My Only Girl

Chapter 28

Y/n POV

As soon as I stepped out of the car, my eyes popped out in astonishment, as I witnessed the glory of the extravagant and sumptuously lavish hotel standing infront of me. It was glowing in yellow lightings all around and was  fenced by tall and large pine trees and beautiful green belt. It was looking so marvellous.

I was standing in the porch of the hotel, and right infront of my eyes, a lovely artificial fountain was flowing as a statue of a woman with a mirror in her hand,  stood in middle of it, it was too illuminated in multi-colored lights.

Suddenly, a gentle tap on my shoulder brought me back in reality....as Taehyung was peering at me, giving a boxy smile.
"Let's go... I've parked the car..." He said as he wandered his eyes around our surroundings.
I hummed as I slowly started walking towards the main entry,with my head hung low....it was surprisingly not a hidden fact, that by the time we reached the venue, the monstrous anxiety had taken the best of me. My palms were continuously sweaty, as I had to gulp down my saliva every now and then in nervousness.
Soon, I again stopped on my heels as a firm hand restrained me from further moving. I turned around to see a concerned Taehyung. It was evident in his eyes, he was equally worried and nervous as hell as I was. I mentally slapped myself, for indulging in my own anxiety when undoubtedly, Taehyung wanted me there to back and support him. However, he was actually cool and calm from outside but once I dived in his eyes, I knew exactly the truth.
I quickly stepped close to him, as I gently hold his hand, giving him an assuring and sincere smile.

"Come on Tae...let's go inside." I said softly.
"Yeah....but not like this...." He said as he nodded making me confused but then he reached out his arm towards me gently, as he smiled warmly. It took me some moment to understand what he meant, but soon it clicked in my mind that he intended me to lock my arm with him. My cheeks soon blazed as I gazed at him, and then I timidly hooked our arms, like in those posh classic romantic movies.

"Tae, don't you think it somewhat feels like those classic posh movies....where men escorted women with their arms locked together, as they walked to the party or social events...." I said as I giggled at my own remark.
His mood immediately lifted at my remark and soon the side of his lips twitched into a radiant smile. He chuckled looking at me for a few seconds, as our eyes remained in an eye contact for awhile. But, soon the bustling and murmuring of people around us in the porch, filled our ears and eventually brought us back out of our reverence.
We both nodded at each other lastly, as we made our way towards the main entry of the lavish hotel, with our arms locked and Taehyung escorting me.

Taehyung showed the invitation card to a female attendant at the reception, and she told us that the party was going on in the backyard resort of the hotel, later a young girl who must be slightly younger than me, accompanied us to the exact venue.

As I walked, with Taehyung escorting me possessively....Yes, you heard it right. POSSESSIVELY.
I couldn't help but notice the stares and curious attention, we both were getting by people around us. I started feeling more self-conscious and alert, much more than before, as instantly my loose grip on Taehyung's arm became quite tight as uneasiness filled me from inside.
I'm seriously not used to this kind of attention at all....because neither I've been in such light of attention ever before nor I want to be an attention- grabber in future either.
It seemed, Taehyung sensed my uneasiness at instant, as I felt him placing a gentle assuring hand on my hand which was holding his arm.
Not surprisingly, it made me feel quite  at ease than before.

Not much later, we were standing in a much crowded place,  with all young men and women dressed classically in prom themed suits and dresses. The sounds of clinking cheers of random toasts, shrieks of laughter, nostalgic chit-chats were renting up the entire jolly atmosphere. The venue was even more beautiful than the hotel....the party was held in an open garden resort with round fancy tables occupying the area along with some long side tables where all the delicacies for the evening were ready to be digged in. The garden was fully illuminated by evening lightbulbs hanging overhead of us along with colourful lanterns, making the evening even more memorable and scenic. It was just Wow!
