Only On Paper [ K.TH FF]

Chapter Sixteen

[Unedited]

The next morning came as brightly as it could, quite literally actually, the strong streaks of sunlight escaped through the barriers of the curtains to directly fall on my face. As much as I could say, I was a heavy sleeper and I could probably sleep through an earthquake, I was proved wrong when my cheeks felt burning hot. If someone happened to crack an egg on my face right now, they would get breakfast in bed alright.

Squinting my eyes and groaning as my aching body tried to crawl away from the ridiculously bright sunlight, I felt stuck. Now neither was I drunk last night or one of those people who happen to have amnesia every time they sleep, but I was slightly shocked to find myself snuggled next to a warm body.

Peeking one eye open and then slowly the other to guage the surrounding and the condition of my embarrassing position, I was kind of relieved to see that I wasn't cuddling with my husband who hated me. In fact, Taehyung was sleeping in the most respectable position, snoring softly. The disrespectful bimbo was me as my arms were draped across his torso and my face snuggling on his arms!

I was hoping it would be like those dramas where either the man leaves early and saves the awkward situation or the woman wakes up first to escape. As much as it looked like the second option to save me was still valid, all of my hopes were crushed when the person next to me stirred and in no time we were looking at each other.

I think it took a moment for Taehyung to come into his senses as I saw his pupils getting dilated gradually but then he swiftly got up normally. I guess I am the only abnormal one who hasn't woken up next to anyone other than inaminate objects like my pillows. I never even had a teddy bear to cuddle with while growing up.

"What time is it?", Taehyung asked after clearing his throat to garner my attention. My hands quickly darted towards my phone on the nightstand.

"Eight thirty."

"Thankfully we aren't late. Get ready. They have breakfast at 9.", he said before disappearing into the bathroom leaving me to gather my thoughts and prepare my introvert and asocial mind for the rest of the day.

After silently going about our own business while getting ready, we were ready in about 20 minutes. I was still learning how rich people dressed so I kept it casually formal. I was happy to see that our outfits turned out matching with colours as Taehyung's baby blue shirt matched with my dress. He didn't seem to notice it but the moment he slipped his hands into mine while walking out the door, I couldn't help but feel gittery.

I was thankful to him for holding ny hands and guiding me through the ridiculously big and confusing house. It was like a freaking maze! All doors looked the same and almost all corridors looked like the one we walked through to reach the dining hall.

Sounds of chattering and the sound of utensils clinking could be heard as we neared the dining hall. I hate to say this but nervousness enveloped me like a blanket and I couldn't help but squeeze onto Taehyung's hand. To my surprise, he squeezed mine back, making my eyed dart towards his face to see his jaw slightly clenched. I should have ignored it but I blurted out my thoughts before thinking,

"I'm nervous."

" Me too.", his words were almost drowning in the sigh that he let out.

"Is your family even more intimidating than you?",

'Oh shit'

I heard his deep voice rumbled as he chuckled before raising his eyebrows and giving my dainty figure a once over.

" If you find me intimidating then you should look forward to this."

" You are nervous as well and instead of making me feel at ease, you are scaring me?", I couldn't help but frown.
