Next day

The sweet aroma of freshly baked goods filled the air, drawing everyone to Yn's house. The sound of chatter and laughter filled the space, mingling with the excited squeals of the younger cousins. Chikoo, the mischievous one, was already getting into trouble, causing everyone to chuckle. Amidst the chaos, Taehyung's parents joined the gathering, smiling warmly as they took their seats at the dining table. But amidst the lively atmosphere, two notable absences caught everyone's attention - Yn and Taehyung. Their seats remained empty, a stark contrast to the warmth and love that filled the room. The family exchanged concerned glances, whispers of the previous day's events circulating among them. Ana, Yn's best friend, caught Taehyung's mother's eye, a subtle nod passing between them. The tension was palpable, but the family's love and support for one another was unwavering, a beacon of hope for the troubled couple.

Ana's hand hovered over her phone, about to call Yn, when Yn appeared in the doorway, her swollen eyes drawing everyone's attention. Yn's parents asked, "Yn, what's wrong? Why are your eyes like that?" Yn mumbled, "I just slept too much, that's all." Her parents exchanged a knowing glance, sensing there was more to it. "Well, go call Taehyung for breakfast," they suggested, trying to sound casual. But Yn's mind was elsewhere. She nodded, then forgot about breakfast, her feet carrying her towards Taehyung's room instead. The family watched in silence, concern etched on their faces. Ana started to follow, but Yn's mother gestured for her to stay back. Yn reached Taehyung's door, her hand hesitating over the doorknob. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. What would she say to him? Could they mend things? Her thoughts swirled as she slowly turned the knob and pushed open the door.

Yn knocked on the door, but the silence was deafening. She hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open and entering without waiting for a response. The sight that greeted her made her heart skip a beat - Taehyung, fresh from the bathroom, was standing in front of her, his chiseled body wrapped only in a towel. Yn's eyes widened, and she quickly shifted her gaze away, trying to compose herself.
But before she could even take a step back, Taehyung was beside her, his movements swift and silent. He closed the door behind her, the sound of the lock clicking into place making Yn's heart race. His hand grasped her wrist, his fingers wrapping around it like a vice.
"What's your problem, Yn?" Taehyung's voice was low and menacing, his eyes blazing with anger. "Why have you come? I told you not to talk to me, yet you're bothering me like a shameless person."
Yn's eyes met Taehyung's, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her. "My family likes you, and I came to remind you to come to breakfast. You need to act like the perfect son-in-law, after all."
Her words were laced with a hint of sarcasm, and Taehyung's grip on her wrist tightened. Yn could feel his anger simmering just below the surface, his eyes flashing with a warning.
The air was thick with tension as they stood there, the distance between them charged with unspoken emotions. Taehyung's face was inches from Yn's, his breath whispering against her skin. Yn's heart raced beneath his touch, her pulse pounding in her ears.
For a moment, they just stared at each other, the silence between them speaking volumes. Then, Taehyung's gaze dropped to Yn's lips, his eyes lingering there for a moment before he looked away, his jaw clenched.
"Let me go," Yn whispered, trying to wriggle free from his grasp.
Taehyung's eyes snapped back to hers, his grip tightening. "No," he growled, his voice low and husky. "You're not going anywhere until we settle this."

Taehyung's gaze remained fixed on Yn's lips, his eyes burning with intensity. Yn's heart skipped a beat as she thought he was going to kiss her, her lips parting slightly in anticipation. But instead, Taehyung's expression twisted in anger, and he suddenly unlocked the door, his hand releasing her wrist.
"Get lost," he whispered, his voice low and menacing. "Before I shout on you."
Yn felt a sting from his words, her face burning with embarrassment and hurt. She took a step back, her eyes never leaving Taehyung's face. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the tension between them palpable.
Then, Yn turned and fled, the sound of the door slamming shut behind her echoing through the hallway. She didn't stop running until she reached her room, locking the door behind her and collapsing onto the bed, her heart heavy with emotion.
Taehyung's words kept echoing in her mind, "Get lost," a harsh reminder of the rift between them. Yn buried her face in her pillow, tears streaming down her face as she wondered if things would ever go back to normal.
