CHAPTER 26

'Are you feeling the rush?
If so, then I think I know what's going on
And are we falling in love?
Say yes or no, yes or no, yes or no'

...

"Because I Fucking Love you Nim Yn!" He cut her midway, making her flinch.

Goosebumps rushed through Yn's body as she stood there, locked in a stare with Taehyung. Unable to find her voice, she desperately searched for the right words.

"Yes. I fucking love you! I can't let you misunderstand me because of some psycho. I care for you and I need you! I can't bear to see you in pain. I-I..." Taehyung's tears prevented him from speaking further.

Yn was in awe, slowly making her way towards him. His head hung low, attempting to conceal his emotions. Gently, she cupped his cheeks, forcing him to meet her gaze. "Tae-Taehyung?" she called out, her voice still shaky. "Mhm?" he looked at her, his smile softening the atmosphere. Yn bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.

"I love you, Yn. More than words can express. I never expected to fall in love with you, to have my heart skip a beat every time I see you smile. But here we are, and I can't deny how much you mean to me. I know it's complicated, but maybe we can make our own story out of this mess," he confessed, holding her hands and caressing them with his thumbs. Yn's stomach morphed into a zoo, and her cheeks flushed with warmth. Their words lingered in the air, an unspoken understanding passing between them. Locking eyes, they beheld a mixture of fear, hope, and longing.

A minute of silent connection stretched into eternity, engulfing them in an electrifying tension. And then, unable to resist any longer, they succumbed to their desires. Their lips met in a passionate kiss, a silent promise sealed in the heat and urgency of the moment. This deep and lingering kiss held within it a sense of longing, desire, and love. Taehyung gently brushed Yn's face, breaking the kiss but replacing it with a tender peck on her forehead.

"I'm sorry for everything. I promise you, from now on, you will have nothing but happiness. Please give me a chance," he pleaded, his eyes gleaming with affection. Yn nodded, her love for him evident in her eyes. Taehyung pulled her into a tight embrace, enveloping her in warmth. "I love you, Yn," he whispered.

It was almost eleven at night, Yn and Taehyung found themselves in his room, cuddled up together. Yn nestled against Taehyung's arms, while he wrapped his arms around her protectively. No words were exchanged, for their eyes spoke volumes. Taehyung tenderly brushed away strands of hair from Yn's face and caressed her cheeks.

"Did I ever tell you this?" he asked, peering into her eyes. "Hm?" Yn raised an intrigued eyebrow. "That you are so beautiful," he said, a soft smile gracing his lips. Yn closed her eyes, a blush spreading across her cheeks as she tried to hide her smile. His laughter filled the room, amused by her reaction. "Stop," she playfully demanded, lightly hitting him.

"Alright, alright. Are you sleepy?" he inquired, his laughter subsiding. "Um, no? Why?" Yn's heart fluttered in anticipation. "Nothing, it's just... let's talk?" he suggested in a low voice. "Ah, yeah. Sure, let's talk," Yn hesitated, feeling slightly embarrassed for no apparent reason.

"Hmm, do you like me?" he asked teasingly, a mocking tone in his voice. "Wow, well, why not? I don't want to tell you," Yn replied, a mix of aggression and amusement in her tone. Taehyung giggled at her response. "That's not fair. Come on, I want to know," he pouted. "Nope. Later," Yn retorted with feigned indifference. "Okay," Taehyung made a baby face. Yn couldn't help but laugh, her hand reaching out to ruffle his hair as she moved closer to him.

"Taehyung," she called out slowly. "Hm?" he nodded, his attention fully captivated by her. "Um, can I ask you something?" Yn smacked her lips, playing with her nerves. "Sure, go on," Taehyung encouraged, patting her head affectionately. "I-I don't know if it's the right time to ask, but I'm lacking patience." She fretted, her anxiety growing. "Come on, don't be scared. What is it?" Taehyung soothed her, his voice calm and reassuring. "Um, actually, I found out from Jin that you used to have a huge crush on someone from your college, and th-" "Jin Hyung? He told you?" Taehyung looked startled, interrupting her. Yn nodded, confirming his suspicion.

"So... as I was saying, even Jungkook mentioned how you were a hopeless romantic and all... And-" "And?" Taehyung's calm demeanor had now shifted. "I was wondering who it was and what happened between you two," Yn confessed, her curiosity tinged with sadness. "I know darling, you're not prying. But remember, it's all in the past. You don't have to dwell on it," Taehyung reiterated, cupping her cheeks and compelling her to meet his gaze. Yn averted her eyes, refusing to comply.

"Fine. Come here," Taehyung sighed, his tone filled with resignation. A smile played at Yn's lips as she nestled closer to him. "Hm. So, there was this girl who caught my eye during my final year of college. It was like sparks flew the moment I laid eyes on her. It was a feeling I had never experienced before, not even in high school when they used to call me 'Grumpy Cat.' But that moment, when I saw her, it felt so unreal," Taehyung reminisced, evoking a tinge of jealousy in Yn's heart. She pretended not to care, feigning disinterest as she listened intently to the story. "I could never muster the courage to confess my feelings to her, so I remained her secret admirer. I admired her from afar every day, and gradually, I became obsessed. I confided in Jin Hyung about my feelings, and he advised me to ask her out. However, the next day, when I finally gathered the courage, I learned that she had already left. And that's it," he finished, tousling Yn's hair.

"What? That's it!? How can something just end like that?" Yn stood up abruptly, surprise etched across her face. "What more do you expect? Do you think my life is some K-Drama?" Taehyung chuckled. "But, considering all the hype, I can't believe the story ended there. I'm certain you're hiding something," Yn stated firmly, crossing her arms and scrutinizing him. "Oh, come on. That's it. Why don't you believe me? And besides, it doesn't even matter now. I have you, and let's not dwell on the past," Taehyung pulled at Yn's sweatshirt, urging her to lie back down on his chest. "Come on, sleep now. You have work in the morning, and it's already late," he reminded her, patting her head gently while covering them both with a cozy blanket.

"Goodnight, darling," he kissed her cheek and began to stroke her back. Yn  closed her eyes, but her mind wandered, pondering the truth behind what had transpired between Taehyung and the mysterious girl. Was Taehyung being truthful? Or was he hiding something? The night wrapped around them as they both lay there, entangled in each other's embrace, their minds swirling with unspoken questions and unexplored stories.

Did y'all like the confession?

Soo let's wait...
