ARREST ME, OFFICER KIM || CHAPTER 14

"You're gorgeous," Mingyu complimented you. You shifted your gaze from Taehyung to him. His eyes shimmered under the moonlight, and you couldn't help but bite your lower lip, raising an eyebrow in amusement, his smile widening.

"You want something from me?" you questioned, trying to hide your amusement.

Mingyu grinned, clearly enjoying the banter. "Yes, your hand," he replied, his tone playful. "For an epic dance, mind giving me a chance?" He then got on one knee, holding his hand out in front of you.

You turned your gaze towards Taehyung, who stood with his jaw clenched, biting back a scoff.

"The ceremony is over, Y/N. I think Soyeon might need you at this time," Taehyung gritted, his gaze intense as he stared at Mingyu, who was still looking at you expectantly, while you were looking at Taehyung.

You glanced back at Mingyu, a smirk playing on your lips. "Well, who am I to refuse such a grand gesture?" you said, taking Mingyu's hand and letting him lead you to the dance floor.

Taehyung closed his eyes in pure disappointment, biting his lip as hard as he could before unfortunately getting inside to follow you. As you began to dance, you couldn't help but steal a glance at Taehyung, whose expression was unreadable.

As you began to dance with Mingyu, you felt a sense of curiosity about this stranger who had suddenly appeared in your life.

"I've never heard of you, though. You came too late," you remarked, a hint of playfulness in your tone. Mingyu smiled at your words, his hand firm yet gentle as he guided you in the dance.

"My flight got delayed, sweetheart. I work in the USA as a fashion designer," he explained, his voice smooth and charming. You chuckled at his explanation, nodding your head in understanding.

"A fashion designer, huh? That explains the impeccable style," you complimented, glancing down at his outfit. As Mingyu guided you through the dance, his presence was both comforting and intriguing.

"You know," he began, his voice low and conspiratorial, "I've always wanted to make my cousin over there feel something. He's always so... stoic."

He nodded in Taehyung's direction, who was now glaring at Mingyu, a rare display of emotion for him. You chuckled at Mingyu's observation.

"I know what you mean. He's like a statue most of the time. It would be interesting to see him actually show some emotion for once," you replied, your gaze shifting back to Taehyung.

"We're on the same side, you and I. Trying to crack the Kim Taehyung," Mingyu remarked, his tone light but with a hint of determination.

As you and Mingyu shared a laugh over your shared mission, you noticed Taehyung finishing his drink and making his way towards you.

His expression was unreadable, but there was a glint in his eye that made you wonder what he was planning.

Taehyung approached with his usual calm demeanour, but there was a subtle tension in his posture that hinted at his underlying emotions. He stopped in front of you and Mingyu, his gaze flickering between the two of you.

"Enjoying the dance?" Taehyung's voice was casual, but you detected a hint of curiosity beneath the surface. "It's been delightful," Mingyu replied smoothly, offering Taehyung a polite smile.

"This girl here is quite the dancer." Taehyung's eyes narrowed slightly, as if trying to decipher Mingyu's intentions.

"I'm glad to hear that. Y/N, may I have a word with you?" he asked, his gaze shifting to you. You nodded, a bit surprised by Taehyung's request.
