him shocked. I should give the presentation. It tempts me but... deep down a thought bothers me. I can't just accept it. I said the thought I had in my mind.
"Uncle I can't, it was just not me who made all the presentations", I hate to admit that 'that thing' helped me with it and he was pretty awesome, but I am not a cheater or a person who takes credit for others work. Uncle Kim narrowed his eyes waiting for me to say more.
"Taehyung helped me with it, he summarized the final version. I am not very experienced in presenting I think Taehyung should do it in my place", I said. I don't know why but still he deserves it. Without him, I would be still stuck with Namjoon and his unreasonable rejections.
"But I still don't like him a single bit, Yaiza Fatima never takes anyone's favor, he helped me and I am returning it", I justified myself trying to push the strange thoughts away. I snapped out of my thoughts when Uncle Kim said.
"Taehyung? Are you sure because he is not that generous? That brat never thinks about others", I shook my head and to my surprise I defended him. "Yes, Uncle he helped me, he just say, he'll never help but still ended up helping others." Why I said this I don't want to but you should admit good things too. If he is a playboy, trickster, completely arrogant but still got some good things.
In this whole week, I saw him completely denying people when they ask him for help but he does help them. He pretends to be cool and unbothered and in the end, helps others and brags about it always. He is annoying but... no he is annoying. I told myself.
"Come on Yazia he made Appa scold you", I told myself again. I don't want to have any connection with him. I just want to live my life peacefully without the name 'TAEHYUNG' in it.
"He really helped you? I guess my decision to make him your assistant was right he became a little bit disciplined", I just nodded trying to avoid the topic. I don't want to think about 'that thing' he is in my mind from last night.
His hurt face, just at the edge of crying the sad smile... No, he was acting. He is a great actor no doubt. "Still I want you to represent it", Uncle said and I looked at him hesitantly.
Uncle sensed it and assured me. "Taehyung is not responsible, I can appreciate he helped you but for the presentation, he is the last person I want to do this."
"Uncle, how can he be responsible if you don't let him have responsibilities, I am really not confident about it, just let him do it and I am sure if you trust him he'll do great", I told him my opinion which I never believe is my opinion.
Why I am doing this, guilt for hurting him? Yes, it is guilt is the most rational reason behind my words. but I am not even sure he was really hurt or acting. There is a fight inside me. I am frustrated with my overthinking.
"You think I should let Taehyung do it?", Uncle asked and then shook his head sighing. "No, he'll just mess up." should I defend him or compliment him a little? there is no reason to do it.
"Uncle he is pretty awesome at work, I trust his working skills he is good, you should let him do it", I said and he nodded and replied, "If you say then ok, I'll think about this and talk to Namjoon about this."
I nodded quietly and stood up, "Can I go? I got some work", I told him politely he hummed and smiled. "Go and don't overwork, I'll take your suggestion about Taehyung."
I said just awkwardly nodding being uncomfortable by myself held the back of my neck and got out. I let the breath out I was not aware I was holding in. "Why I did it?" I asked myself and sighed.
"I just did what was right it doesn't matter who I complimented, I did what I would have done for anyone," I said out loud to myself. Yes, 'that thing' is good at work even if he just faked his good boy behavior in front of Appa, made me annoyed to my guts, mess up everything around me still he is capable. 'Just be kind to everyone' Ayzal's words came to my mind.
"I'll not think about him anymore", I strictly told myself and entered my cabin and looked at the cup of coffee placed on the table. I narrowed my eyes and picked it up it was hot. I looked around and picked it up sipping it.
"It's surely made by 'that thing' it tastes the same", I have been drinking it since last week I can tell he made it. "But where he is?", I asked and thought.
Usually, he just lurks around me annoying me. Did he just place the coffee before I came? it's hot It means he just left a while ago. I raised my eyebrows and decided to ignore anything about him.
"Why don't he come to bother me?", I said my thoughts out loud. It's been hours since I came and there is no trace of Taehyung. He bothers me a lot even if I don't call him, he just comes knocking asking why I didn't call him. I looked at the intercom and thought for a while.
I pressed his line without thinking and he picked it up. He said nothing, just a sound of breath. Is he waiting for me to speak?
"Come here", I said and hung up. I tapped my feet on the ground in anticipation.
I heard a knock at my door and waited for him to come inside but no one entered. Taehyung usually just invites himself in after knocking. "Come inside", I said, and 'that thing' entered he didn't make eye contact.
"You called me?", He asked normally which was quite surprising. He is not normal and if he is doing normal things it's shocking. I looked around finding anything I could ask him to do. Why did I call him? I don't even know I sighed and looked at him holding the back of my neck.
His eyes traveled to my hand and he shook his head. "I you don't have anything, can I go?", He asked, I narrowed my eyes. "I called you for work, why would I call you without any work?" I said and mentally slapped myself. I don't have anything for him but will I admit never!
"Give me the... ", My mobile rang, Sukar Allah!! it helped me escape for a little giving me time to think. "One minute", I said and picked up the call. It was the construction supervisor.
"What!! Wait how can they do it?", I said and stood up. "Wait I'll see it", I hung up and looked at Taehyung who was worriedly looking at me. "Bring the contract we did with the suppliers of material", I told him and he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What happened?"
"I'll tell you, first bring me the contract and documents we have about supplies of rebars (iron rods used in construction)." He nodded and went out without a word and I decided to head up to Namjoon.
I got out and went to Namjoon's office. I entered after knocking and he looked at me surprisely. "Miss Yazia, What brings you here?", he asked in an unsettling tone I decided to ignore. "The suppliers are creating a scene on site, I just a call from the supervisor he said they are making a fuss about rebars", I told him in panic he just laughed.
"He called you?" I nodded at his question. "Then solve it on your own, you are capable of doing it? just go do it just like you approved your presentation", he said in an unbothered tone. This man wants to hold grudges at this time.
"Are you not bothered about it? it's important, not a time to let your anger out", I told him he shrugged. "I'll do it, I'll go there and see it on my own", He narrowed eyes at my words and I walked towards the door when I heard him say.
"Stop you can't go to the site like this", How can he stop me? Who is he to stop me if he can't I'll do it. "You can't stop me", I said and walked out and he ran after me. "Hey stop."
I ignored his calls and he reached up to me and stood in front of me stopping me in track. "Get aside", I said with a calm voice.
"You can't go, we'll see this problem calmly it's not rational to just go there", he told me and I still think we should go there there are labourers and workers who can get hurt in this. I looked at him in disbelief and said, "The suppliers are being aggressive we can't just leave our workers there trying to be rational."
"I know but it's not wise to go just like that", his words made me furious, and crossed my arms glaring at him. "Just get out of my way", I said firmly.
"Are you insane can't you understand, it's impulsive to go there", he raised his voice in frustration. Why is he even frustrated?
I took a step head from the side and he came in front of me again. If he is stubborn, I am more. I tried to go a few times and he just blocked my way. I glared at him. If killing would not be a sin I would have killed him.
"I am telling you last time get out of my way", he pocked his cheek in anger and took a step towards me furiously but before he could reach me a hand stopped him pushing him a little by his chest. I looked at the owner of the hand and it was Taehyung.
He patted Namjoon's chest looking at it and said, "Don't", Just one word and I am not sure why his words gave shivers to my spine. His tone was a warning.
Namjoon let a breath out. "Why are you getting between? She is just being unreasonable." Taehyung stood in front of him almost covering me and said to Namjoon. "It doesn't mean you can just hurt her."
Taehyung's actions made me surprised. Namjoon scoffed, "You think I'll hurt her, I was just scaring her."
"That's my point you were trying to scare her which she is not going to be, you'll just provoke her more, and then your all argument will read to emotional or maybe physical damage", Taehyung said and it gave me strange feelings. Why he is trying to be a hero?
Namjoon and Taehyung looked at each other for some fair minutes making me frustrated. "You both can do it somewhere else", I said and gave them a frustrated look. "And you stop pretending to be a hero and nice person because I know you are not", I told Taehyung and he licked his lips.
"Why do you hate me this much What do I even do to you?", he asked in a defensive tone. How can he say it? he made destroyed my birthday, because of him I got scolded by Appa and he is asking me what he did to me.
"How can you ask me that? huh? you ruined my birthday, you tricked me and then complained Appa."
