Chapter 27

I swallowed hard, my throat dry as panic clawed at my chest. "Taehyung, I-"

"Yes, y/n? What is it?", he asked leaning even more closer, his lips were now almost brushing against mine.

If I shift even an inch from my spot then there are high possibilities of my lips descending on his. My heart beat rapidly.

"I-It's...not how you think it is...", I somehow managed to utter and a smirk formed on his lips.

"So you were not trying to escape me?", he inquired, not showing any signs of backing off.

"I..uh..", I stammered.

He knows that I was intending on fleeing so if I fib and say that I was not attempting to escape him then I don't know what he might say or do but the only thing he doesn't know is the reason behind it. How am I expected to answer him? Arghh I couldn't think of anything anymore. It felt like my brain had stopped working.

His eyes were boring inside me making it even harder for me to come up with a reason. Like even if I come up with a justification he can effortlessly tell if I was speaking the truth or not.

"I...uhm..", I was trying to come up with a reply, and could feel his gaze still fixated on me.

Why is he staring at me like that..?

The anticipation hung in the air, as I searched for the right words, my mind racing to keep up.

As Taehyung waited for my response, his warm breath brushed gently against my cheek, sending a shiver down my spine. The intensity of the moment was overwhelming, making it difficult for me to think clearly. My eyes locked with his, searching for an answer that will satisfy both his heart and his mind.

But just as the silence stretched on, the sound of cars honking from behind abruptly broke the spell. Taehyung's attention quickly shifted towards the road ahead. He realized that the traffic signal had changed, prompting him to distance himself from me, returning to his own seat.

Thank god...

Relief flooded through my body like a wave as I released a sigh I didn't realize I was holding. The tension finally subsided, and I could catch my breath. The brief interruption had given me a moment to collect my thoughts.

Taehyung was now again focusing on the road ahead and I decided to not utter a single ahead and just stay silent in my place.

#skiptime: a few hours later: at the party:

[Jungkook's pov]:

Every year, the Kim family throws this epic bash to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Kim's marriage anniversary. And let me tell you, it's not your average party. It's a grand affair that's attended by all the top-notch business folks in town.

The Kim's really go all out to make sure this event leaves a lasting impression. Everywhere you see, you could see influential businessmen and women mingling, exchanging handshakes and business cards. It's not just a celebration; it's also an opportunity to network and strike some serious deals.

And I attend it every year.

Not because I am interested in any of these celebrations, but because it's not just about celebrating love, it's about expanding business horizons too. And the best part? No, businessmen or women in their right mind would dare miss this party.

It's a golden opportunity to make more connections, strike deals, and potentially make some serious money. The Kim family knows how to host a lavish party that paves the way for success. I have always admired Uncle Kim for this reason. That man knows how the business works.
