The FORCED MARRIAGE | KTH FF

Chapter 37

South korea:-

Y/N steps out of the bathroom, towel in hand, drying her damp hair. She's caught off guard when her eyes land on Taehyung, who is busy fixing the bed and arranging the sheets. She instinctively moves toward him, her hand reaching for the corner of the sheet.

Y/N: (softly, almost to herself) "Mr. Kim, what are you doing?"

Taehyung notices her approach and quickly grabs the other end of the sheet, pulling it away from her reach.

Taehyung: (grinning mischievously) "Trying to steal my job? Not so fast."

Y/N: (frowning) "I'm not stealing it, just... helping."

She tugs at the sheet, determined. Taehyung pulls back, matching her strength.

Taehyung: "I see you're still trying to act all innocent, but I know exactly how your hand got burned in that hot water."

Y/N's eyes widen in surprise, the mention of her burn catching her off guard. She glares at him, but they both continue pulling the sheet from opposite ends.

Y/N: (stubbornly) "I don't know what you're talking about."

In a playful move, Taehyung lets go of the sheet just as Y/N tugs at it, causing her to lose her balance and stumble forward. She grabs onto his collar to steady herself, but the force makes him fall backward onto the couch. They end up in a tangled mess, Y/N on top of him, her hand still clutching his shirt.

Y/N: (flustered, quickly trying to pull away) "Mr. Kim! What just happened?"

Before Taehyung can respond, Y/N's mom enters the room, eyes narrowing as she sees the scene unfolding.

Y/N's Mom: (with a raised eyebrow) "What exactly is going on here, Y/N? Are you two... uh, 'fighting' over sheets?"

Y/N quickly scrambles to get up, her face turning bright red. Taehyung, still lying back on the couch, smirks as he watches her struggle to find words.

Y/N: (stammering) "I-uh-I was just... pulling the sheets, and... he... he made me fall!"

Taehyung: (teasing) "She's lying, Mrs. Kim. I'm just a victim of her brutal strength."

Y/N's Mom: (chuckling) "Oh, really? Seems like the only 'victim' here is the couch."

Y/N groans, burying her face in her hands, while Taehyung just leans back, enjoying the moment.

It's a typical morning, and Y/N moves downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast, still a little groggy from waking up early. She walks quietly, but as soon as she steps into the kitchen, her eyes widen in utter disbelief at the sight in front of her.

There, in the middle of the kitchen, her mom and dad are in a cozy embrace, laughing and whispering sweet nothing to each other. Y/N's mom is standing on her toes, her arms wrapped around her dad's neck, while her dad is holding her waist and leaning down to kiss her cheek. The whole scene screams romance, and Y/N can't believe her eyes.

Y/N: (eyes wide, voice dripping with surprise) "Uhhh... What in the world?"

She clears her throat loudly, causing her mom and dad to immediately snap apart, both of them looking completely flustered. Y/N watches in amusement as her dad scrambles, adjusting his clothes and looking around nervously like a teenager caught in the act.

Y/N: (teasing) "I didn't know I'd walk into a romantic scene this morning. Is this how you guys start your day? Not even waiting for breakfast, huh?"

Her dad, flustered and trying to avoid eye contact, quickly steps back, muttering under his breath.
