UNLIKELY ALLIES [KTH:FF]

FIRST NIGHT

{10}

As Taehyung and Y/n arrived at the Kim household, the tension in the air was palpable. The Kims led the newlyweds into the living room, adorned with family portraits and cherished memories. Y/n couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, realizing her own family was absent from this picture-perfect tableau.

As they settled onto the couch, Taehyung's father, cleared his throat to break the silence. 

T/f- Y/n, Taehyung, we understand that this marriage was not by choice for either of you.

He began, his voice laced with empathy.

T/f- But we hope that, in time, you will find something unexpected about each other. Something that will bring you closer together.

Y/n looked up at Mr. Kim, her eyes filled with nervousness.

Y/n- Thank you, uncle.

She said quietly. Taehyung's mother embraced Y/n tightly, tears of joy cascading down her cheeks.

T/m- Welcome to our family, my dear, I couldn't imagine a better partner for my son.

She whispered, her voice filled with genuine emotion

T/m- We're here to support both of you and help you build a strong foundation for your future together.

Y/n- A strong foundation? More like a never-ending war zone.

She muttered under her breath. Mrs. Kim overheard her comment, and her eyes twinkled mischievously.

T/m- Well, a little healthy competition never hurt anyone. You two will make a perfect team in no time, mark my words.

Taehyung couldn't help but smirk at his mother's comment. He looked at Y/n, suppressing a chuckle, and said,

Taehyung- Looks like my parents have high hopes for us, Y/n. Let's not disappoint them, shall we?

Y/n rolled her eyes and responded with a sarcastic tone, 

Y/n- Oh yes, Taehyung. Let's win the 'Married Couple from Hell' award together.

Despite themselves, Taehyung's parents burst into laughter. This lighthearted moment seemed to break down the walls between Taehyung and Y/n just a little bit.

-----------------------------

Taehyung and Y/n stood at the foot of the bed, glowering at one another, fueling the tension that simmered throughout the room. Taehyung stared at the bed, a determined glint in his eyes.

Taehyung- There's no way I'm sleeping on the floor tonight.

He declared firmly. Y/n crossed her arms, matching his defiant gaze.

Y/n- Well, I'm not giving up the bed either. This is my room too, you know.

The two of them locked eyes, the tension in the air palatable.
