✅ Second Chance || Taehyung x Reader ||

Chapter 4

When you decided to give him another chance, you didn't have much expectations from him. You thought he would just play husband around you. Talk more with you, indulge in conversation like a husband does. Come home early and eat with you.

But you were proven wrong on the very first day after the big argument when you woke up and found Taehyung still in the house, in the living room with a newspaper taking his attention and a few cups of steaming hot coffee on the coffee table. 

Never in the 7 months of living together with him had he spent the first hour of the day at home with you. He was always either out on a run, in the gym or already gone to work. Not expecting to see him this early morning, with his usually sleek back hair in a mess atop his head and the most comfortable sweats you've seen, he was a sight to behold. 

Too bad he's broken your heart for you to forgive him this soon and act like you're drooling over his appearance. He was handsome. No doubt. Maybe more handsome than the top actors of the country in your eyes but his facial excellence didn't give him a free pass at all the misconducts he's been doing.

Nonetheless, you walked towards the sitting area deliberately slowly. You didn't believe if it's a dream or reality but he wasn't moving away or vanishing so you concluded it was true. 

"Oh. Good morning YN. I made coffee. Come and have a seat" Taehyung greeted you and asked you to join him on the adjacent chair. Your mouth greeted the floor at that. 

Something was severely wrong with the morning. For starters, Taehyung was found in the house after -you checked your watch- 7 am which was usually his work time. And second, he was offering you coffee!! That he made himself! What is wrong with the universe??

But you walked over to the other side of the Isle and sat down opposite to him. He was sipping his drink from one of the cups which you knew contained dark coffee with a little sugar. Just like he liked. And while his favorite mug was occupied, the rest of the cups lined on the counter contained different types of coffee. 

"I didn't know which type you liked so I made the few I know how to make," he offered the tray which had about 5 cups of coffee on it. On closer look, you found out he'd made the basic morning coffee palette. Steaming cups of Americano, Latte, cappuccino and one with cinnamon sprinkled on it. All of them smelled like heaven.

You picked up a cup of filter coffee and poured a little milk on it. That's how you liked your coffee. Bitter with a pinch of sweetness and foamed milk. You didn't catch Taehyung's eyes on you but you could sense the profuse smile on his face as if relishing in the feeling of achieving something crucial. While it's only you indirectly telling him how you liked your coffee. 

He was silently reading his newspaper while you stood up to throw the remaining coffee away in the basin and to then get started with breakfast. You walked towards the kitchen and saw a freshly made batter for what you realized as pancakes. It smelled nice. Vanilla flavored. 

"Oh. I thought you'd like to have pancakes. I know how to make the batter but I'm not so skilled at actually making them" Taehyung told you, as he walked to the kitchen as well. 

You didn't look at him and put on your apron before putting your loose hair around in a bun. Lighting the stove, you heated the pan, put the first one in it and let it cook. He kept looking at how easy it was to actually make pancakes. It was not rocket-science.

You kept making and soon the first batch of deliciously smelling pancakes was ready. You served a plate to Taehyung. He didn't like maple syrup so you didn't pour any over them for him while you took yours with coffee. 

Both of you ate in silence. It was the first day of his repentance and Taehyung had decided that he would try his best to make you believe in him. He would try everything to make you forgive him and give him another chance. He was firm in his decision.
