A MAN TO HONOR

chapter twenty seven

Taehyung

I keep looking around to spot Kailah, but it seems like she vanished into thin air

I feel my blood pressure rising just knowing she's somewhere with my cousin, who is the epitome of charm and, honestly, fun

Everyone loves Kim Seokjin, so I'm not letting that man alone with my girl

my whole body stiffens, and i know Dae-Kyeong senses my discomfort, we're not even dancing at this point anymore, i'm just looking for the woman i love with my eyes

" You're looking for her aren't you? " Says Dae-Kyeong finally

" She is my guest, of course I'm looking for her "

" If you want my opinion, I think she is not simply your guest Taehyung "

I look at her with a frown

" No matter what you think she is, you're right "

" I understand now why you are so different, you've been doing very questionable things lately, you are no longer the Taehyung I used to know, it's clear that she influences you in a very bad way "

" Influences me in a bad way? You don't even know her " I retaliate with anger

" But I know you, and trust me Taehyung she is not good for you "

" And what's good for me? Let me guess...you? " I reply coldly

She looks at me and I see her face darkening, all her usual good humor disappear to reveal a very different Dae-Kyeong

" Why ? "

" What? " I ask, confused

" Why her? "

I let go of her and break our dance posture to take a step away

" Why anyone else when she exists ? "

She bites her lower lip and I can see something undescribable passing through her eyes

the melodious music that the orchestra plays in the background suddenly seems like an anthem for the villains of a fantastic story

" Momma Kim will never agree to this, this woman makes you a wanton, an indulgent and she makes you a shameless person "

I look at her straight in the eyes

" I don't need my mother's approval, or yours , what if from now on you find something better to do than putting your noses in my life and acting as if you were doing this cause you care about me ? "

Without waiting, her hand landed on my cheek in anticipation of a slap, but it didn't have the effect she wanted, her frail hand didn't even make me flinch

but his gesture was enough to attract the attention of a few curious people around us

" I'm hallucinating! Since when do you allow yourself to be so rude? I don't allow you to speak to me in that tone, everything I've done so far is because I care about you, I worry about you and your well-being, Taehyung you've gone crazy, this woman will lead you to your ruin" she says with an emotional voice

" This may be exactly where I want to be led " I utter

We look at each other for a few seconds before I walk away first

Enough talk, I need to find Kailah

I've wasted too much time on the dance floor just to get pissed

I'm tired and exhausted of people acting like they know better what is good for me, acting as if they have free pass in my life to do whatever they want
