Don't leave me | taehyung×reader×jungkook

Episode 24

Days passed, and the silence between Taehyung and Hana persisted. Though Hana no longer spoke rudely to him, the distance between them grew, gnawing at Taehyung's peace of mind. One day, he texted her, informing her that they had to attend a business party together and instructed her to be ready. Hana complied, wearing a black wide frock that fell to her knees, enhancing her natural beauty. When Taehyung saw her, he couldn't help but notice how stunning she looked.

"I don't want to say this, but you look good. I mean, beautiful," he said, unable to hide his admiration.

"Thank you," she replied softly.

"Don't get me wrong. It's all because of me. Living with me has taught you how to be presentable," he added, attempting to downplay his compliment.

She smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Kim, you are always right. Shall we go now? We don't want to be late, do we?"

Caught off guard by her playful sarcasm, Taehyung stammered, "Ah-ah, yes. Let's go."

They arrived at the party, and Hana was greeted warmly by Taehyung's business partners and friends, who were familiar with her. As they stood together, someone tapped Taehyung on the shoulder.

"Taehyung-ah, is that you?" Jimin asked, his voice filled with surprise.

"Yes," Taehyung replied.

"I thought I was dreaming. A beautiful dream," Jimin teased.

"Stop annoying me, Park Jimin," Taehyung retorted.

"Anyhow, how are you?" Jimin inquired.

"I'm fine, and you?" Taehyung responded.

"I'm good. Oh, Hana-ya, you're here too. Congratulations on your wedding! I'm sorry I couldn't make it; I was busy," Jimin said, adding a hint of teasing.

"Stop it, Park Jimin. You're bothering me," Taehyung said, slightly annoyed.

"Alright, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone. Take care, Hana," Jimin said before walking away.

Taehyung sipped his cold drink, a habit since he didn't like alcohol. Hana leaned in and whispered, "Taehyung, you should go mingle. I'll find somewhere to sit."

"What do you think, Mrs. Kim? Do you remember what happened last time? I can't afford any mess, so I'm staying here," he replied firmly.

"Fine," she agreed.

"Good," he responded.

"Hey, Taehyung, it's been a long time!" a voice shouted from the crowd.

Taehyung turned to see a man he didn't recognize at first but then realized it was Jung Hoseok. "Yeah, long time, hyung. I didn't know you were in Korea," Taehyung said, surprised.

"I came for some important cases," Hoseok explained.

"Still crazy about your work, I see," Taehyung remarked.

"Yeah. By the way, who's the lady with you?" the man asked, curiosity in his eyes.

"This is my wife, Kim Hana. We recently got married. Didn't Hoseok hyung tell you?" Taehyung asked.

"Yes, he did. I just forgot. Well, aren't you going to introduce your beautiful wife properly?" the man insisted.

"Sorry, hyung. Hana-ya, this is Min Yoongi, the main inspector of Secret Agencies and an encounter specialist," Taehyung said, his tone serious.

Hana's face paled at the introduction. "Woah, Taehyung-ah, are you introducing me or scaring your wife?" Yoongi joked.

"Just kidding, hyung. Hana, he's a good friend. I first met him in America," Taehyung clarified.

"Oh, nice to meet you, Mr. Min. I'm Kim Hana," she said, bowing respectfully.

"I think I'll fall for her," Hoseok said, placing a hand over his heart dramatically.

"Stop it, hyung. It won't work," Taehyung said, rolling his eyes.

"Sorry, Taehyungie, just joking," Hoseok replied with a grin.

"Hey guys, the music is lovely. Everyone's dancing with their partners. Hoseok hyung, you came with your noona, right? Go dance with her," Jimin suggested.

"Yaa! Park Jimin, I'll kill you. I know I don't have a partner, but I'll dance with my beautiful noona," Hoseok said, making his way to the dance floor.

Min Yoongi shook his head, visibly uncomfortable with the idea. "Taehyung and Hana, you should dance too. Everyone wants to see this adorable couple in matching outfits," Hoseok teased.

"Aish, really? Hyung, you are so annoying," Taehyung said, exasperated.

"Well, I'm going. Come on, kids," Hoseok urged.

"You go first, hyung. We'll join you soon," Taehyung replied.

After some time of awkward silence, Taehyung finally asked, "Do you want to dance?" His voice was shy and hesitant.

Hana remained silent for a moment before nodding. They moved to the dance floor, where Taehyung placed his hands on her waist and took her left hand. They began to dance, moving gracefully to the music.

**Kim Hana's POV**

As we danced, I felt myself getting lost in the moment. Taehyung was a surprisingly good dancer, leading me effortlessly around the floor. I was so engrossed that I almost forgot where I was. His touch was gentle yet firm, and for a brief moment, I felt a flicker of happiness. But suddenly, my mind drifted to a dreamland.

I was dancing with him, feeling incredibly happy. He was looking at me with love and care in his eyes.

"I must say, Mr. Jeon Jungkook, you are a really good dancer," I whispered, making him chuckle.

"Hmm, well, you know I'm good at everything," he replied proudly.

"Huh, in everything? Please pinch me. You're just good at this," I teased.

He tightened his grip on my waist, looking into my eyes with a teasing smirk. "I'm good at other things too. Should I show you?" he asked, leaning closer.

"Yaa! Stop it, I won't do tha—" I snapped back to reality, realizing Jungkook wasn't there. It was Taehyung holding me.

"What's wrong, Hana?" Taehyung asked, concern in his voice.

"Nothing. I'm just tired. I can't dance anymore," I said, trying to pull away.

But Taehyung hugged me tightly, refusing to let go. "Shush, Hana. Stay still. Just be like this for a moment," he murmured.

That night, I could hear the rapid beat of his heart. I knew the man holding me loved me, but I couldn't reciprocate those feelings. I couldn't forget Jungkook, and seeing him in Taehyung only confused me more. These thoughts weighed heavily on my mind as we returned home. Taehyung didn't forget to hug me while sleeping, as the doctor had advised.
