CHAPTER – X ~ CAGED IN ARMS

🎧:  "You Belong with Me" – Taylor Swift

🎀Y/n's POV: 

I was trying to help myself after completely and foolishly blowing off all my chances with Taehyung. Ugh! It sucks to be a pathetic human. I wish I had superpowers. Why don't they keep stools in the library? Ugh! Waeeee??? What are cute girls like me supposed to do in this cruel world? And before you call me short, maybe upgrade your dictionary—because it's not short, it's "down to Earth." People should understand there's a reason why giraffes aren't the kings of the jungle. Witty, I know.

But all my witty remarks weren't helping me now. I was still struggling—jumping, skipping, and stretching to grab the novel I so desperately wanted.

End of Y/N's POV.

🎮Taehyung's POV:
She was taking forever to come out, so I thought of checking on her. She's quite the bookworm, so I wouldn't be surprised if she had already dived into her fantasy world. That's just how she is—once she's lost in a book, nothing else exists. No one—literally no one—should disturb her. Unless, of course, it's for food. Then, and only then, will she acknowledge your existence.

I strolled into the library, scanning the aisles, when I found my cute little dwarf, jumping like a kangaroo, trying to reach her novel. She could have just called me, but no. Her stubbornness had to shine.

I leaned against the bookshelf, arms crossed, watching her with an amused smirk. She was so determined that she didn't even notice I was standing just a few feet away. It was honestly adorable. Her foolish yet endearing struggle entertained me for a good ten minutes before I decided to step in.

Without a word, I walked up behind her and effortlessly lifted her off the ground.

🌈Author's POV:

Y/N was still looking around for a stool, muttering complaints under her breath, completely immersed in her melodramatic frustration. She was so caught up in grumbling about her fate that she didn't even register when two strong arms wrapped around her waist, lifting her effortlessly. One moment, her feet were on the ground. The next, she was pressed against a firm, warm chest.

End of Author's POV.

"She fit against him like she belonged there. Like she had always belonged there."

🎀Y/N's POV:
One second, I was lamenting my fate, and the next, I was airborne.

It took me a second to realize what was happening. The sudden warmth, the faint musky scent mixed with something uniquely Taehyung, and the feeling of being weightless—it all hit me at once. My breath hitched when I felt hot breath fanning my neck. Slowly, I turned my head, only to find Taehyung holding me securely against his chest, as if I weighed nothing.
