Beyond The Surface ( Taehyung FF)

♥⁠╣7╠⁠♥

A/n POV

It had been two weeks since YN and Taehyung became friends. During this time, Taehyung never missed an opportunity to tease and annoy YN. YN, being her usual stoic self, endured Taehyung's annoying remarks.

Despite Taehyung's constant teasing, YN couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort having him as a friend. Taehyung was the first boy she had ever befriended, as she usually stuck to female friendships.

Meanwhile, Jungkook returned from his vacation. Initially, he was shocked to see Taehyung at the university, but after Jimin explained the situation, Jungkook nodded in understanding and didn't ask any further questions.

YN POV

I walked towards my locker, intending to stash my books, but my feet halted mid-step when I saw Taehyung standing there, his back facing me.

Taehyung? What is he doing here? I thought he was with Jimin and Jungkook.

My mind struggled to process the scene before me. I cautiously approached Taehyung, curiosity getting the better of me.

But what I saw next made me stop dead in my tracks, a few meters away from them. Irene was standing in front of Taehyung, listening intently to whatever he was saying. A small smile played on her lips, while Taehyung's face lit up with a triumphant grin, as if he'd just won an Oscar.

I saw Irene walking away from there while Taehyung was still standing there, looking at her disappearing figure. So I walked towards him and tripped on his shoulder. Turning around, Taehyung saw my face and suddenly pulled me into his embrace in a tight hug. A gulp left my mouth because of the sudden pull.

YN: "Taehyung wh__"

Taehyung: "Sweetheart, I am very happy today. I couldn't believe she said yes."

I furrowed my brow and pulled away from the hug, only to see Taehyung beaming with a bright, boxey smile. It was a rare sight - Taehyung usually wore a smirk or a teasing grin on his face. But this... this was different. I couldn't deny it; he looked truly handsome.

Taehyung's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I know I'm handsome, sweetheart." His smirk returned, and I rolled my eyes.

Here we go again, I thought. Just seconds ago, I was admiring his genuine smile and handsome face, and now the devilish smirk was back.

Taehyung chuckled. "Where did you lost, sweetheart?"

I cleared my throat and said, "Nowhere. Why are you happy, by the way?"

Taehyung: "She said yes."

Yn: "She said yes? Hmm, but why? And who said yes, and for what did she say yes, tho?" I asked in one breath.

I saw Taehyung's face, looking at me like I was crazy. I just smiled awkwardly . Taehyung shook his head in disbelief, holding my wrist and starting to drag me.

YN: "Taehyung, where are you taking me?"

Taehyung: "We're going to the park."

YN: "But why?"

Taehyung released my wrist and turned to face me. "I want to tell you something," he said, his eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.

YN: "But Taehyung, you know it's my library time."

Taehyung chuckled. "Yeah, I know, but for today, skip your so-called library time."

I glared at him, my arms crossing over my chest. "No, I'm not coming with you anywhere."

Taehyung took a step closer to me, a smirk spreading across his face. "Are you afraid I might do something to you?" he teased.

I felt a flicker of annoyance. Does he think I'm afraid of him? No way. But then, the library incident flashed in my mind. What if...? I gulped, pushing the thought away. No, no, no. Don't think negative, YN. We're friends now. He wouldn't do anything.

I stood up straight, meeting Taehyung's gaze. "I'm not afraid of you, Mr. Kim Taehyung."

Taehyung: "Really, it's good you're not afraid of me. Now let's go."

Saying that, Taehyung held my wrist again and walked me to the parking lot. He opened the car door for me and told me to get in. As he started the car, I sat quietly.

But then my gaze drifted to Taehyung's veiny hand holding the steering wheel, his sleeves folded up. His whole focus was on driving, and the way he was driving looking... Hot pot WHAT. I quickly looked away, sighing in relief.

Thank God he didn't notice me checking him out, otherwise he'd find another reason to tease me.

"Emma, when did I become a pervert?" I thought to myself, closing my eyes and leaning back in my seat. But my reverie was short-lived, as I heard Taehyung's voice.

Taehyung: "Sweetheart, let's go. We've arrived."

I opened my eyes to find Taehyung opening the car door for me. We both stepped out, and began walking towards the park. But then, Taehyung grasped my wrist again.

Taehyung: "Let's go this side of the park, sweetheart. There's too much crowd."

I nodded and followed Taehyung to the less crowded area of the park. As we reached the spot, I was about to set my bag down on the bench, but my entire body froze in place. My heart skipped a beat when I heard Taehyung's words.

Taehyung: "Sweetheart, do you like me?"
