"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...

Taehyung exited the bathroom, his hair still damp from his recent shower. He wrapped a towel around his waist and began to brush his hair, pushing the damp locks away from his face. The water droplets glistened on his skin, highlighting the sculpted muscles of his upper body.
After a few moments, he finished brushing his hair, running his fingers through the strands to make sure they were properly in place. Taehyung glanced at himself in the mirror, his reflection showing his damp hair, bare chest, and towel-clad hips.
Taehyung walked over to his closet and pulled out a pair of loose-fitting pants to wear. He deliberated for a moment before deciding to leave his upper body exposed, deciding to sleep shirtless as usual. The habit of sleeping without a shirt was something he found comfortable and familiar.
Taehyung let himself sink into the couch, the soft upholstery cradling his frame. He leaned his head back against the head of the couch, closed his eyes, and let out a deep sigh. The sensation of relaxation washed over him as his breaths came in deep, measured inhales and exhales. It was a welcome moment of respite from the events of the day.
Taehyung's closed eyes vividly conjured up an image of Joseph and Isabella together, and the sight brought forth a pang of frustration. His jaw muscles clenched, and his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. His fingers gripped the edge of the couch tightly, a physical outlet for the inner turmoil he felt.
However, when his mind shifted its focus to the recent memory of Isabella, there was a subtle change. As he recalled the intensity in her fiery eyes, Taehyung's clenched jaw started to relax, and the frown on his face softened. He found an unexpected comfort in her gaze as if a strange warmth washed over him. Unconsciously, his grip on the edge of the couch loosened, as if he was surrendering himself to the thought of her.
Unconsciously, Taehyung's lips began to curve upwards, forming a soft smile. Taehyung replayed the memory in his mind of when he had pushed Joseph, and in the process, causing Isabella to stumble. He chuckled softly as he envisioned the moment when he caught her by the elbow, preventing her from falling. He could already picture the frown between her brows as she glowered at him in annoyance, her tongue ready to lash out at him with a sharp retort.
The soft smile and small chuckle that had spread across Taehyung's face faded abruptly as he suddenly realized something. The realization hit him like a splash of cold water - Isabella hadn't reacted. It meant that she was deliberately choosing to ignore him, which made his eyes snap open in surprise, causing him to sit up straight on the couch.
Taehyung muttered under his breath, frustration and disbelief laced in his voice, "She's ignoring me...how the hell did I miss this realization?"
As the realization sank in, Taehyung's emotions surged, a mix of confusion and irritation coursing through him. He cursed himself for not noticing Isabella's obvious act of ignoring him sooner.
