Beyond The Surface ( Taehyung FF)

YN POV

Right now, I am standing in front of Mina and Jiya, who are staring at me with confused expressions. Their gazes then shift beside me, where Taehyung stands, his face a mask of seriousness. I feel like I am introducing my boyfriend to my parents, with Mina and Jiya giving off a parental vibe, as if asking, "Who is this man beside you?" I clear my throat and say,

YN: "Hmm, actually, from now on, Taehyung will be eating with us. We recently became friends, just now, hehe."

Jiya looked at YN, raising her eyebrows, and asked, "Recently became friends? Your words don't match your expression."

Taehyung glared at Jiya, his eyes seeming to dare her to say more. YN gulped, sensing the tension. Mina, however, remained undaunted, speaking awkwardly.

Mina: "Oo, it's nice then. Hello, Taehyung. I'm Mina." She forced a smile.

Taehyung nodded and smiled back at her.

Jiya: "And I'm Jiya, you know."

Taehyung's response was icy: "No, I didn't know. Thanks for telling me."

Jiya gave me a "what the hell" look. I awkwardly smiled back at her and said,

Yn:"Let's sit, Taehyung."

Mina chimed in, "Actually, Jimin is joining us too. Since Taehyung is with you, he didn't want to eat alone."

Taehyung raised an eyebrow. "Then where is he?"

Jiya shrugged. "He said he'd be here in a minute."

I was about to sit beside Jiya when Taehyung suddenly grasped my wrist and pulled me beside him. "Sit beside me."

Mina, Jiya, and I exchanged awkward glances, and I took my seat.

Just then, Jimin's voice cut through the air.

Jimin; "Taehyung, you're here! I thought you were with YN... never mind, it's nice to eat together."

Jimin plopped down beside Mina, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere.

We ate in silence for a while, until I broke the silence. "It's nice to have lunch like this as a group. From now on, we should eat together like this. What do you say, Jimin?"

Jimin nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you're right, but someone's missing to complete the group."

We all looked at Jimin with confusion, and Mina asked, "Who?"

"Jungkook," Jimin replied. "He's on vacation, but he'll be back in two days."

We nodded and continued eating, engaging in random conversations. However, my mind kept drifting back to the person sitting beside me, eating peacefully – the same person who had snatched away my peace.

Flashback..

"So, you forgot, sweetheart? Now I have to remind you of our talk."Taehyung's raspy voice sent shivers down my spine.

I tried to downplay my earlier response. "See, I didn't promise you to be friends. It just slipped out of my mouth. Don't take my words seriously."

Taehyung's piercing gaze seemed to bore into my soul as he took deliberate steps towards me, his voice dropping to a deep, ominous tone. "But sweetheart, I always take everything seriously. Now, there's no going back from this."

I gulped hard, frozen by Taehyung's intense gaze. No words would come out of my mouth; I was transfixed, staring at his face. His sharp eyes, his nose, and the mole it's look so... cute. I couldn't deny it; he was handsome. My gaze drifted towards his lips, but Taehyung's voice snapped me back to reality.
