Eternal Twilight / Kim Taehyung

Chapter 4

The week flew by in a blur of lectures, assignments, and the growing tension between Y/N and her enigmatic partner, Taehyung. As Sunday approached, Y/N received a text from Jungkook, inviting her to his birthday party that evening. She was excited but also a bit nervous. The party was set to be a grand affair, and she wanted to make a good impression.

On the day of the party, Y/N decided to wear a short red dress that highlighted her natural beauty. Her hair fell in soft waves down her back, and she opted for minimal, natural makeup that accentuated her features without overpowering them. She felt confident and elegant, though a small part of her was apprehensive about the evening.

She met up with one of her friends from university, who had also been invited, and together they made their way to the venue—a stylish, upscale club in the heart of Lausanne. The place was already buzzing with energy as they arrived, the sound of laughter and music spilling out into the street.

As they entered the club, Y/N felt a wave of eyes turn towards her. She glanced around and noticed that many people were admiring her outfit, their whispers and glances making her blush slightly. She couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious, but she tried to brush it off, reminding herself that she was here to have a good time.

The club was a vibrant mix of lights and colors, with a dance floor that was already packed with people enjoying the music. Jungkook was easy to spot amidst the crowd, beaming with joy as he greeted his guests. He spotted Y/N and her friend, waving them over with enthusiasm.

"Y/N! You made it!" Jungkook said, pulling her into a warm hug. "I'm so glad you're here. Let's get you a drink!"

As the night wore on, Y/N mingled with the guests, enjoying the lively atmosphere. She felt a bit of a buzz from the music and the excitement of the party. However, she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, and when she glanced around, she caught sight of Taehyung standing by the bar, his gaze fixed on her. His intense stare made her heart race, but she quickly looked away, trying to focus on enjoying the evening.

Jimin, who was in high spirits, approached Y/N with a charming smile. "You look absolutely stunning tonight," he said, his tone smooth and flirtatious. "Care to dance?"

Y/N hesitated, feeling a bit uncomfortable. "Thank you, Jimin, but I'm not really in the mood to dance right now."

Jimin's smile faltered slightly, but he didn't push the issue. Instead, he leaned in a little closer, his voice dropping to a softer, more intimate tone. "Come on, don't be shy. It'll be fun."

Before Y/N could respond, Taehyung appeared seemingly out of nowhere, his presence commanding attention. His gaze was icy as he looked at Jimin, his voice sharp and unyielding. "Jimin, give her some space. She said she doesn't want to dance."

Jimin looked taken aback, a flash of irritation crossing his face. "I was just being friendly, Taehyung."

"Friendly or not, you're making her uncomfortable," Taehyung said firmly, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Now step back."

Jimin muttered something under his breath but complied, retreating to the side. Y/N, though still feeling a bit shaken, was grateful for Taehyung's intervention. She glanced at him, her heart fluttering slightly as their eyes met.

"Thank you, Taehyung," she said quietly, her voice barely audible over the music.

Taehyung nodded, his expression softening. "You're welcome. I just don't like seeing people make you uncomfortable."

As the evening continued, Y/N found herself increasingly drawn to Taehyung's presence. The way he had stood up for her, the intensity in his eyes—it all made her feel both intrigued and at ease. She decided to take a break from the crowd and headed towards a quieter corner of the club, hoping for a moment of peace.

Taehyung followed her, his movements smooth and deliberate. He approached her with a gentle smile, his eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. "Would you like to get some fresh air?" he asked. "It's a bit crowded in here."

Y/N nodded, appreciating the chance to escape the noisy club. They stepped out onto a balcony that overlooked the city, the cool night air refreshing against their skin.

The city lights twinkled below them, creating a serene backdrop as they stood in comfortable silence. Taehyung leaned against the railing, looking out over the view while Y/N stood beside him, her thoughts racing.

"You know," Taehyung began, breaking the silence, "I've never seen you like this before. You look... different. Beautiful."

Y/N's cheeks flushed at the compliment, and she turned to face him. "Thank you, Taehyung. You look pretty good yourself."

Taehyung's smile widened slightly, though there was a sadness in his eyes. "It's been a long time since I've felt this way about someone. I know it's complicated, but... I can't help but feel drawn to you."

Y/N's heart skipped a beat, and she took a step closer to him. The air between them seemed to crackle with a palpable tension. "Taehyung, I—"

Before she could finish, Taehyung gently cupped her face in his hands, his eyes searching hers for a moment. Then, as if guided by an unspoken understanding, he leaned in and kissed her.

The kiss was soft and tentative at first, a gentle exploration of feelings that had been building between them. But as their lips moved together, the kiss deepened, becoming more passionate and urgent. Y/N's head spun, her emotions overwhelming her as she wrapped her arms around Taehyung's neck, pulling him closer.

When they finally broke apart, both of them were breathless, their faces flushed. Taehyung looked at Y/N with a mixture of vulnerability and relief, his fingers still lingering on her cheek.

"I didn't mean to—" Taehyung began, but Y/N silenced him with a gentle touch to his lips.

"It's okay," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "I wanted it too."

They stood there for a moment longer, savoring the connection they had just shared. The party seemed distant now, its noise fading into the background as they remained in their own little world.

When they finally decided to head back inside, Taehyung offered to drive Y/N home, and she gratefully accepted. They left the club together, the night still young and full of possibilities.

As they drove through the quiet streets of Lausanne, the earlier excitement of the party felt like a distant memory. The only thing that mattered now was the feeling of Taehyung's hand brushing against hers, the warmth of his gaze, and the promise of what the future might hold.
