CHAPTER – XVII ~ SWIRLING INTO SOMETHING MORE
🎧: "Love in the Dark" –Adele.
🌈AUTHOR'S POV:
At Taehyung's house—
Taehyung pushed the living room table aside, creating enough space for them to dance. He retrieved a large sheet of paper, setting it at the center of the room. As Y/N admired the intricate details of his home, Taehyung seized the moment. With a swift motion, he twirled her in, catching her wrist and pulling her toward him until she was pressed firmly against his chest. His hands instinctively found her waist, holding her in place as their eyes met.

"You are the feeling I never saw coming, but now I can't imagine life without."

His deep brown gaze locked with her dark, searching eyes, emotions crackling in the air between them. Neither dared to make the next move. Their hearts pounded in sync, pushing them toward an inevitable moment—one that teetered on the edge of a confession, a kiss, a surrender. But just as the tension reached its peak, the sharp ring of the doorbell shattered the fragile stillness.
"Maybe the food delivery is here. I'll get that," Taehyung muttered, stepping away abruptly, leaving Y/N tangled in her thoughts.
He opened the door, confirming his suspicion. Accepting the delivery, he set the parcels down on the dining table before turning back to her.
"Are you hungry, Buttercup?" he asked casually, as if nothing had happened.
End Of Author's POV.
Y/N's POV –
How could he act so nonchalant? Did that moment mean nothing to him? Did he truly see me only as a best friend? Didn't he feel the butterflies, the heat, the way my heart raced as if it wanted to escape my chest? Am I forcing emotions onto him that don't exist?
But whenever I'm with him, I feel something—something pulling us together, as if an invisible thread connects us. Maybe it's all in my head. Maybe we're nothing more than friends, and I need to drill that into my thick skull.
End Of Y/n's POV.
Author's POV
"Let's get started, hm? Shall we?" Taehyung's voice was light, but his sharp eyes noticed the small pout forming on her lips. It didn't take him more than a second to know she was upset. And here she was, thinking he didn't care.
"What's bothering you, Buttercup? Tell me." He said, stepping closer. "Is something or someone troubling you? Just say the word, and I'll take care of it. Come rain or shine, you're my only priority."
"It's nothing, Tae," she replied, forcing a small smile.
He raised a perfectly arched eyebrow, unconvinced.
"I mean it. If something were actually bothering me, I'd come to you," she continued. "You're the only one I have."
Something inside Taehyung clenched—probably his heart, swelling at her words. You're the only one for me. The phrase looped in his head like a broken record, but he swallowed it down, choosing silence.
