Royal Messages: Love Beyond the Screen || Kim Teahyung

Chapter 13: Revealing the Crown

After leaving the school nurse's office hand in hand, Taehyung and Y/N walked down the college hallway, their fingers intertwined as they headed towards their next class. Despite the busy and bustling surroundings, they were in their own world, basking in the warmth of their newfound love.

As Taehyung and Y/N reached the entrance of their college classroom, Y/N came to a sudden stop, her brows furrowing in confusion. Her mind was torn between her academic responsibilities and her newfound affection for Taehyung, and she couldn't help but feel torn.

"Tae," she said, her voice quivering with uncertainty, "we have to go back to class. I can't afford to miss any more lectures."

Taehyung, understanding the importance of her education, couldn't help but smile at her dedication. He gently cupped her face with his hands, his thumbs brushing away the strands of hair that had fallen over her forehead. "I appreciate your commitment to your studies, Y/N," he said softly, "but I can't let you go back to where those bullies are. It's not safe for you."

"But I can't just skip class, Tae," she pleaded softly, her voice tinged with worry. "I need to graduate. My future depends on it."

Taehyung's determination was unwavering. He shook his head, his eyes filled with concern for her well-being. "Y/N, your safety is more important. We can find a way to make up for the missed classes, but I can't let you be hurt again."

Y/N looked into Taehyung's eyes, her heart aching at the worry she saw in his gaze. She knew he was right, that her safety was of paramount importance. Still, the internal conflict weighed heavily on her.

As Taehyung and Y/N entered her cozy apartment, he couldn't shake the lingering feeling of concern for her safety. He knew that he couldn't change what had happened at college, but he was determined to make her feel safe and loved in this moment.

They settled onto the plush couch, and the atmosphere was filled with a mixture of comfort and tension. Taehyung, still holding onto her hand, pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her with a gentle, protective embrace. Y/N leaned into his chest, her head resting against his shoulder, finding solace in his presence.

Their fingers intertwined naturally, their hands fitting together as if they were made for each other. Taehyung's touch was warm and reassuring, and Y/N felt a sense of security she had never experienced before.

The room was bathed in the soft, warm glow of afternoon sunlight streaming through the window, casting a golden hue on their intertwined figures. The atmosphere was charged with the unspoken emotions that had brought them closer together.

As they cuddled on the couch, Taehyung's fingers traced gentle patterns on Y/N's skin, his touch creating a soothing rhythm that seemed to synchronize with the beating of their hearts. His fingers moved tenderly along her arm, leaving a trail of warmth and comfort in their wake.

Y/N closed her eyes, savoring the sensation of his touch, the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed in tandem with her. She could hear the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, and it seemed to echo the feelings that had grown between them-steady, genuine, and filled with affection.

Taehyung's lips found their way to the top of Y/N's head, and he pressed a soft, loving kiss there, his breath warm against her skin. It was a silent gesture, an unspoken promise of his devotion and protection.

They stayed in that cozy embrace for what felt like an eternity, a haven of love and affection in the midst of a world that could be harsh and unforgiving. The outside world faded away, leaving only the two of them, wrapped in each other's arms, their hearts entwined.

In that moment, Taehyung couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt gnawing at him. He had been keeping his true identity hidden from Y/N, not even revealing his full name. He wanted to be completely honest with her, especially now that they were a couple.
