Siren ♡ Kim Taehyung/Reader FF ♡ Completed ♡

36.

Taehyung was expecting Y/N to be  nervous when the time arrived to finally get her tattoo but what he wasn't expecting was for her to bolt the moment they stepped through the door to Kim Ink.

"Is she okay?" Namjoon asked, eyes filled with concern as Taehyung left Jungkook to deal with his anxious Tink.

"She kept saying it was just nerves, wouldn't let me in but from the sounds of it she just opened the door for Jungkook." Taehyung tries not to think about how much that hurts but fuck it does.

It's always been the two of them against their demons since first meeting, always talking things through together and now she's opting to speak with Jungkook instead.

"Tae I'm sure Y/N has her reasons for wanting to speak with Jungkook, maybe she's embarrassed and doesn't want to disappoint you so talking with Jungkook seems like the lesser of two evils so to speak."

"Yeah I know, just makes me feel crappy you know? Like maybe I should've noticed she was feeling uneasy, maybe I shouldn't be pushing her to do this today."

"Taehyung you're not pushing her to do anything, she came here with you willingly today and even told you about wanting to have the tattoo somewhere different last night." Jimin leaned back against the partition that separated Taehyung's workspace from the waiting area, leather jacket draped over his crossed arms.

"I know." Taehyung sighed as he pushed his hair back with a bandana, he always worked better when his unruly cerulean curls weren't constantly falling across his eyes.

"Everything was fine last night, we took a bath then spent a couple of hours talking until we passed out. I got up before her this morning, made us breakfast and she seemed fine....excited even but then the moment we got here she just freaked out." Taehyung was still a little confused over it, had he said or done something to make her second guess herself?

"Taehyung stop worrying okay? I'm sure everything will be fine, just have a little faith."

Taehyung knew Jimin was right but that still didn't stop him from worrying, Y/N had come so far in her recovery and he would be so disappointed for her if she couldn't take this next step.

"I'll go and grab us some coffee, pick up some of those pastries you like." Namjoon breaks the tense silence, squeezing Taehyung's shoulder gently as he passes.

"Jimin why don't you come with me, could use a hand carrying everything back."

Jimin hesitates, eyes on Taehyung as he sets up his workspace.

"Hey guys, do you mind if me and Tae have a few minutes alone?"

Taehyung turns around as Y/N suddenly makes her appearance, Jungkook a few steps behind.

"Okay you two, come and give me a hand with the coffee as our two lovebirds here have a little chat." Namjoon guides a reluctant Jimin and hungover Jungkook to the door.

Taehyung waits for the three to leave and the door to swing shut before he turns his attention back to Y/N.

"I'm sorry." Is the first thing she says, fingers toying nervously with the hem of her shirt.

Taehyung immediately crosses the small distance between them, arms encircling her waist as he gently tugs her closer.

"You better be." He teases. "You opened the door for Jungkook but not me, what the hell is that all about." He adds, tone playful as he places a kiss to her temple.

"It's not like that and you know it." She chuckles, fingers gently stroking the nape of his neck. "I felt stupid, didn't want to upset you with it especially since you've been so understanding and supportive."
