As they reached the parking lot, they saw a row of cars lined up, waiting to transport them to the field trip destination. 

Miss Smith: Alright, everyone! We’ll split into smaller groups and divide yourselves into the cars.

The students began to organize themselves into groups, choosing cars to ride in. Taehyung, Alex, Iris, zoey, mingue were to sit in the same car.

Taehyung and Iris found themselves standing next to each other, both feeling a mixture of anticipation and nervousness about being in the same car together.

As the groups decided on which cars to get into, Iris suddenly noticed that all the available seats were taken, with no space left for her. 
She hesitated for a moment, feeling disappointed.

Iris: Where will I sit, there no seat left ??

Taehyung, who had been closely observing her, noticed her predicament. He glanced at the full car, then back at her. Mingue, the ever-flirtatious guy, saw her dilemma and couldn't resist the opportunity to tease her.  He patted his lap and gave her a smug grin, jokingly suggesting.

Mingue: Hey Iris, you can always sit on my lap. Plenty of room here.
Iris: Seriously!
Mingue: Yeah, seriously. There's no other place, and I don't mind a pretty girl on my lap.(chuckled and winked at her)
Iris: Are you sure??
Mingue: Of course I'm sure. It's not that big a deal. And hey, you'll have the best seat in the car.(He patted his lap again, signaling for her to come closer)
Iris: uhhh... I'm.. I'm not so light weight btw.
Mingue: Come on, don't be ridiculous. You're not that heavy. Besides, I can handle a bit of weight on my lap.(He patted his lap again, his eyes glimmering with mischief)
Iris: I'm not sure if I should sit on your lap. You are literally sitting in the front seat.
Mingue: What, you don't trust me? Am I not a comfortable enough seat for you? Come on, it'll be fun. Just sit on my lap, it's not a big deal.
Iris: Uhh.... Alr-
Taehyung: That’s not happening.

Everyone else, including Mingue, turned to Taehyung, surprised by his sudden and intense reaction.  Mingue raised an eyebrow, a mixture of confusion and annoyance on his face.

Mingue: Dude, chill out. she has no where to sit.
Taehyung: I'm not kidding. She's not sitting on your lap.
Mingue: What's your problem, man? Why are you suddenly being a jerk which you always are?
Taehyung: My problem is that I don’t want her sitting on some guy's lap, especially yours.
Mingue: Oh, come on. You can't dictate where she sits. She can make her own decisions.
Taehyung: I can!

Iris, caught in the middle of the tense exchange between the two guys, felt a mixture of awkwardness and annoyance.  She stepped in, trying to defuse the situation.

Iris: Hey, let's not make a big deal out of this. I will just go to another car.

Taehyung's eyes flicked to Iris, his expression softening for a moment at her words. But his possessiveness still seethed beneath the surface. 

Taehyung: another car? No, you'll not find one. Most of them have already left.
Mingue: he's right so Just sit on my lap, it's not a big deal.
 
Taehyung's eyes flicked back to Mingue, his irritation resurfacing.
Taehyung grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, Iris' heartbeat quickened. She stumbled slightly, catching herself on his solid frame, her body now sitting on his lap. 

He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer, his eyes locking with hers. The tension between them was palpable, and an unspoken current passed through their gazes.

Taehyung's grip on her waist tightened as he pulled her closer, his other hand still lightly clasped around her wrist. He held her gaze, the intensity in his eyes unwavering. 
The others in the car tried to act as if nothing was unusual, but they couldn't help sneaking glances at the scene unfolding. Mingue, in particular, rolled his eyes, clearly irked by Taehyung's possessive behavior.
