"Beautiful....And I really want to create a mess....A beautiful mess." His lips brushed against her ear with each word, sending a shiver down her spine.
His words caught her off guard, causing her to burst into laughter. 'You want what?' she managed...

Jimin's voice broke through Taehyung's thoughts, his words blunt but tinged with concern. "Taehyung," he said, "I think you're falling for her."
Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle initially, his mind still processing Jimin's statement. But as the laughter subsided, he registered the seriousness in Jimin's tone. He looked up at his friend, realization dawning on his face."Wait a minute," Taehyung said, his own words catching him off guard, "You... You think I'm falling for her?!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief and denial.
Jimin's gaze remained steady as he responded, his words matter-of-fact. "Yes, Taehyung," he affirmed. "I do believe you're slowly falling for Isabella, despite your initial intentions."
Taehyung was visibly taken aback by Jimin's declaration, his eyes wide with surprise. He ran a hand through his hair, processing the words and their implications. After a moment of silence, he spoke, his voice filled with a mixture of defensiveness and uncertainty. "Falling for her? That's a stretch, Jimin," he protested, a half-hearted attempt at dismissing the idea.
Jimin's lips curved into a wry smile, his eyes watching Taehyung closely. "Is it, though?" he asked, his tone a mix of skepticism and understanding. "You've been spending time with her, you're concerned about her safety, and you're even questioning your own motivations and feelings. That's not exactly the behavior of someone who hates a person."
Taehyung's voice was firm and defensive as he responded to Jimin. "I know I'm concerned...about...her," he admitted, his eyes avoiding Jimin's gaze. "But that doesn't mean I'm in love with her. It's not love, okay? I can't be in love with Isabella. It just can't be."
Jimin leaned back in his chair, a knowing look in his eyes. "Why not, Taehyung?" he asked, challenging him. "Why can't you be in love with Isabella?"
Taehyung's voice was laced with frustration as he tried to formulate his thoughts. "Because... because we're supposed to hate each other," he said, almost in disbelief. "We've been family rivals for years. It doesn't make sense for me to fall for her suddenly. It's just not possible."
Taehyung's voice hardened as he clenched his fists in frustration. "And she doesn't even know who I am! She has no idea that I'm her rival, but I do!" he exclaimed. "I know exactly who she really is, and it complicates everything. How can I fall for someone who's my Father's and my enemy's daughter? It's like a contradiction in my own mind!"
Jimin continued to observe Taehyung's struggle, sensing the inner turmoil he was experiencing. "Love doesn't always follow logic, Taehyung," he said gently. "Sometimes it doesn't care about rivalry or being enemies. It just exists, regardless of the circumstances."
Taehyung's expression darkened as he responded, his voice laden with anguish. "But I can't let it be," he protested, his voice strained. "I can't let myself fall for Isabella because it's wrong, Jimin. It's not allowed. I can't fall for someone I'm supposed to despise and fight against."
