I and Taehyung waited for the guest, he said she was very important to him. I shouldn't create any new scenes. I was explaining to myself when we heard a bell ring, Taehyung glances at me before approaching the main door. He opened a door revealing a tall skinny lady says hi to him and hugged him. Taehyung leads her to the living room where it was standing, I was fiddling my fingers due to nervous, they both look like to close, the lady is so beautiful and she was wearing a red dress appearing her left arm sleeveless and right hand with full sleeve same goes to the legs partially displaying her long skinny legs making me feel uncomfortable how modern she is and her aura looks evil.
The way she is hugging him as if she's gonna kiss him. I frowned Taehyung didn't even budge when she is sticking to him as though he is her property. I don't like her first impression only, she's failed in my book. She looks disgusted when her eyes met mine for a second. Taehyung clears his throat and looks at me lovingly. He came towards me and side-hugged me, pulling me closer to him, his warmness transferring to me when he touches me I feel relieved.
"Meet Miss Nora, she's my wife Ara" Taehyung introduced me . "and she is my producer Miss Nora" Taehyung introduced her. She extended her hand to me for shaking and look aside from where Taehyung is standing he gestures to me and I politely accepted Her shake . "nice to meet you Ara" she politely stated but I'm receiving fake and bad vibes from her. I smiled at her . "can we start Miss Nora?" Taehyung asked her as I frowned In the confusion and he gestures for me to go upstairs and I nodded silently and walked away.
***
It's an hour, Taehyung didn't call my name to come downstairs, is he that busy? Or did she goes off? Taehyung Maybe forget to call me? Aish this curiosity one day kills me.
I quietly opened the door not to make any noise I tiptoe towards the stairs, and silently I moved what if she was still there? I hide behind the partial wall of the stairs, I listen to their voices I know it's wrong but I'm curious to know what Taehyung and she was doing.
"You know I don't like women who try to seduce me" Taehyung stated.
"I know but I'm different and you very well know that if someone wants to maintain their position in the industry they have to please me" Miss Nora exclaimed.
I frowned at their conversation, what kind of please does she need? What she's talking about? And Taehyung why did he tell her about the women?
"And you also know that whoever tries to butt in me, her carrier is finished" "Maybe you remembered about the last lady" Taehyung stated.

Enough I can't handle their talks I need to peek now. So I slowly bend to see what they are doing when my eyes are planted on them I gasped, and I quickly put my hand on my mouth to prevent my nose.
My eyes become watery at the front scenes, I didn't expect this from him. The lady was sitting on Taehyung's lap, his hand wondering all her exposed parts of legs and a small smirk plastered on his lips. He was having fun with her, my lips are quivering, I don't know why but my heart is aching too much. Is he playing with me? Is he loves me? Her exposed cleavage she's showing to him to seduce him and he was like having fun. I gulped. The lady was going to kiss him I quickly moved my gaze and ran away to my room.
Is he playing with my feelings? Did he love me? This is why he's telling me about the so-called important guest. That's why he is behaving cold towards me since morning?
Why Am I so weak? Can't I be bold enough to fight for myself? I swallowed hard to ease my pain but no tears are rolling down continuously. My heart is aching, the feeling was killing me. I loved him so much, that I gave myself to him. I allowed him to touch me, I allowed him to kiss me. I shouldn't give myself that easily to him.
I cried loudly, I slapped myself to be weak and cowardly like this.
Why is it so aching? I let out my sobs softly, my eyes become blurry and heavy. I'm so tired, so tired.
My eyes are slowly opening, I'm so tired to even move my body. The first thing I see after my eyes open is pure darkness. I sigh and stood up.
After opening the door, sharp light hits on my eyes, I immediately closed the eyes after a few blinks then I can open them while adjusting the light. As soon as I opened my eyes my breath hitched Taehyung standing in front of me, glaring at me dangerously while leaning on the wall.
"Was it enough or you wanna sleep more ?". Taehyung stated nonchalantly.
"Umm I-I was c-coming ". I nervously stuttered.
He came closer to me slowly, his every step towards me making my breath uneven and developing a sudden rush of fear in my nerves. The distance between us was reduced by his every step. His hot breath fanning on his forehead. It was a few inches in distance between us now, I swallowed hard while maintaining my gaze down staring at my and his feet. He was wearing black shoes while me just a slipper, I frowned In confusion did he go out?
All of a sudden his cold palms slightly hold my arms, his cold touch makes me slight flinched. I again swallowed hard, my whole body was paralysed again, I don't want to feel this weird feeling again, there was a tension in the atmosphere. The feeling is a mixture of anxiety, fear, stress, uneasy. He connects his forehead to mine making my eyes widen. His hot breath fanning my face sent shivers down my spine. I wanted to move, I wanted to disappear in a thin layer of air.

His deep voice makes my muscles stiff "I told you not to come outside" His voice is hoarse and rough, My eyes widened at his question did he know that I came to see him? "Ara I asked you something?" When he speaks his hot breath touches my face making me more noxious.
"Speak" He asked sternly while raising his voice. Suddenly I can move my tongue but not my body "umm mmm I-I was just ch-checking on y-you" I somehow complete my sentence. "you want to check on me? Huh? Or are you doubting on me?" His voice is so deep that increases my beating.
I swallowed hard, his forehead still connected to me, his hot breath still fanning on my face, his eyes were closed and my eyes are down staring at our feet. It was pure silence until Taehyung breaks the silence. " it was just for the upcoming project whatever you saw during the evening, I didn't mean anything to her, you know how much I love you" Suddenly His confession leads my eyes widened again and now my chest heaved up and down, his confession makes me relieved and somewhat helpless and I don't know why I feel like he is hiding something, a truth that defines my existence. Before leaving me he kissed my forehead, his warm kisses give me comfort, at home, and it shows a sign of love. And reminded my first kiss with him that was addicted, connected forever.
Third-person p.o.v :
I was going back to my apartment it was 11 pm, and my shift is over. I finally can take a rest now. I was on the path halfway from my home it was just 20 minutes to go. I took a deep breath and focus on the road. When my eyes landed on the road something I feel weird, I saw a shadowy figure following me. I started to panic, I quickly moved my steps and took a big step toward my home. The more big steps I took the more shadowing figure comes close to me.
Then I started running, I was panting. I ran around 10 minutes but unfortunately, I took the wrong alley. I took a deep breath and wondered every corner if that figure was there or not but I didn't see anything. I gathered up the courage to get back on my path but before I could take another step, someone, from behind attacked me and I fall onto hard ground. The pain was only what I'm feeling, my eyes becoming blurry and heavy, I tried to open my eyes only to a see figure but all I can see is a man with a hammer standing in front of me with an all-black cover and mask and hat. I feel somewhat wet coming from my head but I'm too weak to react and help myself .soon after my eyes closed, everything is black.
***
I feel bored sitting on the couch and wandering my eyes all over the eyes. Taehyung, as usual, sat beside me but his eyes were focused on the tv. I sighed and fiddled my fingers due to bore ness, he was watching the news.
Then I thought to go upstairs and do something, I was about to go Taehyung's voice stopped me in my tracks. I moved my body to see what happened.
"where are you going?" He asked me still his eyes were on the tv, I frowned and sigh for the nth time today. "I'm feeling bored so I wanted to do something" I stated nervously.
He moved his gaze and met mine, his gaze was intense yet beautiful then he patted beside his place to signal me to sit. I mentally rolled my eyes and again sat beside him, his eyes were softened again his aura changed." Your so beautiful you know" He whispered in a deep voice while cupping my cheeks gently giving me a tingling sensation in my stomach.
Slowly his fingers raffled my front hair making me more anxious and shy. God, I'm feeling so shy am I blushing so hard his cold fingers when touched my warm skin make my heart flutter and develop a sudden rush of blissfulness.
I'm on the ride of a high level of emotions of love and have the feeling of warmness. Sweat forms in my temples due to mountains of emotions bursting out.
Taehyung p.o.v :
"Do you want anything?" I softly asked making her confused. She asked back for a clear explanation.
"Like anything you want"
"Anything?" She asked while scrunching her cute little nose, so cute she is. I nodded.
"Oh, you must get it anything by money" She stated cutely, she's such a baby gosh I wanted to ruin her again.
"Naah, I softly stated.
"Then when I make a wish, then why God doesn't fulfil mine," She asked innocently.
"I smiled at her, you tell me whatever you want I'll fulfil all your wishes" I muttered.
She scoffed and spoke, " Woah seems like you have direct contact with God"
I nodded at her statement, and she shook her head in disbelief. "am not a child Taehyung, I can know what is real and what is a fantasy" I smirked at her statement-making her brows scrounged.
Hey tingles how are you'll?
Who do uh think are the women who were attacked?
What do uh think could happen next? 😏

Ren has a skill as well, or at least he was told he did, but he had no inkling of how to use it.

A luminous pillar descended upon him and one of his classmates. Goddess Helastia, one of the most revered goddess, called them to herself, probably not a good news. However, there, he finds that a group of heroes has been summoned from his past world to confront the Devils that will be rising soon. But contrary to his assumption of being a hero himself, she referred to him as a reincarnated imposter. She labeled both of them as Humanity's Traitors and sends them into a dungeon where they were supposed to live. That is, with their masters and comrades, the Devils and their minions. The monsters in the dungeon were not likely to accept them as allies, instead, they were out to devour the delicacies that appeared in their home. Only despair awaited them. ---------------------------------------------------------- This novel is inspired from Neets's parallel world syndrome, Abnormal state skill and bunch of other jp novels, this is also my first time writing a web novel.
