"What are you thinking?", Mr. Baek tilts his head, his smile widens. You take a deep breath and drink up the glass making them both smirk at each other. "You're quite a good drinker, Ms park", Mr Yang says, but you don't pay much attention to him before placing down the glass on the glass table with a thud.

"Here you go. Now please sign the papers", you finally look up at them helping grace with another hand who is almost drunk asleep by now. "C'mon, Ms. Park, you just started", Mr. Baek places one more glass of beer in front of you making you clench your jaws tightly.

You are completely aware that you have an extremely low tolerance for alcohol. You can't go on after 3 glasses or you'll easily get drunk. "I can't-" "Ms Park, I'll sign after this one glass", Mr. Baek cuts you off.

"Just this one glass and I'll be done..", thinking that you pick up the glass placed in front of you and take another shot. "Here", you put down the glass making him nod his head in response and pick up the papers from the table and start signing them.

Mr. Baek signs them all and hands them over to you,"Here you go, Ms. Park", he smiles. You nod lightly and turn your head towards Mr. Yang who was curiously watching you while taking sips of his beer.

"Mr. Yang, here are the papers", you place papers in front of him as well so he could sign them and hand them over. He takes a look at the papers placed before him and glances up at you. "Ms park, I can't sign them yet", he says, making you pull your brows together.

"What do you mean you can't? You can't go back on your words, Mr. Yang", you frown, making him let out a soft chuckle. "When did I go back on my words? It was Mr. Baek who said he will sign them after that one glass but I didn't utter a single word", he finishes his sentence, leaving you speechless.

He watches your gloomy face for a minute and a smirk forms on his lips as he continues,"How about..", he pauses as he picks another glass of beer from the table and starts rotating in a circular manner in between his fingers.

You realize he is up to something for sure. As an indistinct frown settles between your brows. "What is it?"You are trying your best to hold back your anger. "Ms. Park is surely smart", he chuckles before glancing at the glass in his hand making you avert your gaze towards the glass as well.

"One last glass in celebration of getting a contract and I'll sign them as well", he flashes a sweet smile. You lower your gaze not understanding what to do anymore. If you drink...you'll surely get drunk. "Ms. Park?"He calls you out, making you snap out of your thoughts.

"What are you thinking?"He asks, making you shake your head lightly. "Okay, this last one", you look at the drink for a while as you pick it up. Slowly bringing it to your lips you still couldn't stop wondering if you'll be alright after this.

[Y/n's pov] :

This will be the last glass and after making him sign the documents I'll quickly head out of here with Grace. Closing my eyes shut I gulp the whole drink up.

"Cough", choking onto my drink I slowly place the glass down on the table. "Are you alright?", Mr. Yang gets up from his seat and heads towards me. I couldn't stop coughing. He shoots out his arms towards me but I quickly move away,"I..*cough*..I am.. a-alright *cough*", I manage a weak alright.

"Looking at you it doesn't seem like you are alright", Mr. Baek walks up to me and Grace as well. "Let me help, Ms. Grace", he says as he wraps his arms around Grace and makes her stand up. She is in a complete unconscious state. "N..No..*cough*..I can help her", I stand and was to head towards them until Mr. Yang pulls me by my arm.

I try to slip out of his grip but it stiffens. "I've never seen a woman like you before, Ms Park '', he whispers in a lustful voice. My eyes go wide open as I finally look up at him.

"Let me go", I say, stumbling. I could feel the surrounding turning a bit blurry with every second passing by. "Let me help you", he pulls me closer as I place my hands over his chest and try to push him away. "I said leave", I couldn't shout louder.

[Author's pov] :

"Don't play hard to get. I can give you whatever you want as long as you maintain a good relationship with me", he holds her jawline forcefully and makes her look up. "You b@stard leave me before I K!LL you", she says through gritted teeth.

"I like it", he smirks and is about to kiss her until a loud cold voice yells making everyone around freeze,"Release her right now if you don't want me to burn you al!ve". Mr. Yang pulls his brows together as he looks ahead and suddenly his jaw drops looking at the man standing in front of him.

It was none other than Mr. Kim taehyung. Mr. Yang quickly releases her. Y/n couldn't look properly at the tall man standing just a few inches away from her in a black suit and falls down onto the couch losing her balance.

Taehyung sees that and quickly hurries towards her.

"Mr. Kim-", Mr. Yang was about to talk but Taehyung pushes him away from his way leading to her. "Y/n..", he takes her name in a low voice before getting down on his knees to take a closer look at her face, making her slightly open her eyes.

"Tae..", unknowingly, she calls him out. Though she couldn't see his face clearly yet she muttered his name and made a soft smile form onto his lips. Mr. Yang's eyes widened listening to her addressing him by his first name.

He was aware that he was completely done for sure now. "Mr. Kim, I'm sorry I didn't know she was your woman-''''Jungkook", Taehyung cuts him off, making Jungkook take a step forward. "I'll handle the situation here. You can take the lady with you", Jungkook bows, making taehyung nod in agreement and gently pick up y/n in a bridal style in his arms.

[End of pov]

"G-Grace....save h-her...", you mutter in a low voice making taehyung pull his brows and look up at Jungkook who nods in response indicating I'll look for her and take care of these two people here.

"LORD, MERCY!!! PLEASE I WAS NOT AWARE THAT SHE WAS YOUR WOMAN!! OR I WOULDN'T HAVE DARED TO LAY AN EYE ON HER!!", Taehyung could hear Mr. Yang's loud screams from behind as he was crying and begging for mercy but that didn't affect him at all. He kept on walking ahead without even sparing a glance behind.

#skiptime : at Kim mansion :

Taehyung opened the door of his room and headed inside with you still in his arms, carrying you towards the bed. He didn't turn on the lights as the moonlight was enough to guide him towards the bed. He gently placed you down and sat down beside you by the edge of the bed.

You fell asleep on your way back home. A soft yet sad smile played on his lips as he stared at your sleeping figure under the moonlight. He stretched his arm towards your face and caressed your cheek for a while before his fingers moved towards the strand of the hair which was disturbing your sleep and gently tucked it behind your ear.

"Sleep well", he leaned in closer and pecked the top of your forehead before getting up from the bed. He turned around to leave until a tug on his sleeves made him stop midway. He turned around just to find you looking at him with half opened eyes,"d-don't go..please".

He was surprised by your words but suddenly he realized you were drunk and blabbering in your sleep. He was about to pull his hand away until you pulled him towards him making him lose his balance and fall over you.
