The Scars Between Us | KTH ✔️

Iris

Instead of answering him, I closed the small distance left between us and joined our lips together.

My mind was screaming at me to separate from him or push him away, but my heart was overflowing with happiness.

I circled his neck and he tugged at my waist, urging our kiss more and more.

He smiled into the kiss and my heart melted. And I knew that there was no coming back from this...

I'm so glad right now but at the same time, I'm afraid that my heart will suffer the same ache again.

Despite my confusion, I held on harder to him, bringing him as close to me as physically possible. Regardless of our intimate need for each other, our kiss was soft and sweet.

I was trying to pull away from him, but every time I would attempt to, I just couldn't.

The ringing of the doorbell interrupted us, and I immediately pulled away from him.

He stared right into my soul, searching for an answer, and I couldn't help the lone tear that escaped my eye.

He didn't hesitate to kiss that tear away and whispered, "Don't cry, my love."

I broke almost every rule I set before I came here. I overstepped the boundaries that I drew. I failed... But if this is failure, then it feels so good.

"Iris, we need to talk."

"Tae, I-"

The doorbell was heard again, so I slightly pushed him away and got off the counter. I turned off the stove on my way to open the door and allowed Leah to come in.

"Good morning, Ms. Iris", she beamed. "I thought you were still sleeping when you took so long to answ-"

She paused her ranting when she saw Taehyung pouring the pancake mix into the pan. Noting that Taehyung still hasn't put a shirt on, Leah seemed to be enjoying it.

I cleared my throat, grabbing the attention of both, while my glare was fixed on Leah, "Stop drooling."

A deep shade of red covered her face and she lowered her head shamefully, avoiding me.

Diverting my attention to Taehyung, I found him smirking. He must be satisfied with the sight of me being jealous, which is not funny, at all.

"Wait for me in the garden", I dismissed her and she took off without sparing me a glance.

"What's up?", Taehyung sarcastically asked when I closed the cabinets' doors a little bit too harshly.

"Nothing", I mumbled.

"I'm pretty sure there's something", he teased, well-aware of the reason for my annoyance.

"Forget about it."

I was about to leave the kitchen when he blocked my way, wearing that stupid smile on his face, "Don't you want to have breakfast, baby?"
