Your POV
" Be a part of my team ." Presently, I was sitting with my hands no longer cuffed . Taehyung had seated himself opposite to where I was , noticing my every move . His gaze was intimidating but I didn't feel that weak like I was feeling previously. Strangely enough, he got it and tried to be civil for once by letting my hands free .
" This is the reason you knocked me out yesterday after… " my words hitched remembering the moments we shared . Suddenly it felt like it was better to not spell it out so loudly . " Kidnapping part . Yes . I had it in my mind for quite some time. But the make out was unplanned. You can blame the drinks for that." I was left agaped by the nonchalance this man's words held . He had no tinge of shame while speaking it out loud .
" So… " I breathed deeply to calm down my nerves and started speaking again. " This is how you ask for partnership ? By kidnapping that person ? By choking her ?!" He was smiling by the end I completed my rant . Taehyung had his head tilted on his side again and his whole resolve held a teasing glint when he replied. " It had to be a special treatment for my rival's daughter." "You are stupid ."
While I let out a scoff , Taehyung's deep voice rumbled out a laughter. " Am I ? I don't recall myself getting involved with my enemy first ." He joked out . Then there was only the sound of his chuckles surrounding us until the sudden screech of the chair he was sitting on , interrupted. I was taken by surprise, having him approaching me out of the blue . He stopped some steps away with his hands in his pockets.
" Well let's be honest here ." He sat himself down on the bed , beside me and leaned closer with his hands running across my face . It left a trail of adrenaline to rush through my veins , suddenly finding the closure intimidating. His hands stopped to hold my jaw , making me look directly into his eyes . " I didn't wish to have such a pretty enemy . That's why I'm willing to have a pretty partner. "
Taehyung's words sounded even deeper when he whispered it to me . His features at that moment were the perfect depiction of a beautiful beast . A menace to this world and what scared me at that moment was the way my body reacted to the touches he was leaving. But that shouldn't be how it must be going. I gained the courage in me to slap his hand away and sat straighter than before . " What assures you that I'll be on your side ?"
I questioned him with a confident glint held in my eyes . "Oh come on ! Weren't you already on a runaway ? I'll give you a place to stay and freedom to do whatever you want . "
" I wasn't. I wasn't on a runaway. I don't need a place to stay , not with you at least. I am quite capable of getting myself one rather. And freedom? Nobody is holding me back Kim , except you. " I pointed my fingers at him , maintaining the eye contact. It was an impulse to lean closer and try to look more intimidating and for a moment there was a glint in Taehyung's eyes to be caught off guard by the sudden decrease in distance.
But it vanished sooner than it appeared. Instead his lips curved up to form a grin and the hands which had touched my jaw some moments ago , captured my neck. It wasn't a tightened hold but I could also feel his grasp on my throat , a sign of warning. " Last time you held my throat , I was knocked out . You still think I'll be willing to be your partner and not enemy ? " I was smirking back at him , refusing to show the little fear which had crawled up in my heart , making it thud .
