Taehyung motioned for her to take his hand as he stood a couple of steps above her.
Jaein hesitated.
She had been avoiding this man since last night.
Why does this have to happen now?
Yet, she couldn’t afford to reject his offer. Not when doing so meant risking a humiliating stumble up the ladder in that gown and those heels, right in front of him. But accepting his hand after deliberately avoiding him for hours felt no less embarrassing.
A few seconds slipped by.
Jaein’s fingers remained stubbornly at her side.
Then, without warning, his extended hand settled around her waist.
Her breath caught.
Before she could even process the warmth of his palm seeping through the fabric of her gown, his other hand joined it, and suddenly, she was being lifted.
A startled sound escaped her as her feet left the ground.
Her palms flew to his arms for support, her fingers instinctively curling around the solid muscles beneath his sleeves.
He lifted her as though she weighed nothing, setting her effortlessly onto the cabin floor.
For one suspended moment, Jaein could only stare at him, wide-eyed, as her skin flamed and the ghost of his touch stirred flutters in her belly.
“I can handle myself.” She concealed her flustered state beneath a mutter as she smoothed her gown at the waist.
“And I can’t wait an hour,” Taehyung replied, his voice even.
