Chapter 10.
-Y/n-
Once the whole wedding process had concluded, we were left with the task of heading to the hotel room his parents had arranged for our honeymoon. Honestly, I couldn't fathom what they were thinking. Did they not realize that we don't even like each other?
Oh, and let's not forget about the media frenzy at the wedding hall. Both of our families being influential in the business world meant that the paparazzi were swarming the place, invading any semblance of privacy we had left.
Sitting in the car beside Taehyung, I glanced out the window, trying to ignore the tension between us. I removed the irritating accessories and settled into a more comfortable position. The chauffeur drove us in silence to the hotel, and that silence was unbearable. I longed for some music or any distraction to break the monotony.
I couldn't help but sigh in frustration, causing Taehyung to give me an annoyed glare.
"Sit still!" He whisper shouted. It was as if he thought the chauffeur couldn't hear us. It was just the three of us in the car, after all.
Returning the glare, I couldn't hold back my irritation as I snapped, "Wear a dress and then you'll know how hard it is to sit still with all these layers."
I didn't want to argue with him, but he always found a way to provoke me. I just wanted some breathing room.
Taehyung seemed to be at a loss for words, so he just looked away, avoiding the confrontation. I wished we could at least be friends since I was going to work as his secretary, and we needed some semblance of teamwork for that to happen. However, he seemed to have no interest in that. I couldn't help but feel a strong hate towards him.
As we reached the hotel, I stepped out of the car and glared at him one last time before heading to the reception. Taehyung, being his oh-so-charming self, simply followed without a word. I could feel the paparazzi's eyes burning into my skin as we walked, but I refused to give them the satisfaction of seeing me break.
Once inside the hotel room, I couldn't help but let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Wow, they really outdid themselves with this love nest, huh?" I mocked, gesturing around the room with fake enthusiasm.
He shot me an irritated look, "Don't even start."
"Hey, don't worry," I retorted, "I'll make sure to maintain my six feet of personal space at all times. Wouldn't want you getting overwhelmed with my presence."
His scowl deepened, but I couldn't care less. I pulled out my phone, trying to escape the awkwardness with some mindless scrolling.
"We both can't sleep on the same bed. I don't allow that," Taehyung muttered as if I was begging to sleep with him.
"Don't worry, I don't even want to be anywhere near you. You sleep on the couch, and I sleep on the bed," I snapped back, still scrolling on my phone to avoid eye contact.
"Why would I? I can't have my back ache while sleeping on the couch. You sleep there!"
"Are you being for real now?" I couldn't believe his immaturity.
"My parents did this so their money is mine, and I have the bigger say in this," Taehyung answered, his behavior almost childlike.
Even an 8-year-old wouldn't be as immature as him. Exhausted from the bickering, I nodded in resignation.
As he walked away to the washroom, I opened my luggage to change into my pyjamas. I was looking throygh my luggage for a while and that's when I noticed Taehyung's bag slightly open, and a small zip lock bag was about to fall out. It looked like some medicine pouch. I reached to put it back in when Taehyung came striding towards me from the washroom, his expression frightening.
"What the fuck do you think you are doing?" he said in a menacing voice, gripping my wrist with an unnaturally strong hold.
The pain shot through my arm, but I was more unnerved by his pitch-black eyes. It was like looking into the abyss, and I feared what lay beneath.
"Taehyung! Fuck, leave me. It hurts!" I pleaded, my heart racing.
His eyes suddenly returned to normal, and he released his grip, taking the small bag and dumping it back into his own. Without a word, he walked out of the hotel room.
I stood there, trembling, trying to comprehend what had just happened. I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something darker and more sinister hidden beneath the surface of this forced union.
