✔ SINFUL

❤ XLIX ❤

If it's a destiny, I'll take it

If love can be a sin

Maybe we can see each other again

If we love each other sincerely

If we were fated, If we were destined

HEIZE'S POV: 

He must have been very angry that day to have said such things.

For the past three months, I had been hiding from him. Despite my efforts, I still met him in the end.

Dressed in a well-fitted black suit, Taehyung's tall and trim physique was accentuated. As the bright lights in the banquet hall fell on his face, his originally exquisite facial features became three-dimensional. 

His nose, his lips, those intense eyes were dazzling in the night.

The entertainment industry was saturated with good looking people. One could easily pick out an entertainer that would stand out in the crowd. 

However, Taehyung was not just that, he possessed a unique charisma that would capture anyone's attention, easily making him the focal point anywhere.

Silence fell in the room the minute he arrived. 'Webtoon' director was the first to come back to his senses. With a glass of wine in hand, he enthusiastically welcomed Kim Taehyung, "Mr. Kim..."

The atmosphere gradually heated up after the director had spoken. Even though it was clear to everyone that their greetings wouldn't be reciprocated, it didn't stop them from greeting him.

Kim Taehyung strolled towards the seating area as though no one had spoken to him. Even though it was just a short stroll, he was still able to captivate everyone's attention. 　

The director held onto the wine, fawning all over Kim Taehyung with a smile plastered on his face.

I was eating in the seating area. Initially, when I was still a distance away from him with the crowd shielding me, I had the courage to look at him.

My heart was burning at this sight remembering about my past.. if everything could be fine, I could be with my husband, beside him and my princess could be here in my arms.

But he was here instead of my husband, I can't tolerate him... when he came closer, I only dared to sneak occasional peeks.

When Taehyung was finally about to reach me, I didn't even dare to lift my head. Cautiously, I remained in my seat, motionless, no longer moving my chopsticks, no longer as carefree as before.

I was no one to him, no one in front of the people around us. I was just a Kim Taemin's window in there eyes. My link has been broken from Kim family three months ago.

I was no longer attached to my family, my sister-in-law Sera, Mr & Mrs Kim and mostly him. There was no contact between us.

"Chairman Kim, why didn't you inform us that you were coming? I could have gotten someone to escort you..."

When the director's words reached my ears, I distinctly felt Taehyung walking towards me. 

Unconsciously, I tightened the grip on my chopsticks and straightened my back. As I focused on my plate of food, even my chewing started to slow, becoming careful.

When Taehyung finally walked pass me and I was preparing to heave a sigh of relief, I realized that he had sat down in a chair behind me.

When I first fell in love with Kim Taemin, my dreams were constantly filled with him. But now when he was not around, I was scared. 

As time passes by, I became more afraid of seeing him. Whenever he was near me, I would be drowned in fear and anxiety. And these feelings only intensified after the events three months ago...

At this very moment, Kim Taehyung was sitting behind me. All my senses heightened as I grew aware of his voice and his breath. My palms got soaked with sweat from my anxiety.

Taehyung and the director's conversation centered around movies and dramas. Even though Taehyung didn't say much, my heart trembled at his every word.

How deep his voice was... just like my honey made me tremble.

No longer able to withstand the pressure, I put down my chopsticks, threw the excuse of toilet to Michel, and stood up. But the moment I stood up, Taehyung stood up as well.

Was it a coincidence or was it deliberate?

The washroom was behind me and the dining hall exit was behind him. Hence, just as I turned, he turned as well. Our gazes collided.

Just a glance at Taehyung caused me to frantically lower my head, avoiding his eyes.

The two of us now have been married for seven months but the news had never been publicized. To the public, he was my brother-in-law and I was his deceased brother's wife.

I clenched my fists tightly, trying to calm my rapidly pounding heart. Attempting to act like everyone else, as though they were indeed strangers, I greeted him politely, "Good evening, Mr Kim."　　

Taehyung remained straight-faced, not moving, his gaze uncertain, giving the impression that he hadn't heard my greeting at all. After a long while, he suddenly blinked. Turning, he took a detour before taking long strides out the dining hall.

It hurts me more when he ignored me like I was no one, my heart was aching painfully. 

From the very beginning, he hadn't taken a single glance at me, as though the woman in front of him wasn't the wife he had married seven months ago.

Taehyung had a cold and aloof personality that made it difficult for others to get close. His authority in the entertainment industry further instilled fear in others, forcing them to behave carefully around him. 

The moment he left the dining hall, the atmosphere gradually heightened, returning to the boisterous affair of before his arrival. But because he had come, people naturally started gossiping about him.

"Kim Taehyung is indeed a legend of the industry."

"He's not just a legend, he is an unbelievable miracle. For the past five years since his debut, there wasn't any gossip or backlash."

"He has also built his own empire from scratch. It's said that he entered the industry as a poor boy without any background. After two years, his fame skyrocketed, and he clinched the "Best Male Actor" award for three consecutive years. Out of the 5 movies voted online as classics, he appeared in three, in only two of them not as the lead."
