"My Arrogant Boss". | Kim TaehyungWords: 29286

[Taehyung's point of view]

I let out a deep sigh resting my head to the headrest of the chair.

I was weary.

The clock showed seven past eight. I stood up to walk to the window of my cabin. The city lights were illuminating the whole street. The running beam of the unceasing traffic.

"Glad you are still here.....", A female voice came shrill into my ears. I shut my eyes to welcome the darkness.

I turned back to her forcing a tiny curve on my lips.

"What got you here Ms. Catherine?", I asked looking away to walk back to my table.

"I came to see you in the evening but that unethical secretary ruined my mood. Haven't seen a horrible person before, the way she—",

"What got you here?", I had to cut her off mid sentence.

"I wanted to take you for the dinner.....I know you denied lately but I'm still trying my chance", she uttered. Her presence had started to irritate me.

My phone buzzed up. It was always the mom saving me.

"Excuse me......", I excused myself and moved to the elevator to leave the place.

Not a moment passed and Catherine was already inside the elevator with me.

"I'm on my way, will be there soo—",

"Why are you even ignoring me Taehyung?", Catherine interrupted.

"It's Catherine.....yeah Kyle's sister......oh.....fine, we'll be there soon.....", I hung up.

Mom was inviting her for the dinner. At least I didn't have to go with her to have it alone.

"Mom is inviting you for the dinner.....", I spoke to Catherine.

"Aww that's so sweet of her, let me tell the driver to take the car, I'll accompany you", she announced picking out her cellphone.

I mentally groaned.

We walked ahead in silence to reach my car while Catherine kept talking about something I was least interested in. I kept on humming without even paying attention to her.

She sat beside me in the car while I drove off.

"I had to tell you something if we would have gone for the dinner alone but let me save it for some other day.....", She spoke to herself, well....to me.

I felt her gaze on me while I was busy driving. Never in my life a woman had made me as uncomfortable as I was feeling at this moment.

"You're so handsome Taehyung......", She complimented.

I forced a brief smile.

"Thank you.....", I said in a formal tone.

"I can bet that you are used to such compliments but can we blame them?", She chuckled at her own absurd joke.

"You know......I always dreamt of a man like you.....", She started. I wasn't ready for this upcoming conversation.

I drove faster.

"—but unfortunately never found one before......", She let out a quirky chuckle.

"When can we initiate our project?", I asked to make her realise that I wasn't interested in her strange conversation.

I heard a loud sigh of disappointment.

"Come on Taehyung, not the conversation about work right now", she spoke trying hard to sound seductive. She brought her palm ahead to slide it over my uppar arm then snaked it down to my shoulder.

I pressed the brake in agile. She let out a brief shrill cry.

"What's wrong?", She raised her voice a little.

"We are here.....", I spoke looking over my dwelling.

"You walk in I'll be there.....", I spoke and she followed the instructions.

[Your point of view]

We were sitting at the dining table waiting for Taehyung and Catherine. While Jade insisted to help Taehyung's mom with the special food she was preparing for us tonight. I was sure Jade was doing it because stupid Kyle was sitting here and she was apparently shy.

My eyes were digged into my phone as I was busy playing this zombie game. Just few more needed to be killed, my skilled fingers were desperate.

I was too keen to kill the last two before they kill me but a sharp noise was turned right into my ear which distracted me.

My hands moved in reflex and the cellphone, which made the noise, was on the floor the other second. Turned out it belonged to Kyle who was apparently sitting right beside me.

I turned to look at him so did he.

"How dare you to throw my phone like that!?", He scolded stooping low to pick up his totally-alright cellphone.

"How dare you to make that noise into my eardrums!?", I yelled back totally aware that it was just me and him on the dining table.

"You were playing that game, are you five?", He made a face in disgust.

"You don't need to make that face, keep it still and it will anyway look the same", I rolled my eyes turning to my cellphone which showed that I've lost the game.

I turned off the screen and kept it aside.

"You don't fear me right?", He spoke. I turned to him with drooping eyes.

"Why? Are you a zombie that I need to fear you?", I spoke blinking my eyes unusually. He kept looking for a moment and moved his face a little towards me. Trying desperately to look intimidating. I kept firm, staring into his eyes as well.

His lips moved to whisper something.

"You are the most annoying person I've ever met......", He stated.

"Congrats, the first similar trait between us....", I whispered back.

His eyes stuttered for a moment.

"What the hell are you doing here?", Kyle moved away immediately at the voice. Another annoying person was here. I rolled my eyes before turning to look at her.

Before I could greet the obnoxious human, I noticed Taehyung entering as well. His vision immediately caught mine. He didn't look his great self. Something was wrong. He shifted his vision to the upstairs and moved up, probably to his room.

"How fucking dare you to come here!", Catherine raised her voice as she reached the dining table. I wonder what Taehyung's mom will think about it.

I looked at the pretty face of the ugliest human. She was glaring at me. I was looking at her blankly because my thoughts were occupied by Taehyung.

"You youngsters are too loud while greeting eachother.....", Taehyung's mom appeared followed by a servant with the trolley table which was carrying the flatware and food. Jade appeared as well.

Taehyung's mom acknowledged the presence of Catherine.

"You must be Catherine.....", She smiled at her while Catherine smiled back.

"So pretty.....", Taehyung's mom awe at her appearance. I noticed a tinge of blush on the young lady's cheeks. Okay so she was normal!

"Where is Taehyung?", She asked.

"I saw him moving upstairs.....", I frowned at sudden change in Catherine's voice.

"You all sit back for the dinner. Catherine take that seat beside your brother", Taehyung's mom pointed to the empty chair on the other side of Kyle.

I took the moment to subtly move out of the scenario to reach Taehyung.

As I successfully stood up from my seat and turned, a voice caught me. I shut my eyes at being caught.

"Where you are sliding to, like a lifter?", This boy was getting on my every nerve.

I turned around and all the eyes were on me, I glared at Kyle.

"Going to visit my room, it's been long I've seen it.....", I shoot my gaze at Kyle. Taehyung's mom chuckled.

"Call Taehyung as well while coming back", she said while instructing the servent. Poof! Exactly what I wanted.

"She lives here?!", I could heard the shock in Catherine's words.

I glanced at her. Yes dimwit! I wanted to say but didn't.

"What are you staring a—", Catherine was back to her sharp pitch but she soon realised that Taehyung's mom was around.

I took no heed and turned to quickly reach Taehyung's room.

I turned the knob of his door. It was locked. I knocked but got no response.

"Taeh—", the door turned open.

He was standing in his gray shorts, usual. His hair was a mess and slightly damp.

He already moved back after opening the door for me, without approving my presence. He opened his closet and took out a plain white t-shirt to slide it over his toned body.

"Has something happened?", I asked.

"Nothing~", he said convincingly.

"You are lying.....", I said carefully trying to read his eyes.

"I don't have to~", he spoke picking up his cellphone from the bed.

"Then why are you?", I wasn't buying that. He wasn't looking into my eyes while talking, something was definitely up.

"Let's go for dinner.....", I said. If he was lying then he didn't want to talk about it so I kept this conversation aside until next time.

He hummed and I turned to walk first. I wonder what was bothering him.

Did I do something?

I stopped at my spot and immediately turned without any notice, he was few inches away, his steps came to halt as well.

He frowned.

"What's wrong?", He asked.

"Have I done something?", I uttered. He waited for a moment before shaking his head briefly.

Slowly a smile crept up on his lips and he immediately hung his head carrying a mysterious smug. He lifted his head up at me, much bravely.

He walked further, I didn't budge from my spot, I wanted to see what he was going for.

He kept his arms on either of my shoulder as he was near. I felt his one hand's fingers gripping around my scrunchie. I weirded out at his action but my eyes were ceased by his gaze on me. He gently pulled my ponytail down a little to cause my chin to raise.

He promptly kept a brief kiss on my lips leaving me in bombshell. My lips parted a little while my cheeks must have turned red. He pulled down my scrunchie leaving my hair loose. Further he buried his fingers into my hair and rest them on my nape. His other hand pulled me closer by my waist.

His lips again caught mine, this time in a sweet, slow, and an ardent osculation.

He pulled back after a moment and went ahead to take me into his embrace. His arms were resting on my waist while his chin on my shoulder.

This time I recovered quickly. I didn't want to. I wanted to feel his kiss the same way I felt when we first kissed, every single time.

I filled my lungs from the sweet fragrance of his.

"Let's go.....", I whispered when my eyes were shut to feel his secure lock around my frame.

"On a date?", He whispered causing me to let out an instant chuckle.

We broke the hug.

"For the dinner!", I exclaimed at his playfulness.

He nodded with a grin as we stepped out.

Walking down we joined everyone at the dinner table.

"It's great having all the children here otherwise it was mostly Taehyung, Y/n, and I", Taehyung's mom spoke up breaking a short silence at the dinner table.

"I can accompany you everyday", Catherine chuckled. I noticed her giving a quick glance at Taehyung while he was eating in silence.

I was across him, with Jade, who was sitting across Kyle.

Taehyung wasn't participating in any of the conversations. The distance between us wasn't huge as the table was ellipse, I removed my slipshoe and lift my foot to keep on one of Taehyung's thigh which was partially bare as he was wearing shorts.

He lifted his eyes to look at me but his face was deadpan. I was getting that rebound from the movies when the actress does something similar and the man turns out to be the other one sitting beside instead of the lead.

A chill of horror ran down through my spine and I moved my vision to Kyle. I caught him looking at me. My cheeks turned red when I recalled that Kyle was wearing shorts as well.

So was it him but Taehyung?! So my calculation was that bad?!

I freaked out and started to retract my bloody foot but it was caught by a hand, my eyes popped out. I immediately looked at Kyle but he was busy eating his food and talking to Taehyung's mom, so it was definitely not him.

Soon the hand which had captured my foot started massaging it from the sole. I hastily looked towards Taehyung and he was looking at his mom while she was having conversations with the guests.

His both hands weren't on the table. He was done eating his food. I mentally sighed in relief, briefly closing my eyes. When I opened them I caught my idiot looking at me and he did a quick eyebrow raise keeping his expressions fixed.

I freaking hate him!

Although I knew it was him I left with no enthusiasm to annoy him anymore because of the brief scary ride I just had a second ago. I tried to retrieve my foot again but it was futile as he didn't let it go.

"Why are you not eating Y/n?", Jane nudged at my elbow. I nodded at her and picked up my spoon.

I was eating my food in peace while experience a single foot massage but who am I kidding?

This man tickled at my bare sole causing me to jump a little on my chair.

"Heyy!", I uttered in reflex with a glare at Taehyung but soon looked away as I couldn't be that obvious in front of those sitting here. He finally let go of my foot but now I had those stare who needed an answer for my weird squeak.

"What's wrong?", Taehyung's mom asked with concern. Every pair of eyes were asking for a reply from me.

"Yeah? Is something bothering you? Well don't mind mom she's always too loud", Taehyung replied on my behalf and stood up.

"Leave my girl alone Taehyung....", Taehyung's mom shook her head in disbelief.

"Fine, only if you say so....", The most dramatic man in the house shrugged, playing his innocent card. I bit the inside of my cheek.

"Come to my room after finishing your food, the presentation you sent in the morning need few amelioration", he spoke in his domineering timbre before turning to leave.

"Taehyung, wanna accompany us to the club at city side?", Kyle offered.

"Yeah you'll have fun, that's Kyle's favourite, I'm coming along as well", Catherine legged in as always.

A whole damn leech.

"I would love to come along but I'm fagged out, maybe next time", he spoke and walked his way back to his room.

"Why don't you take Y/n and Jade with you, or maybe let me come along", Taehyung's mom joked.

"You are the coolest, that's a flex to bring you with us!", Kyle hyped up.

He sounds too gentle and composed when he talked to Taehyung's mom. His tone says how much he respects her.

It was good to see this other side of him. Maybe he wasn't that bad, maybe Jade was right. I still respect him for saving my friend that night.

But it wasn't easy to trust anyone who help you. Was it?

"Don't flatter me young man", The eldest among us spoke.

"Flatter? Not even in my deadliest dream", he sighed. We all chuckled together.

"I should leave you young folks alone, have the chats, this old soul need a sleep", Taehyung's mom started to get up but did the male amongst all stopped? Nah.

"Two pretty young ladies sitting in front of me but I'll still ask you out on a date", Kyle grinned at his own friskiness.

"I must ask my son before that, he's possessive", she played along.

That was so cute.

Kyle laughed.

"It's good to see you being goofy.....", Catherine spoke fondly smiling at her brother.

These twins indeed loved eachother.

"Thanks to Mrs. Kim and Taehyung for letting me into their house.....I thought I'll end of missing my parents, especially mom but you are too genial and sweet to me.....thank you for that.....", Kyle spoke sincerely.

Catherine had her hand on Kyle's shoulder, squeezing it a little. Was he getting emotional?

I was feeling sad for him. I turned to Jade, her eyes were fixed over Kyle. Her expressions were holding reverence for the male sitting across her.

"I don't want you to stay here any longer if you have the audacity to thank me, that's so cruel of you my dear!", Taehyung's mom scolded Kyle causing him to chuckle.

"He's so adorable......", Jade whispered.

At this moment, yes I agree with her.

"Good night children", she said and left to her room.

I feel like a little child when someone refer me as 'childern'. Anyway it was cute when she called me that.

"Are you both coming along?", Kyle asked when Taehyung's mom left.

"I'm not free", I spoke and stood up to leave as well.

"I'm up!", Jade said imparting excitement.

"Do we really have to ask them?", Catherine rolled her eyes making a face.

"I don't mind", Kyle answered passing her a glance, she shrugged at him.

"I'm leaving back to the hotel, good night", she stood up to leave after getting a 'good night' reply back from her brother.

"Go safe", he added.

"Let's go Jade", Kyle spoke sliding his cell phone to his pockets.

"Just two of us?", Jade hesitated.

"I asked your friend but she denied, if you are uncomfortable then I don't mind going alone", the male shrugged.

"I'll come, anyway I get bored at my place alone", Jade passed me a quick look.

"I'll go change", he said and left upstairs to his room.

"Jade..... you're going alone with him, be safe.....", I said out of concern. She nodded.

"Don't worry...... he's a nice man......", She spoke looking upstairs as he came back.

"Looks like......", I mumbled as she walked ahead towards the exit with Kyle.

I released a sigh.

Walking up on the stairs I was wondering how we many times misunderstand people and prejudice.

But how could I believe the Kyle whom I met for the first time was feigned and this one was genuine? I didn't think I should have given that dude any place in my thoughts even.

He was a guest here and soon when he would come into his role of being our business partner he would change again to his unruly self. I had trust issues when it comes to these siblings.

I stepped into my bedroom and took a quick night shower. It was the end of the year and the colds had already taken over but I felt uneasy without having my night shower.

Peculiar enough.

After the shower I changed into my night outfit, so I could hug the bed soon after fixing the presentation. A personalized SpongeBob set of trousers and shirt. This was my favourite.

I sprayed the room fresher because I would be too lazy to do that after coming back.

Setting my hair into a high ponytail I walked to Taehyung's room.

I knocked the door.

"It's open, get in", I heard the voice.

I entered into a dark room, just a soul lying on the bed with his cellphone and its light illuminating his bare face. He was too focused on the screen.

"Switch on the dim light", I did as I was commanded.

He sat back keeping his cellphone on the side table near his bed. He picked up the water bottle to fill his mouth while I kept standing near the entrance.

His eyes caught me.

"Has anyone given you the punishment to stand there?", He asked faking a frown. I pressed my lips together. My eyes shrunk.

"Only if my boss allow me to come any more closer", I chose to play it out.

He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"Please sit Miss. Y/n......", He spoke formally.

I briefly chuckled and went to sit on his bed.

"So what's needed to be fixed? I rechecked the presentation but I guess I've filled up all the voids", I informed.

"They were few, I've fixed them.....", He spoke gently. I furrowed.

"Why did you call me then?", I asked out of curiosity.

"To talk.....", He looked at me gravely.

My heart started to palpitate.

"Is it something serious?", I asked carefully and he nodded as a reply.

I swallowed.

"Yes.....?", I want him to go on.

"First grab that blanket and rest your back.....", He pointed to the seperate blanket on the bed. I pull it on my frame and rest my back with the bed's end, just like him.

"What it is about?", The delay of the conversation was eating me up.

"I think our relationship isn't going anywhere.....", He started. His words dramatically made me turn to him. His expressions were stern.

"Why?", My vocal cords refused to stay sane. I was certain that he was like that, before the dinner, because of me.

He scanned my face while searching for the words.

"You think we should carry it anymore?", He dropped another question rather answering mine.

"It's not been long......I don't know what made you think this way..... I'm unable to recall anything that explains your uncertainty......I don't want it to end.....", I added looking away.

I was becoming more sensitive with every passing day when it was about him and I and I wasn't adoring this change even a bit.

"Will you start hating me again if we go back to being the boss and secretary? I mean we still are but— ugh! I'm sorry I don't know what I'm saying. I think I need a sleep. We can talk the rest tomorrow, I'll be fine with whatever you decide because nothing works when it's not mutual.....good night", my voice was no more brave. I just wanted to get invisible untill I feel better.

I removed the blanket from over me to slip off his bed but my action was seized as he pulled me by my arm eventually making me turn.

He embraced me immediately. I was on the verge of crying. I hate myself for that!

"I'm sorry.....", He apologized in a whisper.

"You need not to be.....", I spoke trying to escape his embrace but he didn't let me move.

"I should leave......", I mumbled, my voice was too low.

"You must not......I was playing around......", He revealed.

I squinted. My jaw clinched. I was getting furious.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT!!?", I screamed near his ear as he didn't let me move out of his clasp. I gripped his t-shirt from either side of his waist to pull him back but he didn't budge.

"LEAVE ME!", I yelled. I felt him shaking his head near my shoulder.

"You'll slaughter me", he chuckled.

"YOU DESERVE!", my pitch refused to slow down, I was still raged out.

"I hate you......", I muttered and stopped pushing him away as I had no strength left.

"Same......", He answered keeping a feathery kiss in the crack of my neck.

"I thought you'll find out.....", He reasoned. I stayed quiet.

"Okay I promise I'll not do anything like this ever again!", He finally let go of me and spoke looking me into my eyes.

"I'm exhausted I need to sleep", I was sombre.

"We can share the bed......", He offered.

"Fuck yourself~", I said in a passive agressive tone but he released a brief laughter.

"Please stay I've to talk about something serious......", His voice was staid again.

I looked at him with zero amusement.

"I swear if you start with another bullshit humour", I warned.

"I won't......", He answered with a faded curve on his lips.

"Sit back", he said adjusting the pillow for me. I did as he instructed.

"Before you go on I've a question", I asked. He nodded for me to continue.

"Why did you set two blankets? To fuel your act?", I was pissed again.

"Not at all, I didn't think of doing that first of all, it was a spontaneous thought. About the blanket, I thought you'll be uncomfortable......", He shrugged.

"With sharing blanket? You can kiss me so bravely but think that I'll be uncomfortable with this bare minimum? So thoughtful of you Mr. Kim Taehyung", I laughed. But he didn't seem to find me amusing.

Can't blame him, my sense of humour was bland.

"It's not want it looks like, both of these things are different. I continue to kiss you because I know you are fine with it but if I ever find you uncomfortable with that I'll stop right away and will not do it again until you tell me to. I'm not a pervert or a weirdo", he shook his head in mistrust.

"Hey I didn't mean that way...... I'm sorry......", I spoke choosing to drift the conversation.

"So what you wanted to talk about?", I asked.

"Yeah.....so Catherine came to see me at the office before we came here. She was adamant to go on a dinner with me, like, just us. Seems like she wanted to tell me something......", He paused.

"Tell you something? Is she trying to confess to you?", I was weird out.

"I suspect. She was flirting evidently, she's now not even concealing her actions", he informed. I raised my eyebrows at the last thing.

"Action? Did she do something?", I furrowed listening carefully.

"Just brushing her hands on my shoulder and arms when I was driving. Although it was making me uncomfortable but those were minor. We better make her stop before she get obsessed. I honestly don't want to come coarse or make it look any severe to her reputation", he answered.

"Let me take care", I took the responsibility. It was disgusting the way she was reacting.

"She hates you Y/n, it will be better if you both stay away", he warned.

"Don't worry I'm good, you anyway can't deal with a woman.....", I sighed.

"True that~", he mumbled with amusement. I hit him on his arm causing him to release a breathy chuckle.

"So are you sure?", I asked, I knew he wouldn't get the context.

"About what?", He asked, as I guessed.

"Sharing the bed tonight? Don't blame me if I end up hanging my legs over your back and it hurts again", I cautioned.

"I won't", he spoke with a cheeky smile but I tried my best to keep a straight face.

"The light? I'm not getting up!", I exclaimed.

"Let me take the trouble ma'am", he declared bowing formally. I suppressed my smile till he stood up to reach the switch.

He came back and slide into his blanket.

"Good night", he said and I mumbled back.

I was contemplating over something but my heart allowed and I did as my gut suggested. I slide off my blanket and invaded Taehyung's.

He gasped at the sudden action.

"I hope you won't mind sir.....", I asked already throwing one of my leg over his waist while he was facing the other side.

"Won't you ever let go of this habit of yours? Throwing your limbs all over?", He complained.

"Nah", I announced.

"I hope you won't pass this habit further", he spoke and a silence took place.

"Further?", He hummed at my query. Soon the context shoot my brain.

I flushed, glad the room was dark.

"Shut your mouth, I'm sleepy", I managed to speak.

He was caressing my leg which was around his waist.

"Your SpongeBob printed outfit it cute.....", He mumbled.

"I know.....", I said in my sluggish voice and eventually drifted off.

{Time: 04:37}

I woke up with numerous phone calls. My eyelids were too heavy to open. It was still dark outside.

Taehyung was asleep at his side of the bed, curled up, while I was on my side lying like a burrito in his blanket. The whole blanket was captured by me.

I slipped out of the bed and covered that little human ball into the warm blanket before leaving out with my cellphone while collecting my hair into a tight bun.

It was an unknown number.

"Yes? This is Y/n....", I furrowed when calling back.

"Heyy this is Ash, if you remember me", I paused for a moment, recalling.

"We met when you came to that business trip with your boss.....", He added.

"Oh yes! Hey Ash!", I exclaimed out of joy.

I heard a sigh from him and my joy faded away.

"Is everything okay?", I asked.

"Wish I wouldn't have been calling you for this. Seems like the girl I helped to admit in this hospital knows you, she's severely injured.....", He informed.

I gaped.

"Who's the girl?", I asked as my heart started to throb.

"Her cell ID said Jade Alves", it was like my whole body stopped functioning. My breath got heavier.

It got hard for me to articulate anything. I was blinded by the teardrop resting within my eyes.

"What hospital?", I wasn't sure if I was even audible because I couldn't hear myself.

"I'm sending you the location", he said, I nodded to myself and hung up. I ran to my room to grab my wallet and then exit the mansion.

"Shit", I said under my breath as I had to book the taxi. I quickly did that in emergency drive.

It came in three minutes.

My hands were trembling. The way felt like forever to cover. I shut my eyes and was just praying for my friend's wellbeing.

I chose to leave a text for Taehyung and the hospital's location.

After twenty minutes of ride I was dropped at the hospital.

I dialed back Ash.

"At which floor and room?", I asked him with a shaky voice.

"Wait I'm on the ground floor, I'm coming at the entrance", he spoke and disconnected. I walked near and already saw him approaching.

He was looking the same old.

He waved at me as we came closer. My eyes refused to let go of tears.

"She's my close friend. How did it happen?", I asked him as we walked to the elevator.

"Maybe an accident, her car was shattered. I remember she was having a conversation with a young dude over the liquor counter, in the bar of the city side. I was sitting near so could hear them. I guess she confessed to him that she likes him but the dude got furious and imposed few words of insult. Perhaps your friend is sensitive as she started crying soon after. The dude left her alone and she picked up few shots before leaving. I was going back my way when I saw her shattered car. I peeked inside and saw her. When I was bringing her here I checked her contacts and saw your picture over your contact so called you after admitting her here......", He narrated.

The feeling of loathe came up all over again within me for Kyle, much stronger than before.

I was now standing in front of the room where lie Jade, unconscious. Her wound covered in white gauze.

"Let's meet the doctor", Ash suggested and made my way to doctor who was seeing Jade.

We entered and he offered us seats.

"What's your relationship with the patient?", She asked.

"I'm her close friend and colleague", my voice almost gave up.

She slide the glass of water towards me.

"Have a sip and be strong", she consoled.

"The injury is severe as the accident was. Thanks to this young man for bringing her here. We are waiting for her to gain her consciousness before we declare anything but there might be some complications and she might drift into coma. We can't confirm anything yet. Just keep her in your prayers we are doing our best......", Her pause was a single for us to leave her cabin.

We did the same anyway. There was no point in staying.

"Thank you Ash.....", I said forcing a smile for helping my unconscious and helpless friend.

"Please Y/n, I'm glad I could help", he spoke out of kindness.

"Please sit back. I've some personal business, may I take my leave?", He asked.

"Yes of course you've helped enough....".,

"I'm just a call away, ring me up if you need me",

"Sure.....", I said and he took his leave.
