Jennie: It's just that I feel like you're the perfect partner for him, and it would make me very happy if you have feelings for him.

Ara remained silent for a minute, trying to understand her own emotions. "Unnie, I'm not sure about what I feel yet, so I need some time," she finally replied. Jennie smiled at her reassuringly and said, "That's okay, Ara. Take all the time you need. Just follow your heart." With that, Jennie left for Busan.

In the evening, Taehyung returned home to find Ara engrossed in her laptop. He silently approached her from behind, curious about what she was doing. "Are you searching for jobs?" he asked, making his presence known. Ara jumped in surprise, her attention now fully on Taehyung. She adjusted herself on the couch and he sat down next to her.

Taehyung: So, you want to find a job?

Ara: Yes, I do.

Taehyung nodded, a thoughtful expression on his face. "There's a company with a vacancy that you might be interested in. Would you like me to give you the address?"

Ara's eyes lit up with excitement. "Yes, please! That would be amazing. Thank you so much," she replied gratefully.

Taehyung couldn't help but tease her. "Just a 'thank you'? Is that all?"

Ara looked at him, her eyebrows raised. "What else do you want?" she asked playfully.

Taehyung smirked, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "How about a kiss as a token of appreciation?"

Ara's jaw dropped in shock. "What? Have you lost your mind?" she exclaimed, flustered by his audacious request.

Taehyung chuckled, finding her reaction amusing. "Why not? After all, I just shared some important news and helped you out. I think I deserve it," he teased.

Rolling her eyes, Ara stood up abruptly and declared, "No, I can't." But she could go to the kitchen she came behind him and kissed on his cheeks

Taehyung sat there in astonishment, feeling the warmth of Ara's lips on his cheek. A wide smile spread across his face as he touched the spot where she had kissed him. Ara, on the other hand, blushed and hurriedly went to the kitchen, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle at Ara's reaction, finding her playful nature endearing. He followed her into the kitchen, leaning against the countertop, and watched her as she prepared dinner.

"You're such a tease, babygirl," Taehyung said, his voice filled with amusement. "But thank you for the kiss. It made my day."

Ara blushed at his words but didn't utter a word. He laughed when he saw her completely red due to shyness. He walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder. "You know, one kiss is never enough," he whispered into her ear, his breath sending shivers down her spine. He slowly turned her around, looking deeply into her eyes as she kept looking down.

"Babygirl, that kiss was wonderful, but I can't be satisfied with just one. So, please," he said, lifting her chin gently with his finger. Ara's hands instinctively went to his chest, as if trying to create some distance, but he took her hand in his and pressed a soft kiss on her cheek. Her face turned into a ripe tomato, and he chuckled softly.

Then, he leaned in and their lips met in a slow and passionate kiss. Ara was taken aback by the intensity, but she couldn't deny the sparks that ignited between them. After a minute, he broke the kiss, leaving her breathless. "For today, that's quite enough," he murmured, his lips brushing against her ear. "Next time, I'll make sure you respond to my kiss with equal hunger." With that, he left her and went upstairs to change, leaving Ara in a state of shock. She slowly touched her lips, which still felt the lingering warmth of his kiss. Blushing, she composed herself and returned to her work.
