As the days passed, Taehyung and Ria grew closer, their bond deepening with every shared moment.
They understood each other in ways no one else did. In front of his parents, Taehyung continued to play the part, pretending that his time with Ria was merely for the sake of the company.
But when he was with her, he was free to be his true self.
With Ria, Taehyung let go of the weight of expectations and responsibilities. She brought color and warmth to his life, filling the void he hadn't realized was there.
Every laugh, every shared glance, every gentle touch made him feel alive in a way he hadn't felt in years. She was his escape, his solace, and his source of happiness.
In her presence, Taehyung did everything he had always wanted to do. He let his guard down, indulged in simple joys, and embraced the freedom of just being.
Ria brought life to life, making every moment with her feel like an adventure, a new beginning.
The sky is painted with hues of orange and pink as the sun sets, casting a warm glow on the quiet road where Taehyung and Ria are walking hand in hand.
The gentle breeze rustles the leaves on the trees, and the distant sound of birds chirping adds to the tranquility of the moment. Taehyung's grip on Ria's hand tightens slightly, as if to remind himself that this is real.
"It's strange, isn't it? How quickly things can change... How we've changed." Ria said while smiling softly, glancing at their intertwined fingers
"Not strange at all. It feels like it was meant to be... like I've been waiting for this all along." his voice tender, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
Ria looks up at him, her heart swelling with emotion.
The vulnerability in his voice, so different from the composed façade he shows the world, makes her feel closer to him than ever
playfully ..."Look at you, Mr. Businessman, getting all sentimental on me. What would your parents think?" laughs softly, the sound deep and warm .
."They'd probably say I've lost my mind... but they don't know the real me. Not like you do, there are different sides of me , that no one knows."
"And who is the real Taehyung? The one you don't show to anyone else? Ria said slowly.
She stops walking, turning to face him, her gaze searching his.
Taehyung hesitates, the question hanging in the air between them. His heart pounds in his chest as he looks into her eyes, a storm of emotions swirling within him.
He wants to tell her, to show her the parts of himself that he keeps hidden from the world, but fear holds him back. What if she doesn't understand? What if she pulls away?
He's never been this close to anyone before, never felt this exposed.
The idea of letting her see all of him-the good and the bad-terrifies him. What if he loses her? What if he loses everything he's built up to now? The thought of it is enough to make him pause, his words caught in his throat.
