Avoidance & The Confession That Changes Everything✨
The morning sunlight hit your face before you even opened your eyes.
Taehyung was already awake.
He was sitting at the edge of the bed, shoulders slightly hunched, playing with the ring on his finger—the nervous habit he had since years.
You quietly got up, wanting to avoid the awkwardness.
Everything felt too heavy after last night.
You grabbed your phone.
"I'll go wash up," you said quickly, not meeting his eyes.
Taehyung didn't say anything.
But you felt his gaze on your back as you left the room.
🌥️ You Start Avoiding Him
You stayed in the washroom longer than needed.
Ten minutes.
Fifteen.
Twenty.
When you came out, Taehyung wasn't in the room anymore.
Good.
You weren't ready to face him.
You went to the kitchen, pretending to be busy making coffee.
Your hands were slightly cold—not because of fear, but because you didn't know how to handle the new version of your relationship.
Taehyung came in silently.
He stood behind you for a moment before speaking.
"You didn't have to run away," he said softly.
Your chest tightened.
His voice was calm, not angry.
Which made it worse.
You didn't turn around.
"I'm not running."
"Then what are you doing?"
You pressed your lips together.
"Just…giving space."
Taehyung took a few steps closer.
"Space?"
His tone cracked a little.
"I hold your hand one night and you need space the next morning?"
You closed your eyes.
"Tae, last night was emotional. It was sensitive."
He scoffed under his breath.
Not mocking.
Just hurt.
"Sensitive for me. Confusing for you."
You finally turned around.
"Tae, I don't want to act like something happened when I'm still figuring out myself."
Taehyung looked straight into your eyes.
And your stomach flipped.
🌑 THE CONFESSION
He leaned against the counter, fingers gripping it tightly.
"Do you know what's funny?"
His voice was low, raw.
"I wanted to kiss you last night."
Your breath caught.
He continued, voice trembling slightly.
"When you placed your hand on my back… when you came close… when you rested your head on my shoulder…"
He shut his eyes for a second as if the memory still hit too strongly.
"…I almost turned and kissed you."
The kitchen fell silent.
You couldn't speak.
He took a slow breath.
"But I stopped myself."
You swallowed hard.
"Why?"
Taehyung stared right at you.
"Because you were scared."
His words were soft but sharp.
"And I will never take advantage of your confused feelings."
Your throat tightened.
He continued:
"I want you to want me… not because we're married… not because of comfort… not because I'm here beside you."
A pause.
"…but because you feel something real."
You opened your mouth but no words came.
Taehyung stepped back.
"And if you avoiding me is what you need to understand your heart… then I'll let you."
He began walking away.
But then stopped at the doorway and looked back with a hollow smile.
"Just don't disappear from me, okay?"
Something inside you broke at that.
🌧️ YOU CAN'T HOLD IT ANYMORE
When Taehyung left the kitchen, you sat on a chair and put both hands on your face.
Guilt.
Fear.
Confusion.
His voice. His confession. His closeness.
Everything hit at once.
You whispered to yourself:
"Why does it hurt when he's hurting?"
"Why does his voice affect me like this?"
"What am I feeling?"
Your heart pounded.
For the first time…
You were scared that maybe…
Just maybe…
You were falling for him.
Distance, Scandal & The Almost-Kiss
The day after Taehyung's confession felt heavier than the night sky.
You woke up expecting awkwardness…
But instead, you got emptiness.
Taehyung wasn't in the room.
Not on the bed.
Not in the kitchen.
Just silence.
A small note lay on the table:
"Went to office. Don't wait for me for dinner."
—T
You read it three times.
Your stomach dropped.
He was avoiding you now.
🌫️ Taehyung Starts Avoiding You
The next two days were the same.
Taehyung left early.
Came home late.
Ate separately.
Spoke only in short, polite sentences.
You felt the distance like a knife.
Whenever he crossed paths with you:
You: "Tae—"
Taehyung: "Hmm."
(avoids eye contact)
You: "Can we talk?"
Taehyung: "Later. I'm tired."
But you could see it.
He wasn't tired.
He was avoiding the pain.
The same pain he told you he wouldn't run from.
And the terrible part?
You missed him.
His voice.
His nagging.
His warmth beside you at night.
His gentleness when you cried.
His stupid jokes.
His midnight ramen.
Everything.
💥 The New Scandal Explodes
You were in your studio rehearsing when Jungkook burst in.
Jungkook:
"Y/n— you need to see this. Now."
Your stomach flipped.
He handed you his phone.
A new headline was everywhere:
"Y/N caught visiting Yoongi's apartment late night — Are they dating?"
"Y/N kisses Yoongi AGAIN? New leaked picture goes viral."
"Taehyung's wife in another scandal — Divorce soon?"
Your hands shook.
You:
"This is insane… that day I only went to give him his guitar back—"
Jungkook:
"I know. But the media doesn't care."
Another picture popped up:
You and Yoongi on your set, playing truth/dare weeks ago.
The moment you kissed Yoongi during the game as a dare—
just a friendly peck—
It was everywhere.
You felt dizzy.
You: "Tae…"
Your voice cracked.
"He's going to misunderstand again."
Jungkook:
"He already saw it."
Your heart went cold.
🌧️ Taehyung Comes Home Early
For the first time in days, Taehyung came early.
The house was dead silent.
You were pacing the living room.
Taehyung walked in— expression unreadable.
You opened your mouth—
Taehyung:
"It's fine."
His voice was too calm.
Too controlled.
You: "Tae, I didn't—"
Taehyung:
"I said it's fine."
He avoided your eyes and passed by you.
You followed him.
You: "It was just a dare. Yoongi is my friend. Why are you acting like this?"
He stopped.
Didn't turn.
Taehyung:
"Because every time I try to get close to you… every time I try to even hope…"
He exhaled shakily.
"These things pull us apart again."
Your chest tightened painfully.
You: "I didn't do anything wrong."
Taehyung finally turned to you.
His eyes were glossy—
hurt, jealous, confused.
Taehyung:
"You didn't."
(soft)
"But it still hurts."
Your breath caught.
He walked past you again, heading to your shared bedroom.
And that's when it happened—
🔥 The Almost-Kiss — The Most Unexpected Moment
You followed him, calling his name.
You: "Taehyung, stop! Look at me—"
He turned suddenly.
You misstepped.
Your foot slipped on the carpet.
You stumbled forward.
And Taehyung instinctively grabbed your waist—
pulling you flush against his chest.
Your faces were inches apart.
Literally inches.
Your breaths collided.
His hand tightened at your waist.
Your fingers grabbed his shirt to balance yourself.
His eyes flicked down to your lips.
Just for a second.
But it was enough to send shivers through your whole body.
The world went silent.
You didn't move.
He didn't either.
His voice came out low, barely a whisper—
Taehyung:
"Why do you always fall…
into me?"
Your heart stopped.
You whispered:
You:
"Maybe… because you catch me."
His breath hitched.
His forehead touched yours, just lightly—
A breath away from your lips.
Taehyung:
"Y/n… don't make me want something I might not have."
The ache in his voice almost broke you.
Your lips almost brushed—
almost—
before reality slapped you.
You quickly pulled away, breath shaking.
You:
"I… I need water."
You walked away, your heart beating like crazy.
Taehyung didn't follow.
But he watched you leave…
eyes filled with something dangerous, soft…
and completely undeniable.
