I felt him gliding his vast palm over my flank and back while we both stood in the hall's center. The room was serene but just the soft music filled the serene atmosphere as I could feel my heart hammering against my chest like beating a drum with the sticks. The room was dingy, just the spotlights were emphasizing us.

Taehyung's lunar orbs traced down into mine while my hazel ones looked back without breaking my eye contact even for a second. We were asked by the anchor to perform a special dance.

This wasn't what I came here for. I should have said no but this guy in front of me, without thinking a second or listening to me, took me here in the center of the hall and all I could do was nothing.

Why the hell I can't do anything? I don't want this guy to control my already falling life. But looking into his orbs makes me think the opposite. His orbs are enchanting for some reason and I am not able to understand, What are his eyes up to?

Just as the song started while the rhythmic music reached my eardrum, My clutch on his shoulder tighten before beginning to move with the rhythm. I could feel him pulling me closer to himself making my breath hitch as I looked up into his orbs with wide eyes.

My body was acting up on its own as my feet were moving in sync with his, I wasn't feeling nervous or perturbed but at ease. Something about his touch took me in, Was he right when he said I was getting comfortable holding his hand? No, This can't be. He is no one to me.

One of the strands of my braids made its way over my visage, hindering the view, His view.... Before I could tuck the strand of my tresses back, I felt him stretching his hand before he held my hand, halting me midway.

Making me wrap my hands around his neck as the next seconds he elongated his hand near my visage while I could feel the tips of his fingers skimming over the apple of my cheek as he tucked my tresses behind my ear.

I blinked looking back into his orbs while letting out a long breath before gulping down a lump in my throat as I could feel my throat getting dry by passing second. I could feel the herd of elephants jumping in my stomach.

I parted my lips as I muttered, "Don't touch me." I whispered as he closed his eyes for a second before leaning against my ear while we were moving leisurely with the beats.

"Oh! really? Care to tell me how we dance without touching your partner." He whispered in his hoarse voice, his warm breath trailing down my jaw and neck. I could feel my breath getting uneven as I retorted, "We are partners only on papers. Remember it." I raised one of my eyebrows while whispering, "Of course. I do remember Mrs. Kim."

Another adrenaline gushed down when he called me, Mrs. Kim. I took a deep breath as I could feel him twirling me around with my waist just like any professional would do before pulling me closer to himself as my back touched his chest. I discerned the other couples joining us on the dance floor.

I closed my eye as he skimmed the tip of his cold fingers down my exposed neck and shoulder, shivers ran down my spine in that jiffy, His touch sure do things to me. Y/n, don't let him dominate you. I sighed before placing the tip of my heel on his right shoe and pressing it, right there.

I was expecting a squeal or hiss from him but in return, I heard, "F*ck!" He cursed in his oddly deep voice as I gazed at him with my side eyes while my eyebrows were crumpled, "I said, Don't touch me!"

I heard him let out a small scoff before twirling me around, facing each other, "You could have thrust the heel with more power, Mrs. Kitty." I crumpled my eyebrows at him before throwing a dagger at him.

"F*ck you, Kim Taehyung." I whispered as he retorted back, "Yes, please do. It will be my pleasure." He finished while I gritted my teeth together and closed my eyes shut, "Stop it! You pervert!" I whisper-yelled while he simpered.

"Only for you." He whispered, F*ck this man. He is not stopping. Bustard! I let out a deep sigh before looking back into his orbs but he was already looking at me with his lunar orbs gleaming in the Amber rays of spotlights and gazing down at me with something, What is it? Lust, Pity, affection, or fascination. Love....

I came out of my reverie when the music ended and I heard the applauding of the guests as the lights turned on an instant.

I closed my eyes for a second before opening my eyes and looking back into his almond ones. Squinting at him, I turned around and let out a huff, This guy will make me go insane.

Looking back around as Taehyung's mother came into your eyeshot. Scrutinizing your orbs you discerned her with Seokjin. She wasn't looking sober, she was stumbling on the floor while Seokjin was trying to handle her inebriated state. "Is she drunk?"

Taehyung traced your orbs where you were looking as he saw his brother taking care of his mother, "Did she drink again?" He let out a sigh but before he could make his way toward them, you promptly made your way to Seokjin.

Making your way toward Seokjin and Mrs. Kim, "What happened to her?" You asked, sliding your hand around her waist while Seokjin held his mother's shoulder, "Ah... Y/n, Mom got drunk. I am taking her home. Tell Taehyung that we went home but don't tell him that she got drunk. Please." You looked into Seokjin's eyes as he was looking at you with hopeful eyes.

You nodded, "Okay." "I will help you." You said as he shook his head, "No, It's okay. I was just waiting for the car to arrive." Just as he completed his sentence, the valet drove the car to the back entrance and you both looked at it.

Taehyung's mother was almost unconscious as Seokjin lifted her in the bridal style, you slid your hand out off her waist while Seokjin walked towards the car, and you followed him outside. Taehyung's orbs traveled along with your physique until you got out of his sight.

Gesturing the anchor to end the party, Taehyung made his way toward the back side gate where he discerned Seokjin placing his mother's physique on the passenger's seat as he shut the door, "Take care of her. I will come to meet her." You said to Seokjin as he smiled mildly when you both heard, "No need." Taehyung declared as Seokjin's eyes fell on his brother who was standing just behind you, just a foot away.

You turned around to look at him while he was already staring at you before his eyes met Seokjin's, "Taehyung, she hasn't drunk much-" Taehyung interrupted, "Yeah, That's why she can't even stand properly." Taehyung took a glance at his mother's frame through the window who was unconscious.

Seokjin sighed while Taehyung made his way beside you, "When will you stop covering up her mistakes? Hmm? You know right, that's why I don't call her at any of the parties. This is what she does. Always..." Taehyung declared.

Seokjin closed his eyes in frustration, "I can't do anything if you take her as your mother or not but I do. She is my mother. I can and will protect her. You can't stop me. Okay?" Seokjin raised his voice while you were looking at both of them in astonishment.

Gulping down a lump in your throat when Taehyung raised his voice, "I will stop you. I won't consider her as my mother. Because of her, dad is not with us." Taehyung bellowed the last part.

You sighed before holding onto Taehyung's lower arm, "Taehyung, shut up! She is unconscious and she should get home now-" You declared sternly as Taehyung jerked your hand off his before throwing a glare at you with his ruddy orbs, "Shut up! Don't interfere when me and my brother are talking, Okay?"

You scoffed, raising your hand in the air in frustration before turning to Seokjin, "Both of you please fight later but for now, Mom needs rest. You should take her home." You declared as Taehyung and Seokjin were throwing daggers at each other.

Taking a glance at you, Seokjin made his way toward the driver's seat before turning on the engine and steering off towards his mansion.

The car disappeared when you felt Taehyung's grip on your wrist as he turned you around in an instant, "What was that for? Hmm? Me and my brother were talking-" Taehyung shouted, stiffening his grip on your wrist when you interrupted his sentence in between as you pulled out your hand from his grip and pushed with all your potency but he didn't stumble a bit.

"Talking? You both weren't talking? You both were creating a scene while shouting in the middle of the f*cking road, Goddamit!" Taehyung curled his hands in a fist while his orbs were radiating anger and rage, probably you were the first one to interrupt him for the first time in his life.

Trying to not uproar, Taehyung gritted his teeth while you were still glaring at him with all your courage. His nostrils flared while the tip of his earlobes turned ruddy but nothing stopped you from glaring back at him, "Just F*cking don't do this again, or be ready to bear the consequences." He whispered while gritting his teeth and eyebrows furrowed as his eyes went dark and vacant.

"What will you do? Hmm? F*cking do hell with your threats. You can't do anything." You said with your teeth clenched, pulling out the last thread of his anger as he stretched his hand within a jiff and was about to choke your neck within his palm when he halted midway as you looked at him, horror-struck but didn't move an inch away from him.

"You can't do anything, Mr. Kim Taehyung!" Your response added fuel to his anger as he clenched his jaw before poking his inner cheek with the tip of his tongue, "That's it. I will show you today what I can do."

He nodded erratically, "You wanna know what I can do, right? I will show you." You could feel his eyes getting intensively dark, fuming with anger while he clutched onto your wrist with immense power making you hiss in pain.

The valet stopped the car in front of you both before Taehyung strided toward dragging you with him as you were trying to get out of his grip, "Let go of me." You tried loosening his grip from your other hand but all in vain.

Opening the door of the car, he pushed you onto the passenger seat, "F*cking, sit inside!" He declared.
