He walked downstairs after finishing his morning routine and heard a familiar voice. A smile formed on his lips as he saw Mr. Park and Y/n hugging. He couldn't see her face, as she was back facing him but the smile on Mr. Park's face made his heart warm.

Mr. Park let go of the hug, noticing Taehyung's presence, and greeted him with a warm smile before giving him a fatherly hug.

"How are you, son?" he asked as they pulled back.

"I'm fine, Appa. How are you and Jaeden?" Taehyung replied with a warm smile. Y/n couldn't help but feel a warmth spreading in her heart at his welcoming gestures.

While the two men were holding a stable conversation, she couldn't resist the urge to steal a quick glance at his entire body. Her stomach tingled terribly at the sight of his incredibly handsome appearance as always. He undoubtedly looks like a Greek god or a charming demon. Well, the latter description seemed more fitting.

Her heart raced when their eyes briefly met. She quickly looked away, with her heart pounding in her chest. She slowly looked back at him from the corner of her eyes, and her heart skipped a beat when she noticed a small, almost imperceptible smirk on his lips as his eyes stared right back at her before he shifted his attention back at Mr. Park who were completely oblivious to the little interaction. Y/n looked down, trying to hold back her blush, and cleared her throat, walking towards them.

"Appa, we were just about to have breakfast. Please come," Y/n said, latching her arms around her father's arm, beaming.

"No, princess, actually I came here to take you with me," Y/n's smile froze instantly and so as Taehyung's. They both frowned at the same time, staring at Mr. Park, who was smiling at Y/n. He chuckled, squeezing her cheek softly.

"Did you forget that today we have a visit to the orphanage? I mentioned it when you called me a few days ago, and you said you would come," he reminded her. Y/n's mouth opened in O shape. A spark of excitement flashed across her face as she smiled widely. Taehyung smiled, watching her gleaming face only for his smile to vanish again.

"And, yeah, you will stay with us tonight," Mr. Park added, causing Taehyung's gaze to snap at them once again. Confusion was written all over his frowned features. Mr. Park noticed his gaze and met his eyes, offering a reassuring smile.

"If that's okay with you," He said to him, sounding almost timid when he noticed the puzzled look on both of their faces. Taehyung darted his eyes from him to her, who was staring at her father a little shocked.

Mr. Park looked back and forth between Y/n and Taehyung, patiently waiting for their response. Y/n smiled awkwardly and then looked at Taehyung, whose piercing gaze was already fixed on her. She didn't know what to say, so she just looked at him whose eyes were turning darker and the demeanor was turning cold.
