ARREST ME, OFFICER KIM || CHAPTER 32

The atmosphere was thick with tension as your father cleared his throat once more, his stern expression deepening.

"This is not acceptable," he began, his voice rising in anger.

"You can't just disregard our traditions and responsibilities like this!" Taehyung's mother joined in, her voice equally harsh.

"You both are being reckless! Have you thought about what this will do to our families?"

Taehyung's grip on you tightened protectively as he felt your body tremble. He could feel the fear and hurt radiating from you, and it fueled his anger.

"STOP IT!" he shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos.

"Can't you see you're scaring her?" 

The atmosphere fell silent, shocked by Taehyung's outburst. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his emotions. Taehyung felt your body tremble at his outburst, and he instantly regretted raising his voice.

He turned his attention back to you, his eyes softening with concern.

"Hey, I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice gentle as he cupped your face in his hands.

"I didn't mean to scare you. Just breathe, okay? Focus on me."

You nodded, trying to steady your breath, finding comfort in his touch and the soothing tone of his voice. He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead, ignoring the watchful eyes of your parents.

Taehyung's father began to speak again, but Taehyung cut him off, his focus unwavering.

"This is about us," he said, his voice firm. 

"It's about what we want, not about family expectations or traditions. I love her, and I'm not going to let anything come between us."

He stroked your cheek with his thumb, his eyes locked on yours.

"You're the most important thing to me," he continued, his voice barely above a whisper, meant only for you.

"We'll figure this out together, I promise."

As he continued to calm you, wrapping you in a protective hug, he ignored the presence of your parents, who were seemingly quiet now. Just then, a flash caught his attention. 

He turned to look at your mother, who immediately lowered her phone, muttering, "Oops, I messed up."

It was crystal clear she had been taking a picture. Taehyung's mother still had her phone in her hand, possibly recording a grin on her face. Both of your fathers, who had been stern moments ago, now stood with smiles, their hands resting on each other's shoulders. Taehyung's confusion was palpable as he tried to make sense of the sudden shift in the atmosphere. 

You, too, broke free from his embrace, your tears momentarily forgotten as you looked around in bewilderment.

"What's going on?" Taehyung asked, his brows furrowing.
