Na-Rae rolled her eyes, a stubborn silence hanging between them. Tae's smirk widened as he sensed an opportunity. He leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a playful whisper. "Wait... you're not jealous, are you?"
Na-Rae shot him a fierce glare. "You're being ridiculous, Taehyung. We have a plan to focus on, and you're here wasting time charming every court lady."
"Ah, back to 'Taehyung' now?" I guess not Tae anymore, a glint of amusement shining in his eyes. "You're dodging the question, Minion."
She huffed, turning her head away, but Tae moved to her other side, blocking her escape. He held her hand firmly and gently pulled her closer, pinning her against the wall.
"Leave me, Taehyung..." she protested weakly, her heart racing as he closed the distance between them.
"Come on, just admit it. You're jealous," he teased, leaning in even closer, his gaze warm yet intense.
Na-Rae's temper finally snapped, her frustration spilling over. "Fine! It bothers me because I love you, okay?" The words tumbled out before she could catch herself, her face flushing crimson as she processed what she'd just revealed and her cheeks burned crimson at her own audacity.
Tae's expression shifted from surprise to a warm, genuine smile that lit up his face. "You... love me?" he echoed, his voice softening as the reality of her confession sank in.
Na-Rae felt a wave of shyness crash over her, and she turned her gaze away, the embarrassment creeping up her neck. "I should leave..."
"Not now, Minion." He tightened his grip on her hand, pinning both of her hands above her head against the wall. With his free hand, he began to trail his fingers along her waist, his touch sending sparks of electricity through her.
"Someone will see us! Leave me!" she protested, panic setting in as she wriggled in his grip.
Tae leaned to her ear, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine. With his other hand, he gently pulled her closer by the waist, whispering softly, "Let me hear that again, Minion..."
Na-Rae felt shy, a shiver running through her as she felt the heat radiating from him. "I..." she stammered, but the words caught in her throat.
"Just one more time," he coaxed, pressing a soft kiss on her nose. "Tell me, Minion..."
"I..." she began, her voice barely above a whisper.
Tae brushed his lips against her cheek, his breath tantalizingly close. "Again..."
"Tae... please..." Her heart raced as his lips ghosted over her skin, inching toward her neck.
"I won't stop until I hear it again," he teased, his lips trailing along her neck, igniting a fire within her.
With her heart pounding, she finally confessed, "I... love you... Tae..."
Tae's heart soared at her words. He looked at her, his breath caught in his throat as he saw her close her eyes, surrendering to the moment. He let go of her hands, taking two steps back, giving her space to breathe.
When she opened her eyes, Tae was looking at her, his expression a mix of surprise and adoration. Na-Rae felt her cheeks flush under his gaze, unsure of what to expect next.
"I love you more, Minion," he declared, stepping toward her again.
With one swift motion, he pulled her close, holding her waist and nape, and captured her lips with his. Na-Rae melted into the kiss, feeling the warmth and safety of his embrace. She placed one hand on his neck and the other in his hair, deepening their connection.
The kiss was electrifying, igniting every nerve in her body. They lost themselves in the moment, the world around them fading into nothingness. After a few minutes, Na-Rae became breathless, tapping on his shoulder to signal him to stop.
But Tae was not stopping; he continued to kiss her, and she felt herself growing breathless as she tried to pull away. In a playful act of desperation, she bit his lip.
"Ahh.....hh! Wh ......y did yo.....u do th......at, Minion?" he groaned, pulling back, panting heavily.
"I a...m out o...f br.....eath..." she managed to reply, also gasping for air, her heart still racing from their passionate exchange.
"It's just the beginning, Minion..." he said, a playful smirk returning to his lips, his eyes glinting with mischief.
