ALPHA | BTS FANFICTION

AU - Love Crime - Part 6

Sora's POV

Humming softly, I released my wavy black hair from the clip, letting the loose strands cascade down to my waist. I slipped on my nightgown, weakly smiling as I twisted and turned before the mirror to admire my reflection. I had left the ceremony ahead of the household, leaving everyone in utter chaos after making the daring decision to ditch the Kim's heir under his spotlight. This was only the beginning.

Settling happily before the vanity table, I brushed my hair with a faint smile until I heard heavy footsteps stomping up to my door. THUD! The door swung open, just as I had anticipated, and the person to storm inside my room was... of course... Kim Taehyung.

I glanced at the raging glower in his eyes as he slammed the door shut and stormed toward me. Thump! Thump! His footsteps... heavy and thundering, each one echoing his spewing fury. I calmly placed the brush aside and stood up, turning to face his searing breath with a smug smile. The man halted before me with his jaw clenched. His breath... warm and humid. Just like an angry bull... he glared at me with pure resentment in his gaze. It's unlike his dull nature to express explicit emotions like this. Funny... how he struggles to show affection yet finds it so effortless to eject his wrath at me without holding back.

"You're sweating profusely. Should I summon the head doctor?" I asked with an innocent smile while staring up at the extremely infuriated man before me.

"You planned it along, didn't you? To humiliate me in front of everyone?" He sneered, lowering his face to challenge me with his fierce glare. I blinked at his angered expression and lifted my hand to caress his warm cheeks.

"No? I  simply didn't feel like wanting you anymore," I giggled, covering my lips as a flicker of confusion flashed across his face.

"What?" He raised his eyebrow, expression still stern and angry.

"Well, I've been patient with you for years— waiting, hoping— because you didn't think I was worthy or attractive enough for your liking. Now that you've achieved your dreams, I've decided it's time to focus on myself. So until I'm ready, why don't you return the favor and wait a little longer? A few more years of patience won't hurt, right? Especially since you have so much work ahead of you anyway," I smiled sweetly. Kim Taehyung frowned, his scowl easing slightly at my decision to postpone the marriage.

"You do realize... all those years, I kept you at arm's length out of respect for your dignity, right? Who are you to assume my feelings for you? I've told you repeatedly that I was occupied with sustaining the household," He grunted, his jaw tightening in frustration.

"Oh? Are you trying to play the good man now? Claiming you actually... fancy me? Seriously?" I scoffed, letting out a weak laugh at his absurd claim. I'd be a fool to believe his deceptive words.

"You think another man would sacrifice his youth and life to build an empire for a woman he doesn't love? Hmm? Tell me, Sora. Did you think I worked tirelessly all these years just to savor the credit for myself? Everything I'm doing is to make your household stronger— not mine, but yours and yours alone," Taehyung growled, his gaze darkening as he studied my face. I paused, observing the dissatisfaction written plainly across his features.

"Don't try to guilt-trip me for your suffering. You chose this path, knowing full well you'd have to endure hell to gain my power. It was never me you wanted or needed. It was my assets and wealth. Did you think I was a fool?" I whispered, tilting my head to the side with a smug smile. Taehyung stared at me dimly.

"Are you playing hard to get now... because I refused to sleep with you?" He scoffed while searching my face in disappointment.

"You should have seized the opportunity when I offered you access to my soul. The free trial is over. If you want my trust, affection, and power, you'll have to work harder. Earn it—or lose everything," I smirked at his offended expression. His jaw clenched tighter at my words.
