As Y/n and Taehyung finished having breakfast, they made their way back to their shared room.

Taehyung- Ah Y/n, I have something important to tell you.

He said, his voice stern and serious.

Y/n- What's it?

Taehyung- Well, I just got to know that I have to go to the States for a business trip with dad. We'll be gone for about a week.

Her heart dropped. A week without Taehyung seemed unbearable.

Y/n- Oh, really? That's sudden.

She replied, trying to hide the disappointment in her voice.

Y/n- What am I going to do without you for an entire week?

Taehyung smiled softly and held her hands in a gentle grip.

Taehyung- Why don't you go stay at your parent's house for the week? Spend some time with them, catch up on everything you've missed.

He suggested.

Y/n- Alright, Taehyung. I'll go stay with my parents for a week. But only because you won't be here to annoy me.

She teased, half-smiling. Taehyung chuckled, his eyes twinkling. 

Taehyung- Fair enough, Y/n. I'll miss annoying you, believe it or not. I'll call you every day, just to remind you why you can't stand me.

Y/n- But only if you promise to bring me back some goodies from the states!

Taehyung chuckled, reaching out to playfully tap Y/n's nose. 

Taehyung- Deal, little monkey. I'll bring you back all the chocolate and souvenirs you can handle.

They both shared a genuine laugh, feeling a strange warmth in their hearts. And with that, Y/n began planning her trip to her parents' house, while Taehyung prepared for his business trip to the States. 

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

As the week of Taehyung's business trip approached, Y/n found herself getting ready for her visit to her parents' house. Taehyung insisted on driving her there himself, claiming it was his way of being a responsible husband.

As they stepped out of the car, Taehyung gave her a tight hug.

Taehyung- I'll see you in a week, Y/n. Take care of yourself.

He said and patted her head. Y/n nodded.

Y/n- I'll keep that in mind, Taehyung. Until then, make sure not to cause too much trouble in the states.

As they bid each other farewell, a mix of sadness and anticipation fills their hearts. Both of them had no idea what the week had in store for them, but one thing was for certain - their time apart would certainly test their newfound marriage and perhaps even change the dynamic between them.

She rang the doorbell, and her parents opened the door with wide smiles.

Y/m- Y/n, our dear daughter! We've missed you so much!

Y/n chuckled, stepping inside and hugging her parents tightly. 

Y/n- I've missed you too. Get ready, though, you won't believe the hurricane that's coming your way.

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

Few days later

Y/n sat in her room, contemplating her next move. She stared at the calendar, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. She had come up with a brilliant plan to surprise Taehyung on his birthday, and she couldn't wait to see the look on his face.

Y/n's mind immediately turned to her brother, Hoseok. Despite the fact that they were so different, she knew he would be the perfect partner in crime. With his playful and outgoing personality, he could bring the needed energy to the party planning. So, she approached him with her idea.

Y/n- Oppa, I need your help.

She said, peeking into her brother's room. Hoseok looked up from his laptop, curious. 

Hoseok- What's up, sis?

Y/n took a deep breath.

Y/n- I want to plan a surprise birthday party for Taehyung. I know it's a crazy idea, but I want to make his day special.

Hoseok raised an eyebrow.

Hoseok- Are you sure about this, Y/n? It's quite unexpected.

Y/n- I know.

She replied, determination etched on her face. Hoseok smiled, proud of his sister's willingness. 

Hoseok- Alright, count me in. What do you need me to do?

Y/n grinned.

Y/n- First, we need to gather Jimin and Ana, to help us. They're great at keeping secrets and organizing events.

Hoseok nodded, pulling out his phone.

Hoseok- I'll give them a call. Meanwhile, let's brainstorm some ideas for the party.

As Y/n and Hoseok started brainstorming, their excitement grew. They knew that they had to approach this surprise party with caution, staying away from anything that might give away their true intentions. They decided to make the theme a masquerade ball, allowing Taehyung to celebrate without feeling too out of his comfort zone.

Once Jimin and Ana were on board, the planning went into full swing. They gathered at Y/n's house, using her room as their headquarters. Y/n had invited Jin and Irene, to join the planning committee, knowing they had experience in organizing events.

As they sat down together, Jin spoke up,

Jin- I think we should create a detailed schedule of tasks and distribute them among ourselves. This way, we can ensure everything runs smoothly.

Everyone agreed, and they began assigning tasks. Jimin and Ana were put in charge of decorations. Y/n and Irene focused on the food and drinks, making sure it would be a feast to remember.

Y/n leaned in closer and whispered.

Y/n- We'll need to distract Taehyung, so he doesn't suspect anything. Jin, I'll need you to take him out for the day. Maybe go shopping or something.

Jin smirked mischievously. 

Jin- Oh, I can definitely handle that.

Hoseok raised an eyebrow, smirking playfully.

Hoseok- And what's my role in all of this?

Y/n smirked back at him.

Hoseok- You, my dear brother, will be responsible for keeping Taehyung occupied. 

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

Taehyung sat in his hotel room in the United States, feeling a mix of excitement and homesickness. He missed his friends, his family, and most of all, he missed Y/n. He called Y/n, hoping to catch a glimpse of her day. 

Y/n- Hello!!

Her voice sounded tired yet happy on the other end of the line. Taehyung's heart skipped a beat. 

Taehyung- Hey, Y/n! How was your day?

Y/n yawned before replying.

Y/n- It was okay. Just the usual stuff. How about you?

Taehyung smiled, even though she couldn't see it through the phone. It was a known fact that Y/n had always been the one to worry about him, even before they got married. It was one of the reasons he fell for her, despite their constant arguments.

Taehyung- Pretty busy, but good. I miss you, though.

Y/n chuckled softly, her voice filled with warmth.

Y/n- I miss you too, you idiot. Are you taking care of yourself over there?

Taehyung's smile widened. 

Taehyung- Of course, I am. Trying to eat well and rest as much as possible. But it's not the same without you nagging me.

Y/n laughed, and Taehyung could picture her rolling her eyes playfully. 

Y/n- Someone's gotta keep you in check, right? So, how's the weather? Is it as hot as it is here?

Taehyung leaned back on his bed, gazing out of the window. 

Taehyung- Actually, it's quite cold here. I wish I could share my jacket with you.

Y/n's voice softened.

Y/n- I can't wait for you to come back.

They kept talking for hours, jumping from one topic to another. Despite their differences, they found solace in these late-night talks.

As the clock ticked past midnight, Y/n's voice started to become quieter. 

Y/n- Tae, I'm feeling sleepy.

Taehyung smirked.

Taehyung- Hmm, don't try to hang up on me, Y/n. We were in the middle of a conversation!

Y/n giggled softly, her voice becoming more distant. 

Y/n- I promise, I won't hang up. Just talk to me until I fall asleep, okay?

Taehyung's heart swelled with affection. 

Taehyung- Sure, Y/n. I'll talk to you as long as you want me to.

He continued talking, sharing stories and whispering sweet nothings, even though he knew Y/n was on the verge of sleep. But suddenly, there was silence on the other end. Taehyung frowned, worried that he might have said something wrong.

Taehyung- Y/n? Are you okay?

He asked anxiously. There was no response, but he could still hear something, it was the sound of soft snores.

A smile spread across Taehyung's face, realizing that Y/n had fallen asleep while talking to him. He felt a tender warmth in his heart as he listened to the peaceful sounds of her slumber. Her trust and comfort in his presence touched him deeply.

Taehyung stayed on the line for a while longer, not wanting to disturb her peaceful sleep. He wished he could reach through the phone and hold her in his arms, whispering sweet dreams into her ear. Eventually, he whispered softly.

Taehyung- Sleep well, little monkey. 

With a contented sigh, Taehyung ended the call, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the unexpected love that had blossomed between them.
