06 📸First Date

Taehyun's jaw was on the floor. Swathed in white dress, Y/n looked angelic. Her hair fell down her back in smooth ringlets. Oh boy, was all he could think.

"Let's go?" Y/n smiled at him and entered the car. Getting out of the car was slightly difficult. The reporters were clicking pictures furiously. Some were even shooting questions.

Taehyun suddenly stopped and pulled Y/n behind him.
"Yes we are dating. It's been a year. That should be it. Thank you." With a charming smile, he walked off pulling a blushing Y/n behind him.

The night went fantastic. Y/n absolutely loved the view of city, lights twinkling in the dark vastness. The food was brilliant and they had nice, easy conversation.

Taehyun was the perfect 'boyfriend'. Y/n loved his humorous remarks, his knowledge of the most random topics.

So when the night ended and Taehyun dropped her at her apartment, she couldn't help but hold his hand and say.
"You know it was my first time on a date. Thank you for the amazing experience. "
Taehyun was slightly taken aback. Her hand fit so perfectly in his, like a missing piece of puzzle.
"Are you kidding me? This is your  first date?!"
Y/n giggled.
"Yep. My parents didn't let me make friends on my own and prohibited dating. After getting out of the house, I was busy trying to make a living so any thoughts of dating didn't occur."
She shrugged looking at Taehyun's shocked face.
"I'm glad you had fun today."
Y/n beamed at him and he returned a shy grin.

"Y/n could you kindly take these shirts to the second room on the seventh floor?"
"Yep, sure."
Y/n smiled at Jeehi, her supervisor. Both of them were working tirelessly on the outfits. Taking the shirts from her, Y/n left.

Spotting the room, Y/n knocked on the door and waited.
"Come in."
Entering, Y/n saw the members of  Enhyphen. Heesung immediately greeted her.
"Hey Y/n! How are you?"
"I'm fine. How are you guys?"
"We are spectacular. Thanks. By the way, you can keep those there."
Y/n kept the shirts on the couch Jay pointed.
"Did you hear anything from your parents?"
"Nope."
Y/n shrugged. Jay looked slightly perturbed.
"Did yours?"
"I got disowned."
That was a SLAP. Y/n looked at him bewildered.
"WHAT?!? You got to be kidding me. Wait!! Is this because of me?? I'm so sorry. All of this is because of me. I didn't think about the consequences you'd have to face."
Jay looked taken aback.
"Hey no no - none of this is your fault. I would have ran away anyways. Just that you were the bride, I knew about your situation and I helped."
Jay patted her back. But Y/n still felt guilty.
"But honestly, you should be careful. Lord knows what they're planning. "
Y/n hugged him tightly.
"Thank you so much."
"Gosh, you are like a little sister I never had."
Jay laughed while ruffling Y/n's hair.

Y/n was pacing in front of the studio. She wanted some inspiration for the music video costumes. She had seen the spots where it will be shot. She just needed to hear the melody. After talking with Jay she couldn't help but blame herself a bit. She felt guilty for separating him from his family.

"What's up?"
Y/n flinched slightly, surprised. Turning around, she saw Taehyun walking towards her with a dazzling smile, making the butterflies in her stomach go crazy. She blushed profusely when she realized she had been zoning out while checking him out. Quickly she replied.
"Hey! I just needed to hear the song once more.... for inspiration. Please help me."
"Of course. Follow me."
Both of them walk inside the studio carefully, to avoid tripping on mesh of wires of different equipments.
Taehyun stopped at a computer and took out a headset. He proceeded to put it on Y/n gently, then gave a thumbs up to show he played the track.

Soon Y/n got lost in the harmonious euphoria created. The song was rock and the guitar and drums were shaking up her heart. Already she could vision the looks in her head.

Taking off the headphones, she took out her notepad and sketched the pieces for future reference.

"So..uh.. did you see the recent news?"
Taehyun asked, suddenly feeling nervous though he didn't know why. He felt he should have asked Y/n before making such a public announcement.
"Yeah... I mean it's all I see people talk about these days. Everybody's saying how bold it was on your part."
Y/n shrugged.

Taehyun felt slightly weird. Y/n didn't seem to be bothered about the sudden announcement of their relationship.

"Today I talked with Jay...."
Taehyun frowned. Why would talking with Jay damp her mood?

"He got disowned. I feel guilty. Though I know I couldn't stop Jay from running away but maybe if my family wasn't involved it wouldn't turn out this way."

Taehyun sighed before answering.
"I think you shouldn't feel guilty. I know Jay and he wouldn't take such an important decision without thinking about the consequences. So I think I'm right when I say... he did it knowing the consequences."

Taking her hand he intertwined their fingers. They sat in silence. Taehyun was disconcerted.
Y/n seemed close with Jay. He saved her from the wedding at the cost of getting disowned. Y/n cared about him, that was clear. Why wouldn't they marry then? They could help each other.

Before he could voice his thoughts, Y/n rose from her seat.
"I should get going. Thanks for helping."
He held her wrist, pulling her back.
"Let me drop you."

They reached her apartment without meeting any difficulties.
"Come in. You must be tired and hungry. I know this awesome jjajangmyeon restaurant and they do takeout. "
Taehyun's stomach rumbled and he followed Y/n up the stairs to her apartment.

But nothing could prepare them for what they saw next.
