Destiny: Falling for the Mafia (TaehyungXReader)

Love Strikes Like Lightning

Y/N POV

The next I knew I woke up with fresh tears in my eyes and one still running down to my chin. And with the flashes of my nightmare.

I quickly wiped the tears and got up to get water. I didn't want to disturb anyone so I just took a glass of water without switching on the kitchen light.

Suddenly I heard someone switching on the light.

"What are you doing here in the dark, and at this time?" Taehyung asked me with a raised eyebrow.

"Drinking water?" I showed him the glass in my hand. Suddenly a crack of thunder made me give a low shriek and jump.

"Are you scared?" He laughed.

"I-No, I am not." Anyone could have just seen through this lie. I turned to go back to my room.

"Well, if you are...you can come into my room." He said in a low voice. I stopped in my tracks, looked back, and blinked my eyes twice in surprise.

"What?" I blurted out. He shook his head and muttered, "Never mind." 

I went back to my room but realized I wouldn't be able to sleep with all that thunder and flashes of my nightmares. So I decided to take up Taehyung's offer.

I went to his door and took a deep breath before knocking and turning the handle.

"I-um-am just a little bit kinda scared, so-," Before I could complete my sentence, he chuckled and said "All right." while pushing a pillow on the other side of the bed. I hesitated.

"Do you want me to sleep on the couch?" He asked, no hint of sarcasm.

"It's your bed."

"So will you?"

"No! It's cold." He raised an eyebrow giving me the so-what-then look. "Um- I don't see a problem in us sleeping on opposite sides. As you mentioned, we are married."

He shifted over as I lay down turning my head to the opposite side.

Taehyung POV

I felt a smile when she suggested that we sleep together. But again, we are married. So it's supposed to be that way.

"What did you do today?" I was suddenly curious.

"I read, roamed around and um-slept." I said something like nothing productive. "Hey, it's not my fault, I had a job, but not anymore."

"Did they fire you?"

"What? No! I had to resign because my stepfather made me as I was, well- getting married." What the actual fuck.

"How the hell is that related to your job?"

"Exactly! It isn't. But he made me do it anyway. Now I have nothing to do all day long."

"Do you want a job?"

"Yes! Of course."

"I am the CEO of a company, I can get you a job there."

"I thought you were a mafia?"

"I need to have a business alongside that too idiot. I need a secretary anyway."

"Oh yeah, so should I show you my resume tomorrow?"

"Yes, remind me in the morning."

"All right, thanks by the way." Even in the dark, I could see a smile return to her face. After that, both of us fell asleep. But not for a long time.

I woke up to the sound of someone sniffing and mumbling. I looked over and saw Y/N had fresh tears all over her cheeks. I was shocked and tried to wake her up.

"Mom...don't...die...no...please." She must be having a nightmare. "Aah...no...don't hit me...I...didn't...please..sorry...no."

I have no idea why but seeing her in such a state, I felt a pang in my heart.

She suddenly shot up and wrapped her arms around me. I was too surprised to move but started moving my hand through her hair and patting her back to calm her. We were like that for a minute or so.

She must have realized that so she let go and laid back again.

After some time a huge sound of lightning came and she unconsciously held my arm.

"Since you're gonna do this every few minutes anyway, why don't you just sleep like this." She nodded as I pulled her closer.

I could feel our heartbeats increase as the space between us decreased.
