The mafia

chapter 16

Ara and Taehyung stepped into the office, radiating bright smiles. Entering the lift together, they stood side by side. Ara stole a glance at Taehyung, and with a subtle move, she intertwined her fingers with his. Taehyung, catching her eye, smiled in response. The lift embarked on its slow journey, halting at each floor to welcome more employees.

As each new person entered, eyes turned towards Taehyung and Ara, who stood together, holding hands. Whispers and smiles followed them, with employees exchanging comments about the unexpected but endearing sight. Ara, feeling the attention, blushed, her cheeks taking on a rosy hue. The lift continued its ascent, and when the doors finally opened, Taehyung and Ara exited, leaving behind a buzz of conversations among the intrigued onlookers.

Walking towards their respective cabins, Ara's face still adorned with a shy smile and a hint of embarrassment. When they reached Ara's cabin, Taehyung leaned in and planted a gentle peck on her forehead before heading to his own office. The employees, still processing the unexpected display of affection, looked on in surprise. Ara settled into her seat, feeling the lingering warmth and trying to deflect the curious gazes and comments from her colleagues.

In the evening, as the sky painted itself with reddish hues, Ara enjoyed the sunset while looking out of the car window. Taehyung, with a smile gracing his face, drove the car smoothly, glancing at Ara. Taking notice, he slid his hand into hers, interlocking their fingers. The car cruised along the road, and both of them reveled in the journey back home.

Arriving at his mansion, they stepped out of the car and walked inside, greeted by Jennie.

"Hey!" Jennie exclaimed as they sat next to her, sharing smiles.

"How was your day, Ara?" Jennie inquired. Ara, still smiling, replied, "It was good." While they conversed, Taehyung scrolled through his phone until Jennie playfully snatched it away, insisting they spend more time together.

Jennie then dropped a surprising proposition. "As you both are now quite close to each other, I think it's time for you both to get married. What do you both think?" she asked. Taehyung, smirking, redirected the question to Ara, who blushed, playing with her fingers. Jennie, placing a comforting hand on Ara's thigh, eagerly awaited her response.

Ara nodded shyly, and Jennie, thrilled, proposed, "Let's go shopping as soon as possible." Ara agreed and hurried upstairs to her bedroom.

As Jennie chuckled at Ara's excitement, she turned to Taehyung with a serious suggestion. "Tae, I think you should let her know everything beforehand; that could create problems." Taehyung, looking at her, responded, "Noona, I don't think it's the right time. Everything is going beautifully in our lives, and she has changed me a lot. Let's not think about it now." Holding Ara's bag, he walked upstairs.

"I wish everything goes well in both of your lives forever," Jennie silently prayed with a smile, watching them head upstairs.

Upstairs in the bedroom, Taehyung found Ara in the midst of changing into her night suit. As he entered, his eyes locked onto her with a magnetic allure, causing Ara to blush. He sat on the bed, leisurely taking off his watch, followed by his suit and tie.

Ara, noticing his sexy gaze, couldn't help but smile. She approached him with a cute expression, and Taehyung, captivated, gently pulled her towards him, making her sit on his lap.

"Enjoying the view?" he teased, a playful smirk playing on his lips.

Ara, still smiling, replied, "Maybe a little."

Taehyung, continuing to undress, leaned in and whispered, "You know, you're the most beautiful view I could ever have."

Ara's blush deepened as she playfully nudged him. "Smooth talker," she said, her eyes.

Taehyung chuckled, wrapping his arms around her. "Only for you, babygirl." They shared a tender moment, enveloped in the warmth of each other's presence.

In the tender ambiance of their bedroom, Taehyung leaned in and gave Ara a sweet kiss on her lips, deepening the connection between them. As the kiss broke, he looked into her eyes, a soft smile playing on his lips.

"So, my love," Taehyung said, his fingers gently caressing her cheek, "where do you want to say 'I do'? Any dream location?"

Ara softly look at him and said. "How about a normal wedding? This will sound perfect."

Taehyung grinned, "A normal wedding it is, then. And what about our honeymoon? Any specific destination in mind?"

Ara looked at him with a playful glint in her eyes. "Everywhere you take me is where I want to go."

Taehyung chuckled.

Ara smiled affectionately and kissed him on the forehead. "I love you."

With a tender gesture, Taehyung gently laid her on the bed. As he began to undress, Ara halted him with a shy yet determined look.

"Taehyung," she whispered, her cheeks tinged with a blush, "I want to give myself to you on our wedding night, as a special gift."

Taehyung, touched by her sincerity, paused and kissed her forehead and nod.

Amidst laughter and shared dreams, the atmosphere in the room suddenly shifted when Ara's stomach let out a loud growl. She looked down in surprise, and then up at Taehyung with a playful pout. Taehyung couldn't help but smile at her adorable expression.

Taking the opportunity, he gently picked Ara up, cradling her in his arms, and carried her downstairs to the dining table. He playfully teased, "Someone's hungry, huh?"

Ara grinned, "Maybe a little."

Taehyung placed her on a chair and called out to his sister, "Jennie, dinner time!"

Jennie, who was nearby, joined them at the table, and Taehyung instructed the maid to serve dinner. As the delicious aroma filled the air, Ara's anticipation grew.

The maid served a variety of dishes, and they all started to eat. Hungry Ara wasted no time, savoring the flavors with each bite. Jennie joined in, and soon, all three were engrossed in their meal.

Taehyung, however, couldn't take his eyes off Ara. He watched her enjoy the food with a pretty smile on her face.

Ara, content and satisfied after the delicious dinner, lay down on her bed, rubbing her stomach with a smile. Taehyung entered the room, asking with a playful smile, "Enjoyed the dinner?"

She smiled and rolled aside, creating space for Taehyung to lay down next to her. The room was filled with a cozy ambiance, and as Taehyung settled beside her, Ara looked into his eyes and replied, "It was amazing."

Taehyung chuckled.

They lay side by side, the quiet comfort of the room wrapping around them. Taehyung reached out, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind Ara's ear. With a soft smile.
