ALPHA | BTS FANFICTION

AU - Love Crime - Chapter 12

Present

The recurring dreams, filled with joyful laughter, lively chuckles, and the soothing melody of young kids' giggles, gradually faded as the little children surrounded me with their infectious cuteness, causing a comforting warmth to expand within my depleted soul. I couldn't remember their names or faces, yet once I woke up, I could still feel the warmness in my chest. Blinking, I rested sideways with my blank eyes on the bright morning sky with nothing on my mind but the yearning emotions. Could those souls... have been my children in my past life? They're so lovely.

"You're awake?" Taehyung hoarsely muttered, gently pressing his face against the back of my head, causing the fume of his breath to pulse through my hair. I blinked and quickly rolled over to stare at his sleepy face as the man calmly gazed at me on his side.

"Didn't you say you'd reside in your room last night? Because you had to discuss with your parents?" I whispered in surprise. He claimed he had to visit his parents' bed chamber for an important discussion and told me not to wait for him and head to bed, so why is he here?

"I'm in your bed and under your blankets, aren't I? Isn't it obvious? Couldn't sleep without your precious boobies," He weakly smiled as he tenderly scratched the top of my head to soothe my mind. I scoffed at his teasing smile and turned to rest on my back with my eyes fixed on the ceiling. The man scooted over the bed to hook his arm over my stomach and gently pressed his face against my cheek, softly panting against me until I turned to stare at his groggy face. He's in a good mood today. Smiling, he gently pecked my lips and lifted his hand to squish my cheeks, making me groan at his playful act.

"Do you have a work schedule today?" I whispered while staring at the sleepy man. Taehyung shook his head and turned to lie on his back before sitting up with his messy, wild morning hair, lazily stretching his arms above his head in his pajamas. I calmly watched the man until he tossed the blanket off me and leaned over to scoop my frail body from the mattress. I gripped onto his shoulders for support as he effortlessly lifted me from the bed and crawled off the mattress to settle me on the cold floor.

"No schedule. Let's spend the day together," He muttered, turning to grab my thin silk robe from the coat hanger and gently pulled the light material over my thin strap gown as I stood sleepily with a faint smile. The man exhaled, took my hand, and led me out of the bed chamber, so hand in hand, we strolled down the brightly lit corridor in our nightwear, groggily entering the living room and steering right into the dining room where Do-hwan was guarding the entrance.

"Oh?" I paused once we entered the spacious room to find the lively elders chatting at the extensive table. Taehyung abruptly paused once he noticed the Chuls seated across from his parents. Dumbfounded by their presence, we stared at the guests in our shabby conditions. Oh. Sungho warmly smiled at us while sitting beside his beautiful sister. How are we not aware of their visit? Hwa-young glanced at my wild, messy hair and loose robe with a startled look as she sat composedly in her elegant floral dress.

"Anneonghaseyo~! Aigo- We weren't aware of your visit~!- I'll quickly get changed- please excuse my appearance-!" I gasped, quickly lowering my head in embarrassment to greet the elders, and quickly tried to leave the room when I felt Taehyung tightening his grip on my wrist, sternly holding me in place. Pause. I blinked and glanced up at his stern face with a questioning look. We shouldn't accommodate our guests in our pajamas!

"What is there to apologize for? We're in the comfort of our own home, after all. There's no need to dress up, especially on a weekend morning meant for rest. Besides, your visit was unannounced, so please excuse our casual attire. We simply prefer to stay comfortable," Taehyung calmly spoke, gently tugging me forward and drew the chair backward for me. I gulped, uneasily settling across from Sungho, who was smiling brightly at me as Taehyung took his seat beside me, right across from Hwa-young, who was repeatedly combing her slender fingers through her hair to enhance her impression.
