"Opposite Attracts" ||Kim Taehyung FF||

chapter 29

As she walked alone, Iris found herself lost in thought, her mind swirling with questions and uncertainties about Taehyung. Why had he suddenly changed his attitude towards her? What had caused this possessive behavior? The more she thought about it, the more confused she felt.  She continued walking, lost in her own world, oblivious to the commotion and conversations happening around her.

Iris was abruptly pulled out of her thoughts as she felt a familiar arm encircling her waist. Startled, she turned to find Taehyung standing beside her, a playful gleam in his eyes. She tensed for a moment, her body instinctively reacting to his sudden contact. He pulled her closer, his hold on her waist tightening slightly, as if staking his claim.

Iris: Taehyung!

Taehyung smiled slyly, noticing the mixture of surprise and annoyance in her voice. He tightened his arm around her waist, his hand slowly caressing her hip. 

Taehyung: Yes, princess? 
Iris: What is this. Remove your hand.
Taehyung: And why should I?
Iris: Again!Seriously?!

Taehyung chuckled, enjoying the mixture of irritation and slight flustered expression on her face. He leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. 

Taehyung: I like having my arm around you, princess. It reminds you who you belong to. Plus, you look cute when you're annoyed.
Iris: Shut up. I'm still mad at you!

Taehyung chuckled, his hand continuing to gently caress her hip. He leaned in closer, his breath tickling her neck. 

Taehyung: Oh, I know you are. But even when you're mad, you can't deny that you like being close to me. But Come on princess! I said I was sorry and I will never do it in my whole life again.

Iris looked up at him, her expression torn between irritation and slight surrender. She wanted to stay angry, to keep up the pretense, but the sincerity in his voice and the pleading look in his eyes made it difficult. 
She moved away from his loosened grip and crossed her arms, trying to maintain some sense of annoyance.

Iris: Apologizing doesn't automatically erase what you did, Taehyung. I'm still mad.
Taehyung; I know, princess. I know apologising won't erase what I did. But I'm sincere, I promise I'll never grip you so tightly again. Just give me a chance to make it up to you.
Iris: No!

Taehyung's forehead creased slightly at her firm refusal. He knew it would take more than just an apology to make up for his possessive behavior. He tried a different approach. 

Taehyung: Come on, princess. Don't be so stubborn. Can't you see I'm trying? I really am sorry. How can I make it up to you?

Iris remained stubbornly silent for a moment, still frustrated and irritated. But deep down, she could feel her anger slowly melting away. The sincerity in his voice, the gentleness in his touch, it was hard to resist. 
She sighed, her arms slowly uncrossing from her chest.

Iris:  stop it.
Taehyung: Oh god! Girls and their tantrums. I will die like this!
Iris: This is not a tantrum, Taehyung. You're the one who acted like a complete idiot with your possessiveness. You can't just say sorry and expect everything to be fine, especially when you've given me every reason to be mad at you.
Taehyung: Alright, do wanna have icecream with me?

Iris raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting his sudden suggestion. She considered his offer for a moment, her irritation slowly fading. 

Iris: Ice cream? Do you seriously think that'll make up for your stupidity?

Taehyung chuckled, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist again, pulling her closer. 

Taehyung: : No, not entirely. But it's a start, right? Let me take you out for some icecream. I promise I'll be on my best behaviour.
