Author's POV-

"Well, that went better than expected," Taehyung remarked with a hint of pride in his voice. "Absolutely," Y/N chimed in, her eyes bright with anticipation. "This project has so much potential, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it."

Taehyung turned to her with a warm smile, a genuine appreciation evident in his gaze. "I couldn't agree more, Y/N Your ideas and insights have been invaluable today. I truly appreciate your contribution."

Y/N blushed at the compliment, feeling a sense of validation wash over her. "Thank you, Taehyung. I'm just glad I could help."

"Since we have some free time now, why don't we take a stroll along the beach?" Taehyung suggested, glancing at Y/N with a hopeful smile.

Y/N's eyes lit up at the idea. "That sounds wonderful!" With a nod of agreement, they made their way towards the sandy shores, the gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore guiding their steps.

As they walked along the sandy shore, Taehyung kicked off his shoes, letting the warm grains sift between his toes. "It's been ages since I've been to the beach," he admitted, glancing at Y/N with a grin.

Y/N laughed, the sound echoing against the crashing waves. "Well, I'm glad we could experience it together."

The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden glow across the water as they strolled along the shoreline. Seagulls soared overhead, their cries mingling with the rhythmic sound of the surf.

"It's so peaceful here," Y/N remarked, her gaze sweeping over the endless expanse of ocean. "I can see why people love coming to the beach."

Taehyung nodded, his eyes tracing the line where the sky met the sea. "There's something calming about the ocean. It's like all your worries just wash away with the tide."

They walked in companionable silence for a while, content to lose themselves in the beauty of their surroundings. Every so often, Y/N would bend down to pick up a seashell, marvelling at its intricate patterns before tucking it into her pocket.

As they continued their stroll, Taehyung spotted a cluster of rocks jutting out into the water. "Let's go check that out," he suggested, gesturing towards the rocky outcrop.

Y/N nodded eagerly, her curiosity piqued. Together, they made their way across the sand, carefully navigating the uneven terrain until they reached the rocks.

With the sound of the waves crashing against the shore as their soundtrack, they climbed onto the rocks, exploring the nooks and crannies hidden among the crevices. From their vantage point, they had a breathtaking view of the coastline, the ocean stretching out before them in all its glory.

"It's beautiful," Y/N breathed, her eyes wide with wonder.

Taehyung smiled, his heart swelling with affection as he watched her take in the sight. "Just like you," he murmured, reaching out to brush a lock of hair behind her ear.

Y/N's cheeks flushed pink at his words, a shy smile tugging at her lips. "You're such a smooth talker," she teased, nudging him playfully.

They lingered on the rocks for a while longer, basking in each other's company as the sun dipped lower in the sky. Eventually, they made their way back to the shoreline, their footsteps leaving imprints in the sand as they walked.

As they reached a secluded spot, Taehyung gestured for them to sit, patting the space next to him. "Let's watch the sunset," he suggested, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Y/N settled down beside him, her gaze fixed on the horizon as the sun began its slow descent. The sky was painted in shades of orange and pink, casting a warm glow over the water.
