The sun rises over the city, casting a golden hue across the skyline. Taehyung's bedroom is bathed in the warm morning light that filters through the curtains. Taehyung is still asleep, his phone on the bedside table.
It buzzes softly, breaking the silence of the room. The screen lights up with a new message notification. Taehyung stirs, groggily reaching for his phone.
Taehyung's POV:
He blinks sleepily, rubbing his eyes as he unlocks his phone. The message is from Ria, sent early in the morning.
Text from Ria:
"Good morning, Taehyung! I had a lot of fun last night. I hope you're having a great start to your day. 😊"
Taehyung smiles at the message, his mood lifting instantly. He sits up in bed, his thoughts drifting back to their playful night at the playground.
The memory of their laughter and shared moments fills him with a sense of contentment.
Taehyung's Mind Voice:
"𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒂 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈."
He types a quick response.
Taehyung's Text:
"Good morning, Ria. I had a great time too. Thanks for making last night so enjoyable. 😊"
He sends the message and sets his phone down, feeling a renewed sense of refresh ness.
After a quick shower, he heads downstairs for breakfast, still thinking about the previous night.
Kim Family Breakfast Table
The breakfast table is set with an array of luxurious foods. Mrs. Kim and Mr. Kim are seated, discussing business matters. Taehyung enters, his demeanor noticeably lighter than usual.
Mrs. Kim: "Good morning, Taehyung. You seem in better spirits today."
Taehyung: "Good morning, Mother. Just feeling a bit refreshed."
He sits down and begins to serve himself, trying to maintain a normal conversation despite the thoughts of Ria lingering in his mind.
Mr. Kim: "You've been working hard lately. Any plans for today?"
Taehyung: "Actually, I was thinking of spending some time out and about. Maybe get some fresh air."
Mrs. Kim raises an eyebrow, intrigued by her son's sudden change in demeanor. "Out and about? Is there something specific you have in mind?"
"Just some errands and perhaps meeting a few people. Nothing major." He tries to keep his tone casual, but the hint of excitement is hard to conceal.
Mrs. Kim: "Well, make sure you stay on top of your responsibilities. And remember, the company's interests come first."
