"Are you ready for tonight?" Taehyung asked, walking into the living room, his hands in his pocket. He was referring to the business party they were invited to.

"Do I have a choice?" She asked looking up from what she was doing.

He smirked "Not really. Its a business party not a personal vacation. We need to go to make an impression"

Yn rolled her eyes but didn't argue as she continued typing emails on her laptop. She knew the importance of these events, even if she particularly didn't enjoy them. "Fine" She mumbled.

His gaze lingered on her for a moment longer than necessary before he head back to his home office.

Soon it was time for the party. Taehyung was already dressed in a sharp black suit, which made him look effortlessly handsome yet commanding. His tie was perfectly knotted, and his hair styled back, a few strands falling on his forehead to soften his sharp appearance.

Yn walked downstairs just as he was adjusting his cufflinks. She wore a sleep, navy dress that clung to her figure in all the right places. Her hair styled in loose waves that framed her face. For a moment, taehyung forgot what he was doing, his fingers pausing mid movements.

"You...Look stunning" he said after a beat, his voice quieter and a bit hesitant.

She gave him a small smile, one that didn't quite reach her eyes. "Thanks. You look good yourself"

They left for the party where they soon reached.

The venue was lavish, filled with chandeliers, elegant lighting, beautifully dressed staff. Yn looked stunning and Taehyung couldn't help but feel a swell of pride as he escorted her into the room. 

They mingled with the other people, exchanging pleasantries and making small talk with potential partners. Taehyung while being composed and profession also kept an eye on Yn.

Soon after Yn had retreated to a quiet corner where a group of young entrepreneurs had gathered. Taehyung was near the bar sipping a glass of whiskey while talking to a senior executive. 

Suddenly Taehyung saw Yn laughing at something a man said- A tall, neatly dressed man with a charming smile. Something heavy and unfamiliar settled in his chest. The man leaned in slightly, clearly captivated by her which Yn didn't seem to mind. Her posture was relaxed.

Taehyung's grip on his glass tightened.

He told himself it wasn't a big deal. She was just talking and that i was a party and she was being polite. The more he watched, the harder it became to ignore the strange churn in his stomach. It wasn't anger but something more irritating and disturbing.

"Taehyung, are you listening?" The senior asked.

"Apologies. What were you saying?" He asked.

The man continued speaking, but his attention was on Yn. This time that guy reached out, brushing her arm as talked. Yn didn't pull away. Her expression was calm and friendly.

Why the hell is he touching her?

He set his glass down on the bar a little to hard, making noise, drawing curious glances from the guests

Before he could stop himself, his feet took him towards her. 

"...so if you ever need any advice regarding investments, feel free to reach out" the man said, his tone dripping with charm.

Yn smiled politely "That's very kind of you.. I'll keep that it mind"

"Actually" Taehyung cut him of smoothly, his voice low yet commanding "She won't need to. Yn has all the guidance she needs and I'd prefer if you didn't trouble her further"

The man straightened up, startled by Taehyung's appearance "Oh, I didn't realize..."

"You do now" He said, his gaze stern and fixated on the man. Yn raised a brow at his tone but said nothing as Taehyung slipped his arm around her waist, guiding her away from the conversation.

"What was that about?" She questioned.

"Nothing" He shrugged as he sipped his whiskey.

"You were being weird. Is everything alright?" She asked.

"No" He said "I just didn't like the way he was looking at you and was being too close to you"

Yn blinked in surprise "He was just being polite. We were talking about investments."

"Maybe. But I don't want any misunderstanding about who you belong to"

Hey eyes widened, heat rising to her cheeks "Excuse me?"

Taehyung smirked faintly, leaning closer so that his words would reach her ears alone "You're my wife Yn. Whether or not this is a real marriage, Im still a one Women man. So do forgive me if i don't enjoy watching someone else flirt with my wife"

Her heart raced at his words, though she tried to keep herself composed "You're impossible" She muttered. 

"Well were you jealous?" She asled

"Jealous?" He repeated, scoffing "Hardly. Im just protecting mine and your reputation."

She let out a soft laugh "Whatever helps you sleep at night Mr.kim" 

He stepped closer, lowering his voice "Plus I don't like sharing what's mine, Yn. You should know that by now.

The intensity in his tone made her breath hitch. Her heart raced as his dark eyes held hers. 

Taehyung straightened offering his arm "Shall we continue?"

she hesitated but eventually placed her hand on his arms. She couldn't shake the strange flutter in her chest, or the way his possessiveness made her feel something

Soon after the headed back home.

At home Yn had already changed into more comfortable clothes that was a tank top and baggy joggers, when taehyung entered, still in his suit, his tie undone. She was sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phone to distract herself.

He sat down across her, running a hand through his hair "So about earlier" He started

Yn glanced up, tiliting her head "What about it?"

Taehyung hesitated, his usual confidence faltering.

"I shouldn't have interfered like that. It wasn't my place to do so" He admited.

Yn;s lips curved into a amused smile "So you do admit you were jealous?"

"Protective" He corrected "But yes, maybe"  A faintest hint of smile tugged at his lips. 

She laughed softly, shaking her head "Well You did scare the poor guy off"

He leaned back, watching her. He noticed her going back to look at her phone. He noticed how her lips curved when she smiled, how the phone light shone on her face.

Before he knew it, the impulse took over.

He leaned forward, holding her face with one hand, his thumb brushing lightly against her cheek and lower lip. Yn froze as she started at him in shock.

"Tae..."she started , her voice barely a whisper but before she could say further, his lips were on hers, kissing her.



Ahh finally they kissed.
