Beomgyu, still in shock, looked at the man with a mixture of confusion and hope. "Taehyung?" he asked, his voice trembling. "What are you doing here?"

Taehyung stepped forward, looking like he had just won the lottery of awkwardness. "Uh, Beomgyu, could you give Y/n and me a minute?" he said, his voice full of the kind of hesitation usually reserved for asking someone out on a date.

Beomgyu blinked, clearly taken aback. "Uh, okay. But if you need anything—"

"She'll scream," Taehyung finished for him. "Got it. Thanks."

Beomgyu, clearly unsure but unwilling to argue, gave Y/n one last, comforting squeeze before heading toward the door. "Remember, if you need an escape route, I'm just a call away."

As the door clicked shut, Taehyung turned to Y/n with a look that was half determined, half guilty. "Y/n, I need to talk to you about something."

Y/n wiped her eyes and took a deep breath. "What is it, Taehyung? And make it quick. I'm fresh out of tissues."

Taehyung, looking as if he were about to give the world's most uncomfortable speech, took a deep breath. "I didn't leave with the others because... well, I don't want to go back to being Prince Hans. I like being Taehyung. He's like me, but with fewer royal responsibilities and more freedom to make questionable life choices."

Y/n looked puzzled. "But what about the others? They're all back on the TV now. Isn't that kind of a problem?"

Taehyung shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant. "Honestly, I don't care if I'm stuck here alone. What matters is that I'm with you. But if you really don't want me around, I'll leave. Just please don't send me back on the TV. The last thing I need is to wear a crown again."

Y/n's heart melted at his earnestness. "Oh, Taehyung, don't be silly. You're welcome to stay. Besides, who else is going to give me a cold shoulder that I've grown so fond of?"

Taehyung's face brightened up like he had just won a very small but significant victory. "Really? You mean it?"

Y/n nodded, her smile widening. "Absolutely. And while we're at it, you might want to help me with the final touch."

Taehyung looked confused. "Final touch? What do you mean?"

Y/n walked over to a corner and picked up a baseball bat. "You see, I need to finish the job. This TV isn't going to smash itself, and it's more fun if I have an accomplice."

Taehyung's eyes widened. "A baseball bat? Why do you have it? Are you planning on starting a new sports career or something?"

Y/n laughed, shaking her head. "No, silly. It was Beomgyu's old one which he kept here for me to swing it to protect myself. I'm going to make sure no more villains can come through this TV. Plus, it's quite therapeutic."

Taehyung handed her the bat with a grin. "Alright then. Smash away. But make sure you don't accidentally hit me. I'm not exactly built for a baseball career."

With a determined look, Y/n swung the bat with all her might, sending the remnants of the TV flying across the room. The sound of glass shattering was oddly satisfying.

"There!" Y/n said, setting the bat down triumphantly. "No more villains escaping through this TV."

With a heavy heart and a resolve to honor the memories of her friends, Y/n looked at the pieces of the TV screen, knowing that she had done all she could to protect her world. The adventures, the laughter, and the challenges they had faced together would remain with her always.

Taehyung clapped, looking both impressed and relieved. "Well done! Now that that's taken care of, what's next? Are we planning to renovate the room, or is there a new villain on the horizon?"

Y/n chuckled, shaking her head. "For now, we can just enjoy the peace. Let's not rush into any more crises for the next five minutes."

Taehyung took a step closer and gently took Y/n's hands in his. "You know, I've been thinking. I want to stay here with you. I may neither be Prince Hans nor do I possess powers anymore, but being Taehyung is pretty great, especially when it means being with you."

Y/n smiled, her heart warming at his words. "I'm glad you feel that way. You can stay here as long as you want. We'll figure things out together."

Taehyung's face lit up, and he pulled Y/n into a tight embrace. "Thank you, Y/n. I promise to be the best Taehyung I can be."

Y/n hugged him back, feeling a sense of contentment. "And I promise to be the best Y/n. I'll even let you use the TV remote—just don't break it."

As they stood there, embracing, Taehyung moved back and picked up the baseball bat. "Oh, and I thought you might need this for future TV-related incidents. Consider it a souvenir."

Y/n raised an eyebrow. "A souvenir? You're giving me a baseball bat as a memento?"

Taehyung nodded, looking serious. "Absolutely. It's a symbol of our victory over the villains and my contribution of witnessing your TV destruction."

Y/n laughed, taking the bat with mock seriousness. "Well, I'll make sure to cherish it. And if any more villains show up, I'll know who to call."

Taehyung winked. "I'm always here for you. Unless, of course, there's another storm. In that case, I might be busy avoiding lightning."

Y/n laughed, her spirits lifting as the evening progressed. The chaos of the past days seemed like a distant memory as they settled into a comfortable routine. Taehyung's presence was a welcome source of joy, and the two of them enjoyed a quiet evening together.

As the night grew darker, they sat together on the couch, reminiscing about their adventures and making plans for the future. Taehyung's jokes and playful banter kept Y/n entertained, and the warmth of their connection filled the room.

Finally, as the night drew to a close, Taehyung turned to Y/n with a thoughtful expression. "You know, I never thought I'd find myself in this situation—staying with someone I barely knew, helping her deal with a broken TV and a bunch of Disney villains. But I wouldn't change it for the world."

Y/n smiled, her eyes shining with affection. "Neither would I. It's been an incredible journey, and I'm grateful for every moment."

Taehyung leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on the crown of her head. "Here's to new beginnings, to staying true to ourselves, and to facing whatever comes our way together."

Y/n looked up at him with a soft smile. "Here's to that. And to a future full of laughter, adventure, and maybe fewer TV-related disasters."

As they embraced, the room was filled with a sense of peace and contentment. The chaos of the past days had given way to a new chapter in their lives, one that promised joy, companionship, and endless possibilities.

And so, as the stars twinkled outside and the night grew still, Taehyung and Y/n knew that their journey was far from over. The adventures they had shared, the challenges they had faced, and the bond they had forged were all part of a story that was just beginning.

With hope in their hearts and a shared sense of purpose, they looked forward to the future, ready to face whatever came their way together. The world outside might be full of uncertainty, but within the walls of Y/n's home, they had found a place where they truly belonged.

As they drifted off to sleep, the promise of new adventures and the comfort of each other's presence filled their dreams, and they knew that, no matter what, they would face it all together.

Y/n knew that the journey they had shared was one she would cherish forever. The bonds they had formed, the lessons they had learned, and the love they had shared would remain a part of her, guiding her as she moved forward.

The room was quiet, but the echoes of their laughter and the warmth of their friendship lingered, a reminder of the extraordinary adventure they had shared. And as Y/n gazed out the window at the now calm evening sky, she felt a sense of peace, knowing that, though they had parted ways, their memories would stay with her always.

"Taehyung?"

"Hmm?"

"Should we buy another TV?"

"Oh God! NO!"
