The sun drowned inside the ocean while you and Taehyung were footing outside the residence door as the stars spread across the sky like sprinkled white quartz. Taehyung pressed the bell as you heard the intercom inside the residence ringing, waiting for Mrs. Daisy to open the door.

You took a glance at Taehyung who had his hands pocketed inside his pants as you had your palms wrapped around your arms, the cold breeze was gusting and hitting your exposed skin making a shiver run down your spine when Taehyung knitted his eyebrows as the door was still unopened.

“Isn’t Mrs. Daisy home?” Taehyung took a glance at your visage and then at your arms wrapped around to simmer down your frigid temperature as he blinked once before entering the passcode of the residence as the door unlocked.

“Get in! You will get a cold.” Taehyung muttered as you gazed at him before giving him an archaic smile and crossing the threshold of the residence as he followed you inside while the chauffeur took the suitcases.

You could feel his care, how he held you in his warm embrace when Thomas had an accident, he didn’t even allow you to look at the gore or his body, and when you went to have dinner in the restaurant.

All the stances just made you fall in love with him even deeper, “I know now. I know how I feel for you, that I am in love with you. But how would I tell you, that is making me apprehensive inside. Will you accept me as your wife or will I lose a best friend of mine?”

“Y/n!” You came out of your reverie when you heard his hoarse tone calling out your name as you looked at him, “I guess, Mrs. Daisy has gone to the grocery. You can get yourself changed.” He said as you remembered that your suitcase is still in his room and before you could say something he interrupted, “You can shower in our… in my bedroom’s bathroom.”

You pressed your lips together before saying, “You can take a shower first-” He cut you off by saying, “No. I have an urgent call to make… so take your time.” You nodded as he traced his orbs southward to your lips making him gulp down a lump in his throat as his globes scrutinizing your lower lip clamped within your teeth making your rosy lips inadequate of crimson tincture as the element of your petals turned washed out, turning waxen.

Breaking through his stupor, “What are you looking at Taehyung?” He twitched his orbs around the lounge with his heartbeat skyrocketing, unsettled making you look at him with befuddlement before she shooed you away saying, “Take a shower.”

You nodded, turning around to make your way upstairs while taking glances at him with your side eyes, “What’s wrong with him?” You whispered when you raised your foot to keep it on the first step of the staircase.

Unwittingly, footing on the fringe of the stair, your feet slipped as you stumbled while a squeal left your mouth making Taehyung turn to look in your direction with his enlarged orbs looking at your frame as you briskly hold onto the handrail of the balustrade. “Y/n!” Taehyung spoke in his strident and petrified voice.

Taehyung sprinted towards your figure with his heart thumping inside his chest as you took a few deep breaths while your heartbeat skyrocketed in that jiffy as you closed your eyes to simmer down your raced-up heartbeat.

You heard his striding footsteps with his fretful questions, “Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?” Taehyung asked as he held onto your arm gingerly before turning around your frame while you held onto his lower arm hindered inside the material of his suit jacket.

You gazed at him while he crouched down to carefully scrutinize your feet if you had sprained your leg, “Did you hurt your ankle? Is this hurting somewhere-” You interrupted him, “Taehyung, I am fine. I just stumbled on the step.” You assured him.

He gazed up into your orbs from your feet before saying, “I have told you to be careful, didn’t I?” Before you could answer him, he threw another question, “What were you thinking? Hmm?” He asked while gazing into your orbs staring through your soul while the words were struck inside your throat as you traced his almond orbs in the amber light, “You. I was thinking about you.”

You wiggled your orbs within his globes as he tried to scrutinize your thoughts through your enchanting cocoa eyes, trying to read your answer but they just bewitched him.

Your brown iris and your large pupil were gazing inside him in the dimly lit lounge standing under the chandelier illuminating the amber rays.

All he could read was softness and warmth. “Warmth, Tenderness, Fondness and attached. I could feel them. She was gazing at me with all of these filled within her orbs making me bewitched by them. How does she do that? Why are you doing this to me? You dazzle me."

"Everything seems to blur when I am with you. I feel like all I want is to be with you. You are making me come out of my dark place, Y/n. You tantalize me the way no one else… No. Maybe Ari did. For sure she did. Am I giving her place to you or you are just capturing it?"

"No! You are not taking her place but making yours, a different place in my heart filling it with your love and care. And I am frantic that… that you will go away from me which I don't want to ever happen till the end of my life." Taehyung unwittingly, inclined near your visage with both of your orbs locked while your hold onto his arms, stiffened.

Taehyung came out of his stupor as he blinked twice while your heart cartwheeled inside your ribcage as you looked at him with your doe and puzzlement orbs as you could feel his warm breath drizzling over the tip of your upper lip and chin.

Trying to escape this abash situation, Taehyung tried to form a sentence as he started, "Be careful." Taehyung declared in a whisper as he inclined his visage near your ear making you close your eyes as your heartbeat skyrocketed while some skipped.

Steer clearing of the current blushing scenario, Taehyung leisurely retreated himself, taking a glance at your visage with your eyes closed, reluctantly opening them, finding him standing before you, well-nigh.

You niticiated looking at him as he asked, "So, would you mind leaving me?" Taehyung wobbled his arm which you were holding as you instantly let go of his hands, "Sorry." You whispered as he took a step back from you.

Without wasting a second, you sprinted upstairs as he watched you entering his bedroom before closing the door behind. Placing his hand over his chest, he let out a deep breath, "Get your shits together, Taehyung."

Taehyung fitched his phone out of his pocket and dialed Yoongi's number before sauntering inside the kitchen as Yoongi picked up the call, "Secretary Min….."

While talking with him, Taehyung put his call on the speaker and ambled to the refrigerator before taking out the packet tetra milk, placing it on the kitchen island and removing his suit jacket and slipping inside a black apron, folding up his cuff upto his lower arms.

—

"Did you discussed about this with Mr. Yang?" He asked while whisking the hot chocolate, milk and sugar in the caramel colored cup.

"Yes, President Kim." Taehyung heard a beep on the call as he scrutinized his eyebrows and read another person calling him, "Officer Jung." "Secretary Min. I will call you later." Taehyung hung up on the call and swiped the green button on the bright skin with the back of his index finger knuckle.

"Good evening, Mr. Kim." Officer Jung said as Taehyung answered, "Good evening, Officer Jung. Is everything alright?" Taehyung asked attentively to hear Officer Jung's answer as the corner of his heart was worried, he didn't know why but still it wasn't at ease.

"Hmm… Yes, Mr. Kim. I just encountered some old files in Thomas' case and I have found something." Taehyung halted his movements as he placed the whisker in the sink, "This can't be about father." His worst nightmare was haunting him since Thomas's death and hysterical emotion gushed through his guts.

"What-" Taehyung cleared his throat as his voice came out to be stammering prior to asking up again, "What is it about, Officer Jung?" Taehyung asked with assertion.

Officer Jung sucked in his teeth as he sighed, "I think we should meet and talk about it." Taehyung leaned in while propped his palm on the fringe of the island as he said, "Yes, we can meet tomorrow evening in the Green Cafe."

"Oh okay, Mr. Kim. Then we will meet tomorrow. Bye." "Good night." Taehyung said, "I hope I am wrong this time." Hanging up on the call as he heard footsteps approaching.

Peering out of the kitchen's interior window, he discerned you jumping down the last stair and he gazed down at the two hot chocolate cups, "I haven't cooked in a while. Hope she likes it."

Your eyes trailing down to seek for the certain one as you sauntered towards the kitchen when discerned Taehyung standing behind the kitchen peninsula but you knitted your eyebrows when you saw him donned in an apron, "Was he cooking?"

Your orbs got locked with him  as you entered the kitchen threshold and took a glance at the island and saw two cups while the hot vapors summoned in the air, you could smell the sweet scent of the chocolate in the kitchen, "Oh! Hot chocolate!" You exclaimed with your mini applause as you fluttered and wiggled your fists in zest.

"You made them?!" You asked gazing back in his orbs as he gave you a nod, "Woah! I wanted to drink it so bad."

The smile on your visage didn't go unnoticed by him as his lips formed an archaic smile, curving from the ends, just by staring at you, "Drink it." He said.

"Thank you!" You smiled at him before sitting on the high stool across the island and he slipped the cup to you as you held it making your skin skim over his.

You picked up the cup in your hand and he also held the cup in his hand when you noticed his fold up sleeves upto his sturdy arm.

His protruding nerves manifested his lower arm as he stretched his hand to place the brim of the cup over his lips, you could discern his muscles getting stiff as he held the handle of the cup with his slender fingers. 

Ignorantly, sipping onto the hot liquid a squeal left your mouth as you breath in the cool air, trying to cool down your burning tongue, "Are you okay?" You nodded, "Yeah, it was just way too hot." You said, clutching your tongue between your teeth before blowing into the cup.

"Get your shits together, Y/n." You closed your eyes, taking a small sip of the hot chocolate along with glancing at Taehyung as you said, "It's tasty and pungent."

Taehyung smiled, "Thank you." You smiled, displaying your white teeth, enjoying your time together.
