He's Chill, But Possessive || TXT Taehyun

Chapter 10 "Forbearance"

The next night came.

Kang Taehyun was smart enough to suggest a dinner just to do his attempt on making Y/n take off her black mask as she wouldn't have a choice but to do it so she can eat her food. He was close enough to victory, but Y/n was smarter enough to decline and ask for a long walk at the park instead.

She even politely said 'no' when Taehyun asked if he could atleast buy her a drink. He ended up drinking his Bubble tea while she just listened to him in every word he said. It was a chilly night as they took short and lazy steps across the park. Ignoring the chaos around the world as Taehyun kept on talking to her.

'Taehyun, is this really you?'

Y/n asked herself as she gazed up at her own husband who was oblivious to her real identity.

She couldn't believe how talkative he was in front of her now. He never ran out of topic as he kept entertaining her with fun stories about his work and mostly business trips. He gave and shared loads of informations about his life.

'We don't even talk like this at home, mon amour.'

'Do you hate me, your wife, that much?'

"And one of my employees got so scared of me and ended up resigning." Taehyun chuckled, smiling widely as he stared back at her.

A soft laugh escaped Y/n's lips and it was enough for Taehyun to sigh in relief. He thought that their time was getting boring and how was he supposed to win the deal when they were just having a simple date outside?

"How 'bout you? Any fun stories?" Taehyun asked as he moved closer to her.

"Uhh," she tried thinking, she was sure there were many fun things at her work but she couldn't remember any of them now, "S-Sorry, I couldn't think of any."

Taehyun nodded, playfully nudging her shoulder which made her blink in shock, "That's okay, pretty. I have more to tell."

Y/n felt herself panting softly due to the rush in her veins. Taehyun wasn't usually this nice and playful towards her. He wasn't good in understanding and listening either.

He fucking became a whole different man for her in a span of weeks but he treated her badly for almost a year now. He was unbelievable. Taehyun could flash that bright and beautiful smile while at home, he would stare at her with deadly glares and frown at her existence. He would spit hurtful words that would break her heart and increase her anxiety.

"You're pretty chill, and fun to be with," she blurted out.

Taehyun grinned to himself upon hearing that. He looked like an idiot, chasing his crush when it was actually his wife who was covering her real self.

But the smile didn't last long on Taehyun's lips as he felt the slow and soft clenching of his heart, It felt so familiar and the warmth he was getting from the woman beside him was suddenly freaking the hell out of him. It seemed so strange and familiar, like he already had these feelings for someone else.

The familiar butterflies were making him think of that certain woman, waiting for him at home.

His wife.

"Taehyun, are you alright?" Y/n asked that pulled him back to reality.

"Uh, y-yeah." He replied, brushing off the thoughts he had for his wife.

"Are you sure? You look so red," she worriedly stated and mindlessly held onto his arm, gently tugging it.

Taehyun nervously nodded, his lips quivered as he took a glimpse of her small hand holding onto him.
