"You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how."
_

Maybe because she was caught red-handed, she didn't dare to look at Taehyung through the mirror again. Instead, she sat as straight as a rod, staring at herself unwaveringly, applying her cream.

Y/N silently decided that she would apply it really slowly, so even if Taehyung were to wake up, he would have fallen back asleep by the time she finished.

She took great care to apply the facial cream. When she stood up finished, she took a sneak peak at Taehyung in the mirror. He was still lying on the bed, looking at his phone intently.

As soon as Y/N caught sight of Taehyung, she started getting flustered. Silently, she walked to the side of the bedroom to switch off the lights.

She then took great pains to ensure that her footsteps were soft as she crept over to her side of the bed.

Just as she was about to lift the blanket on her side of the bed to lie down, she suddenly thought of something and rushed towards the changing room. Carrying a human sized teddy bear, she walked out.

Y/N returned to the bed with the huge teddy bear. Taehyung lifted his head impassively, sweeping over her with a frosty glare. Y/N's heart thumped uncontrollably.

Not even daring to breathe, she clutched the teddy bear tighter and hurriedly made her way to her side of the bed. She placed the bear in between her and Taehyung, separating the two of them.

Only then was she able to relax. She took a deep breath and slowly found a more comfortable position in the bed, hardly daring to move.

She had bought the bear after got married and had shared the same bed twice.

Every time she got too close to him, her heart would beat rapidly. Afterwards, she would get helplessly nervous and anxious.

The very first time they had shared a bed, her posture was very formal and stiff. But when she fell asleep, having relaxed slightly, her posture started getting haywire.

Unconsciously, she had reached over and touched Taehyung. That night, he had pushed her away aggressively. The second night, he had pushed her off the bed before leaving the room.

After that night, she realized the extent of his hatred. Even if it wasn't intentional, he found her touch repulsive.

In order to prevent such an incident from repeating itself, she specifically bought the 1.8 m teddy bear the next day.

And the next time they shared a bed, she placed the teddy bear between them to prevent any unintentional touches through the night.

The bedroom was dimly lit, causing one's vision to be blurred and hearing to be enhanced.

Y/N lay on one side of the bear with both eyes shut. But she wasn't able to fall asleep. She could clearly smell the fresh scent coming from Taehyung, which squeezed her heart.

She heard him as he occasionally tapped his phone, producing a soft sound.

After some time, he locked his phone, slipping the room into complete silence. It was so quiet that she could hear his every breath.

Y/N had lied down too quickly. Even though she was in an uncomfortable position, she didn't dare to move much. Carefully, she turned, changing into another more comfortable position.

Regardless of how cautious and small her actions were, she had still managed to disturb him. Taehyung turned suddenly, flipping over vigorously. Frightened by the fierceness of his actions, Y/N lay motionless, not daring to move.

He seemed to be in a bad mood, he tossed and turned as though something was frustrating him. Y/N was unable to sleep either as she focused on him who was turning around restlessly.

Suddenly, Taehyung yanked his blanket aside, sitting up fiercely. Y/N trembled in fear, shocked by his furious actions.

Not daring to open her eyes, she remained motionless. Vaguely, she heard footsteps and the flicking of a lighter. Gradually, the faint smell of cigarettes drifted over, filling the room.

As far as she could remember, Taehyung was not a smoker. This was the first time since they married that he had smoked in front of her. She couldn't help wondering where he'd learned to smoke and when did he start.

He sucked in two long mouthfuls before glancing over at Y/N, who was lying silently, and the teddy bear beside her that was larger than her. Straight faced, he turned his head. He walked towards the balcony and pushed open the windows.

After finishing his cigarette, he waited for the smell to dissipate fully before closing the door. He then walked over to the bedside.

This time, after lying down, he no longer tossed and turned.

Without Taehyung's constant movements, Y/N was still nervous, but the huge teddy bear in-between them as well as her fatigue overcame her. Gradually, she began to relax, slowly sinking into a deep slumber.

She didn't know for how long she had slept when suddenly she felt someone roughly grabbing her hand. A mind numbing pain spread through her entire body, and she furrowed her brows, slowly opening her eyes. Just then, she saw him siting by the bear, staring at her coldly.

"Trying to seduce me when I'm sleeping again?" he snarled.

Y/N's fatigue left her. She blinked her eyes with curiosity before lowering her head. She realized that she had unknowingly stretched beyond the teddy bear into his side.

She tried to shrink her hand back instinctively, but Taehyung clenched it tighter, not allowing her to escape. With a tone laced in ridicule, he asked, "Why? You want to sell your body for another role now that the previous one is over?"
