Idol's Wife

Chapter : 28

As they walked away from the ride, the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the park. Couples strolled hand-in-hand, enjoying the romantic atmosphere. Taehyung and Jayti found themselves swept up in the mood as well.

As they continued walking together, Taehyung’s eyes lit up when he spotted an ice cream truck parked nearby. The playful side of him emerged as he turned to Jayti with a grin.

“Hey, wait here. I’ll be right back,” he said, not giving her time to respond before he jogged over to the truck.

Jayti watched him go, a soft smile on her face. She still felt a little light-headed from their kiss earlier, and her heart was beating faster than usual. She wasn’t sure what this new chapter in their relationship would look like, but she felt something between them had definitely shifted but there still lingered a uncertainty...a fear, Hybe and his relationship with Jennie.

Taehyung returned a few minutes later, holding several cones of ice cream, handing one to Jayti with a boyish grin.

“For you,” he said, then handed the others to his parents, who were sitting nearby on a bench. They smiled in thanks, already lost in their own little world again.

Jayti took the cone, feeling a bit bashful. “You didn’t have to.”

“I wanted to,” Taehyung replied with a wink, taking a big bite of his own.

As they both ate their ice cream, Taehyung couldn’t help but notice the way Jayti looked ...... her cheeks flushed from the excitement of the day, her hair still slightly damp from earlier, and the way her lips moved as she ate her ice cream. She was beautiful in a way that made his heart race, and he felt that familiar pull towards her again.

Suddenly, Taehyung chuckled as he noticed a small dollop of ice cream had smeared on her lips.

“Hold still,” he said, stepping closer.

Before Jayti could ask what he was doing, Taehyung leaned down and gently licked the ice cream off the corner of her lips. The gesture was so sudden and intimate that it made her freeze in place, her eyes widening in surprise.

Her cheeks turned a deep shade of pink as she stared at him, completely caught off guard. “T-Taehyung…”

He smiled playfully, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “What? You had ice cream on your lips.”

Jayti’s blush deepened, and she quickly looked away, trying to hide her flustered state. “You could’ve just told me.”

“Where’s the fun in that?” Taehyung teased, enjoying the way she got flustered so easily around him now. He felt a strange sense of satisfaction knowing that he had this effect on her.

Jayti tried to regain her composure, but the way his gaze lingered on her lips made her heart skip a beat. There was something different in his eyes......something more intense, more real......and it made her feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness all at once.

She took another small bite of her ice cream, trying to focus on anything other than the way Taehyung was looking at her. But it was impossible to ignore. Every part of her was hyper-aware of his presence beside her, the warmth of his body, and the playful glint in his eyes that made her stomach flutter.

“Do I need to watch you while you eat from now on?” Taehyung asked with a teasing grin, leaning a little closer.

Jayti let out a soft laugh, finally meeting his gaze again. “I think I can manage on my own.”

“Hmm, we’ll see about that,” he said, his tone light but with an undercurrent of something deeper.

They stood there for a moment, their ice creams slowly melting in their hands, but neither of them seemed to care. The air between them was charged with something new and electric, something they hadn’t acknowledged before but could no longer ignore.
