Chapter 5 - Crushing and Adoring

All of them were busy talking when Jimin walked in saying,

"Okay so our careless, injured baby is here!"

He had Taehyung's right hand around his neck and had his left hand wrapped around Taehyung's waist.

"For the last time Jiminie, I'm not a baby and it was an accident," Taehyung said in his husky yet melodious voice.

He was slightly limping. He saw Sayesha, nodded once and smiled.

Everything around Sayesha stopped for a while. He was beautiful. Crushingly so. Taehyung wasn't ever present with her physically but she could always feel him around her. Such was the magic of his music and persona. It wouldn't be wrong to assert that she was, spellbound. But she broke away from these thoughts immediately because she was not just an admirer now but a lot more.

She kept reminding herself to stay professional.

As soon as she came out of her la la land, she saw a game controller lying on the floor and Taehyung was about to step on it with his bandaged foot.

"NO!!," she screamed and ran towards Taehyung and Jimin.

She put her one hand on Taehyung's chest to stop him and picked up the controller with the other.

Everybody got scared by Sayesha's abrupt action.

She didn't realise that the game controller was very close to Taehyung's foot and as she stood up, she was standing really close to him. Close enough to feel him breathe. She could feel his heart beating through her palm and for split seconds, both of them got lost in each other's gaze.

Taehyung didn't once flinch because of Sayesha's touch. He just stood there staring at her beige complexioned face.

But why wasn't he feeling awkward?

Even Sayesha could've conveniently told them to stop while sitting on the couch but god knows what got into her.

"Jungkook what did I say about game equipments lying around the dorm?!," Namjoon asked sternly as everybody turned to Jungkook.

Taehyung and Sayesha came back to their senses. She stepped back and put the controller on a nearby shelf.

Jimin cleared his throat and said,

"Uh ahem thank you Sayesha. You aren't hurt Tae, are you?"

"No I..huh? Yes I'm fine," Taehyung said looking down.

"Let's go then. Come Sayesha," Jimin said and made Taehyung sit on the couch with his leg adjusted comfortably on the coffee table infront with a pillow.

"I swear Hyung I don't know how it got there. I kept everything in the gaming room," Jungkook tried to explain.

"Do you realise what would have happened..." Namjoon was furious but Yoongi patted his shoulder and said,

"Its okay Namjoon. Spare the kid. We all know that he isn't that careless. It won't happen again and Tae is okay so, calm down."

"Sorry Hyung," Jungkook said in a low voice.

"It's fine. I'm sorry I'm just a bit stressed about all the work. Tae how are you feeling now?," Namjoon asked.

"I feel much better Hyung. It isn't hurting that much. I feel I'll be able to dance soon" replied Taehyung. Namjoon nodded on this.

"Tae you didn't meet Sayesha properly. She is our new manager and such a darling. Sayesha you remind me of my younger sister," Seokjin said lovingly.

"Then consider me your younger sister, oppa," Sayesha said.

"Haha gladly, sweetheart!"

Seokjin caressed Sayesha's head like a child.

"Hi. Welcome to the family," Taehyung said looking at her.

"Thank you and get well soon, okay? You guys have a music industry to conquer!," Sayesha replied with the sweetest smile.

After sometime, all of them were talking, having coffee and Taehyung kept stealing glances at Sayesha. Meanwhile, Sayesha noticed that Namjoon kept going to the corner to talk to someone on the phone. Someone kept calling him and he looked annoyed and tired as well.

So, this time she followed him.

"Hey."

"Oh hey."

"Is everything alright?," she asked

"Yeah just these people we're collaborating with. They have been pestering me since yesterday. Sejin Hyung told me about them but it's getting out of hands and I don't want others to get stressed. I want to handle..."

Namjoon kept talking. He looked so worn out and in dire need of a helping hand.

"Hey listen, I know you're the kind to handle everything on your own and suffer in silence but you don't have to do it now. This is my job and I will make sure that nothing stressful or negative touches you guys. I was supposed to join from tomorrow but let me join right now."

"Right now? What do you mean," Namjoon asked.

"Give me his number," Sayesha said taking out her phone.

Namjoon did.

"Hello? Yes this is Sayesha, BTS's manager. What is all the fuss about? I hope you know that you're not allowed to contact the members personally unless absolutely necessary, which it won't be . From now onwards, whatever the issue may be, I'm here to handle it. And your contract..."

While Sayesha talked on the phone Namjoon tilted himself on the wall and looked at her smiling. Something inside of him confirmed that she wasn't just any girl. He had start adoring her from the moment he laid eyes on her and somehow, it felt right.
