UNLIKELY ALLIES [KTH:FF]

INVITATION

{13}

As Taehyung returned from the office, Y/n couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. His usually bright demeanor was replaced with an odd behavior that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Y/n- Taehyung, dinner's ready.

Y/n called out, her voice filled with annoyance. She expected him to come rushing to the table as he always did, but instead, he barely acknowledged her presence. He simply hummed in response, his eyes fixed on some unknown point in the distance.

Y/n's frustration grew as she watched him.

Y/n- What's wrong with you today? You're not acting like yourself.

She asked, her voice laced with irritation. Taehyung finally tore his gaze away and cautiously met Y/n's eyes.

Taehyung- Nothing, just a long day at work, that's all.

Y/n didn't buy it. She had seen through his façade's countless times before.

Y/n- Don't lie to me, Taehyung. I can tell when something's bothering you.

He sighed, albeit reluctantly, and took a seat at the dining table opposite Y/n. There was a moment of silence as they stared at each other, a tangible tension between them.

Taehyung-I saw something today.

He finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. 

Y/n- What do you mean?

Taehyung- Nothing.

He said and started eating while Y/n was confused at his behavior.

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

After finishing their dinner, Y/n and Taehyung made their way back to their room. Y/n felt a mix of exhaustion and anticipation as they entered the quiet space.

Deciding to freshen up first, Y/n excused herself and headed towards the bathroom. As she emerged, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, she was caught off guard by Taehyung's sudden grip on her wrist. His touch was both firm and gentle, and a spark of electricity shot through her body, leaving her momentarily speechless.

With a stern glint in his eyes, Taehyung smoothly pulled Y/n onto his lap, surprising her even further. Caught off balance by his action, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck to steady herself. Their close proximity intensified the swirling emotions that existed between them.
