BACK AT THE DORM – A NEW TURN
Just when everyone thought the night was ending…
Your phone pinged.
A new message.
FROM: Director Han
"We need you on set tomorrow early… and I want to discuss a special new scene with you and Tae."
You frowned.
"New scene? He didn't mention anything."
Tae looked over. "What happened?"
You showed him the message.
His eyebrows shot up.
"A special scene? With you and me?"
Jungkook leaned in like a detective.
"Special as in… romantic?"
Jin gasped dramatically.
"Is this the 'new plot twist' the production was hinting at?!"
Yoongi simply said,
"Wow. That's… unexpected."
You and Tae exchanged a look.
A long… slow… breathless look.
And your heart knew—
Things were about to change. A lot.
The truth–dare night ended softly, the laughter still floating in the air as everyone left one by one. Jin hugged you tight, Yoongi gave a lazy wave, and Jungkook squeezed your shoulder before walking out.
The apartment fell silent.
Only you and Taehyung remained.
He was leaning against the balcony door, hands in his pockets, watching you quietly.
You could feel his gaze… warm, tired, a little jealous, a little proud, a little everything.
You softly:
"Are you angry about the Yoongi dare-kiss still?"
Taehyung sighed and walked to you.
Taehyung:
"I'm not angry… I just hated how it made me feel."
You blinked.
"What did it make you feel?"
He looked down at you, eyes softening.
Taehyung:
"…like I could lose you."
Your chest tightened.
"Tae… you're not losing me."
Taehyung:
"You're a global star now, Y/N. Everyone wants you. You are becoming… bigger than anything I imagined. And I'm just trying to keep up."
You shook your head and touched his arm.
Y/N:
"You're not 'just' anything. You're Taehyung. You built an entire company. You've protected me when no one else did. You're—"
Taehyung (cutting you off softly):
"—your husband."
Silence.
Your breath caught.
He had never said it like this before.
Not shy, not awkward… but firm. Certain.
Then he gave a tiny smile.
Taehyung:
"I know you didn't love me the way I loved you… at the beginning. And that's okay. I never forced you. I just needed to know… if I still matter."
You stepped closer.
Y/N:
"Tae… you've always mattered. Even when I was confused… you were my comfort."
His eyes softened dangerously—
That look that burns gently, slowly, deeply.
⭐ THE FIRST SHIFT — A REAL COUPLE MOMENT
You both walked into the bedroom together, slow, unsure, but drawn toward each other.
You sat on the bed.
He sat next to you, knees touching yours.
You whispered:
"Tae… can we try again? Both of us? As friends… maybe more?"
He didn't answer at first.
Instead, he cupped your cheek gently, like you were delicate glass.
Taehyung:
"Look at me."
You did.
Taehyung:
"If we try again… I'm not letting you walk away. Not even for a second."
Your heart skipped.
Y/N:
"Then don't let me."
He leaned closer.
You felt his breath.
The mattress dipped under his weight.
Warm fingers brushed your jaw.
Your lips met softly—
Not rushed, not wild,
but slow… like rediscovering something you didn't know you needed.
You kissed back.
And he smiled into the kiss, deepening it, pulling you closer, his hand sliding around your waist.
Still gentle.
Still respectful.
Still full of years of unspoken feelings.
The lights dimmed.
He pressed his forehead to yours.
Taehyung (whispering):
"Stay."
And you stayed.
Fade to black — gentle, mature intimacy, full of warmth rather than graphic detail.
⭐ NEXT MORNING — NEW CHAPTERS START
Sunlight hit your face.
Taehyung was already awake, lying on his side, watching you with a sleepy smile.
Taehyung:
"You look happy."
You stretched.
"Because I am."
He tucked a strand of hair behind your ear.
Taehyung:
"I have something to tell you."
You raised a brow.
Taehyung:
"Kim Industries… we're officially expanding to the US and Europe. We're becoming a full MNC."
Your eyes widened.
"Tae— that's huge!"
He shrugged, pretending not to be proud.
Taehyung:
"I wanted to tell you last night… but you were too busy kissing Yoongi."
You smacked him with a pillow.
He burst out laughing.
Then you whispered softly:
"I'm proud of you."
His expression melted.
⭐ YOUR CAREER EXPLODES
Within the next weeks—
You recorded three international collabs.
You had a Billboard interview.
Your New York concert sold out in 8 minutes.
Videos of your voice went viral everywhere.
You weren't just a Korean idol anymore—
You were a global icon.
And Tae watched all of it.
Silent. Supportive. Proud from the sidelines.
One evening, he called you from Seoul.
Taehyung:
"I saw the Billboard rehearsal clip."
You:
"And?"
Taehyung:
"You're crazy talented… and dangerously beautiful."
You covered your face, blushing.
Y/N:
"Tae—"
Taehyung:
"I'm coming to LA for business next week. If you're free… have dinner with me?"
Your heart fluttered.
Y/N:
"It's a date."
