The news that your father dropped about getting married to Kim Taehyung was nothing but an explosion for you. You frowned to yourself thinking about it as you made your way towards the office building. Your head was filled with him only since yesterday and your mind was scattered in every other place.

You walked towards the lift mindlessly only to bump with a hard figure on the way. "Uh...sorry" you said immediately but gasped as the person was none other than your boss, Kim Taehyung himself. You blinked your eyes several times as he gave you a hard stare before walking into the lift followed by you.

You stood at a far corner of the lift after greeting him but he didn't even reply back to you as he kept himself busy on his phone. He wasn't actually doing anything but fiddling with his phone only to avoid you. His brain was only talking about you since the time his family disclosed their wish of him getting married to you.

"Umm... sir.." you already analysed from his weird behaviour that he knew about the marriage proposal and hence tried to make the first move. "Keep shut!" He didn't even raise his head to look at you. "But sir-" you frowned because of his arrogance but got interrupted again.

"Quiet Miss Lee" you huffed looking away. "And dad thinks he is the one for me!" You murmured under your breath. The lift was about to reach the top floor, instead you two heard a loud rolling sound before the lift shook and then halted. You plastered your back to the wall for support while the floor beneath you shook as if there was an earthquake.

"What happened?" You gasped in horror and looked at him who also looked a little tense but still maintained his calm. "I think there are some technical issues" he dialled a number, fixing his gaze on the door of the lift while you stood in the corner, gulping in fear. You weren't claustrophobic but the sudden stoppage of the lift and the thought of getting stuck with him was scaring you.

"Yeah there are some technical problems. The workers are working." He folded his arms and leaned back on the wall. "What would we do now?" You looked at him with your big, scared eyes. "Nothing. Just wait patiently till the lift is repaired." He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"Patiently? I am losing all my patience. How can I be patient…? We are stuck here. Are you even understanding my situation?" You panicked while talking in a hurry. "Miss Lee calm down. You are not stuck alone." He gave you a blank look and you gritted your teeths angrily. How can he be so calm in this situation?

"Exactly! It would have been better if I would have been stuck alone but with you!" You scoffed and he rolled his eyes on you, looking away but felt the small jerk on the lift. A squeal left your lips and you instantly walked towards him, standing close to him. "What?" He looked at your side, raising his brows.

"You might feel scared sir….so…" you shuttered, forcing a smile at him while tapping the sweat formed on your forehead with the handkerchief. "Oh! I might feel scared?" He scoffed, making a face and you licked your lower lip, feeling extremely nervous.

"When will it be repaired?" You groaned. "I am not the mechanic!" You got a monotonous reply in return. "Th-This feels so pa-paranormal…" you roamed your eyes around and just then the lights of the lift flickered and again there was a jerk.

You jumped in fear and instantly hugged him from the side, holding him tightly while yelling. "Oh my god! No no no! There is a ghost here sir….there is a ghost…" Taehyung's back dashed against the wall as you hugged him with force and he instantly raised his arms, avoiding to touch you.

"Miss Lee…" he called you but you shut your eyes tightly, getting a room to hug him from front and hence did the same. His heartbeats raised as you encircled your arms around his waist and pushed your head into his chest, murmuring some prayers.

He has never been this close to a girl in his life and it was making him feel some weird sensations. Your hold was very tight around him that even after trying, he couldn't set himself free. He just couldn't use force on you. "Miss Lee there is no ghost. Calm down." His chin was tugged above your head.

"No there is! It's just like those horror films. Oh no sir...we are going to die" you cried and he sighed hearing your nonsense. "And Hyung thinks she is cute!" He thought to himself but his trance broke as the lift jerked again and the tight hold of yours tightened as you almost squashed yourself in his arms.

"Oh no we are dying! No no! I didn't even get to live and eat properly. I shouldn't die so soon. No no!" You shook your head and he held his head, massaging his temples while his other hand went inside his pocket. He knew that you weren't going to listen to him and it would be useless to tell you to stop so he stopped trying.

After a few more seconds the lift started working properly and within another few seconds it reached the top floor. "Miss Lee, we are safe and fine." He whispered close to you as you still kept clinging to him, with your eyes shut close. He saw that the lift's door opened and his cheeks turned red the next moment as he saw all the employees peeping inside.

They were worried about their boss getting stuck inside the office but they never knew that they would witness his secretary hugging him inside. "Miss Lee!" He called for you again and this time you spoke. "Are we in heaven? Are we dead?" Though your voice came out muffled yet he could hear you properly.

"No we are perfectly fine. Just open your eyes." You slowly opened your eyes only to find yourself still in the lift with your boss pinned to the wall at the corner and you hugging him like a koala bear. You gasped before instantly distancing yourself from him. "What are you all looking at? Go back to work!" You heard him growl at everyone who was peeping inside and drowned in embarrassment with the thought of everyone seeing you in that condition.

Taehyung cleared his throat and loosened his tie as the air around you two grew thick in awkwardness. Rubbing his earlobe which turned red by now, he walked out of the lift and you instantly straightened your hair and clothes before walking out yourself.

Getting out of the lift, you were welcomed with a few stares of the employees and you hurriedly walked towards your cubicle only to find Shelia, your colleague, smiling at you with a teasing hint in her eyes. "There is nothing like what you all are thinking." You instantly put up your guards. "I didn't even say anything." She shrugged her shoulders, yet didn't stop smirking.

The whole day passed and the morning's incident got buried under the loads of errands that everyone was running, still what was stuck on your head like a sticking glue was the marriage proposal. You were hesitant yet determined to talk to him about it, no matter what and hence took a chance to sneak into his cabin to talk about something other than work.

"If you are going to stand like a statue then you may go….I am not interested in looking at you the whole day." His stern voice made you gulp again and again. "S-Sir I wa-want to talk to you." You fiddled with your fingers. "You always want to talk Miss Lee. Nothing new." He spoke not interestingly while flipping the pages of the file.

"Sir it's important!" You whined at his ignorance and he sighed before closing the file and looked up to you. "Speak" You cleared your throat a little after getting his attention on you. "Umm...well... didn't your dad talk to you about something?" You raised your brows at him and he closed his eyes, looking down, already knowing what you were talking about. He was trying to avoid the conversation but you were determined to bring it up.

"Sir listen…. I-" you halted to look at him briefly who still had his eyes down. "I can't marry you sir." He instantly raised his head and you crooked your eyebrows when you saw him smile a little. FOR THE FIRST TIME HE SMILED AT YOU. "Really?" He asked and you nodded slowly. "God I was so worried since yesterday but now I feel relieved. Even I don't want to marry you"

You too smiled at him widely. "What? Really? Thank God! I feel like some burden is lifted up from me. I mean I can never imagine getting married to you. No! Not even in my nightmare." You gleamed in happiness but saw his smile drop and a frown overtook his features. You mentally slapped yourself for blurting out all that.

"I-I did not me-mean it like th-that…" you shuttered as you saw him stand up from his armchair and walk up to you, making you step back. His face was hardened and he glared at you.."I am sorry s-sir…" you stepped back again but he stopped at a distance.

"It's alright because I also feel the same." His face relaxed and you sighed in relief. "Whoever will marry you will bring himself nothing but disaster." He chimed and you immediately frowned, throwing a glare at him while he smirked to himself.
