Y/n sat in her room, her mind still reeling from what she had witnessed. She had always been a talkative and outgoing person, but the encounter she witnessed had left her awfully silent. The intensity of the situation had shaken Y/n to her core, and she found herself withdrawing from the world, shutting herself off from her usual vibrant self.

Of course, Taehyung noticed this change in Y/n's behavior immediately. He couldn't bear to see her like this, and he knew he had to do something to bring back her smile.

Unable to bear her silence any longer, Taehyung decided that he couldn't let her suffer like this. He wanted to see her smile again, to wipe away the distress that clouded her beautiful face. With determination in his heart, he devised a plan to surprise her.

---------------------------

Next morning, as Y/n sat lost in her thoughts, there was an unexpected knock on the door. She hesitated for a moment before opening it, revealing Taehyung standing there with a hopeful smile on his face.

Taehyung- Y/n, would you mind joining me for a walk?

He asked, his voice gentle and reassuring. Although taken aback by Taehyung's unexpected request, Y/n silently agreed.

As they strolled along the park, the world around them seemed to come alive. Y/n marveled at the beauty of the blooming cherry blossoms, their delicate petals dancing in the wind.

Y/n- Taehyung, what are we doing here?

She asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Taehyung smiled affectionately, intertwining his fingers with hers. 

Taehyung- I wanted to show you something.

He replied. They continued walking until they reached a secluded spot, where a blanket was spread out under a grand cherry tree. The scene was straight out of a fairytale, with the sun casting a warm golden glow over the surroundings.

As Y/n took a seat, she noticed Jin and Irene approaching, carrying a basket filled with delicious treats. Their beaming smiles broke through Y/n's emotional walls, and she found herself smiling tentatively in return.

Jin set the basket down, and Irene joined Taehyung and Y/n on the blanket. They shared laughter and stories, teasing one another with gentle banter. It felt like a bubble of joy enveloped them, shielding Y/n from the unrest that had consumed her earlier.

Jin- You know, Y/n, since you both are always at each other's throat, I never would have imagined this day.

Jin admitted with a chuckle.

Jin- But seeing you two together like this, it warms my heart.

Irene- It's true.

She added. A little later understanding the need for privacy, Jin and Irene discreetly slipped away, leaving Taehyung and Y/n alone to enjoy the serenity of the garden.

In that quiet moment, Y/n looked at Taehyung, her eyes now filled with renewed hope and affection. 

Taehyung- Y/n, you know you can talk to me, right? We may not have started on good terms, but I care about you.

She let out a shaky breath and nodded.

Y/n- I know, Taehyung. It's just... I never thought I would find myself in this situation.

Taehyung, gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

Taehyung- I never wanted this for you either, Y/n. But sometimes, life takes us on unexpected paths, and all we can do is face them together.

She turned to look at him, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and gratitude.

Y/n- I appreciate you being here for me.

Taehyung's lips curved into a small smile.

Taehyung- You're not alone, Y/n. I may not understand what you're going through, but I can lend you my ear and shoulder.

Reluctantly, Y/n began to recount the traumatic event that had shaken her to her core. As she spoke, Taehyung listened intently, making sure to give her his full attention. He didn't interrupt, didn't judge, but simply let her pour out her feelings and fears.

When she finished, Taehyung's expression was a mixture of compassion and sorrow. Without saying a word, he embraced her in a warm hug, hoping to offer some comfort in the midst of her pain. Y/n hesitated for a moment, then buried her face in his chest, allowing herself to release the tears she had been holding back.

Taehyung- I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that, Y/n,

He whispered softly, his voice barely audible.

Taehyung- But please know that I'm here for you. You don't have to face this alone.

Y/n clung onto him, finding solace in his words and the warmth of his embrace. 

Y/n- Thank you.

She whispered, her voice carrying a depth he had never heard before.

Taehyung- I couldn't see you like this, Y/n.

He said softly. 

And as the cherry blossoms gracefully fell around them, Y/n knew that she no longer had to face the world in silence. 

--------------------------

As Y/n and Taehyung returned home they were greeted by Grandpa sitting in the living room. 

Grandpa- Oh you guys are home. I was hoping for a fun ludo match today. What do you think?

Excited at the prospect of a fun-filled evening, Taehyung and Y/n agreed to the challenge. The game board was placed on the coffee table, and the colorful game pieces were scattered around. Taehyung's grandfather declared himself the Ludo champion and vowed to win.

G/kim- Well, I do try my best. Shall we begin the game, then? Are you ready to be defeated?

Taehyung- Y/n might be a tough competitor, Grandpa. I suggest you be prepared for a challenge.

G/kim- Hahaha! We shall see about that, young man. Let the game begin!

They all sat around the table, each with their colored pawns and dice in hand. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as they started rolling the dice and moving their pawns across the board.

The game started amidst laughter and friendly banter. Grandpa rolled the dice first and landed on a safe spot. With a smug grin, he taunted Taehyung.

G/kim- Looks like the champion is off to a great start!

Determined not to lose, Taehyung and Y/n strategized, meticulously planning their moves. They formed an unspoken alliance against Grandpa, determined to bring him down. The game quickly became intense as they tried to outsmart each other.

Y/n- Oh no, my pawn got knocked out already!

Grandfather- Looks like luck is not on your side this time, Y/n. Better luck next roll!

Taehyung- Grandpa, you might want to watch out for Y/n. They can be sneaky when it comes to strategy.

Grandfather- Sneaky, hmm? Well, I'll keep an eye out then. But I won't go easy on either of you!

As the game progressed, the playful banter between Taehyung, Y/n, and his grandfather filled the room. They laughed, teased, and cheered each other on.

Y/n- Yes! Finally, I got a six! This could be a game-changer.

Grandfather- Don't get too confident just yet, Y/n. I still have a trick or two up my sleeve.

Taehyung- Y/n, watch out. Grandpa is about to make his move.

The tension in the room grew as the game reached its climax. They strategized, counted their moves, and hoped for the best outcome.

Y/n- No way! Grandpa knocked all of our pawns out with that roll!

Grandfather- Sorry, my dear. Looks like luck was on my side this time.

He said while laughing.

Taehyung- Don't worry, Y/n. We can always play another round. And who knows, maybe luck will favor us then.

They played a few more rounds, with Taehyung's grandfather emerging as the ultimate Ludo champion. However, the joy of spending time together and creating beautiful memories overshadowed any feelings of defeat.
